    first off all why did they make this and also why is my inner child crying?
  • hadomaru

    Heck yes!!
    actually, this was one of my favorites as a kid.
    I have an interest in marine reptiles you see

    Is it just me, or did Moe the Opthalnuihgsngmk sound a lot like Jar-Jar Binks?

    Believe it or not but Mo the prehistoric dolphin and Spike are both voiced by Rob Paulsen. *lol*

    IMAGINARY FRIENDS. AGH. I hated this movie the WORST.

    I completely forgot about the Big Water reprisal. Also, even when I was a kid I thought the CGI looked massively fake. Also, occasionally Spike and Petri swap places in the listing.

    This film is when I started leaving the room when my sister put in the movies.

    I always thought the names were listed off in that specific order because that is the order they are introduced in the very first film.

    What?! They don't solve the sharp tooth problem by pushing a large rock on it?! That's like coming to BurgerKing and not eating burgers! This is a outrage, I want my money back!

    I watched the series up to 10. I only got that far because the first Land Before Time was my absolute favorite animated movie growing up, and I felt obligated to keep watching the sequels. But after the 10th one, I realized that they were just completely awful (Plus, I had recently turned 13, and the childishness of the movies became fully revealed to me.) I still cherish the first movie, but I now hate the sequels for the scars they left me with.

    Also, I hate singing in children's films. Never could stand it.

    OMG! I did the exact same thing! This is the last movie I watched! I skipped 7, though when I heard it had aliens. Unfortunately, I am still dumber for doing this because I stopped in HIGH SCHOOL! At least you stopped when you became a teenager. But no, I continued torturing myself because of a stupid goal I made as a kid. I guess I just don't know when to quit T_T.

    Great vid Marzgurl.

    And on the bright side, there's only Four more to go (Five if you plan on doing XIV)

    This movie was one of the worst I have ever seen.

    Your review is good. I heard your anger and yes I hate it this movie with the same intensity like you.

    Don't worry: nine down, four to go

    Wow! That movie gives me an idea. It's the best idea in history of mankind! Even better than sliced bread!

    Let's make a movie. A kung-fu movie. With all sorts of thrilling action and blood freezingly cruel fights and... and... and ton of other exciting, extremely thrilling stuff. And things blowing up! And giant monsters attacking Tokyo!

    And all these things happen offscreen, while audience gets to hear characters talking about them!

    My god, this is about the time I stopped seeing these movies the first time I've seen this but...I fully agree,this is ass written all over....
  • blackshadow
    Oh boy you think that was bad wait for the 10th and 12th movies.
  • EpicFish  - Just...

    *facepalm* I can't believe this isn't worse than III. Well, four more movies to go. I'm pulling for you MarzGurl!

    As a kid I might have looked forward to this movie because I love marine reptiles just so effin' much.
    But damn, is it awful. I'm glad I never saw ANY of these movies except the first one.

    Oh God, that horrendous CGI. It ruins sooo many movies!

    To me the sixth part is the worst so far... at least this part looks better...

    Did anybody notice that they seemed to throw the whole littlefoot wanting a sibling plot out the window. I honestly thought that's what the movie would be.
    Migrating longnecks come. little foot plays with baby longnecks, baby longnecks get in trouble, littlefoot and friends must save them, little foot learns what it means to be an older sibling. Done.
    We even even get a random scene with a female longneck and her babies. Which I think could have been a very touching scene since this is the first time littlefoot has ever even mentioned his mom in these movies.
  • JackitK

    Not the first time, I think Littlefoot mentions his mom in Movie 5 in song...

    -_- ten movies... How many are there?! This isn't hurting my nostalgia. This is rape.

    Next they have to help a dinosaur that whines about his dad, and stop Seymour.

    Well I am out of the series now, I had some vague memories of nine but since I only saw it once it wasn't very memorable
    You think nine is bad, the only other movie I have saw is 11 and that one is the one that made me stop watching all the movies because of how bad it was
  • Drakonos

    wow,i think they used to much feather in shading

    Maybe if one of the Dolphins sang "So long, thanks for all the fish," it would have been redeemable. There also would have been ONE good song.
  • whatever42

    Well Marzgurl, you got through another one of the worst in the series. I never did like this one for obvious reasons, though I didn't think that the "Boring" song was too bad all things considered. God though, that imaginary friends song just has always been stuck in my brain despite it being bad. I hate when that happens.

    So, you're up to number 10. I don't remember the specifics of this movie very well, but there are two good things I do remember. The 10th one does mention Littlefoot's mother in a rather large way, along with something else related, and it does have a good song in "Bestest Friends." I am serious too; the song is actually great.

    Of course, I don't remember liking too much about the movie, so I can't imagine that these good things outweigh the bad by even a little. However, there are only four more movies, unless you plan to look at the TV series as well. I know you can make it. :)

    I've been a younger sibling and I've been an only child (long melancholy story, short version; brother got kicked out and there was drugs and other illegal stuff involved. He's still alive but he's an asshole)

    I prefer being an only child.

    Trading 12 Land Before Time Sequels against another Season of Sym-Bionic Titan.... ;) Honestly how do they get funding for this? I didn't even know that were more then 3 movies, not alone 13.
  • JackitK
    avatar
    Well to be fair on the movie, the ocean there's probably enough room for the waterSharptooth and the dolphins to live without ever actually coming across each other... might be giving too much credit to the movie, but I can't completely ignore it.

    This entire movie was complitly pointless.

    You know what really bothers me about this "Land before time" sequels? wasn't there a global disaster in the first one and every "green food" was gone so this valley they needed to found was like THE only place in which the dinosaurs could survive?
    But in the sequels they often get out of the valley and there is always not only food available everywere but other dinosaurs living their normal lives... what happened with that big disaster from the first movie? In this one we even got a mother long neck with their eggs hatching living a perfectly normal life right there outside of the valley... So frustrating.
  • Crunchy_Frog
    Whoever wrote those movies expected little kids to forget all about it. Keeping continuity from movie to movie is too much hassle. Besides, if the valley was the only place left, there would be no chance to introduce dinosaurs from outside.

    This is no longer a PG movie, this is aimed at pre-school children. And movie makers and "concerned parents" think that media aimed children should never EVER contain anything that might frighten the little anklebiters or imply that sometimes scary things can happen to parents and kids, thus ANYTHING resembling danger is carefully removed and sanitized, leaving only colorful things bouncing up and down and singing silly songs. Much like A Troll in Central Park.

    But the point these people don't get is that childred (from a certain age up) find scary or "icky" stories exciting. Ghost stories around the camp fire, fairy tales, those can be pretty bloody. As long as the Good Guys win in the end and order is restored. Heck, anyone remember all those deaths in old Disney cartoons, like Bambi's mother? E.T. being abandoned on Earth, being chased by the government, and then dying? (OK, he got better.)

    Can you imagine any movie studio today making a PG-13 out of Charles Dicken's novel "David Copperfield" (1894), or "The Wolves of Willoughby Chase" (1963) by Joan Aiken??
    (I'm going with the American rating system here, in Germany the rating system is different, with a category for teenagers of 16+ between FSK-12 and FSK-18.)

    It's a pity the writing for this one was so terrible, since the non-CGI visuals are really beautiful. The animation quality is almost as good as the original film.

    It's painful to see that so much work was put into the visuals for a script that the writer obviously didn't put much effort into.
  • Carteeg_Struve

    Ouch. That... was bad.

    But if you want to see the WORST merging of 2D animation with 3D computer generated models (I hesitate to call it graphics it's so bad), you should see the Dragonlance movie.
