The Land Before Time

[Raph's Girl]

On February 27th the 12th movie in the series, The Great Day of the Flyers, will be coming out to DVD in America (It's been out in Australia since Dec 2006).

Also on March 5th the Land Before Time tv series will be premiering on Cartoon Network at 6:30am with a repeat at 9:30am. Thank the gods for the repeat cuz there's no way I'd get up at 6:30 am even if it is Land Before Time. It has been airing in Canada since January tho.

Characters from the movies returning for the series:

Tria: She first appeared in "Invasion of the Tinysauruses" as an old flame of Cera's father, Topsy. By the time of the new movie Tria and Topsy are married and expecting some wee ones. Tria also appears in the tv series of course.

No clue what happened to Cera's mom. She might have gotten eaten by a Sharptooth or killed in an earthquake.

Chomper: A baby T-rex/sharp tooth who first apeared in the 2nd movie and then again in the 9th. From the episode details it appears that he's in the tv series a great deal. Which is fine with me!

Ali: She first appeared in the 4th movie and at the end the narrator said that she would return one day. Well... she returns finally in the tv series!! WOOHOO!! Among the long necks in Ali's herd tho appears to be a rival for Little Foot. His name is Rhett.

A brand new characters introduced to the series:

Ruby: She's an Oviraptor (she eats both plants and meat) who takes care of Chomper and protects him and the others from the big bad Sharptooth known as Redclaw (who even Chomper's parents fear).

Redclaw: He's a T-Rex...um..basically it's a dinosaur version of Scar.

Screech and Thud: The Velociraptor lacky's of Redclaw

Oh and a warning...there are 2 songs in every ep.

And I'd like to say that even tho I haven't seen the new movie yet. Guido's a cutie!!

You'll be hard pressed to find ANYONE that does'nt want to hurl an asteroid at those crappy characters..

There's few shows that rank alongside LBT as the most depised animation franchise of all time, it's that awful, a disgrace to the first movie's legacy, and an uneccersary money-pit that takes from animation and simply does'nt give back

[Jester]

Tell me that the original cast (Little Foot, Ducky, Cera, Spike and Petree) will still be there. I haven't watched much since the original (read:best) movie was made, but you can't have LBT with out those 5.

[ZariusTwo]

Yeah, they'll be in it, it's just there using the film's long history of building an already established mythology to add other characters

Weren't Sharpteeth always played as mindless killers?

[DrSpengler]

The sequels have been so bad I can't even bring myself to watch the original anymore.

I've never been a big Don Bluth fan, anyway. I actually found most of his movies to be more childish than Disney's stuff (Nimh and Titan AE being exceptions, of course).

And Land Before Time, American Tail and All Dog's Go to Heaven have spawned some of the worst franchises and television shows I've ever had the misfortune of seeing.

Yes with some exceptions:

Chomper is a nice sharp tooth because he was raised by Little Foot and the gang till his parents came for him. And Speaking of his parents. They're loving parents who don't appear to be mindless killers. They just think their son's choice of friends is odd.

Chomper's also the only T-rex type that's bi-lingual. He speaks the language of his own people and that of the plant eaters (which is basic english).

There's also been another type of meat eater, Strythiomimus. They were just odd balls.

Otherwise yes the meat eaters have been depicted as mindless killers.

The first 2 were good then went all downhill.

ugh.. I still have the original on tape. my favorite.

There's really nothing to say about this show, nothing is going to happen, nothing ever will happen, just a bunch of s*itty songs, and frequently reguritated "life lessons" probably already covered in the movies.

I hope the ending is dark.. the asterioid comes, destroys all the dinosaurs and an ice age is form.

land before time - the ice age

starring the bones of dinosaurs

Well they've actually dealt with winter in one movie. "The Big Freeze".

Over the years the movies have gotten some more adult or dark tones. Like when the great valley burned (they had to leave for a while to the Ocean aka Big Water) or the big freeze (Spike almost left with some more Spike tails) or when Little Foot confronted his father and met his foster brother.. or the last movie where Topsy and Tria fell back in love, much to the annoyance of Cera, who wasn't sure about having a step-mother.

The latest movie is aimed at the 'tween crowd apperantly as Petrie has some growing up to do (thankfully his thieving Uncle, Pterano, won't be in this one )

[Deathknight]

Honestly, how does this series keep surviving?

there u go.. that movie rocks.

[Roseangelo]

Somebody make this series DIE.

[Ra]

This series is like a soap opera for kids that has gotten way out of hand. Just lots and lots of crappy songs slapped together. Honestly, it's just a huge mess. And now there is a series.

Want to know how the dinosaurs really became extinct? *grabs a box of grenades*
