Bound to happen
You know, I recall as a wee lad watching and enjoying "The Land Before Time" and actually being able to enjoy it. upon discovering that there was going to be a sequel, I was also quite happy, although wasn't quite as pleased as with the first one. By the time #5 came around, I pretty much gave up hope of the movies returning to their former glory, which was the first one. By that time, I was actually poking fun at the product and would continue to resent the numerous sequels that came afterward. I still remember working at Safeway as a bagger and watching a mother buy "The Land Before Time VIII: The Big Freeze." Dan, the checker at that place, took one look at the front cover and jokingly asked "Do you think they'd be smiling like that if they knew they were about to become extinct?" It was a funny joke, but that's just it right there. The movies have become one big joke, comprised of terrible music, bright coloring, thin plots and weak themes. Kids love it though.
What brings me to this is the thought that not too long ago, I wondered something. They've made so many weak sequels that could be cut down to 20 minutes or less if they just removed the crappy music, so why don't they just make a TV series? I was joking, of course, but it looks like that's exactly what's happening:
Universal's newly formed family entertainment label, Universal Studios Home Entertainment Family Productions, today announced that production has begun on 26 episodes of a Land Before Time animated television series. Looking to debut on Cartoon Network in 2007, the show will later be distributed on DVD by Universal. Further details of the series, plus news of a twelfth installment in the Land Before Time film franchise, currently titled Day of the Flyers, may be found at Coming Soon.
Egads. After they toss another crap sequel our way, they WILL crank out a TV show after all just to pour the salt on. I need to stop thinking these ideas and jinxing the movie I so loved as a child. Ah well, it could be worse. They could be doing it in all CGI…D’oh!
