The Mysterious Island for me, because I owned it on VHS and watched it the most. But it's also genuinely a pretty good sequel with a fun T-Rex battle towards the end.
Love that one. The subtitles of Chomper's parents fricking kill me every time.
Trying to find a webm of it
I'll help you out.
>FRIENDS
>FOR DINNER
Yeah
>that boy ain't right
God can you imagine a T. rex who's an expert in propane and propane accessories.
Utterly terrifying.
>Chomper's a veg*n T-Rex
>He's a lil homosexual confirmed
Man I remember watching those movies when I was a kid, I watched almost them all but my fave is the island one.
That's for his friends, he still eats meat
You think it's possible T. Rex transported their young inside their mouths like crocodiles?
According to official novelization of the first movie, the sharptooth that tried to kill Littlefoot and co. was known as a psychopath among the other sharpteeth.
Huh, were there dinosaur equivalents of rogue elephants?
i mean its not like sharptooth were carnivores
Well yeah, but it makes it a point that he was apparently overly sadistic and petty. That him going for the kids was not even hunger or survival.
Whenever the original film aired on TV it was always pretty hilarious how different the atmosphere and art direction was.
Yeah the first movie is nothing like the sequels. It was from an era when kids movie wasn't synonymous with saccharine.
Still mad about all that cut footage.
I always thought there was something weird about the ending.
wait how much actual footage was cut from the film
The figure I've always seen was eleven minutes' worth. It's why the original film has inconsistencies and odd event flow at parts, such as how, when Littlefoot is saying finding the Great Valley's too hard, you can see the boulder they just used to kill Sharptooth is still in its original place.
You don't suppose it's still on film somewhere? The Land Before Time was my favorite movie as a little kid, I loved the dark atmosphere and color palettes.
>You don't suppose it's still on film somewhere?
The lost footage is for the most part either locked in a vault where no one can get it, or long been destroyed. I think there are a few clips on YouTube of some cut segments, but not to the extent that All Dogs Go to Heaven got.
what happened with that movie?
How much was taken out of All Dogs? I thought they just shortened the hell scene and turned the tommy gun into some ray gun
I was actually referring to the Hell scene. It's the only fully cut content I'm aware of, but I'll also admit that I haven't looked very much into it.
Charlie's nightmare of Hell was originally longer.
It was also originally intended for the gun that Scarface uses to be a realistic machine gun rather than a laser gun. While the Hell sequence was likely shortened due to how frightening it would be for kids, the change to the gun was probably done to tone down the violence in light of Judi Barsi's murder.
Was a huge fan of the first movie and never watched the sequels for years. Was fricking surprised that the sequels were Disney shit with singing and upbeat stories about friendship.
>upbeat stories about friendship
I mean, kind of. That moreso describes the later sequels. Friendship was definitely a common theme but that was kind of part of the first movie too. Sequels 2-5 at the very least still had some stakes and decent conflict and shit to them
>Binge-watched the entire series about a month or so ago
>Get to the last movie
>They actually wrote a song where they all sing about being "hot and stinky."
>mfw
What in the world were they thinking?
Still not as bad as the fricking yellow bellies. Holy shit I have never wanted to murder a fictional character so bad.
>Land Before Time
Land before time XX: The mysterious fire water
Mysterious Island, creepy sea creatures always drew me in, along with the pretty plesiosaur lady (or was she an elasmosaur?)
Elasmosaur, going by her name "Elsie."
>pretty plesiosaur lady
Also, good taste.
Remember when she told Littlefoot his grandpa was hot?
Been too long since i watched any of the lbt movies so i didn't even remember hearing her name, thanks.
I kinda remember that though.
First one. The rest were mostly shit
Same
God I miss these movies, there should be a sequel where they’re adults that goes back to that tone the original had. But that’s never going to happen.
The closest thing I can think of to that is Primal. But I don’t think TLBT needs to be that graphic.
FRICK LONGNECKS
YEAH FRICK THEM IN THEIR WET CLOACAS
Can I talk about the one think that has bother since I was a kid: why is her head a different color than her body!? It pisses me off
For me it's the original movie followed by the first one that had Chomper
>followed by the first one that had Chomper
That's the second film.
Which of course is okay because bugs and clams aren't sentient and can't talk, well besides when they could like that episode of the TV show with the crabs.
She went extinct by shotgun to the face
I don't remember, did they ever both explaining how in the frick Chomper survived living with a bunch of frickin' vegans?
He ate bugs and clams
Interesting, I wonder how realistically possible that would have been.
It's a lightly fantastical mesozoic
There's probably some huge frickin' bugs
AT his size, not that unrealistic, but he'll have to up size in prey as he grows. If nothing else, he'll have to eventually target smaller predators.
This is explored really well in the Seven Hunters fanfic
i am now aware they made more
What fricking rock have you been under?
No, under what rock on what fricking planet?
the future?
i have seen zero ads for the sequels.
I simply find it difficult to believe unless you were born literally a handful of years ago and only discovered the first movie, like, yesterday
you might have full vha, dvd and blu rays and probably virtual copies of everything but the rest of us.
Black person they used to advertise the new land before time movies fricking CONSTANTLY on just about every channel you could think of that a kid might watch, and cartoon network used to play them all the fricking time. If you genuinely didn't know there were sequels, then you can't have been born any earlier than like 2005.
>you could think of that a kid might watch
your anger coupled with answering the problem is weird
>cartoon thread on a cartoon board
>HURR I DIDN'T SEE YOUR CARTOON COMMERCIALS BECAUSE I DON'T WATCH CARTOON CHANNELS
Did you get lost or are you just moronic?
i want you two to go through 15 years of Cinemaphile threads and find out how many lb4t threads there were
then factor in how often i come here
then factor in my own algorithms
then come back to me with an accurate % chance i would know
im sorry i didnt know things that you knew about that you thought everyone knew about
nobody is trying to imply you would have learned about them here you moron, we're saying if you WATCH CARTOONS and you were alive while these things were being made, it's insanely unlikely that you would not have heard of them.
Go be a moronic zoomer somewhere else.
zoomers are in their 20-30s by now, why dont you know about this you stupid fricking moron? i know about it you should too. god what a fricking tard
The oldest zoomers are 24, the youngest are like 11. I'm gonna venture a guess you're somewhere closer to the latter.
haha no
i bet you dont even know most milleniels are in their late 30s and late 40s
google motherfricker. stop reverse strawmanning things you adhomed little b***h
(You moron)
low effort, apply yourself
>milleniels[sic] are in their late 40's
Not only do you not know how to spell "millennial," but the Pew Research Center defines millennials as being born between 1981-1986, which means the oldest millennial would be 42, hardly "late 40's." This isn't even accounting for micro-generations like the Oregon Trail generation. Why don't YOU google like what you ask others to do, and while you're there, google "strawman," because being called 11 years old isn't a strawman argument.
i bet you went through at least 4 sites that had info you didnt agree with before posting. cherry picker
Nah, just went to Wikipedia to confirm the dates. Took 2 seconds.
When you google a term like millennials, it literally pops up the dictionary definition as the first search result: "a person born between the early 1980s and the late 1990s." Even if they were born in 1980, that's still 43; in no world do you round <5 as "late" anything.
>i bet you dont even know most milleniels are in their late 30s and late 40s
Not that guy, but millennials are from the year 1981 to 1996, so literally none of them would be in their late 40s. The youngest would be 27.
>zoomers are in their 20-30s
>zoomers in their 30s
LMAO
anon we been making zoomer jokes for over 10 years. time passes. im sorry you realized you got old from this post.
see
im see no citations or even a screenshot proving anything.
burden is on you bro
I am not going to google it for you kid
that just means you didnt google it either
they were those ages 10 years ago
>source: my ass
better than your dude just trust me post from a minute ago
some proof on your end woulda ended this like an hour ago
>we
you weren't alive 10 years ago
Bro I'm just saying that contrary to what
says the series has a pretty wide breadth and it's one thing for someone completely foreign to the franchise to be unaware, but that if you've seen one it becomes exponentially more likely that you'd at least hear of more, even if just in discussions of people shocked that there's as many sequels as there are
Most of the time whenever I hear people bringing up Land Before Time's sequels it's "I can't believe there's this many sequels to the fricking dinosaur movie", nobody gives a shit about this franchise.
I don't think I've ever watched anything beyond the first film, in doing research I've also learned there was apparently a TV show on Cartoon Network in the late 2000s and I have no memory of it ever airing.
?si=rtRjRKHrxsUSViiG
it has some good episodes, Ducky becomes Gollum in one
Or the one Chomper dreeams he is raped by a demon longneck
It's weird that a franchise this big has no lasting cultural impact
There's a Land Before Time with aliens? Did the series really go that far off the rails?
Yes.
Aliens and dinosaurs? I would've eaten that shit up as a kid, unfortunately around that time my family moved to another state and we lost our Columbia house subscription.
It's not stated outright, but it's pretty in your face that the Rainbow Faces as they're called are actually aliens visiting the planet, trying to get the dinosaurs to think more.
That one is honestly among the better sequels.
So how will people look back on these in 5 years when showing them to their kids and the kids ask why they're all naked and missing feathers?
says the guy who does not know about addons that apply (You)s to single arrows and ats
What is the best available quality version of the original?
You can try this.

Justice for Pterano
Where did this come from?
A few cells and such have made it into the public
Sadly I wanna say most of the physical copies of such production materials went up in a fire or similar such
And even if not, it's been what, 40+ years? It's best to just accept that some things are always gonna be relegated to basically hearsay
>1988
Huh, I thought it came out in the mid to late 90s
95/97
Go figure.
First was the best. Sequels 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, and 10 were pretty great, while obviously not on the same level.
My favorite would probably have to be 4, Journey Through the Mists. It's got such a cool aesthetic
Stellar
it's sad to see how most of don bluth movies (and disney) weren't scared to show a bit of crude reality about ealy life to children only to get sanotized heavily in their sequels. who or why was agreed in unison to dumb down these movies?
>So uh, turns out, Apatosaurus and Stegosaurus where extinct when T-rexes existed. The frick are me and Spike doing here?
Were you not fricking paying attention? Time has no power here you longneck b***h
>LITTLEFOOT LOOK
Hey what's that one movie about that one flyer who led an entire herd to die?
Movie 7, The Stone of Cold Fire
>the kentasaurus, torosaurus and ankylosaurus couldn't take out three raptors
>YEP YEP YEP
How was the movie where they introduce a female kid longneck? I remember seeing the trailer for that one on a VHS I watched a lot.
That's my personal favorite of the sequels, it's got a really cool adventurous vibe.
Littlefoot's dad is Jack Bauer
> 1 - The Land Before Time
Great (possibly my top favorite animated film)
> 2 - The Great Valley Adventure
Good
> 3 - Great Giving
Weak to Ok / Meh (saved by tons of raptors in the final act)
> 4 - Journey through the mist
Good to Very Good
> 5 - Mysterious Island
Good
> 6 - Saurus Rock
Decent to Good
> 7 - Stone of Cold Fire
Decent to Good
That's all I've seen.
May as well provide some thoughts on the rest.
>8 - The Big Freeze
Decent. Provides some focus on Spike and Ducky’s relationship but that’s about it.
>9 - The Journey to Big Water
Just one big escort mission.
>10 - The Great Longneck Migration
Easily the best of the latter half of the movies, though that’s not a high bar to clear. Finally gives us Littlefoot’s dad and provides a pretty decent fight scene at the end on multiple fronts.
>11 - Invasion of the Tinysauruses
One of the worst movies, don’t know why it exists.
>12 - The Great Day of the Flyers
Depends on how you feel about Petrie
>13 - The Wisdom of Friends
Absolutely terrible with some of the most braindead characters ever introduced to media. Thankfully both this and 11 seem to have been completely ignored by Universal as even the TV series basically pretends they don’t exist.
>14 - Journey of the Brave
A decent film all-around. Watching the series is recommended since viewers will likely be confused otherwise about why Chomper is suddenly back and who Ruby is.
>Mine's gotta be the one with the aliens.
"Yeah it's what we thought. They're gonna be a spacefaring race someday. Send the rock."
Probably Mysterious Island.
It was objectively garbage by that point, but a combination of Spike talking and the return of chomper was great.
You’ve combined two movies. Spike talking was in the fourth movie, not Mysterious Island.
Oh.
In that case, now that I think about it, I think I actually hated Mysterious Island.
Why bad?
Does anyone have the reaction image of little foot screaming "FRICK"?
I tried googling it, but searching for "Land Before Time", "Little Foot", and "Frick" brings up... terrible terrible things.
