Summary: Even a 15 year old loves this movie.
Review:
For some reason, it appears alot of people don't like this particular series in the series of 10. Me? I adore it! I'd have to say it's my 3rd or 4th favorite (Though I have yet to see 7, 8, 9, or 10)
I'm 15 now, will be 16 in 2 months, and I've been watching Land Before Time for as long as I can remember. They're a huge part of my heart and forever will be.

And this particular series... #4.... I could watch OVER, and OVER again.

...I love it. Period.

Summary: Dinobore film.
Review: Despite the characters being as strong as they ever were, this is without doubt the weakest of the series. The main problem is with the villains (a beak-happy bird and a crocodile), who are uninteresting and irritating. Anyway, shouldn't villains in this series be dinosaurs? The whole thing is also slow-moving and dull. It's true that Part 3 was going to be a hard act to follow, but it seems this film didn't even bother trying to do so.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Obnoxious, mean characters ruin this episode
Review: I have really like the first 3 episodes in this series, and my young kids have, too. Our viewing has coincided with an interest in dinosaurs by my 4 year-old son. So, he's learned a lot about dinosaurs from them. And the movies are wholesome and promote friendship and good behavior.

THIS EPISODE WAS A HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT BECAUSE OF THE MEAN-SPIRITED BANTERING OF THE TWO VILLAINS. The prehistoric crocodile and pterasaur (dinosaur bird) are constantly telling each other how much they "hate" each other. There is a song they sing back and forth about how "I need you like a hold in the head" and that type of thing. And their voices are terribly annoying.

I was immediately uncomfortable, but then I heard my son starting to say this stuff to his sister...

HEY, I KNOW THE KIDS ARE GOING TO PICK UP MEAN LANGUAGE SOMEWHERE, BUT WHY ENCOURAGE IT?

MY ADVICE: LAND BEFORE TIME I-III DO NOT SUFFER FROM THIS LOW LANGUAGE.

Summary: regret buying this one
Review: I was very disappointed with this title having seen V which was MUCH better. The story line plodded along and the villians were more irritating than funny. The songs weren't appealing to my 3-year old.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Not my favorite, but good overall...
Review: In this film, Littlefoot's grandpa gets sick with a fever. The only cure is for him to eat a golden nightflower. But there's a problem; it grows in "The Land of Mists", a place off limits to all dinos. Of course, dear old grandpa can't die can he? So Littlefoot, Cera, Ducky, Petrie, Spike, and their new friend Ali, set off to find the golden flower. Which they do (while dodging a few obstacles along the way). Nightflower found? Check. Grandpa lives? Check. Overall, it's a cute, fun little movie that the kids will probably enjoy. Ignore those two bad guys though...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I LOVE IT!
Review: It's the best! My favorite character is Ali and Littlefoot. My favorite song is, "It Takes all sorts" And I have number 12347 but I want to see six! Anyway it's great for kids of all ages! Own it today! I also sing the song by heart.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Journey Through the Mists
Review: Journey into the Mists captivated both my children (3 and 5 years old), my wife and me. It is a story of courage, acceptance of others (hence the song "It takes all kinds"), and family ties. This movie is based upon the original Land Before Time video and is yet another sequel in this very popular series.

In this story, Little Foot meets another small long neck named Allie. Allie is afraid of other dinosaurs because she has only been among other long necks. As part of a band of migrating long necks, she and her family come into the Great Valley while fleeing their former home, which has become a misty swamp that they now derisively call "The Land of Mists." After their arrival, Grandpa Longneck faill mysteriously ill and the migratory long necks identify his malady and proscribe a cure - a plant that only grows in the Land of Mists. Little Foot wants to go to find the mysterious plant, and he needs Allie's help. Allie refuses, however, to go unless Little Foot's friends do not come along.

Herein lies the most positive part of this tale - Allie must get over her fear of other dinosaurs if she is to be of help to Little Foot and the others. She has to learn that accept and work with those who are different from herself.

The story resolves, and the children learn valuable lessons. This story also includes a couple of very funny villians who are constantly telling each how worthless they are. These two cracked us up, but their constant bantering and bickering might be a little over the top for very small children. My two laughed and laughed for hours on end. We found that it was important to explain that this behavior is inappropriate and this is why it is funny. This was easily done, since the story shows that these two end up working against each other most of the time and not with each other.

I highly recommend this video. There are some tender moments in this video and some great songs. I would however caution parents with very small children, since there are two villians who are not very nice to anyone. My three and five year old really liked it, but for children younger than that, I would exercise caution.
