We’re finally here.
If you didn’t know this one was coming…you’ve lived under a rock. This week we’re looking at the movie with a million sequels: 1988’s The Land Before Time by Bluth Sullivan Studios!

This was a tricky one.
Aly usually starts off with source material, but this movie is an original concept! In addition to there not being too much in the way of source, there isn’t a whole lot of information on the conception of this film. So…she decided to entertain us all with a bunch of information this movie got wrong about dinosaurs!
It should be noted that they did do a lot of research on this film (as Sarrah tells us later), but our knowledge about dinosaurs has come so far since the 1980’s that there are a few things Aly had to mention!

Then Sarrah takes over for a quick discussion about the studio process of this film. It has a pretty big Spielberg and Lucas connection, which is always fun to talk about. She also goes through the entire release history (so much home video) and quite a few reviews. Most of the reviews were consistent with our own opinion “it’s okay…but very much a kids movie”. Sarrah also reminds us of the Pizza Hut tie in where Pizza Hut gave out rubber hand puppets of the characters! So incredibly late-80’s/early-90’s.

Aly then takes over by giving us a short synopsis of all of the sequels. She also found an article that rated them all, so we learn which ones are decent (…..) and which ones to ignore (pretty much all of them). We also have some pretty big questions about Little Foot’s Dad.

Aly also starts a new segment in which she reads the synopsis of select film fan-fiction until Sarrah is laughing so hard she cries. You don’t want to miss it. Or maybe you do, people are WEIRD.
