Sanjeev Waters A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
Michelle Ridley The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity
Sarita Rafferty There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
allyball-63124 Oh my gosh this movie is ungodly stupid! Not helping is the fact that they repeat the same formula for Littlefoot that they used in The Great Valley Adventure. Also, the first like 20 minutes is very slow paced and feels like dumb filler. However, I like this movie. Going in after seeing those first twenty minutes, I thought this movie would be really stupid but no, it was actually kind of cute. Lizzy and SKitter are great, cute characters that play off the main five characters (mainly Littlefoot and Cera) quite nicely. The friendship between Lizzy and Cera is cute and their song is actually kind of decent. I also really liked Cera's conflict here. It was done well done and relatable. She might have been a brat but it's in character and realistic.
Mightyzebra Unlike lots of people on planet earth, I am not bothered about them making so many LBTs. I actually like that they make new ones all the time because I am always anxious to find out what happens next. Unfortunately, this one was very disappointing. Why did Littlefoot have to lie? Why did his friends want a special treat so innocent creatures could be killed? Why did Littlefoot's grandparents say he was small? Irriatating questions only the writer can answer.The film starts when the yearly supply of tree-sweets appears on a tree-sweet tree. Cera and his grandparents ( :( ) say Littlefoot is small. Littlefoot knocks all the tree-sweets off the tree and little longnecks eat them. He lies to all the other dinosaurs when he says that he saw the little longnecks eat the tree-sweets and he didn't have anything to do with it ( :( ). I think the plot ruins the film. I like the little longnecks and I also like Tria, a friend of Cera's dad who appears in the film as well. So, if you were expecting something like the original LBTs, then I don't recommend this. I liked it, but I didn't love it.
shadow_cabbit Seems to me as time goes on the plots in these movies seem to be geared towards a younger and younger audience. The first six actually had better plots and were more entertaining for older children. I still enjoy them even after ten years of watching them over and over.You would think the characters would mature as time goes on. Instead it seems they grow more and more immature with each movie. Cera becomes a brat in this one, as she has gradually regressed to (sadly) about midway through the series. And she was a good character too. She does bring up an interesting point which my sister pointed out back in number six: Littlefoot is very small for his age, especially being a long-neck. But she goes about it in the stupidest way. And the way they squabble over the tree sweets is a bit silly too and just downright childish. All around the plot was a good one, but the dialogue seemed to be geared towards small kids and identifying with them. I don't really like that they keep making the characters seem so childish and yet again they messed up the voice acting with a sucky new voice for Littlefoot. That's about all the qualms I have with this movie. Best suited for the younger kiddies.On a positive note, it does bring up a good lesson about the consequences of lying and the affects a significant other can have for a single parent/single child family. Cera reacts much as I would expect any child to when faced with the possibility of another person receiving attention once directed to them. And I do think it is hilarious the way Cera's father attempts to hide a possible love interest from his daughter. Another comical point in the movie is when Cera's father finds the Sweet Tree in ruins and screams, and listening to Littlefoot's Grandpa's reaction to it. The songs are really cheesy in this one but one song I really like in this movie is the one about Dads. To me every girl in the world can identify with that song because, hey, Dads CAN be a pain!The introduction of the Tiny Longnecks is a far shot to some, but to me it's an entirely realistic possibility. I mean, we focus on the big guys in the dinosaur world all the time, and there is evidence of smaller ones. There are possibly many more species yet to be discovered, so it could indeed be possible there were longnecks the size of kittens. I thought they were adorable and were a good addition to the cast.
Jude Austin Alright. To be honest, I think all the sequels are let down by the idea of musical numbers; it turns what was originally an animated film for slightly older children into a Disneyfied trip of cavity-inducing irritation. This one has the worst musical numbers in the whole series (some of the others admittedly weren't bad).My biggest problem with this film was lack of plausibility. Granted that's quite a strange thing to accuse this kind of film of this late in the series, as any paleontologist would tell you, along with everyone jumping down various throats and saying, "Yes, but it's a kids film so accuracy doesn't really matter." Fair enough. I'm not disputing that.However, the original film and its sequels up to this point were...well, at least believable within the Land Before Time universe. The idea of Littlefoot and pals raising a baby sharptooth or journeying to find a magic flower or having to deal with bullies are fine.But minuscule longnecks...no! That really does push the boundaries to breaking point! If it had been little creatures, then this could have kept up the passable trend with the other sequels, but just what was the point in these creatures? A fair idea that was let down by a lousy concept. The reason I'm giving it three stars instead of one was that this film does deal well with a fairly sensitive issue; namely that of a single parent finding someone else and how it can affect both children and adults.Though I could quite happily have lived the rest of my life without finding out that Cera's dad was named Topsy...
