Why did Universal turn The Land Before Time franchise into direct-to-video shovelware after the first one? It could be as big as Jurassic Park if they treated it with care.

Land Before Time is millennial-core.

tell me anon where exactly can they go plotwise for a sequel?
They had like 17 different chances to make a good sequel and the only decent one is the one that rehashes the plot of the first one

Different topographies

Water sequel
Jungle sequel
Arctic sequel with ice age tie in

Make it a pseudo anthology that keeps the world but tells stories of other characters in different time periods and parts of the world.

dawg, it's a movie with dinosaurs set in their own time. Anything can be a story. It's more crazy that they keep pumping out Jurassic Park stories.

>>213067419
they already did these anon, some more than once
>>213067531
and that's exactly what they did for 16 sequels
>>213067439
could've had potential, depending on how exactly it was done. it's a could've, not a would've.

The main cast become teenage dinosaurs, then adult dinosaurs
Another generation that's the children of the main cast
Descendants of the first main cast but they are evolving into different dinosaurs
A whole new gang of different dinosaurs
A movie from the carnivores perspective
Another extinction event

>and that's exactly what they did for 16 sequels
yes, but all the sequels had the production value of a CW show. The first one had Don Bluth animation and James Horner music.

I think being chained to the original cast plus post great valley is what limited it in the end, they basically got the ultimate ending where almost nothing should have gone wrong after.

You could put any main character on this poster and I'd probably watch the movie.

>Jurassic Park dino craze

>>213068357
This. They wanted to make a franchise out of a setting and cast that had already reached their end and because of that they quickly fell into bland music slop half-assed for quick bucks.

>>213066663
True.

The truth is, I was hoping for an episode where neanderthals hunt them and they find a way to betray them.
Yes, I didnt know shit about time periods then.

Kids love dinosaurs, that’s about it

>And they all grew up together in the valley-- Generation upon generation, each passing on to the next: The tale of their ancestors' journey to the valley... long ago.

Jurassic World is mogging Superman and Fantastic Four

If you're not already aware, the series became Christian Fundamentalist and they reveal it's 4000 BC and they're walking alongside man. This actually happened in 7 or 8.
