Yes I noticed star wars episode 7 copyed a lot from the past too.
Yeah and it won't be the first time the sequels have been  unoriginal and copyed stuff from other films.

E.G. the 13th movie had a scene were they thought they fond berry valley but it wasn't. Just like how in the first movie they thought they found the great valley only for it to turn out not to be.
Yeah I remember Marzgurl mentioned that in her epic review of 13.

Just took a look at the sales now on the Walmart site: right now LBT 14 is on the second page out of thirteen in terms of best-selling pre-order movies, and is currently in 14th place for February releases.

😬 I'm really nervous for LBT, if 14 doesn't do well this is the official end.

Not sure, but since it does have slightly more pre-orders than The Lion Guard: Return of the Roar at Walmart, which caught me by surprise, as well as having more sales so far than several new Barbie, Thomas, Lego, and Scooby Doo TV shows/movies on preorder, so it looks like at least it's holding its own in relation to other longtime franchises, and being on the second page out of thirteen seems pretty good. :)littlefoot

Of course, it is a Walmart exclusive now while most of the others aren't, but also keep in mind that a lot of parents who'll ultimately buy this for their kids probably have no idea that this movie is coming out, and maybe many parents might buy it as an impulse buy when going out to Walmart. Based off what worked with Great Day of the Flyers, I imagine that Walmart will have the exclusive rights to the movie for a few months (which probably gave Universal some profit right there) before the other retailers can start selling it. It still is not even on the Amazon's coming soon section, nor on Target, Best Buy, etc. website, which my guess is it's probably part of the deal they made with Walmart.

Plus, again, there are still quite a few people who have no idea this movie is even coming out, and many are just finding out, as seen from some fairly recent comments on the Facebook and YouTube page:

"Omg is this still going on! what have I missed!!"
"There's going to be a new movie?"
"I didn't think they would make another Land Before Time movie. I can't wait to see it!"
"YES! OH MY GOODNESS YES! MY CHILDHOOD IS BACK!"



And for one really encouraging sign, look how much traffic the LBT 14 trailer on Reba's Facebook page has, along with lots of Reba fans eager to share it with their children/grandchildren in the comments. So there might be a bunch of new buyers there. :D . If each like on Reba's video buys LBT 14, that's probably almost $200,000 right there.  ^^spike

It might get some good sales. How is the bluray version of the first movie?

With Jurassic World, dinosaurs are cool again, and that might increase the sales. It's all a good marketing strategy. I believe that even if LBT XIV flops, they might try again when JW 2 comes out, maybe with a TV series or with a reboot.

But let's hope it won't come to that, and that LBT XIV will be successful (:

I hope this link works..
Anyway I fond this  shot of Topsy from LBT 14 on the LBT Facebook page. And looks as ugly as ever. Personally I hope his screen time is brief. The less of that old ceratopian git the better for me as he's my least favourite character.

Looks like his usual self to me (which isn't saying much). The link works but it's mobile, the link for the normal facebook page is this:

Topsy on FB

It's good to see there are a lot of likes and comments about LBT XIV.

And then there are those who are complaining big time and saying the franchise should've been dead long ago. LOL. They DO realize they don't have to buy this movie, right?

There will always be haters. I do agree that if I was only geting to know TLBT today and learned that there is a total of 13 sequels and a TV series I would slowly walk away. There aren't that many franchises that can survive after a couple of sequels, and that's mostly because the quality of the plot tends to go down considerably.

Still, us true fans will always watch them no matter how much they suck :p

As for sales estimates, last year alone, The Land Before Time (original film) sold 666 753    DVD copies, and ranked 45 in the US top 100 DVD sales of 2015.

Top-Selling DVDs in the United States 2015

Couldn't get data on the bluray, though.

I thought they were drawing him differently so I was relieved to see him look the same.

Ooh thanks DarkWolf. I should preorder one, if only to increase the profit margin and encourage them to make another.

Well, I must say that this looks very promising. ^^spike Now we know which character gets separated, I have a good feeling that this movie will be a good one and hopefully a success.
What's the point in being mad if you don't do mad things now and again?
