The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

The Land Before Time was one of my favorite movies growing up, and it still is. The magic of this timeless adventure never gets old and when I watch it, it brings back a lot of memories. This movie (and Jurassic Park) is what got me to love dinosaurs in the first place.This story comes from the minds of George Lucas and Steven Spielberg and I have to say it is one of their greatest cartoon movies that I have ever seen. The story is about a young brontosaurus who's family is traveling to a paradise on earth known as the great valley, but trouble comes when a "Sharp tooth" or Tyrannosaurus Rex attacks, injures his mother, and she eventually dies. Now alone, Little Foot as he is known journeys on his own and eventually runs into Cera a Triceratops, Ducky a duck billed dinosaur, Spike a Stegosaurus, and Petry Pteranodon. Together they journey and have there ups and downs but eventually become good friends. And Together they defeat Sharp Tooth and make it to the great valley.This childhood classic will never get old for me and no matter how old I get I will continue to watch it. And hopefully I can share it with my own children someday. It's a good movie and a good story, kids might get frightened with Sharp Tooth as the film makes him out to be kind of scary, but all in all it's a good story that teaches life lessons of not giving up, friendship, having to not always be right and making mistakes, and having hope for the future. I consider this Lucas's and Spielberg's greatest Kids film, the part where Little Foot loses his mother is heartbreaking and one of the most sad parts of the film. But The Land Before Time is a fun adventure that you will not only love but your kids will love. 10/10 for The Land Before Time

I had very fond memories of watching "The Land Before Time" - well over 20 years ago. It was a very simple, easy to follow, and very subtly a teaching moment type of movie. Of course, being a child of around 6 years of age at its release, the teaching moment was simply "DINOSAURS! COOOOL!!"Fast forward a couple of decades. Having scrolled through a vast online movie depository - come on, does it matter which one? - the title "The Land Before Time" triggers a memory. "D-D-D-D-DAAANGEE- E-E-RRRR!" Hmm. My kids are at school - I say let's board the bus and go hit up memory lane!Two days later, after having watched it twice myself, once with my two kids - twice - I started deeply analyzing why this had struck such a chord. I could find absolutely nothing I disliked, nothing that my adult sensibilities would have outgrown. The characters were as innocent, innovative and wily as I had found them to be so long ago. The animation is lively, seamless and warm. The painted backgrounds are vivid, colorful and primal. The score serves to solidify the personalities, the predicaments and the victories of the characters that it is underpinning. The voice acting, especially the youngest of the cast, is heartfelt, brought to life by talented children who, by all accounts, loved their involvement in the production.The combination of Bluth, Goldman, Pomeroy, Spielberg, Lucas and Horner at the helm produced a beloved, classic and timeless movie that nearly 30 years of age has done absolutely nothing to tarnish. No wonder, then, that it was the highest grossing animated film of the, well, time!My children are fond this movie, sure...but I like to think that I found a conduit to my own happy childhood memories, amplified when my kids come in close and accompany me on that memory lane field trip. At this rate, they might tire of "The Land Before Time" sooner than their father. It's a chance I'm willing to take!"The Land Before Time" gets 10 of 10 stars.

"Land before time" is the most beautiful animated feature of hand-drawn animation history. The characters are excellently drawn,the story is great and the voice cast is wonderful. Though it is rated G, it does contain some really scary moments. The death of Littlefoot's mother is so touching, that I nearly cried. The feature should be awarded an Oscar for the Best Animated Feature and an Oscar for the Best Song: "If we hold on together".In conclusion,this movie is as almost as good as "Snow White and the seven dwarfs".Children of ages 7+ should see it.

So, people think Lion King or Beauty and The Beast are the best animation and belongs in top 250 of IMDb list right? Ahah, i bet not many people have watched The Land Before Time.To be honest, Lion King is way overrated and BATB not as touching as TLBT which is not suppose to be in top 250 list (don't get me wrong, both Lion King and BATB are still an excellent movie). This one here is definitely worth it and on par with Snow white or Pinocchio.The only problems with this movie is the movie is too short, only 70mins. Lots of sequels have been made, i think around 12 sequels. But non came close to this original masterpiece.I won't give further comment, go get this one on DVD and watch it!ps : Already watch for 25 times and gonna watch again and again until I die :)10/10 (AAA++)
