My husband just bought our daughter the box set of all 14 movies for Christmas. Rewatching this to prepare for my future.

you mentioning that they were musicals after the first one made a memory resurface in my brain of a very bored 9 year old me watching a land before time singalong with a bunch of kids way younger than me at my babysitter's house while my parents partied it up on new years eve

I was a big Land Before Time fan when I was a kid, though I stopped watching after movie 6 because I didn't like movie 6 at all and I grew out of the movie. Seeing movie 5 be number 1 on the list really validates little kid me because 5 was my favorite sequel. This has to be one of your best videos too. I'm a little disappointed more people aren't posting their rankings of the LBT movies in the comments. I've only seen the first 6 but there is mine in order of worst to best: 6<4<3<2<5<1. Keep up the good work, Jenny!

I really appreciate your point about giving kids more "playsets." Movies and scenes that are open ended, creative, and just cool! Stuff that will inspire their imaginations! That is severely lacking these days. I can't imagine growing up with nothing but dull adult Marvel movies, even duller DC movies, and profusely dull Star Wars with empty morals and stakes and epic playsets in all of them. Thank God Lego is still in the business of having fun for kids, I highly commend them trying their best to extract some cool play scenes from franchises these days. they're doing the Lord's work.

I think this might be my favorite video of yours; I watched after spending the morning making stressful calls and it effectively cheered me up. Love the editing and energy; it seems you’re firing on all cylinders! Thanks for the content.

I somehow convinced myself that this was only a ranking of the sequels, so having the original movie turn up felt like a genuine twist!

I legit thought there was only one Land Before Time. Either the other 13 have been hiding very well or I have...

I’ve never seen any of these movies before, but that was a super-fun video, so bless you for that! Only trouble is I now have that “Grandma's Lullaby” song repeating in my head… repeating… repeating… repeating…

Thank you for making this. I hope you have all the equipment to ease video editing because, Dang!

honestly one of your best videos. the editing is hilarious

The nostalgia I felt watching this (even though I only saw maybe 2 or 3 of these films as a kid) was wild! Can't believe it took me until I was 26 to realise that Cera was called Cera because she's a triceratops...

Spencer Hastings · May 29, 2020

As a kid i only liked lbt for Cera bc my name is Sarah and that’s what i thought her name was (this is also why I watched the little princess despite the terror of that movie) so disappointed to learn she was racist. I also hate racism plots that use species as a stand in for race. Humans of different races are not different species! It just implies a lot of stuff it shouldn’t (should we treat animals as our equals? Or are we saying 2 humans of a different race are a different as 2 species?) it would make more sense for within a species 1 group has 3 horns and another only 2 horns.

who is counting · May 29, 2020

I only know LBT from this video so I might have a completely wrong impression but I actually like what this seems to imply: if there is a different sentient species we should be treating them as equals.

Leland Goodman · May 29, 2020

I always felt dumb for enjoying the sequels more than the original so I can't TELL YOU how validated I feel that you agree number 5 is superior!!

Louis Gallegos · May 29, 2020

This came at such a perfect time, I was watching some old home movies today and a tv presentation of the original land before time was at the end of the tape

This video is exactly what the world needs right now thank you Jenny! Also that TROS cameo was the best thing I've ever seen :D

Hope the premiere went well! It sure seemed like there were a huge number of folks watching! - although I guess I've nothing to compare it to and also have no idea how these things operate algo-analytically... (A brief debrief post-ramble would be fascinating if that happened to suit.) Also hope the copyright strike can be bunted or fouled off or whatever one does with those ⚾️💥😠

The YT recommended video after this one for me was an acoustic cover of “Listen to the Land.” I recommend it also.

Erica Comitalo · May 28, 2020

I named a cat Sara after this very Cera when I was 5, and I remembered that fact at exactly this moment.

Paul Des Lauries · May 28, 2020

This video is going to upset a lot of weirdos

Rick Clark · May 28, 2020

I think that the “character who is younger than the main character“ and talks in broken baby talk started with Sesame Street’s Elmo, because Big Bird (at age 5) was getting too mature and wise. I wish kids would stop liking him too, but I’m afraid that ship has sailed.

The premier just ended and I loved it. I was not prepared for your hot take, but you did a very good job supporting it, and while I don't know that I can say I agree with it I can definitely say I respect it. Thanks for making a great video.

Does "Friends for Dinner" have a double meaning?

I think the dolphin dino is an ichthyosaurus.

I feel like the Lone Dinosaur might be a diplodocus, and I feel very nerdy for recognizing that.
