At long last we arrive at the 10th installment in the Land Before Time series. It turns out that both Littlefoot and his grandparents have been having a recurring dream where the sun goes dark and falls from the sky. It turns out that other longnecks all over the place have been having this same dream and have all decided to go on a trip, which Littlefoot's friends eventually decide to follow along on. I won't give anything more away but when he and his grandparents arrive at their destination, he meets someone unexpected and very special. Overall, this may just be the best sequel since Stone of Cold Fire. The animation quality is declining (though still good for
direct-to-video) and I didn't care much for the songs in this one where in the previous movies I was able to find at least one song that I liked. But with that said, it's very nice that Littlefoot gets another figure in his life and I like that Littlefoot's mother is mentioned.

This is another entry in the neverending "Land Before Time" series and it isn't that terrible. I admit that it's been a long time since I've seen the series and it was at least nice to see all the characters again. I mean, they don't really do anything outrageously out of character in this. This movie features a great longneck migration but that only makes up less than half of the actual movie. This movie features Littlefoot having a dream about a migration which all the other dinosaurs have, which is kind of weird. All the longnecks go to this one place while Littlefoot's friends follow their tracks.They actually did do something kind of nice and that's introduce Littlefoot's father. Honestly, these scenes are pretty good because in such a long running series they actually are making some important new revelations about the main characters. Of course, this is far from saving the film. It's amazing how the original film from 1988 has animation that easily surpasses this. The songs are pretty annoying, but at least it's better than "George Of The Jungle 2". Then again, what wouldn't be? **

As a loyal L.B.T. fan, I swooped on this & was amazed. Littlefoot sets out with his grandparents to discover the meaning of a dream. His friends can't resist following and soon get into trouble. Meanwhile Littlefoot makes an astonishing discovery. This milestone film has quality animation, talented guest stars, cute songs and sympathetic new characters. Olivia Newton John lends her fantastic voice to the end credits. Grease is my favourite musical so this was a real thrill. My only quibble is that Ali, the female longneck from IV did not return. Opportunity lost.And if they make XI, I'll be first in line. 9/10

********BEWARE OF POSSIBLE SPOILERS!*************The Land Before Time was one of my favorite movies when I was around 4-5. It actually taught me about death. It's a cherished childhood memory, therefore I'd like to see it treated with a little respect. Instead I've seen it abused over the years, milked for sequels whenever the studio goes broke. Each one is worse than the last, chock full of fruity singing. So wasn't I surprised when I saw LBT X!Honestly, it's like a breath of fresh air after being stuck downwind from a fart. Where do I begin? First of all, the voice acting is better. Instead of paying some homeless guy with a sandwich and a roll of toilet paper, some actual celebrities were hired. And who should be supplying the voice of the most important character, but Kiefer Sutherland! This is a big thing for me, I'm a huge Kiefer fan. So much that I don't really give a toot about other important people voicing other important longnecks.Second of all, the plot of the first movie ties in with this one. In all the other sequels, Littlefoot is just happy as a clam and never mentions or even thinks about his mother. For the love of cake, people, she died in front of him! If your mother was shredded apart by a vicious dinosaur and you were left to survive yourself, would you be frolicking around singing songs? I don't know about you, but I'd be cowering in my "safe corner". Not to mention Littlefoot's home is rife with morons. But not in this movie. Here, a series of dreams leads Littlefoot to a place where he meets his father. Finally he's forced to take off his rose-colored sunglasses and remember his past. The result is a movie that's at least somewhat mature.A nicely thought out plot (parts actually mirror a fan fiction story I wrote), Kiefer Sutherland voicing Littlefoot's father, and I really don't think there were quite as many songs. All together I'm more than satisfied with this movie. Granted, there are better cartoons out there to entertain you. But if you were a fan of the first movie and are disgusted with the sugary sequels, I think you'll find Land Before Time X pleasantly refreshing.
