Land Before Time (1988)

Ian was gone to camp this weekend, Bubba was camping, then working. This left me and Chloe alone for a whole two days to watch whatever we wanted in peace and quiet.  I found this on Netflix and was SO excited to share it with her.  When I worked at the video store in 1988-1989, this had just come out on video and was one of the "approved" videos we could have running in the store throughout the day.  I freaking LOVED this movie. I loved the voices, loved the story.  Loved it all. I couldn't wait to have kids to show them this adorable movie.  Chloe lasted about two minutes and she was back upstairs watching Charlie Brown on her iPod. I guess she didn't get it.  If you haven't seen it...its the story of a group of dinosaurs that go looking for their family after "the great earth shake"  Its sad, and scary (for a kid anway!) and adorable.  I feel like it sort of stood the test of time for me, but I guess wasn't "cool" enough for my kid #2, and its very possible its too late for my kid #1, but I will try to force it down his throat this week sometime just because I am curious. I wonder if some of my love for the movie, doesn't really come from my love and memories for my job at Mammoth Video in St. Clair Shores.  One of my all time favorite jobs.  Now the two are forever connected, so I guess I will never know if the movie is really any good or not.  Chloe apparently says "nope"
