‘The Land Before Time’ to Hit Blu-ray This Autumn

Land Before Time Poster Roto

This autumn, Universal Home Entertainment will give Don Bluth’s 1988 animated classic The Land Before Time the Blu-ray treatment. The release, a Blu-ray and Digital Copy combo pack, is now up for pre-order on Amazon and it’s listed on Blu-ray.com.

The film is not only notable for its success back in 1988, it’s also notable for being a collaboration between the ex-Disney animator-turned-competitor, Steven Spielberg (who also produced Bluth’s previous film, An American Tail), and George Lucas. Universal released the film on the same day as Disney Feature Animation’s Oliver & Company, both went head-to-head in a historic box office race. At the domestic box office Disney’s film narrowly won and The Land Before Time put up quite the fight. Years later, it received numerous direct-to-video sequels and a TV series…

The title will be released on October 13th, the same day as the Diamond Edition of Aladdin, and a certain other Universal film about dinosaurs that also happens to be Spielberg-related (and also currently happens to be this year’s biggest film at the box office and the third biggest of all-time). Let’s also not forget that Pixar has an animated dinosaur film of their own opening a month later.

The last time this film hit home media was back in late 2003. Will the Blu-ray be a high quality release? The Blu-ray for An American Tail, the only other Bluth film released by Universal, had two bonus features, and review sites like Blu-ray.com criticized the picture quality. It’s possible that Universal might give this film similar treatment, or maybe they might surprise us. One question that animation fans might ask is this: Will the set include deleted scenes or the full, legendary uncut version? Most likely not, though it would be great to see that cut of the film and a lot of bonus features, should this Blu-ray release not have any or just a few.

Are you looking forward to the first Blu-ray release of ‘The Land Before Time’? Do you think it will contain bonus features? Do you think it will boast good video and sound quality? Sound off below!
