Critic Reviews

Alex Sandell, Juicy Cerebellum
Entertaining enough family film.
Steve Rhodes, Internet Reviews
Just like shows for grownups, successful kids' movies are susceptible to the excessive sequel syndrome.

Littlefoot becomes more like Indiana Jones in this outing. His grandfather is dying so he must find a golden flower that will cure him. The animation is less detailed than before, with there certainly being many depth issues. The songs are very bland, but this means that you don't really notice them, making it an unexpected plus. An addition of a female version of Littlefoot does nothing to spice up proceedings, and the villains are just hungry oafs. All the characters from the original, apart from Littlefoot and Cera, are reduced to retarded, grammatical nightmares. Yes, they were like this in the original, but why not explore them a bit more rather than relying on their "cute" factor?

The last Land Before Time installment I watched before I banished Littlefoot and his gang from my mind forever.

Man... talk about overkill. The first one was excellent. All the sequels are crap.

Oh my god... there's a shitload more yet.

Similar to the previous two direct-to-home-video, the story and plot was a little sketchy. The singing and dancing was bearable now that I had endured the previous two installments, it was too much to handle.

For crying out loud, not another one....
