As I have given good reviews to The Great Valley Adventure, The Time Of The Great Giving, Journey Through The Mists, and The Mysterious Island, you may be curious to know how I like the 6th installment in the series. Well, as a Land Before Time fan, I think that The Secret Of Saurus Rock is just as great. Doc/The Lone Dinosaur is a nice addition and Cera's twin nieces Dinah and Dana are adorable, although I do have to wonder where they came from since although Cera mentions having sisters in the first movie, we never see them again. The dream sequences also add a nice and very artistic touch. But probably the most interesting plot element was Saurus Rock and how it supposedly protects the Great Valley from afar and the idea, continued from the 4th and 5th movies, that the valley isn't entirely immune from outside influence. Saurus Rock itself gives the movie a very fascinating mystical element that is only added to in the next movie. See you next time, where I review The Land Before Time VII: The Stone Of Cold Fire.

The first one I watched with dad and my younger relatives. Secret of Saurus Rock is great! As I said, the 2nd best LBT(of course,the first is the best)! The young 'uns loved reenacting the fights with their little toys. (SPOILER) It's the time of the changing treestars (autumn). Littlefoot and co. are told an old dinosaur myth about the lone dinosaur and the Saurus Rock made in his honor by grandpa. All's well and dandy, but we see two baby threehorns Dina and Dana, Cera's "neices"(I don't think she's old enough to be an aunt, probably younger cousins). Then, when playing "lone dinosaur", Lil'foot falls of a small cliff but is rescued by a diploDOCus named Doc. It turns out that, after a talk with Lil'foot, Doc could be the lone dinosaur. The twins sneak off to Saurus Rock and followed by the gang. A tooth of the teeth circle around S.R.'s neck falls off. Legend claims that if SR is damaged, bad luck will come(it did). An encounter with an Allosaurus follows. Grownups accuse Doc for the luck. Lil'foot goes off to "fix" the luck. Find out the rest by your self(SPOILERS END) Overall, a great sequel for the continuing series.

Even though for an adult the story may seem a little silly this is still a great film. Children will adore it.This movie has some brilliant songs. I dare anyone who listens to it not to start tapping their feet while listening to 'bad luck'.The animation is ok (for a television flick) and is of the same standard as the rest of the sequels.Dina and daina (who is apparently a boy) are very cute, if irritating to an adult audience .I however think they are adorable.
Cera gets a bigger role in this movie (in babysitting the twins) and that is nice to see as she is a great female character. We don't see many strong female roles in movies and this is one where it is much appreciated.Kids will like it and older fans will smile at it.It also teaches children the importance of resposablity.

I have enjoyed watching this film with my 5-year old daughter many times. The typical hokey references to evolution are overshadowed by a good story line, memorable scenes and pleasant characters. Doc (Kris Kristofferson), the Lone Dinosaur, is a real treat.
