Universal Pictures plans for an extended 20th anniversary edition theatrical re-release of The Land Before Time with never-before-seen footage in 2008. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.21.37.49 (talk • contribs)

Do you have a source for this information? tregoweth 00:14, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

What is up with anons readding all those copyvios and stuff about excess songs and morality? Is it time to semi-protect the page? CanadianCaesar The Republic Restored 21:22, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

It will never go back to theaters. All the sequels have been on VHS/DVD only -24.92.41.95 02:19, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

Land Before Time

Isn't there another sequel for Land Before Time where they all go to a huge ocean and get stuck on an island there, and finally get off of it using a log? Yes there is. They get menaced by a shark (sharptooth that swims) and get stranded on an island after high tide hides the land bridge. Its only a brief segment though. The bulk of the movie is geared toward surving on an island stranded with chomper's parents, a pair of full grown T-Rexes. I think it was #5. The mysterious island or something --Darkling235 01:50, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

Neutrality?

The negative quote from rotten tomatoes towards the amount fo sequels brings up the question of Neutrality. Is that even neceassary at all? Claude 07:25, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

I think it's a reference for a fact that indeed reflects the common discussion, that people dislike the sequels. Besides, you should see what the quote replaced! CanadianCaesar The Republic Restored 19:21, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

A website that dislikes the sequels isn't any kind of informative fact. Jumping the shark is all opinion too. It leaves a generally negative opinion in the article towards the sequels.Claude 02:10, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

YouTube

• The Pizza Hut commercial (first four minutes of the film included) was shown online. Sonofabeachey sent "This is awesome and brings back so many memories!", LemonKitty sent "Awww...no Littlefoot hatching?", and RidgeShark sent "Nope. One reason why I put the video up was to honor Judith Barsi's birthday is some small way. She voiced Ducky - so I ended it with Ducky. I tell ya though, I'd upload the whole movie if I could!". Well, if you want to upload the whole movie, you've got to upload the widescreen version. I haven't seen the widescreen version because this film was released four years before I was born.
  • I'm sorry, but there isn't a widescreen version anywhere at the moment. Universal are too busy milking the cash cow on the sequels to give the original a chance for a proper release. The thing is, in my opinion, they don't care. Movingimage 16:20, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

Possible merge

It has been sugested that all the characters are merged with The Land Before Time article itself. Why not, instead of that (since they appeared in countless sequels beside the first) make a List of The Land Before Time characters like the List of minor Star Wars characters?

Yeah, and don't forget a List of The Land Before Time voice actors, too.

Trivia

I was reading this article, and got down to trivia. I noticed that one part, takling about the similarities between this and Dinosaur by Disney, and immediately remembered some. However, I also want to know if thes should be included, so that people not as familiar with either Dinoasur or this film can get an idea of what scenes/plot ideas from the film they have viewed are similar to scenes/plot ideas from the other.--~~Comic Master~~

The Great Valley as an interpretation of heaven

Quite a few times this rumour has cropped up on this article. My belief is this rumour is original research because there is no evidence from other sources to back this up. The great article on cataroo.com, also an out-of-print book, The Animated Films of Don Bluth, has no mention of the dinosaurs dying and going to heaven, or "The Great Valley". If the rumour is true, the author would include it. So far, I've seen no proof. Movingimage 20:49, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

Inaccuracies section

Is that section really necessary for a children's cartoon about troubled dinosaurs? Besides it left out the most glaring inaccuracy of all; "Dinosaurs don't talk" --Generalmiaow 21:23, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

That's TOO nitpicky, you! Anyways, we don't want people to take movies seriously! You think everyone knows this is just a cartoon? Sure they do, but do they know it's inaccurate? Maybe some people may take it seriously! Dora Nichov 09:13, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
