Until now, I have watched every sequel to the beloved Land Before Time (1988). From the fifth installment on, I actually must confess that they have almost solidified on a decent level of quality. The film is a little slow in the first approximately 15 minutes, but when the snow kicks in, the good stuff does too. The film has pretty backgrounds and good messages about identity and family. Most of the songs are also serving the movie and the story well, and what more can you ask for from a direct-to-DVD film? I can't be mad at this film. Yeah, 8th sequel in an everlasting line of them, I know. I like it and will not feel guilty if I in the future will be showing it to my kids.

Another good sequel! I know, what dimension is this? The family dynamic in this movie is almost as good as the first movie. They really dive into what a family is and how it functions. The connection is very deep and it made Ducky's mom a good character! Speaking of Ducky, she is developed very well here and I liked how they portrayed the sibling relationship between Spike and Ducky. It was also one of the only Land Before Time movies that doesn't talk down to it's audience. The solution to getting back into the valley isn't actually that obvious giving the movie higher stakes and let's the audience focus on the adventure and heart-felt, deep moments. The final scene where Spike nearly drowns and his "mother" saves him was just outstanding! In conclusion, I once considered this the best sequel but then another sequel came along. Heck, I could go on and on about how deep this movie is but I want to keep this a short review because I might repeat myself if I go on anymore.

this movie is probably one of THE most amazing movies ever ... some of my friends laugh cause i still watch these movies to this day ... I've been watching them for 15 years and i never get sick of them. .i hope that they end up making at least 20 .. because i know that i will still be watching them . and to the person that insulted them before YOU SUCK .. cause I'm sure almost everyone agrees how AWESOME all the Land Before Times are : ) me and my friends watch it all the time .. and were 15 and 16 years old. and we STILL love iti think that everyone should watch this movie .. because land before time is RED HOT !!!!!!!! :D:D:D:D:D

Boy that Universal really knows how to milk (or should I say "Mine") a franchise to death, these sequels seem to get cheaper & cheaper every time, it's really sickning that one of Don Bluth's classic mytho's is getting buchered more & more with near low quality sequels like this, I wonder how Don feels about this?I'm sure glad MGM didn't take The Secret Of Nimh to the same direction as Land Before Time (hey, one dog ugly sequel was bad enough), if there's ever a Land Before Time 9, I think they should try "Land Before Time IX, The Mushroom Cloud".
