In my opinion all of the land before time sequels mostly range from good to pretty awesome, with the lowest score I will give is 7.5. Wisdom of friends is the sole exception here.Now when this movie starts it's pretty standard for this series, and it looks like we're getting a plot about Littlefoot losing his confidence and having to gain it back. Perfect that alone would hold the movie for at least a good hour, but no sadly we needed to get this plot going so we can get to the actual main plot of the movie.So after the first song, we are introduced to pretty much the land before time Cleveland of Jar jar binks, the Yellow bellies. Why do I say their like Jar Jar well a couple reasons.First from the scene their introduced all the way until the end these things are always on screen and around the middle mark the staff who made this decided just three of them was lazy and try to shove a whole herd of them down our throats. Someone obviously really wants us to like them so they shove as many as they can in our face as they can.Like Jar jar these guys do not go through any sort of character development, they are exactly the same from start to finish, and worse is that they shove the main characters aside.Littlefoot's plot is relegated to the b plot, and the other four have no major roles aside from being support for Littlefoot which in any other movie would be fine, except the focus their not getting is instead put over at far less interesting characters.The only reason this film isn't a lower rating is cause Littlefoot and the others stay in character through the whole movie. Like I said his thing about losing confidence is very interesting and I wanted to see that resolved at the very least. These characters interactions are always very good and well done.What's worse is that for a long time this looked like the big finale to the whole thing, thank you Journey of the Brave for existing.

most people say they did not like it, but the truth is it was a beautiful film. up to my knowledge the land before time is made for the enjoyment and so that the viewers can learn about real life. this particular film is very sweet. the new characters are full of joy and happiness. when it started i thought great they totally ruined it but as you get to know the characters more you see that they just added what was missing, they can never make it worse they can only make it better.i have loved the land before time since i was just a young girl, of course back then it was new. the more i watched it the more i fell in love with the characters. this movie just made me love them more.give it a chance watch it more than once if you have too.

I decided to rewrite this review after watching the movie again.Let me start off by saying I'm a big fan of the Land Before Time series, and it's changed my life more than anything else I can think of. With that taken care of, I will tell you why I gave this movie a seven out of ten rating.It starts off pretty normal and fun. The way The Land Before Time should be. But as time goes on, you seem to notice the humor is a little different, the words are more basic, and it just keeps getting wilder from there. I know the yellowbellies are supposed to be weird and different, but this goes too far. Sometimes even the main gang was acting out of character. The story, while venturing into the mysterious beyond, did not have high enough stakes. It was more of a moral-learning story than anything else, and even then, the morals were a little bit too easy to recognize. That being said, the voices of the characters were great. However, they changed Littlefoot's voice (again!), and now he sounds like a mix between Aaron Spann (Land Before Time XI) and Scott McAfee (Land Before Time II-IV)--perhaps a little Brandon LaCroix (Land Before Time V) in there; and while I like Scott McAfee's voice, Cody Arens' (Land Before Time XIII) voice did not really fit what you expect from Littlefoot. The background artistry was great, the animation very good, and Michael Tavera doing his magic with the orchestral music. One or two of the songs were kind of catchy, but if you notice, it's a leap back from what Michele Brourman and Amanda McBroom normally do. A different style. I don't know if they were told to do it that way, but it doesn't sell as well as some of their other fabulous work on the other Land Before Time sequels. I heard from a source that this movie also had a lower budget. Also, notice how the main director and producer isn't Charles Grosvenor.All-in-all, it was a light-hearted, TV episode-style movie, with all of your favorite friends. Long time fans will still enjoy this movie, as well as the new young watchers!

Having enjoyed most of the sequels, particularly Stone of Cold Fire, Time of the Great Giving and Great Valley Adventure, I was greatly disappointed in this sequel and consider it the worst of the franchise. The voice acting is a redeeming quality and the film moved quickly, but everything else didn't work for me. This sequel does have disappointingly lacklustre animation, complete with choppy editing, and the music is forgettable at best. Other cons are clichéd and lazy dialogue, an episodic plot and the voice acting is only variable, some are good but others are not great at all. As for the characters, Littlefoot is at his least likable and heroic, and Petrie is annoying. And Cera? I know people say she is bratty, but here she is really bratty. Overall, disappointing and almost unwatchable for me. 2/10 Bethany Cox
