1988 Theatrical Release / Re: Tell Your Story About LBT
« on: October 05, 2018, 10:09:59 AM »
Well, here's mine:
I was born in 1998, so I'm a full decade removed from having been able to see it in the theaters. When I was a kid, I really loved dinosaurs (and I still do, actually). and I really wanted to see Jurassic Park, but my mother didn't feel that it was very age-appropriate (I was around 5 or 6 at the time, and I was sheltered from a lot of the more intense movies out there), and told me that there was another dinosaur movie that might be a little bit more age-appropriate called The Land Before Time, then we rented it from Netflix DVDs (back when that was a thing). I saw it and I really loved it, then we rented some of the sequels, and I saw up to LBT 6 before my interest in LBT subsided. I did stumble upon an LBT 4 DVD a few years ago, but sadly, I think I got rid of it not knowing I would get back into LBT
.
Fast forward to 2017: I'm browsing Netflix, and I stumble upon LBT 14. Reading the synopsis, I see that there was quite a bit that I missed (like Littlefoot having a father, and there being eight movies I hadn't seen), and that inspired me to get back into LBT. A little bit later in the year, as I'm getting ready to start my first year of college, I started binge-watching the movies, and the interest in LBT was back, and is likely here to stay forever. One little random note: I watched Great Longneck Migration for the very first time the day after the solar eclipse last August, not knowing that it was about all the longnecks going to a solar eclipse.
For the majority of the time I was binging LBT, I hadn't told anyone, and would've died from embarrassment had anyone found out, until I admitted to it on a camping trip I did as part of my college orientation, then I started being more outspoken about my love of LBT, and in fact, after I returned from that trip, I was watching the original and LBT 2 (even though I think the next movie in line at the time was LBT 11 or 12
) in the lobby of my dorm building, when someone came up, started watching with me, and we quickly became best friends over our mutual love of LBT. I forget exactly when I started watching the TV series in relation to the movies, but I remember watching it on Kisscartoon for a little bit before I found out that it was on YouTube.
When I was almost done with my LBT binge, I started looking for LBT fan sites, and I joined every semi-active one I could find, (including GOF, obviously ), although the only ones I've ever really been active on are GOF, TheLandBeforeTime.org, and the LBT wiki.
