Theodore M Apr 9, 2019 Anyone that dislikes this movie deserves to die. Too hyperbolic? Nope, I stand by that statement. Any of the people that didn't like it, keep watching it until you learn to appreciate and enjoy it. It's a harrowing tale about how delicate and tragic life truly is. The illusion of forever is always a moment away from becoming untethered and once the cracks of the facade of permanence begin to show, we begin to understand our own mortality and the true pain of love and loss. Pablo Neruda once wrote, "love is so short, forgetting is so long". So true, Pablo. Yep, yep, yep. See more

Abraham L Apr 6, 2019 The first and only Land Before Time you should. The animation is stunning, the characters cute and relatable, and tells a mature and intense coming of age story using something kids love, a perfect example of a family film. See more

Theodore S Mar 2, 2019 Just like The Secret of NIMH and An American Tail and just like The Secret of NIMH, The Land Before Time is another one of those movies I've watched on Cartoon Network the first time. I only seen this twice as a kid and by that time, I still remembered it to this day. The story I suppose is similar to Bambi, is about a young longneck named Littlefoot who befriends with Cera and the Tyrannosaurus rex known as Sharptooth and the earthquake seperated the families of Littlefoot and Cera. So now it's up to Littlefoot to go find the Great Valley along with his friends, Cera, Ducky, Petrie and Spike. OK, so this movie is really short for about one hour even similar. Actually that how Don Bluth wanted it to be. He wanted to make it similar to Bambi but only with dinosaurs. That explains it the running time! What's even more is that it released in the exact same weekend as Oliver and Company which is my favourite Disney film. They actually prefer to go see The Land Before Time over Oliver and Company. Cause the message in this says it teaches dinosaurs about prejudice between the different species and the hardships they endure in their journey. Steven Spielberg uses the inspiration to Jurassic Park which is always amazing. Okay, while I was thinking about this, it never had any songs apart from the one in the end credits by Diana Ross. It never became a musical and for a fact this is not the only one. In most animated movies, they're never claim as musicals, Disney is and sometimes Dreamworks. It spawned many sequels which I've never watched before and the TV show. However I remember it being on Boomerang. So once again as a Don Bluth fan, I love this movie even when I remember watching it as a kid. Such a phenomenon! See more
