Inaccuracies?

The last two bullets under "Inaccuracies" ought to be removed. They sound like jokes. Obviously dinosaurs didn't speak English, dance, or love (at least not like humans do). They're not inaccuracies. It's just a cartoon. I doubt the writers were going for realism when they decided to make the characters talk and dance. Gigametroid99 (talk) 14:03, 17 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Check Netflix

They have several movies listed on their site that were during and after 2007, the latest movie this page has.

Guest Characters

The Guest Characters section needs to be cleaned up. Those can't be the only guest characters in the series. --Michaelzeng7 (talk) 20:51, 10 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

What if the fourteenth sequel to be done by Disney

What if Disney could take over TLBT franchise, and its first and only theatrical film was The Land Before Time XIV: Dawn of Mankind, which tells Littlefoot and the gang met a human for the first time.

Blacklisted Links Found on the Main Page

Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia. This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link. If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting. If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page. If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request it's removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true. Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.

The land after time

Should it be franchies inside of series — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.101.38.140 (talk) 15:33, 17 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 2 August 2015

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: moved. Jenks24 (talk) 11:17, 10 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The Land Before Time (series) → The Land Before Time (franchise) – This article covers more than just the films. I tried to move it back to "(franchise)", but it was reverted by Anythingspossibleforapossible. And per the naming conventions at WP:NCF, if "(franchise)" is unacceptable, the title should at least be "(film series)". The disambiguation "(series)" is too ambiguous for the scope of this article. Fortdj33 (talk) 17:20, 2 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It should be franchise — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.102.93.78 (talk) 10:15, 3 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Sharpteeth voice actor

A few of the Sharpteeth are voiced by Frank Welker. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.93.116.72 (talk) 17:23, 16 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Frank Welker is credited at least once (the Velociraptor pack) as listed in the credits of the third movie, but there isn't much solid proof on the others, aside from Sharptooth being said to be voiced by him uncredited everywhere. Hypnobrai (talk) 16:43, 17 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

2016 the final film?

We do not have a source directly stating the 2016 film is the last film. However, the box set released in 2016 is titled the "complete" collection and it's rather rare for anyone to ever definitively put the final nail in the coffin, so-to-speak,

Whether or not you want there to be more does not matter.

Should we say the 2016 film is the "final" installment or is there better wording to make it clear that we do not have anything to indicate there is anything more to come? - SummerPhD^v2.0 04:48, 7 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

~~Rather than "final," why not "last"?~~ I would think that it would be most appropriate to simply state that there are 14 films, a cartoon series and some games in the series, and have no discussion of "the end of the franchise" nor imply that the franchise is still ongoing despite obvious dormancy. Unless there are official announcements about there being more films or material to come, saying or implying that the franchise is ongoing despite no activity would be running afoul of WP:CRYSTAL and WP:OR.--Mr Fink (talk) 04:57, 7 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

That's certainly an option.

Also, "last" can mean "most recent in time; latest"?[1].

Any other comments or suggestions? - SummerPhD^v2.0 05:03, 7 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I think the cleanest solution is to remove that "years" field in the infobox that we are edit warring about. It doesn't appear to be a standard field for Template:Infobox media franchise, and other articles about film franchises do not have it. For example, Kung Fu Panda (franchise) is another example of a film franchise whose last film was in 2016 and may have another film or may not, we just don't know—it doesn't have any years field in the infobox. Mz7 (talk) 08:18, 7 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

That would be the best solution.--Mr Fink (talk) 15:00, 7 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Richardt1956: Can you please consider making an effort to discuss why we/you must include the "years" field and falsely imply that the franchise is ongoing despite no evidence that it is ongoing?Mr Fink (talk) 03:13, 15 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

– The franchise has 15+ media topics with more than 10+ films. I'm thinking the franchise should be at the base title since the film has grown into such a large franchise that readers may be best served going to the franchise article to determine what they're trying to look for in the franchise, rather than starting at the film article. Also, the franchise seems to be the primary over the film now because of this. Steel1943 (talk) 18:50, 11 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Support - putting franchise entries at primary to act as a WP:CONCEPTDAB fits the guideline at WP:NCFILM#Media franchise. While the first film is the most popular, it represents less than half the views among all the other options in the franchise (page views comparison is limited to 10 items). This move also eliminates the need for the separate The Land Before Time (disambiguation). -- Netoholic @ 20:12, 11 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose many franchise are like this see Toy Story (franchise), Shrek (franchise) borth have the films like Toy Story, Shrek I think this page should follow suit. Fanoflionking 22:10, 14 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- In response to this, the aforementioned examples are both 1) the defining film/item of the series and 2) do not have nearly as many items in the franchise as The Land Before Time (franchise) has. In fact, I'd go as far as to say that Toy Story and Shrek have both passed the test of time as the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC above their franchise itself (even though I think the verdict may still be out on extending the aforementioned statement to Shrek) ... the film subject currently at The Land Before Time, not so much, and maybe not at all.
