This was the last "Land Before Time" movie, at least for awhile. It's one of the worst in the whole series, although it doesn't really have much of a lower rating than most of the other sequels. This movie features Littlefoot and his friends finding a bunch of dinosaurs called yellow bellies. They need to help them find their herd. Halfway through the movie, they actually do, so the movie's over, right? Nope. It just extends into an even more pointless movie as the gang helps the yellow bellies around. Oh, and the sharptooths appear and are weaker than ever.One even has a massive scar and he can't do anything! Anyway, the animation probably isn't worse than the other movies. What makes this worse is that these yellow bodies are so annoying. They have these bad voices and are mostly dumb. We have to deal with these guys the whole movie and they're easily the worst guest characters in the movies. We get some moral about following more on instinct than wisdom or something like that. It's very clichéd and makes for a lame movie. *1/2

I am going to be incredibly blunt here. This is the absolute worst animated movie I have ever seen in my entire life beating out Charlotte's Web 2, Mars Needs Moms and The Secret of Nimh 2! The yellow bellies are extremely obnoxious! They never shut up, they're movements are almost as over exaggerated and hyper as Flint Lockwood, they're dumb and delirious as heck! Seriously, there's one scene in the canyon where the yellow bellies are sitting there eating berries while there are Sharpteeth running towards them! What do they notice? Not a dang thing! By the way, this movie could've ended if Littlefoot took his friends' requests and just left the yellow bellies to go on the rest of their journey alone! Seriously, every character is an idiot, not just the yellow bellies. The group are all having to relearn lessons that they already mastered movies ago! Also, this is kind of a nitpick compared to everything else but the overabundance of CGI was too much to bear. Okay back to the yellow bellies for one final time, what is with the comedy surrounding them?! This movie seems to have an obsession with dinosaur butts! Seriously, those were every joke surrounding the yellow bellies! Another horrible thing in this movie is the songs! God these songs are so pretentious and obnoxious! The first song in unnecessary and annoying, the second song is unnecessary and annoying and the third song is unnecessary and annoying! Actually, that pretty much sums up the entire movie, unnecessary and annoying!

I decided to rewrite this review after watching the movie again.Let me start off by saying I'm a big fan of the Land Before Time series, and it's changed my life more than anything else I can think of. With that taken care of, I will tell you why I gave this movie a seven out of ten rating.It starts off pretty normal and fun. The way The Land Before Time should be. But as time goes on, you seem to notice the humor is a little different, the words are more basic, and it just keeps getting wilder from there. I know the yellowbellies are supposed to be weird and different, but this goes too far. Sometimes even the main gang was acting out of character. The story, while venturing into the mysterious beyond, did not have high enough stakes. It was more of a moral-learning story than anything else, and even then, the morals were a little bit too easy to recognize. That being said, the voices of the characters were great. However, they changed Littlefoot's voice (again!), and now he sounds like a mix between Aaron Spann (Land Before Time XI) and Scott McAfee (Land Before Time II-IV)--perhaps a little Brandon LaCroix (Land Before Time V) in there; and while I like Scott McAfee's voice, Cody Arens' (Land Before Time XIII) voice did not really fit what you expect from Littlefoot. The background artistry was great, the animation very good, and Michael Tavera doing his magic with the orchestral music. One or two of the songs were kind of catchy, but if you notice, it's a leap back from what Michele Brourman and Amanda McBroom normally do. A different style. I don't know if they were told to do it that way, but it doesn't sell as well as some of their other fabulous work on the other Land Before Time sequels. I heard from a source that this movie also had a lower budget. Also, notice how the main director and producer isn't Charles Grosvenor.All-in-all, it was a light-hearted, TV episode-style movie, with all of your favorite friends. Long time fans will still enjoy this movie, as well as the new young watchers!

Having enjoyed most of the sequels, particularly Stone of Cold Fire, Time of the Great Giving and Great Valley Adventure, I was greatly disappointed in this sequel and consider it the worst of the franchise. The voice acting is a redeeming quality and the film moved quickly, but everything else didn't work for me. This sequel does have disappointingly lacklustre animation, complete with choppy editing, and the music is forgettable at best. Other cons are clichéd and lazy dialogue, an episodic plot and the voice acting is only variable, some are good but others are not great at all. As for the characters, Littlefoot is at his least likable and heroic, and Petrie is annoying. And Cera? I know people say she is bratty, but here she is really bratty. Overall, disappointing and almost unwatchable for me. 2/10 Bethany Cox
