Vashirdfel Simply A Masterpiece

Benas Mcloughlin Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

Lucia Ayala It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

Edwin The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

Jesper Brun This long chain of DTV sequels to the beautiful The Land Before Time has its ups and downs and this is one of the downs. While not being awful it just disappointed badly. I had expected a lot more of the under water experiences which was promised in its title, but was only briefly shown at the very end. And thinking about how well the movie was animated in general the lack of contact with the under water world just made me sad. Most of the time nothing really happens on dry land, not even much of real threat or the life lessons these sequels normally did. It's just boring most of the time.The new characters are all underdeveloped and that only added to the tediousness of it. Mo could have been so much more of an insight to the under water world and have more personality. He surely is the most memorable of this movie, but that does not make him a good character, because he was mostly just smiling and jumping around. The "Sharptooth Swimmer" could have been used a lot more, but wasn't.The songs in general were forgettable and seemed to come out of nowhere. I am not a fan of TLBT take on musical numbers in general and this one proves it.I have seen much more offensive attempts of sequels to great movies and I think many TLBT sequels have something to offer, but this one dumped its potential into the deep.

zsofikam The ninth installment in the Land Before Time series, Journey To Big Water, is a nice addition but this is where I think the series started to show its age. Basically, heavy rains create a pool of "new water" that Littlefoot and company set out to explore. There they meet an ichthyosaur named Mo, who I must say is very amusing and I genuinely grew to care for him. Mo informs everyone that he came from the big water and they agree to help him back. The songs are a mix bag. The imaginary friends song is a major big-lipped alligator moment and somewhat sappy. Boring is a bit, well, boring but it does a good job of conveying the feeling of something being boring. No One Has To Be Alone is the best song in the movie, nice and melodic even if it felt a bit shoehorned in. As mentioned earlier, I like Mo. He's funny and you feel his plight of being trapped. Finally, the Liopleurodon is a legitimate threat, a silent hunter who takes cues from the original sharptooth. Overall, not quite as good as previous installments but has some very good moments.

Cylex This has to be the most successful animated series ever. I've collected them all. This is one of the best. Our heroes help a dolphin find his way home. It's cute and full of fun. Mo is a lively new friend and the water setting creates a unique adventure. 8/10
