Why is this movie called The "Great" Day of the Flyers? There's nothing great about this movie. Same goes for the Great Valley Adventure. Anyways onto the review, this movie is just kind of okay. The new character Guido is annoying, (though thankfully not as bad as Mo)the filler is boring and unnecessary, and there's no sense of adventure or fantasy that made the others good. Other than that, this movie is kind of meh. The themes are generic but heartfelt, Petrie is likable here and I like the subplot with Cer, Tria and Tricia. I also liked the second song with Cera. Honestly, the movie was pretty good until the first song and that one filler scene with Guido sleepwalking. Also, as a toddler I knew that Guido was a flying dinosaur! Yeah, you might want to edit your script if a toddler can figure out your stupid twist. Oh well, at least this movie is still cute and entertaining which earns some points back.

There is a bit of an 'Ugly Duckling' theme going on with Petrie (and also with Guido) and it also shows how a new sibling as a kid can feel. The song 'Flip, Flap and Fly' is quite good and catchy and will make you feel more happy for Petrie. As usual, with all the HD 'Land Before Time' movies, it is bright and colourful. I am sure all Land Before Time fans will like this as well as children. I have given this a 7/10 because it is a very decent 'Land Before Time' sequel and isn't one of the worst and teaches that it is better to be yourself and make a revolution than trying to fit in when deep down you don't. In some parts of the movie, it probably does drag on a bit such as a certain scene near the middle-end. Overall, it is a good 'Land Before Time' sequel.
... View MoreThe Great Day of the Flyers tells the story of Petrie who has unusual trouble with his flying. Enter Guido, a strange looking creature, who isn't particularly memorable, but a nice character as far as the film goes.As for the film, it is average, but it is one of the better sequels, Time of the Great Giving being the best. The animation isn't too bad, and the characters are still likable. The film does have a sense of cuteness and fun, and one of the main reasons why I saw it was for Ducky, and besides having a different voice actress, she is still the sweet character I fell in love with in the original, which is a beautiful poignant movie, that I still adore at 17.The film does have its faults, I did find the music forgettable, and the dialogue wasn't always as inspiring as it could have been. The story isn't the best in terms of execution, and the film, like the other sequels, further suffers from being too short.Overall, a cute and sweet movie, that is average at best compared to the original, but on its own, it is fun to watch, but perhaps forgettable after a few days. 5/10 Bethany Cox
... View MoreI was pleased to collect this latest installment of the series, especially since my favourite character, Petrie, got centre stage. Watch out for cameos from the past, during a flying sequence. Knowing all too well the cruelty of children's team games, Petrie's formation problems invite immediate sympathy. A strange new friend, Guida, helps Petrie realise his individual worth. Meanwhile Cera has a new rival in her father's affections - a baby sister! The inevitable songs are easy on the ear, but forgettable. The first film worked well without them. The colourful 2D animation is impressive. Shame the form is mainly confined to instant DVD now. One of the themes - everything changes - does cause unintentional mirth, considering that this is the 12th adventure. There have been changes to the environment, but the young heroes have stayed exactly the same. 9/10
