I guarantee you, the only reason movie 14 exists is because Universal wanted to cash in the inevitable dinosaur nostalgia craze they themselves manufactured via Jurassic World. And much like Jurassic World, they didn't really give a shit when making this one.

[@vertraeumtemoewe]

Universal don’t seem to be so good I notice

[@oshkeet]

Ironically, it manages to have has one of the coolest Sharptooth designs.

[@TRNatalie48]

Which makes me surprised that we haven't seen an attempt at a 15th movie with Dominion and the popularity of Prehistoric Planet

[@LucasCaminha]

@@TRNatalie48 probably something to do with the fact that the 14th one didn't sell as well as they thought. I don't know if that's the case, but it feels like it.

[@CaptainKotetsu]

For me, the first six entries are the true classic Land Before Time films. They had the classic animation style, each movie had new characters, unique plots, and there were always different sharpteeth to run from. Even a shark that one time.

[@davidhileman8567]

I think one of the most prominent and likely reasons why the "Land Before Time" series had a hiatus after number 13 was because the direct-to-video/DVD sequel fad had fizzled out due to what happened at Disney in around 2006-07. That was when Disney, then under the recently-appointed CEO Bob Iger, purchased Pixar Animation Studios and appointed Pixar co-founder Ed Catmull and pretty big man in Pixar John Lasseter to big positions in Disney animation, and not just Pixar. Ed Catmull became Walt Disney Animation Studios' new president, while Lasseter was appointed as Pixar and WDAS' Chief Creative Officer, and one of the first things that John Lasseter did when he took that position was to put all Disney direct-to-home-media spinoffs and sequels that weren't already in production to a stop. This resulted in "The Little Mermaid: Ariel's Beginning" being the final direct-to-home-media sequel (it's actually a prequel, though), released about nine months after "The Wisdom of Friends", on August 26th, 2008. And speaking of "Ariel's Beginning", Kenneth Mars also ducked out of reprising his role as King Triton for that film due to him being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, so he was replaced by Jim Cummings.

[@rebeccalambeth3427]

Land Before Time: Journey of the Brave is the only dvd I've ever owned that I felt compelled to break after viewing. No film since has ever made me feel robbed to have spent money on it.

[@jeremiahwalker3795]

What was the worst part about it

[@rebeccalambeth3427]

@@jeremiahwalker3795 Part of it was the terrible performances by Grandpa Longneck and Cera's Dad's voice actors, but the main reason was something I noticed a little way in: There's nothing that 'Wild Arms' does in the story that Shorty from the 10th movie couldn't have done and made more sense/had more emotional weight doing. It would've made more sense if Bron had gotten separated off going back to save his adopted son rather than a random dinosaur they threw in for 'look we made feathered dinosaurs' brownie points.

[@hyperdreamer9483]

I’m pretty sure the Sharp-Teeth were supposed to be Baryonyx since they have the very usual Baryonyx look for media

[@gattycroc8073]

I said this many times, but I really want a new film series or show about prehistoric animals with updated stylized character designs. years have passed since we got something like Land Before Time or Ice Age, so I want something for the newer generation to feel that same magic.

[@ARod3]

I hope the make an actual movie of them as adults as a true conclusion

[@Frogboyaidan]

Those unamed sharp teeth are infact baryonyx

[@FrostGhidorahEX]

I just feel bad for Land Before Time It started on a high and ended not with a bang but a puff of prehistoric dust Its a tragedy Land Before Time was a fun series I enjoyed as a kid And it became...just dull I think Universal knew it too. Despite Jurassic World bringing back a dinosaur resurgence they didn't think to ride it with Land Before Time beyond 1 new sequel If the rumours about them wanting to do a new Land Before Time with an older crew are true I'd welcome it I want Land Before Time to get a happy ending Not a sad extinction

[@CaptainKotetsu]

Dude, why did so many sharpteeth have two fingers after a certain point? The raptors in the third movie had three fingers, but every raptor in following movies has two. Even the goddamn spinosaurus has two fingers!!! I know it’s a small detail but paleo nerds like me notice that stuff and it bothers me.

[@thefirehawk8520]

I'm not entirely sure. As far as I know the original reason why for example the characters in the smurfs or simpsons have four fingers is because it'd cost more time, and back in the days also colour and was apparently harder to animate and draw without it looking overly weird. So I imagine it might be in order to cut time on making one-off characters with comparatively little screentime

[@oshkeet]

I suspect someone took the herbivores calling all the different carnivores "sharptooth" too literally, and decided it'd be easy visual shorthand for the kids to tell what animals those were. Yknow, cause the massive maw of teeth and overly-realistic proportions didnt somehow.

[@Dinologan1015]

Land Before Time: Giving us chonky, lipped tyrannosaurs since 1988

[@garrettdonovan8238]

That was actually the norm for tyrannosaur depictions prior to Jurassic Park and the Dinosaur Renaissance.

[@firefly1584]

I like that you called out the fact that the charaters never age, despite time canonlly passing. You didn't watch the T.V. show yet, but we have now had three winters pass, (or three cold times). The first in movie 8, the second in the show, and 14 starts in spring, after another cold time. Uncle Ptrano is two years away from being aloud back in the valley.

[@prasetyodwikuncorojati2434]

Yup. I noticed it too. Apparently there are some supranatural power in Great Valley that make any animals aged several time much slowly than it should be. This force too that possibly attracting non earth being to visited the place like a pair rainbow faces dinosaurs that appear in Stone of Cold fire movie

[@ionryful]

​@@prasetyodwikuncorojati2434 I never really understood why they had to be aliens instead of very ecentric dinosaurs...unless they are alien dinosaurs.

[@landenriley8442]

The "Sinotyrannus" are actually Yutyrannus

[@GoGojiraGo]

Chomper and Ruby do a lot more in the TV series, which is actually pretty good overall.

[@mariedufore8795]

The movies in The Land Before Time can be really hit or miss

Sorry to hear about your nana. I hope she's able to recover 😢

[@joshuaW5621]

Thanks you two.

[@ArtemisDalmasca]

The issue with movies 11-13 is that they break up the overarching theme of the original movie into smaller movie. And they don't even do it that well. They're made for kids who just see the brand name. 11 - Don't Judge others by size 12 - Don't stick to the status quo, be yourself 13 - Don't judge others by looks These were all covered incredibly well in the original movie, and covered all at once, rather than these lobotomy installments that destroy all of the prior development of characters and themes

[@garrettdonovan8238]

It's kind of awkward in hindsight that they seemingly based Guido's voice on Woody Allen. Also, Wild Arms in the 14th movie reminds me of Sid the sloth from Ice Age. He’s even a Nothronychus, which means “sloth claw”

[@prasetyodwikuncorojati2434]

Nothrorychus itself basically is dinosaurian ground sloth (also for the rest of therizinosaurs family)

I remember watching all of these on netflix as a child, except for wisdom of friends because it wasn't on netflix for some reason. The great migration has to be my favorite since it was the first one I saw, but to be fair it's been so long that I've honestly don't remember how much I liked them.

[@LightBringer127_dragonart]

Thanks for yet again roasting the “ be yourself message”. It’s cringy and unhealthy when taken to its logical conclusion.

[@p13huynh]

Even tho this wasn’t like a documentary this was my favorite series of dinosaur out of all times

[@RJ-Makes-Things]

The tv series is way better than the last few movies. It actually (kinda) explains Ruby and Chomper. Plus, most of the movies have sequel episodes. There are also some 15/10 gem episodes that are amazing. There are a few stinkers, tho, but i think the majority are great. You should watch them just to see what they tried.

[@Vickdimonejr]

I always love the content red raptor!!

[@mlgodzilla4206]

DeviantArt was how I knew of the Yellowbellies unfortunately

[@TheStupidRaptor]

Review the whole Land Before Time tv series sometime. There's only 26 episodes, each 22 minutes long, and I think they might be free on KZbin. It wouldn't be that hard.

[@lvl5dino749]

will you watch and review the TV show? I actually remember quite enjoying it back in the day.

[@serenitytoepper]

I'll admit as a kid watching all of these movies and the series. I kind of always wished that for the final movie we'd get a flash forward into the future and see them all grown up and I always thought that would be a great wat to end it.

[@nigelbeuorfondletheknife3971]

[@Rodan_003]

I agree with you about what the sharpe teth from the wisdom of friends are sapost to be

[@HvaasGeisa]

Maybe those sharp teeth in Wisdom of Friends are supposed to be Vectispinus? Bary works to, that was just my first thought

[@thusgordonplot4721]

They really should continue

[@michaelbaker1660]

Part 4 has finally arrived

[@SharksandDinos]

Probably should have went with the TV version of this clip (27:56) as it would have saved a lot more on time and it would have fit with your complaints better.

[@jon_the_guanlong]

Imagine if they did a reboot with updated designs to reflect our modern understanding of dinos. Like add feathers and lips and such!

[@bandamkaliz]

12 has spinosaurus. Oh no But WE DON'T TALK ABOUT SPINO NO NO NO

[@Rodan_003]

Do you think that the yellow bellys are supposed to be Chirostenotes I think so ever that or Robey,s 1 or wild arms there’s got to be a Chirostenote in there somewhere

[@ISEONIX]

27:52 THIS LINE XD

[@Rodan_003]

I think the sharpe teeth from the wisdom of friends are what you said 2

[@davidh429]

I owned all of them apart from the last one as I was born in 2000. These movies alomg woth Studio Gibli, Harry Potter, and Lord of the Rings were my childhood movies(along others)

[@apnosaurus]

also 420 narcissism is very stigmatized personality disorder, self obsession is the only thing people know about it. but self flagellation stemming from abuse are very very big components of it

[@bentheg9793]

"As I would have said in 2011, epic fail." Tbh, with the benefit of hindsight, we should probably use "epic fail" more often in the 2020s, and should have used it for the rest of the 2010s decade.

[@mikkelhkkerup7934]

I think, I have asked it in one of Your other reviews, Red Raptor Whites, of some of the Land Before Time-movies: It would be nice to watch a review of the movie Disney’s “Dinosaur” from 2000. The main protagonist is an Iguanodon named Aladar. And it is NOT “The Good Dinosaur”, also by Disney, but from 2016!

[@martinsoto6146]

I personally like to see the Feathered Sharpteeth from Journey of the Brave as Yutyrannus

[@jacobcox4565]

The feathers and the Proceratosaurid crest really give it away.

[@keithmcintyre9034]

The villains in 13 are Baryonyx but I thought they were Carcharodontosaurus at first

[@garrettdonovan8238]

Same actually

[@jackrose7261]

We not gonna mention they the yellowbellies look like dodo birds

[@Ratchetcomand]

Was that a Shringasaurus in the video thumbnail?

i remember how excited i was for journey of the brave to release since it was a new land before movie in years man i truly hope universal is making a reboot special if they keep the animation the same in each movie i like the tv series they did they got some of the characters from the movie to return like ali wich look like she have a crush on littlefoot and doc with an mate for some reason sadly the series dont explain on why chomber live in the great valley

[@dinoreviewsfitnessmore8610]

I feel they could have been a type of mega raptors

Hey red raptor writes can you do a review of disneys dinosaur please

[@mikkelhkkerup7934]

If it is the 2000 movie with the main protagonist called Aladar, I second that😀

[@Meme-penguin69]

Correct

[@emmanuelbaltazartorrescisn9639]

​@mikkelhkkerup7934 Well, technically, you otherwise meant protagonist, not antagonist. And secondly, the Carnotaurus have earned its role as the main antagonist of the movie. 🦖🦕🏜🏞

Here's all 14 Land Before Time Movies, Reviewed In 10 Words or Less!... 1. The Land Before Time: 8/10 - That one "taar monster" scene is pure Nightmare Fuel. 2. Great Valley Adventures: 7/10 - Whatever happened to the new little ones at the end? 3. Time of the Great Giving: 5/10 - That giant meteor at the begining should've killed them. 4. Journey Through the Mist: -4/10 - Turns out you CAN cheat death! With MAGIC Night Flowers! 5. The Mysterious Island: 8/10 - Chomper's back, and tries not to eat his friends. 6. Seceret of Saurus Rock: 5/10 - Whatever happened to the twins after this movie? 7. Stone of Cold Fire: 9/10 - Pterano's the best character in the entire franchise! 8. The Big Freeze: 3/10 - Appearantly, screaming really loud solves all your problems. 9. Journey to Big Water: 4/10 - That random earthquake at the begining is the real villain. 10.

[@DSLego3]

Wow, we've finally made it to the end. Have to say, wow how the series began on such a high note and how it ended at a low point to say the least. Honestly, I definitely have some favorites but the quality definitely dropped after 10 I have to say. I will say I need to give the whole series a rewatch but it's good to know what's awaiting for me. I will say 12,13 and 14 didn't look promising and seeing your input Red Raptor, I have to agree with your input. Shame that this is where the series I guess ends. The characters have not aged and the charm and quality has gone extinct for lack of a better term with this series. Also, just a nitpick with 14, not a fan of hearing Rexy's sounds outside of Jurassic Park. It may still be Universal, but Carnotaurus alone had better sounds by Disney than what we got in Journey of the Brave. Overall, I can't rank the final installment as apart from a few clips, I haven't seen the film. But my ranking I'd have to say for now would be: 1.) The Great Longneck Migration 2.) Secret of Saurus Rock 3.) The Land Before Time 4.) The Great Valley Adventure 5.) The Mysterious Island 6.) The Time of the Great Giving 7.) The Stone of Cold Fire 8.) The Big Freeze 9.) Journey to Big Water 10.) Journey Through the Mists 11.) Invasion of the Tinysaurs 12.) Great Day of the Flyers 13.) Wisdom of Friends And that's where I think I'd have to put all of them for now. Guessing the 14th film might not fair too well given your insight plus the series quality going downhill in every aspect. Thanks for these reviews as always Red Raptor, keep up your awesome content and I can't wait to see what is next on the channel. Stay safe and have a great day.
