Critic Reviews

    Milking the dinosaur franchise once again, and still OK fare for kiddies.

  • Douglas Pratt, DVDLaser

    There are sufficient action scenes, however, to keep small persons attentive, and enough plot (the valley where the creatures live runs out of water and they argue over rationing while searching for a new source) to hold the action together.

  • Alex Sandell, Juicy Cerebellum

    These movies are always good family fun.

  • Steve Rhodes, Internet Reviews

    ... sweet and harmless little story that will delight kids who are into the series, but the underdeveloped and formulaic story line will disappoint adult viewers.

    I think this is where the series took a turn for the worst. They had an entire musical element to this, which really made me lose all faith. The animation was degraded even further and the dialogue is even more corny. I think it should've been left as one movie.

    Slight improvement over number 2. The Time of the Great Giving has Littlefoot and Co. trying to find water for the great valley. I had weird flashbacks during this film, as a trailer for it was on the Balto VHS I used to own. So certain lines transported me back 14 years. The songs… More

    In the third installment to The Land Before Time the Great Valley is struck by comets falling from the skies. The concept and morals are still there. This time we focus on sharing as the movie really shows kids how to be less wasteful and share with those who are in need. Truly… More
