The Land Before Time 14: Journey of the Brave

[FPLOON]

Huh... I have been meaning to binge-watch through all of the LBT sequels... Then again, I just realized that the "LBT" acronym is missing a "G" in it...

Anyway, it there any news of Cartoon Network re-showing all of the movies leading up to the 14th? Now, that would be nostalgasmic in my opinion...

There are two equally unbelievable explanations here. The first is that there's some rabid Land Before Time fandom who have been buying LBT movies from their childhood into adulthood.

In case you need more convincing, here's the forum where we LBT Fans hang out.

Yep! We exist!

Surprised that nobody has yet to mention the fate of Ducky up to this point. It's been 13 films since and that's always the thing that sticks out about The Land Before Time. Never watched them, was too old for it when it was new. Do they get feathers in this one?

I feel a little guilty because unlike a lot of people here, I watched most of the sequels growing up, but have only ever seen bits and pieces of the original movie.

Please tell me the asteroid finally hits in this one. Please.

I mean dear god. Did they just fart a new one to leach on the the dino popularity surge brought up by Jurassic World?

Snippity snap

Good god, re-watching that was really sad! :c

We're at 14 now? Christ... Even as a kid the first was the only one I liked a lot. Oh well

*Googles*
The original Land Before Time was in 88.
The franchise is 27 years old.
Who are they making this movie for?

Considering the last one was eight years ago, I'm guessing for the people who grew up watching it. The trailer doesn't look like it is making concessions for a new audience.

Considering how bad the majority of Land Before Time sequels were (and that last movie was just atrocious), I'm seriously hoping this doesn't turn out badly. (Crosses fingers)

Okay, I've heard that before, and I wanna ask you (and anybody else who can answer)... Why? I haven't seen it myself, and all I know is that it's got the usual staples of the sequels... That is, okay songs and some new tradition that we're supposed to accept was always a thing (in this case, the Wisdoms).

What makes this one especially bad?

EDIT: While I might diss the songs, I'll defend "The Lone Dinosaur" to my last breath.

Okay, I confess I haven't seen it either, having long since grown out of the series. I have, however, seen the review Marzgurl did (and I recommend the series of reviews she did on the movies if you want to see how far the series has fallen), but compared to the first movie, it's so damn childish! And while the "Wisdoms" angle isn't bad (God knows these kids need some safety tips after all they've been through, though why any of their guardians hasn't taught them these Wisdoms by now is anyone's guess.) the way Littlefoot starts acting like a know-it-all doesn't help. And the new characters in this movie are pretty annoying...

OT: I want to believe this new movie will be good, but looking back, it's hard to get excited...

I watched the MarzGurl reviews too, and while XIII definitely doesn't seem good, the other ones just don't seem much better either.

The problem with those movies is that they became kiddified to pander to children, something I despise. I'm starting to have my doubts about this new movie...

Wait.. Your problem with a movie series for kids is that they try to appeal to kids?

Er... I meant I don't like movies for kids that pander exclusively to kids. I mean, look at the first movie, and how dark yet beautiful it was. Then compare it to all the sequels. Sorry if I wasn't clear before.
