The desecration of a wonderful movie. No, seriously, they have to be hunted down and killed. And all copies and backups burned. And the buildings that housed them blessed, exorcised and then burned.
I can only assume God is punishing us for banning gay marriage.
It's like there's some sort of booklet on "how to copy a popular movie" that says you're supposed to gut it, rip out the dead bodies of the main characters, and slap them into a new script made by the guys in charge of Barney. If there were no musical numbers and bright colors, then take the standard amount in Disney movies and double it. If it worked without that, that just means you need to cram in extra to fix it!
The original movie was about traveling in a harsh, unforgiving and horribly dangerous world that happened to have kids as the main characters. Everything after that point was a "kid's movie", as written by people who secretly hate children and want to torment them through mass condescension and stupid morals.
...There's a damn computer-animated television series of the movie I loved with all my heart as a young child? How can anyone do such a thing to one of the most heartwarming movies--not just children's movies, mind you---ever created? Nug, mother of Tulu. My icon shows how I feel.
...I still got all teary when I heard Jordin Sparks sing a rendition of the original title song on American Idol. That was the best movie of my childhood. ;___;
I take it you haven't seen any of the direct-to-video sequels. I've only seen the first few, but each one is orders of magnitude worse than the last, and they've been through ten. Imagine what the TV show will manage.
TEN? All right, I'll come out of the closet and admit that I liked the first sequel or two, but I happened to see them before I saw the original movie and could contrast them...and that is why no one has died by my hands.
The Land Before Time XI: Invasion of the Tinysauruses. "In this installment, Littlefoot learns a lesson about telling lies, and all the Great Valley dinosaurs learn that importance and help comes in all shapes and sizes." (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Land_Before_Time_XI:_Invasion_of_the_Tinysauruses) The orders of magnitude comment was not meant as hyperbole.
The first sequel was entirely passable for an unrelated kid's movie. The second was edging toward stupidity, but still decent based on the standards of disney stuff. I can acknowledge this.
It's only when linked to the original that they become travesties worthy of slow death.

I'm thinking, serial killer second graders.
