    I saw this (and its sequels) many times when I was little, but back then, I couldn't fully appreciate the majesty of the animation. The directing is fantastic. Each of the five really feel like they have their own perspective of the world, pulled off with great camera angles and body language. The story and cast of characters are timeless and nostalgic. The transitions between scenes can be a little awkward, as minutes were cut from the film to keep it from scarring kids, and it's short, but it has that beautiful fuzzy VHS quality I love. I'm happy I went back to this. It has held up beyond belief.

      Editing … There are like twenty of these movies, aren't there? They just keep on churning them out since the early seventies or something.

      Editing … The first movie was late eighties, but yeah there were more than ten sequels. I saw up through X. I dunno if I'd still like any of those. They're probably pretty cruddy.

      Editing … The first film was directed by Don Bluth, who is an incredibly talented guy. I would recommend watching secret of NIMH, also directed by him. It holds a special place in my heart right next to land before time.

      Editing … I've seen NIMH. I liked it alright and gave it a 7 but I wouldn't watch it again. Of course, unlike TLBT I never saw it as a kid.
