The Land Before Time (Anniversary Edition) Review
The Land Before Time was one of my favorite childhood movies. To this day I still love this movie. Just like alot of other early Don Bluth films it was darker than most children films of its time and had many intense moments. Compared to Secret of NIHM its a little more child friendly, but still mature in many aspects. It makes me wonder why they started turning it into a musical series when the first one had no singing at all. Don't get me wrong I loved some of the sequals, but after I think the 4 or 5 it just got ridiculus. Well anyway for one you have one of the saddest moments ever in a kids film at the beginning of the movie. I tell you till this day that scene pulls at my heart strings. It was just tragic and brutal. Then you have 5 young dinosaurs in a world full of danger and destruction, search for a safe place that may or may not exist, but its the only hope that keeps them going. Plus they must deal with living with each other which isn't always easy to do. I'm not sure about the DVD, but the VHS of this was great. The colors and animation was just perfect and I hope the DVD is just as perfect. You care about every character in this movie and wish for them to pull through. I must confess the ending also had me in tears for reasons I can't explain. The Land Before Time is a beautiful and very underrated film. I recommend it to everyone. I hope in the future they start making dark animated kids films again.

The Land Before Time (Anniversary Edition) Specifications
This 1988 animated feature from Don Bluth (An American Tail) focuses on an orphaned young dinosaur, Littlefoot, who has to make his way to the paradise of the Great Valley in order to survive a plague. Along the way, he meets up with some other dinos from different species, and they all bond and travel together. On the way, they have plenty of adventures. Even with elements of suspense, this is a pretty relaxed movie that isn't in a particular hurry to roll out its story. Kids will like the originality of the concept, and the themes of friendship and cooperation are well woven into the fabric of the entertainment, plus the music is great. Bluth's artwork looks good, though--as always--he never seems to quite catch up with the quality of the Disney machine. --Tom Keogh
