This is another sign of the prejudice in america! Dinosaurs...that are all American? what happened to the Arab-american Raptor?

This might work....there was the American Tale show...and it was ok...so far as i remember.

American Tail did'nt have eleven crappy sequels

Weren't the 12 movies or whatever enough? God, I remember the first one being out when I was like 6.

Well, if I remember my rumors correctly, they had all those sequels because, at the time, they couldn't get a TV deal.

But really, I think the franchise has worn itself out…

The first movie was great, it's still one of my favorite animated movies. I like it cause it was done by Don Bluth. I love some of his other movies like Secret of Nimh and American Tale. The LBT sequels suck cause he wasn't making them, and obviously, they were done for the all mighty buck, to bank on something that's hot, which means that the WB had to get the product out as soon as possilbe, who gives a crap if the quality sucks.

If you ask me, turning LBT into a series is a dumb idea. We already had a cartoon series about young dinosaurs growing up in the cretacious (sp?), and it was called Dink the Little F**king Dinosaur. And that show was good.

Kill me now please.

As long as you can kill me next *sharpens sword*

:nod: I hear ya :lol:

I'm sure kids who weren't even born when the first 11 movies came out will enjoy it.

WOW...I used to like the series as a kid I mean the movies. But a show? That's just mental.

Well, we'd never see commercials...:P

The movies were all direct to DVD and didn't get alota TV air time. With a show they can advertise the movies, make toys, shirts, and make more money on merch then a direct to DVD release.

I for one am TOTALLY happy about this!!! I have all the movies on video and will eventually have em all on DVD.

I've been a fan of TLBT since the first movie!! Can't wait for the tv series... Nope Nope Nope! :D

Too bad we have to wait till 2007 for the series to premier... ah well....hopefully most of the OAV cast will be there for the tv series..... Rob Paulsen is forever the voice of Spike. :D

Damn Damn Damn. :P

I'll still watch it, too. Sara rocks. 8)

As rubbish as as the remaining movies are, I do have to agree the first movie was the most mature

I think Trishsa Takanowa can describe the progress of what I hope the series eventually undergoes

"Diana, I'm standing outside the offices of Universal, where they are planning on changing the storylines of The Land Before Time to something a little less GAY"

Not to be nit-picky but her name is Cera not Sara. It's a play on the fact that she's a TriCERAtops. Her father is named Daddy Tops. :P

My fave's are Ducky the Parasauralophus and Chomper the talking baby T-Rex(Sharptooth). :D

My fave of the films is the Great Long Neck Migration in which Littlefoot meets his father for the first time. I think it's kinda frelled up tho that his dad shows up after his mom has been dead for years. :ohwell:

I just hope that the animated series isn't a musical like the OAV series is. Some of the songs are cute but after a while they get annoying....

I hope Allie is in the series! The ending of the 3rd (or was it 4th?) movie indicated she would show up again so with a tv series she just HAS to show up! Give Littlefoot more reasons to drool and for Cera to be jelous again of Littlefoot's little Girlfriend. :lol:

Give me a break. It's been a while! :lol:

Haha I can see it now.... "Oh no we must save the world from the evil bad dinosaur!! YOU BIG MEANIE!!! *coughBUY OUR TOYScough*"

so wait, you have a problem with it, when its the land before time, but not when its the turtles?

I'm wondering the same thing...
