The Land Before Time (1988) - Don Bluth

During my extensive research for this blog (HA), I found out that there were thirteen of these movies! Thirteen! Wow, really? I had no idea.
But yeah, this is a childhood favourite of mine, even though I wasn't born until 1993, but I think it was broadcast on TV a lot.
I went to PortAventura once and wanted a green screen picture with all the characters, but it wasn't to be. I got pictures from a different film instead, which you will probably see soon, as I am watching the film tomorrow. I shall probably post it on the review of that. Here's a hint: it also involves dinosaurs.
My sister bought me The Land Before Time on DVD for my birthday, and I also have the second one ready to watch, pretty soon.
Even though this one doesn't have Chomper in, (he's my favourite character, the original film is the best. It has more emotions, and I probably cry more in that two minutes (you all know the two minutes I am referring to) than in most cartoons, with possibly the exception of An All Dogs Christmas Carol (1998) - Paul Sabella and Gary Selvaggio, which most people think is a bad film, but I enjoy, purely because Don Bluth's original version (same director, what a small world?) was a bit too boring for my tastes. What part do you cry on, I hear you cry? The part where Carface, a mainly two dimensional villain, is shown his own past, and his reasons for being evil, always gets me, especially when he's all young and cute.
Anyway, this film conjures up all sorts of memories and reminiscents for me, and probably for most people born in the 90s and late 80s.
