zsofikam The next entry in the Land Before Time saga, The Big Freeze, is not as good as the previous film The Stone Of Cold Fire, but it still manages to stand on its own. Just as Stone of Cold Fire focuses more on Petrie, The Big Freeze puts Ducky and Spike into the limelight. This marks the first time that we see any stegosaurs other than Spike, which is significant because before this point all that Spike knew was Ducky's family. So when Spike befriends Tippy, a young member of the visiting spiketail herd, it's suggested that he spend more time with them. Meanwhile, Ducky is torn between letting Spike go with the migrants once they leave or having him stay with her. I won't give anything more away but I will say that this is yet another enjoyable entry in the series. As mentioned, it's not as good as the previous one but it still manages to have much of the same charm and I like how, just as Stone of Cold Fire did with Petrie, it gives Ducky and Spike a chance to be in the spotlight and gives the viewer a chance to get a glimpse into their lives. Mr. Thicknose is also very interesting, especially when he tells the story of his life. It helps that he has the same voice actor as Rafiki from The Lion King. But the highlight for me is simply adorable relationship shared by Ducky and Spike, who despite any differences seem like true siblings.

allyball-63124 Another good sequel! I know, what dimension is this? The family dynamic in this movie is almost as good as the first movie. They really dive into what a family is and how it functions. The connection is very deep and it made Ducky's mom a good character! Speaking of Ducky, she is developed very well here and I liked how they portrayed the sibling relationship between Spike and Ducky. It was also one of the only Land Before Time movies that doesn't talk down to it's audience. The solution to getting back into the valley isn't actually that obvious giving the movie higher stakes and let's the audience focus on the adventure and heart-felt, deep moments. The final scene where Spike nearly drowns and his "mother" saves him was just outstanding! In conclusion, I once considered this the best sequel but then another sequel came along. Heck, I could go on and on about how deep this movie is but I want to keep this a short review because I might repeat myself if I go on anymore.

TheLittleSongbird While a long way from being the worst, this sequel isn't the best either. It does benefit from some nice colourful animation, a sweet story and a sterling vocal turn from Robert Guillaume(who also voiced Rafiki in "The Lion King"). Actually in general the whole voice cast was very well done. However, while sweet the songs aren't exactly memorable, some of the dialogue is a little on the corny side and the film is too short. I may be alone as well in thinking the singing was a tad weak, Guillaume has done much better singing before.Overall, I do recommend it for kids, they will definitely love it. However depending on whether you loved the first film, I did, or how old you are, others may find it disappointing. It does do the right thing though, provides decent entertainment for its target audience. 5.5/10 Bethany Cox

Cylex Although the original film (10/10) can never be matched, this heartwarming sequel comes close. This time Ducky & Spike take centre stage as their "sibling" relationship is tested. They love each other but know that they are different. Spike faces a difficult decision when a herd of spiketails, including a cute infant, invite him to join them. The friends see snow for the first time and learn how it can be good and bad. The story has laughter, tears & adventure. The characters are as loveable as ever and the songs are not unpleasant. I am proud to own all 8 films and this is one of the best. (9/10) I look forward to future releases. Long live the Land Before Time!
