It's been 19 years since the original
Land Before Time animated film hit theaters, brought to you by Don Bluth (
Secret of NiMH, Dragon's Lair arcade game) and Executive Producers Steven Spielberg and George Lucas. Since then a dozen direct-to-video sequels have come along, the latest one having just been announced this week.
This past March a television program based on these characters was launched on the Cartoon Network, an idea that was probably long overdue for this successful franchise. And Universal Home Video has wasted no time in getting these episodes onto DVD as well: the first single-disc volume is in stores now, and this past week they've announced the second 4-episode release to arrive on
November 27th. Here are the details:
