Plot: Animation producer Don Bluth's fondness for overly cutesy characters and muddy color compositions work to the benefit of his feature-length cartoon The Land Before Time. Littlefoot, a brontosaurus child, must fend for himself when his mother is killed (shades of Bambi). With several other orphaned dinosaurs, Littlefoot seeks out the fabled Great Valley, where food and shelter is plentiful. Along the way, the kiddie dinos learn several vital (and politically correct) life lessons, all the while keeping themselves scarce whenever the fierce tyrannosauri gallumph into view. The cuteness of the characters (emphasized by the voice work) takes some of the harsh edges off the story, which makes the film eminently suitable for younger children; and the smeary color design is ideal for the time-frame of the film, which is set in the turbulent, nature-run-rampant period just before the dinosaurs died out. Apparently they didn't all die, inasmuch as a Land Before Time sequel was released on video in 1994. The earlier film inspired a 1988 Saturday morning cartoon series produced by Ruby-Spears, Dink: The Little Dinosaur. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

I actually have all but one or two of this series. With Great Grandkids coming over..It's nice to be able to introduce them to clean family entertainment! There is a moral in each one if you look and they a all delightful. Have gone through 5 grandkids and 3 great grandkids with this series!

I recently purchased The Land Before Time for my 3 year old grandson, who is really into dinosaurs. He loved it as much as my children did when they first saw it. It brought back such fond memories for us. This movie will never go out of date.

I love this movie. It reminds me that every moment of life should be cherished and spent with family and friends, when possible. I usually watch it with my daughter, it brings back memories of when she was a baby watching it on my knee.

Great story, great voice acting, great film, deep meaning. A true classic.
