The Land Before Time

On the data. The single most useful thing on this page is that the 1988 film and its thirteen sequels are effectively different products made by different people for different audiences. The first is a Don Bluth film with Steven Spielberg and George Lucas as executive producers. It had a worldwide theatrical release, it is not a musical, and it is genuinely upsetting in places. It took 84.5 million dollars on a budget of 12.3 million. Bluth, Spielberg and Lucas have no involvement with any of the sequels at all. Everything from 1994 onward is straight to video, lighter, and built around musical numbers. Plenty of people love them and plenty of people have no idea they exist. Either way, expecting the tone of the first film is the mistake. The numbering is a trap in three ways. The titles use Roman numerals, the first film has no numeral at all, and there are two real gaps: there is no 1999 film and no 2004 film. Databases invent entries to fill both. The fourteenth arrived nine years after the thirteenth and is frequently dated 2015 or 2017 instead of 2016. The sequels are loosely serialised rather than episodic. Characters introduced in one turn up in later ones and locations recur, so release order is the correct order, but nothing forces a specific pairing the way a real chain would. On the television series: it is twenty-six episodes either way, but one source calls it a single season and another splits it fifteen and eleven across two. This page carries two. It was made between the thirteenth and fourteenth films and is set there.
