Land Before Time

[Billy Score]

I saw this movie as a child and it really stuck with me, it was a movie i saw over and over again. The sequels were terrible but i admit i saw them until i realized how ZOG/childish they were. I found out recently that the voice of Ducky from the first film actually was a hungarian immigrant killed by her drunken father along with her mother. He then burned down the house/killed himself. This saddened me to a degree. Anyone else have this first film touch their childhoods?

I remember it vaguely, I loved it myself but I cant remember much about it. I would like to see it again but I dont think I'd like to waste my time doing so if it will ruin the memory.

I enjoyed it as well. Thats unfortunate about the girl.

What exactly was ZOG about this film, or were you only referring to the sequels.

The sequels, chief. The first was a masterpiece of animated film. It is one of the few modern films for children that i can still watch without cringing and its message still touches one's heart.

It was one of my favourite movies as a kid. I used to have these little stick-on things of the characters. I think I got them from Pizza Hut :p

I haven't seen the movie since I was a child and can't remember much about it...other than some dinosaurs finding a new place to live after persevering through some kind of prehistoric desert??

I watched it as a child, wasn't impressed by it.

I prefer old Disney films myself - Snow White still moves me to tears.

I used to watch LBT and "The Brave Little Toaster" all the time.

Snow white is a masterpiece, a timeless classic if i've ever seen one. the actual cartoons are artwork up there, superior to anything and everything created today by far. There was life in those characters. Snow white is one of my favorite disney film.

You have to compare land before time to all the other filth that has been released, animated films,etc. Perhaps its just so ingrained in my memory and had such a large part of my childhood.

Ducky from the first film actually was a hungarian immigrant killed by her drunken father along with her mother. He then burned down the house/killed himself.Link? I remember that character, that had cute voice, yes I can recall now some of the sentences the character uttered, in introducing herself to the bat (Dmitri?).

Anyone else have this first film touch their childhoods?Yes. I believe I was eight years old when my mother bought as a gift to my sister The Land Before Time at McDonald's; I got Back the Future. Both of these films, for some reason, were being sold at McDonald's at the time.

Judith Barsi also did "All Dogs go to Heaven." Remember that one?

Land Before Time was produced by Don Bluth, (http://www.donbluth.com)who also made the cool "Dragon's Lair" video games that I remember playing on my old Amiga.

I saw it but on vaguely remember it. Same goes for that ferngully thing. None stuck like Land before Time.

And ix- burger king was the one selling things for Land before time. I have the toys still probably. :D It was because i believe one of the new land before times was coming out on tape.

Not just Burger King, also McDonald's. I know this because in the town I lived in at the time, there was no Burger King. I have never eaten at a Burger King in my entire life.

Really horrible idea for a children's movie, if you think about it.

I never saw the movie until I was a little older, and I remember I actually enjoyed the first land before time. I remember it mostly for the somewhat disturbing voice of the young diplodocus calling for his mother after she died from a wound she received during a battle with the Tyrannosaurus-rex or allosaurus (whatever it was). It was a fairly decent movie along the lines of children's videos; as a child I was more into folk stories than video tapes though.

[Eisenhans]

I remember that movie but I don't remember liking it. I think that as a child I only appreciated the classic disney movies.

It was a confused concept, indeed.
