December 5, 2007: How Many Sequels to ‘The Land Before Time’ Do We Need, Exactly?
I have written by far my stupidest article ever, “How Many Sequels to ‘The Land Before Time’ Do We Need, Exactly?” Whenever I entered a video store as an adolescent I used to always check which number “The Land Before Time” series was up to, and then I’d share a good chuckle with myself. I thought that chuckle would translate into a winning look at corporate excess, but the resulting article is nothing more than me swearing at a bunch of cartoon DVD covers. If you want to save yourself the trouble of reading this, the answer is 12. There are currently 12 sequels to The Land Before Time.

Well Done. What possessed you to write about the land before time?

Destro: The Land Before Time sequels intrigue me for some reason, even though I’ve never actually seen them. To be honest, a part of me would be heartbroken if they stopped making these sequels. Why stop at 13? We should start using them instead of years, like “I demand a raise! I’ve been working here since Journey to Big Water!” “I drive an Invasion of the Tinysauruses Honda Accord.” But which grammatical errors are you referring to? I’m sure you’re right, I just don’t want to read over my article.

Thank-you for ruining my childhood memories. These used to be my favourite movies. Now they mean nothing.
Though, you do rade a good point. I think they should have stopped at the 3rd one max. I’ve seen up to the great migration, the other 3 I did not know existed; and i’m glad, because they sound lame. (Along with the others, but coincidentally I still love them.) haha.

I love this, my friend still gets the new land before time movie from his grandma every year for christmas (she doesn’t realize he’s 21 now) and we have an annual “get drunk and make fun of the new land before time movie” night sometime between christmas and new years. They’re even worse than described in this article . . . we usually quit after 15 minutes because they’re wholly retarded.

I totally agree! I have never seen any of the sequels, and have refused to let children I have babysat for watch anything but the original.
My main issue. Ducky. Who voices Ducky in the sequels? The original little girl (Judith Barshi, RIP) died in 1989, and will be sorely missed, so how could anyone else compare?

Maybe you ought to concentrate your critique on the Disney movies instead as they impart even less of a moral message on kids. Besides, your crap is not even slightly amusing.

I liked the original Land Before Time as a kid. I still do. It reminds me of an age where parents weren’t such assholes and didn’t freak out over their kids watching some characters get hurt/killed. Sadly, like his other films, some assholes figured out a way to make a fortune off of marketing this to little 3-year old bitches and their psychologically-impaired parents. Now we have sing-a-longs and “gags” that caused an increase in adolescent suicides. They ruin all of Bluth’s films this way.
Can we please go back to the 80s, when cartoons were awesome and full of violence?

I totally agree with Phippo, even with the latest Disney movies. The reason WHY this series has run so long, is because of the morals, love, and overall goodness that it employs. I also can’t wait for another one, particularly I would like to see it tie in with the TV series, closing up the loose ends that it brings with it. …Hah, I hear the argument, “kids are stupid and will watch anything;” kids may be naive and trusting, but certainly not stupid. And if you think I am, well, all I can say is, I’m not a kid, I’m not stupid, and I certainly as hell will NOT watch “anything!” I think that 70 to 80 percent, maybe more, of all TV nowadays, is pure crap. This is one of the last few gems in a sea of sinking garbage that people are basically forced to watch. And, if you’d like to continue to argue with me further, I’ll back up Phippo all the way, and argue with you all the way to the depths of hell!

Oh, and BTW, VadeDarther, this type of stuff doesn’t cause an increase in teen suicides; it’s that stupid heavy metal crap, along with drugs, and processed food. Now old-school music, there’s some good gems. Miles Davis sure could play a tune… And Rock ‘n Roll back then, told interesting stories; nowadays, you have a bunch of morons screaming, sounding like they went on acid trips just as they were recording. It shouldn’t even be allowed. Death to heavy metal, death to horror movies, and death to evil.

But after that, it turned to “moral” drivel. And they seem to have killed off Ducky, Petri, and some of the other characters too.
I wonder when Littlefoot will pass on? Surely he should have aged a little bit by now..

Okay, Mr. Censorship. Tell me how your crusade goes. Defending your position to the death seems kind of difficult when your position is that anything you don’t like is “evil”.
The Land Before Time Sequels are nothing more than corporate cash-ins. That you’re loyal enough to the company making these to be their cash cow is respectable in a way, I guess.

Neptune & Phippo: Really? I’ll admit, I could eat a box of Triscuits and shit better movies than what Disney has nowadays, but the Land Before Time movies took a dive to that level around the first sequel.
P.S. I really doubt processed food causes teen suicides; I ate a lot of it and I’m pretty I didn’t succumb to the deadly teen suicide plague. But then again, I do watch horror movies, so who knows?

Blink, why don’t you take a good long think about what the phrase “Spelling Mistakes” mean. The only laugh i got out of this is that the publisher wasted his time writing this pathetic “review” of the sequels. If you don’t have anything good to say about The Land Before Time, then don’t say anything at all. If the characters grew up then the land before time would lose tens of thousands of viewers, because that’s one of the main things that makes these sequels so great. It would be hilarious if someone made a review of your reviews making a bad example out of them. Now there’s something to laugh at!

I’ll just put in my two cents here if anyone cares. I loved the first movie… maybe even the second and third but that’s when all movies need to stop. I think that’s all very clear to everyone that the sequels are simply made because it makes money and kids seem to enjoy them enough to make their parents buy the DVD for them. So let the babies have their bottles. That’s what most of them are anyway, just 3-7 (which I know technically aren’t babies but you know where I’m coming from). I think that your reviews are hilarious and I look forward to your next addition. I hope that people that do support the sequels, both for their pride and their children’s, don’t seriously take the rants of one used-to-be-fan like a slap in the face. I think that we all agree that the sequels unfortunately lack quite a bit of quality but it makes money for the employees, children enjoy it and enemies of the sequels get to enjoy making funny rants for all “anti-fans” to enjoy. I really don’t think that the end result is all that bad.

My favorite would have to be the 3rd one. gahhh man I really want to rent all the sequels that I haven’t seen now. thanks a lot. The movies are kind of brainwashing though….As a young kiddo about 4 or 5, I told my mom that I was going to change my name to Petrie when I grew up. hahaaa. At least I didn’t think I was Petrie like my brother thought he was Tommy, the White Power Ranger. Great childhood memories.

The thing I believe with Number 14 (which is confirmed as The Growing Sky Stone)…is that they finally kill off the dinosaurs! I know I know…that’s cruel…but…in the end, Disney movies DO kill off characters…it wouldn’t be surprising since naturally these characters all do have to die eventually (it is the Land Before Time after all). So it will probably rely upon an opening scene about seeing a giant object in the sky, days pass…songs are song, sad moments, the original Sharptooth comes back (I forget if it died or not…fell in a pond I believe…not sure if it was in the sequels) for one last epic showdown with a now grown up LittleFoot who apply is renamed…BigFoot…no relation to your mother. Then the meteor hits and everything’s all sad for the final final movie…then we have…THE SPIN-OFF SERIES, THE LAND AT THE BEGINNING OF TIME! With a bunch of mammals now…probably not like Ice Age just yet…but its sure to be made…

Well I bought the first 11 of them on VHS. I’ve seen 10 of them so far. Now Chapter 14 is coming. Anyway I watch a movie like that once and wait for the next otherwise it gets a bit redundant. Anyway I’d watch it not as a fan but more like a What The Heck sort of thing. I’m just collecting them to build the set up because if eventually I sell them off they’d be worth a lot of money together with all 14 or so movies collected together AND because I have the first 11 on VHS that makes it more valuable and rare as it’s a full set so if not to watch regularly it’s a hobby. Because with each released chapter the value goes up given they’ve been active for 20 years now. It makes sense to launch #14 on the big 2-0.

I don’t know why animators are creating these little movies where the characters sing those horrible songs. Just get on with the damn movie and stop fucking singing. Oh and I love how these little baby dinosaurs can some how make it through all these journeys and manage to some how not die in the process. We all know that if this were real they wouldn’t have lived passed the first movie. I want real violence not some little bastards winninng against “sharpteeth” by throwing fruit at them.

What I want to know, more than anything else, is this: Where do they get the money to continually concieve this crap? If America is smart (and it’s not), then the people will sign petitions to at least set Charles Grosvenor on some other animated project. Classic characters can only last so long. However, the classic LBT characters were only classic during the first movie. Now They habe been stereotyped into typically blande children’s show characters and the whole LBT name has been reduced to a Wee Sing franchise. Just like the intentionally sucking black plague that PBS and Nick Jr dumps, the LBT series shows us that the entertainment industry is only interested in money and making kids more stupid.

Comment threads don’t exactly breed sensibility. Posters come in various different archetypes, each one with its own delicious twist of flavour:
- The upset one that goes around finding things to be offended by, not realizing that if you have a thin skin you shouldn’t be on the internet, much less on a site that specializes in rants. Rants don’t tend to be structured like “I personally don’t like this but it’s just my opinion and I see where you’re coming from if you do.”
- The rabid one that will do anything for a laugh and usually isn’t very funny at all. Why are you looking at me like that?
- The congratulatory poster, that gives nothing but praise, hidden carefully in tirades of more praise… but doesn’t actually have a point.
- The fanboy (or fangirl, these are politically correct times after all), who wants nothing more than the site host’s babies and often resorts to extremely strange (and creepy) methods to convey this message. Thank the Nine Hells that this isn’t an image board.
- And finally the serious one that makes extremely relevant, but inanely boring comments that most people skip or pay no real attention to. If all posters were flavoured drinks, this one would be water. But we all need water every now and then, right?

Hmmm… I know anybody who stalks this thread (like me) will likely get agitated at my three comments in a row, but I just noticed the last sentence of the article: “If you’re a fan of the land before time series, KEEP AN EYE PEELED FOR THE LBT XIV” That doesn’t sound like an attack on fans of the series, unless it’s meant to be sarcastic…

GESH!!! The Land before Time was created for TODDLERS “not” ADULTS now if you really wanted to show your vast wisdom and expertise you could have been keeping a running commentary on the American Investment Bankers that would have really kept you busy. One reason why the American economy is in a mess because people like you keep so many mired in superficial muck. ps. you could take a few lessons from the characters in the series.

Oh, yes. The reason the American economy is messed up is because people like Mr. Karjala blog about the Land Before Time series in a derogatory fashion. Do I get points for correctly guessing that you’re not involved in economics in any way? Also, talking about the economy does not serve to make your argument appear more intelligent, you know. It was just rediculously out of context. I’m gonna take a shot in the dark and assume you’ve just finished watching Zeitgiest and wanted to appear like an individual who’s educated on the subject. A pretty desperate attempt to make complete strangers assume you’re an intellectual, really. Just so you know… you’ve totally failed. I’m pretty sure you cry yourself to sleep at night.

Also, I think it’s pretty interesting that there was such a huge gap between the original and the first sequel – six years. What the fuck were those people doing? Were they trying to think of better ideas and came back to some fucked up dinosaurs, or did they spend all that time producing the first sequel?
Honestly, I was surprised that there are only 13 movies. I thought it was up to at least twenty.

Yeah the sequels are imcomparably different from the original – in visual style, in atmostphere and everyting. They’re made by entirely different writers and crew.
I guess the basic setting was just a too good idea to let it go. It’s a chance of creating a world totally separate from ours, that also has its dangers but they’re all masterable and in the end everyone get’s to live together happily. That’s not even too far away from the idea of the first movie.
They had to reduce the drama, since the frist movie had big trouble being released for +6 children. And honestly who would have watched the sequels if they were like the first.
It’s not too bad, just different.

Well I couldn’t bring myself to laugh at the article but that’s mainly because of the memories the series brings to me. My grandma used to buy these for me when I just a wee lad and I loved them. She died back in 99 though and I’ve been buying the movies as a memory ever since. I still like them although they are not the best anymore. Of course I’m not a toddler either. But I still enjoyed all of them. And I don’t mind you all who don’t like them but to those saying that movies should be stopped. Why? Are you planning on watching them? I think not so just don’t watch the movies and I’ll continue buying the movies and preserving my memories until the series ends.

I know I’m wasting my time commenting of this, but I can’t help it. I love the series; I always have. I was introduced to it probably about eleven years ago. I’m now fifteen. For someone who believes that these movies are abominations and that they are a ‘fantastic voyage into atheism,’ you like to use a multitude of curse words and think killing kid dinosaurs from a child series would help out a great deal.
What I can’t understand, though, is the fact that you are actually attacking a series for kids. If you don’t like the series, ignore it! Seriously? You’re ridiculous.
And one last thing, I haven’t seen the thirteenth yet, but I’m sure it’s awesome. Yet you seem to think it’s awful and that autism is idiocy. Individuals with autism do not deserve to be bashed on like so.

I’d take this article a bit more seriously if it wasn’t as immature and childish as these movies are. You probably wrote this for your own lulz, not because you actually wanted to give an honest opinion or share some good insight with the world.
To be honest, I don’t get why people complain a company is, *gasp!*, doing its best to make money. Newsflash: that’s what companies do. LEGO makes new sets each year, franchises get sequels each year, anime get filler episodes like there’s no tomorrow and so on. That’s the way the world works. Some like it, some don’t. Those who don’t can either defend themselves in a mature way, and then there are those, like the one who wrote this, who can’t and needs to resort to using “shit” and “hope they kill them!” and bad humour to get their point across. Bravo!

I am a GIGANTIC fan of the original movie, all of the sequels, and the tv series ( yep, they even have a TV series with, like, 15-20 episodes so far. And that’s just the season one of the telivision series!). I do have to give you some positive comments on how funny your article was, especially when Ducky was pointing on the cover of The Great Longneck Migration. However, you should still be disappointed in yourself, for ridiculing a wonderful series, and me, a man planning to be a palaeontologist someday, and a big fan of The Land Before Time.

[Sorry for any grammar mistakes, but English is not my mother tongue!]
Normally I’m a horror and splatter movie fan and I don’t watch cartoons or something else. But “The Land Before Time” is a exception, because I watched it in my childhood, so I decided a few weeks ago to watch ALL the 13 movies of “The Land Before Time” AND the cartoon series with 26 episodes.
Your article is very funny, I lol’d hard (even with the language barrier, my first language is German), but I must say that I have another opinion. The first film is still great, but the sequels are good, too. They aren’t as good as the first film, but they’re okay for me. They are colorful and funny. Same thing for the cartoon series (but I must admit that the quality of the drawings are lower than in the previous 13 movies). It’s really cool to see the little dinosaurs and how they grow up with new adventures. Yeah, maybe the producers of the sequels just want to make money, but the movies are still good and I hope that they are going to make “The Land Before Time XIV” and/or the second season of the cartoon series!
That’s my opinion. (That was hard to type in English!)

Everyone who said they found this by searching for The Land Before Time admitted that they were fans. The rest of us are fans of Eric Karjala, and found this article, funnily enough, by browsing the ‘article’ section. Would you like me to simplify this further so you can understand it completely?
PS. He doesn’t mention watching them, and all the information about the movies that he uses could have easily been lifted from the covers. However, Eric admits that the original movie was one of his most beloved childhood films, so chances are that if he did watch one or more of the sequels, it’s more than likely because he was hoping to relive some of the charm of the original movie. After bathing in the fermented juices of commercial whoring that seep from the seams of these blatant attempts to cash in on a popular name, he decided to write the article.
It would also be logical to say that after discovering the first few sequels and being embittered by them, he decided to find out how many there were exactly for the sake of the article, because it would add weight to his observation of there being way too many.
If you don’t think the number of sequels is incredibly ridiculous, then chances are it’s because you’re one of the smiling-cartoon-consuming retarded kids that these films are aimed at. If not, then you have the same mindset trapped inside the body of an adult, which could explain why you couldn’t even think of a fucking name to include with your post.

Have you even seen these movies? It seems like you’re just making crap up as you go.
You’re entitled to your own opinion and if you dont like the movies, its cool, but seriously? Maybe they ruined YOUR childhood for some odd fear of dinosaurs or something but not other kids. They’re going to keep making sequels as long as kids keep watching. If you’re going to write a review, you should at least know what you’re talking about.

I lost my faith in humanity years ago, but some of these recent comments just burned all evidence of its previous existence. My heart literally twitches with pity at the level of sensitivity some people have… especially when they then have the nerve to tell ERIC to grow up. Bravo guys. Irony, intellect, humour… it’s all lost on you. For all your sakes, I hope ignorance truly is bliss.

Speaking of irony, mentioning my previous faith in humanity is in fact evidence of its existence, which contradicts my statement about all of it being destroyed. Ah, sweet paradox.

I think the sequals are crap, but i want to know what happens to them. is that sad? i think they need one last one that reunites old friends (Ali, Chopper) and maybe tells the story behind Spike’s parents, and then they end it with an epilogue of them grown up with lives of thier own. I just want it to end!

Well, the movies are for kids, do you expect them to have a super deep compelling story? Or to have some form of violence? Maybe back in the 70s and 80s when parents didn’t get so butthurt about the tiniest little thing. Unfortunately, they find it easier to just blame the media for everything instead of taking responsibility.
As for the review itself, I can’t find this funny. The series itself has a deeper meaning to me beyond just the movies themselves. My grandmother used to buy these for me every Christmas when I was growing up. After she died, I continued to buy the DVDs, partially as a symbol of her memory. But also because I still liked them. Even as a 21 year old, I still like them.
It doesn’t have the deepest stories or the most interesting plots. But, it does have the adventure that gives me the feel of being a child again. If it wasn’t for my grandma, I probably would have only watched a couple of them. But, she has made the movies more special to me.
So, I can’t really laugh at this. I love the movies. Had it not been for my grandma though, I probably would have found it a little more humorous.

I suggest they should release a new sequel film called ‘The Land before Time XIV: The Quest to Sparkling Forest’. It should be released to DVD and Blu-Ray in August 19, 2011. It should star Tara Charendoff as Littlefoot (Billy Batson’s voice from ‘Batman: the Brave and the Bold’), Anndi McAfee as Cera (voice),
Aria Curzon as Ducky (voice, Rob Paulsen as Spike and the Spiketail Leader (voices), Jeff Bennett as Petrie, Mutt and Doc (voices), Sandy Fox and Nancy Cartwright as Dinah & Dana (voices), Nancy Cartwright also as Chomper (Chuckie’s voice from ‘All Grown Up’), Meghan Strange as Ruby (voice) and Tricia (baby girl sound effect voices), Danny Cooksey as Kaleb (Milo’s voice from ‘Pepper Ann’), Dakota Fanning as Gladys (her own voice), Alyson Stoner as Tiffany (Isabella’s voice from ‘Phineas and Ferb’), Miriam Flynn as Grandma Longneck (voice), Michael Gambon as Grandpa Longneck (new and improved replacement voice), Frank Welker as Crusher (spooky sharptooth sound effect voices), Juliana Hansen as Ali (voice), John Ingle as Topsy (voice), Camryn Manheim as Tria (voice), Cree Summer Francks as Tippy (voice), Susan Krebs as Tippy’s Mother (voice), Jessica Walter as the Old 1 (voice)and Robert Guillaume as Mr. Thicknose(voice). The DVD and Blu-Ray should have a lot of special features including Behind the Scenes Documentary, Littlefoot’s Playhouse, Studio Commentaries with Don Bluth and Charles Grosvenor, Characters commentary with Littlefoot, Cera, Ducky, Petrie, Chomper, Ruby, Kaleb, Gladys, Tiffany, Dinah and Dana, Deleted Scenes, Digital Bloopers, Outtakes and Bloopers Reel, Meet the voice portrayers, ‘The Land before Time XIV: The Quest to Sparkling Forest’ McDonalds Happy Meal Toy Commercial (2011), Sing Along Karaoke Disco Songs and Video Game Trailer: ‘The Land before Time the Search for the Lost Rainbow Gems’, which should be released for Nintendo Wii, Nintendo DS, Nintendo 3DS, PSP, PS3, XBox 360 and PC CD Rom.

Now you see stupid violence and porn on t.v and in almost every movie, there’s kissing! what do little kids think of that!Why dont’t you haters e-mail this article to Don Bluth, huh? im pretty sure he would tell you why its decent!- By the way I’m 12!!!

“Like you said, all 13 are classics and if they don’t see it, then they’re just immature for making fun.”
I mean, the first and second (I think? I don’t recall it as clearly) were okay, but I can’t believe they whored the series out to 13 movies. (I didn’t know there were more after the first two) I can’t believe 18-year-olds are calling people immature for not liking a children’s series. Moving on? Who needs that? : P
