Post by: Anyponedrawn on 2017-01-13 21:36:17: Not only did I like the movie as a kid, I also liked the direct to home videos they made! I had a few, up till Chomper I think. ;D

I used to love the movie so much, I watched it on repeat!

Post by: Death Blossom on 2017-01-13 21:38:01: I love this movie. One of Bluth's best. It boils my blood when people call this a Disney movie. Disney wouldn't have the balls to do what Bluth did in this movie. Hell, his version was darker, having scenes like where LF's moms back getting ripped out was actually ON SCREEN! But his buddies told him that maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay scar kids for life.

Post by: Smiles2us on 2017-01-13 21:39:51: This was a fine example of a Bluth film, and I might even say his best! I am glad Disney never got their hands on this and tamed it down to a princess story. This film is very close to perfection in many regards.

Post by: Death Blossom on 2017-01-13 21:42:05: Uh... Why would Disney get their hands on it? He was working, not exactly on his own, but he left Disney. I doubt he'd go to them for help on his film....

For me it's a toss up between this and Secret of NIMH. Both of which I watched as a kid. I love how both films are very dark, literally, very gloomy shots. Not a lot of lighting. Very grainy and gritty. It's really beautiful, and such a trademark Bluth thing. I love the man. He's great.

Post by: DEEcat98 on 2017-01-13 21:43:25: IKR! Great movie! I also like the sequels as well too, not as much as the first but I still like them.
Title: Re: The Land Before Time
Post by: Death Blossom on 2017-01-13 21:45:27: The sequels are nice, I enjoyed them as a kid.

I feel the one that got the closest to the tone of the first one was the one with the second LF. The girl. And how his grandpa was dying and stuff. Not exact, but close.

Post by: Blurr on 2017-01-13 21:47:51: it was really funny seeing Don Bluth on one of the Nostalgia Critic's videos.

Post by: Smiles2us on 2017-01-13 21:48:33: I'm saying it's lucky he had moved on from Disney. Imagine if he had pitched this idea to Disney earlier or he was still with them. We might never have even gotten this film.
Title: Re: The Land Before Time
Post by: Soda on 2017-01-13 21:52:24: The Land Before Time films now are nothing but videos for parents to plunk their kids in front of. No real value or meaning, and really not related to the first film in anyway. But I'm fine with that... kids franchises do their thing...

I'm just happy for the first film we got. The animation was great. Hand drawn poetry.

Post by: Blurr on 2017-01-13 21:53:05: don't forget there was a land before time SHOW as well. I never saw, and I have no desire at all to do so.
Title: Re: The Land Before Time
Post by: Anyponedrawn on 2017-01-13 21:53:48: There was a show. I never saw it either... but thats not something I plan to watch ;)

i believe he did. And they didn't want to do it. So he said "I'll make my own movie! With blackjack and hookers!"

The show isn't that bad. There's just that annoying ass pink flamingo looking Dino.

What are they now, their nineteenth voice actor change? ;) Lol!
Title: Re: The Land Before Time
Post by: Death Blossom on 2017-01-13 22:04:29: Pfff, probs.
Title: Re: The Land Before Time
Post by: Soda on 2017-01-13 22:09:23: As I kid I noticed all the voice changes too. Lol.
Title: Re: The Land Before Time
Post by: Death Blossom on 2017-01-13 22:16:31: Really?
I barely did. Except maybe LF's.
Title: Re: The Land Before Time
Post by: Soda on 2017-01-13 22:17:57: I noticed Petri too.
Title: Re: The Land Before Time
Post by: Anyponedrawn on 2017-01-13 22:18:23: *Purposely speaks stupid.*

I noticed SPIKE'S voice change.
Title: Re: The Land Before Time
Post by: Death Blossom on 2017-01-13 22:27:17: Pfffff XD
Did they change Petri? Why, his original VA was an adult. His voice wouldn't get older lol.
Title: Re: The Land Before Time
Post by: Anyponedrawn on 2017-01-13 22:29:11: Don't know why. Maybe they couldn't keep doing that voice? Not sure.
Title: Re: The Land Before Time
Post by: Blurr on 2017-01-13 22:30:47: I don't really remember
Title: Re: The Land Before Time
Post by: Death Blossom on 2017-01-13 22:34:49: Hm, yeah maybe.
Title: Re: The Land Before Time
Post by: Anyponedrawn on 2017-01-13 22:35:32: Will Ryan (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Will_Ryan) was the voice of Petrie in the film.

Jeff Bennet voices Petrie in the first direct to video home movie to the current 2016 home movie.

Title: Re: The Land Before Time
Post by: Umeko on 2017-01-14 01:40:36: One of the BEST movies made by Don Bluth ever! I LOVE this movie! And I don't mind the sequels of it, they're nice and the tv show is nice too!
Title: Re: The Land Before Time
Post by: DEEcat98 on 2017-01-14 08:14:38: Oh yeah and The Land Before Time returned last year with a new movie if any of you heard about it.
Title: Re: The Land Before Time
Post by: Death Blossom on 2017-01-14 09:21:40: I think after 13 no one wanted the movies to come back. Forget what it was called, something about wisdom and friendship? Even I felt it should stop after that one came out. The one with the 3 fat stupid dinosaurs who in surprised survived as long as they did lol.
Title: Re: The Land Before Time
Post by: Kyrl on 2017-01-14 11:15:13: One of my favorites growing up. The sequels, not so much.
