Let's Watch: The Land Before Time

Dude, the combination of you laying down and it being THIS movie which I watched in the 80s when it was first of VHS is totally triggering memories of laying in a little child sleeping bag, on the floor in front of the TV watching with the other kids my mom was childsitting.

omg this movie is my childhood. didnt recognize the english title. I had this on dvd. no idea it was from the 80s

if you wanna lay down with headphones you can use a neck pillow as a normal pillow or make a U or donut out of a blanket

One of the reasons this movie being so short is that Spielberg and Lucas cut about 10 minutes from this film, for reasons of violence, too scary, too whatever, but this really pissed off the director Don Bluth, and was probably one of the reasons they stopped working together. Someone else recommended another Bluth film called "An American Tail" which would be amazing to see a reaction to someday.

Watching in the 90's I understood what this movie was about. Cere's the mean drunk. Ducky's on E. Spike's the stoner. Petrie's the tweaker. And Littlefoot was straight edge.

This movie and all dogs go to heaven have such dark undertones I cry every single time

No. Nope. Can’t. First film I watched in the theater. Didn’t go back to the theater for 5 years (The Nightmare Before Christmas). I don’t have the coin for the emergency call to my therapist that a rewatching of this movie would incite 😅. Everyone else, enjoy!

I'm sorry you're feeling old, even if it does mean I need to reformat how I arrange my windows on my monitor. =P (Not used to having the movie in the upper right...)

This movie had probably the perfect running time for you today Nat 😊 Don Bluth also did the animation for The Secret of Nimh, and Spielberg liked it so much that he asked him to supervise An American Tail, and then this movie. The score is so epic. I love it. James Horner also wrote the music for American Tail, and then for pretty much every Don Bluth animation that followed. An American Tail and it's sequel would be fun movies to watch on your channel 😊 Thanks for your cosy reaction today Nat, and for hanging out with us on your stream. Hoping that things get back to normal for you soon 💛

Me: "OMG, when I was a kid I used to watch this laying on the couch when I was sick!" **Plays vid and sees Natalie getting the pillow "Wait a minute...."

I hate to bring this up but I do think it's necessary because she deserves to be discussed and honestly not many do. The actress who did the voice of Ducky, Judith Barsi and along with her mother was murdered by her father, who would 3 days later set fire to their house and take his own life. She was only 10 years old. It was just 4 month before this was released and at the time she was finishing the film All Dogs Go To Heaven, for that it was still in production and Don Bluthe was able to honor her by incorporating Judith's real mannerisms to the character she plays in it and dedicated the theme song at the end to her. I honestly always think about her too when I listen to If We Hold On Together. Her father was horribly abusive to her and her mother, he was also very jealous of her success which is just ridiculous to me. At the time she was becoming quite a big child actress, she had been numerous commercials and TV shows. CPS failed this poor girl, they were looking into her case but dropped it. Her tombstone says "Yep Yep Yep" on it. This was her favorite role. It was just incredibly heartbreaking, she was so good in this. To me she was heart of this movie. The screen literally brightens when she's officially introduced and she's the glue that keeps them all together. The way she immediately welcomed Spike into her family was so sweet to me. Ducky was always my favorite, I even named by green parakeet that I had when I was a kid after her. Again, sorry to be a downer but I just needed to mention it.

Maybe Nat will start a new genre of Reactions, Lay Down Reactions... it was very soothing to watch with Nat..

Loved this reaction, but if I lay down to watch a film I'd be fast asleep within the 1st 30 minutes lol..

Don Bluth directed this animated film and he's known for emotionally impactful classics like The Secret of NIHM, An American Tail and All Dogs Go To Heaven.

Natlie, do not feel sad. It is all right. Many things do not sit up straight. Rooooocks. Treeees. Sticks. Spike.

oh no xD You could start filming like popcorn in bed style! so at least youre on something comfy Secret lab has great chairs too with lower back support pillows I can sit in them all day no issue!

Nat all lying down, crying and in pain! Some cute animal PLEASE COME AND GIVE NATALIE A CHERRY TO CHEER HER UP!

Hope your hip heals soon Nat! I got a herniated disk in my neck from a kayak trip recently, so I’m in the same boat. Hopefully they’re giving you something decent for pain management

donut/neck pillow might work - where you put the headphone ear piece inside the hole... then regular pillow underneath

So here for cozy Nat.
