Summary: The three things your child may learn from this video...
Review: 1)to behave just like Cera (or in other words--like a brat) 2)to head-butt (think: younger sibling) and, 3)to used improper English ("me want..."). I had to pull the plug on this movie after I figured out where my 3 year old was picking up these annoying, new habits. She, and I'm sure others, thought the dinosaurs were cute--I beg to differ. Cera is quite negative and bratty and also happens to be the only girl dinosaur in the movie--hmmm. Probably a so-so movie for kids that aren't affected too much by what they watch but I would think twice before purchasing it for an impressionable child.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: My 3 year old loves it! and so do I, kinda.
Review: I would never have, by any measure, thought these movies would be worthwhile. But my 3 year old loves all of them. He has his favorites . . . going back to The Great Adventure and the Big Freeze. But he wanted Journey to Big Water as soon as he saw it advertised. And as he watched it the first time, he got the threat of danger and suspense involved which, of course, went right past me. He had many comments and breath-taking moments and has watched it at least once a day since. He is very involved with the adventures of his favorite characters once again. Plus he really liked the new characters, Mo and the menacing Sharp Tooth Swimmer.

I'm happy to be able to give my son cheap entertainment like that. If only he could watch Land Before Time Live, his life would be complete! Seriously though, he was just as or even more fascinated with the movie as he was with The Lion King on Broadway show, and that trip cost a small fortune. He loves the TV games included, the sing-a-long songs, the JumpStart Video . . . everything! Sooooo ... I give it 5 stars because he is totally engaged and entertained.

The music isn't that drippy and inferior, either. I mean, you would think that the 9th in the series would be BAD, but it's really not. I guess I'm easy to please too, but the music is alright. Plus, I like the Donny Osmond song at the end so much that I am considering buying his CD. And that is amazing, considering I'm not an Osmond fan by any stretch of the imagination. So there you have it. Buy the DVD for your preschooler and let him have a ball, and know that there are a few touches for adults too.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: I don't like it; my four-year-old does.
Review: I've enjoyed the eight previous Land Before Time adventures, but not this one. Rent it before you buy it. I'm glad I did. I feel the animation and dialogue are not as good as others, the voices are different and more irritating, and Cera is more negative than usual. I realize that this review is also negative and may not get many helpful votes from readers...but really, I'm not criticizing just to criticize. Rent before you buy.

Summary: Great Movie
Review: My 2 yr old son loved this movie. It is his favorite and we have about 5 out of the series so far (don't waste your money on Through the Mists). He especially loves Moe and was thrilled when he went to the beach for the first time and got to see dolphins playing in the surf. It really connected for him the "big water" and Moe the dolphin-like swimmer. Yes Cera, as usual, is bratty and ugly but who doesn't have one of those kind of kids in their acquaintance. In the end she figures out it was really her insecurity causing her jealousy for no reason. Unfortunately our dvd has developed a spot where it freezes and I will have to purchase another one but it is worth it for the joy it brings my little man. This is a great video despite some of the other reviews and worth the money.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Another Great Land Before Time Movie!
Review: My girls are ages 3 & 4 and Love this movie, along with all of the other LBT movies. I like it too! They meet a new friend and the songs are so catchy. As always, there is a lesson to be learned here & kids will enjoy watching it over & over, not realizing they are learning something! If you've liked any of the others, you'll like this one!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: The English Issues.
Review: Personally, I would love it if the characters spoke in a correct grammatical manner, but in real life there are many adults who cannot do that, so it would be unreasonable to expect child characters to do so. ( Besides, children watching the film probably would not notice, or be bothered if they did .)
Also, correct me if I am wrong, but I always thought that Ducky was female, so Cera is not the only girl in the group.
I enjoyed the film, but I think my favorite so far is " The Big Freeze " : I have a soft spot for Spike.
I am looking forward to number ten " The Great Migration " coming out in this country, though I do not know when that will be.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: STOP!!!
Review: Please stop these horrid cheapquels. The animation & songs are increasingly horrible with each sequel. The original movie in this series is a classic (which I'd buy in a heartbeat if it was offered in widescreen). As soon as Don Bluth passes away he will begin turning over in his grave. Children over the age of 5 (unless they have had a lobotomy) will leave the room if you put any of the sequels in your dvd player.

Rating: 4 stars

fav!!! my fav is 1!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: FANTABULOUS
Review: The story of Little Foot's journey to big water is an appropriate sequel to its predecessor, Time of Much Snow, because it certainly would melt, or they would have died. The correlations to the Odyssey in the movie are amazing and educating, such as the Isle of Lotus Eaters. The complex conflicts between the traditional friends touches me because I have had the same ones before. I found the reincaration of Little Foot's grandmother to be particularly astounding, and I could not stop crying for days. I just would like Ducky to stop saying "Yup Yup" because it is driving me crazy.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great series!
Review: This is just one of a great series of movies...My 3 year old daughter wanted The Great Longneck Migration and from there it was history...I have been buying her every one I can in the series...This one in particular seems to be one of her favorites...She's been watching each of the 4 we have so far over and over(with 3 more on the way from Amazon)...Although the the issue of 'bad grammar' could be irritating to some adults, I think it is nothing compared to what some TV programs "teach" our kids...Better than sponge bob thats for sure!...Great movie...
