Ketrivie It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

Glatpoti It is so daring, it is so ambitious, it is so thrilling and weird and pointed and powerful. I never knew where it was going.

Scotty Burke It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

Walter Sloane Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

allyball-63124 This is where the Land Before Time franchise got really good. The story is very interesting and actually has some tension for once. Sure, a few things don't make sense but in my opinion, it doesn't amount to much. The animation has improved a bit but not by much. Oh yeah, and Chomper is back, and he can talk! Yay? Okay to be fair, Chomper is pretty cute and the family dynamic between his parents is still adorable. I also thought that the action scenes were pretty brutal. Watching 3 T-rexes fight each other was highly entertaining and they showed blood! Yeah I was just as shocked as some of you were watching that action scene. Also, in one of the songs Little foot mentions his mother for the first time since the first movie. I was so close to tears when I rewatched the song. Yeah, the song is poorly sung but the lyrics are beautiful. The other 2 songs are tolerable but nothing special.

Gavin Cresswell (gavin-thelordofthefu-48-460297) While the Time of the Great Giving is a much better sequel than the others, this one is also better, but is not as excellent as the original was. The dialog is nice, but the story is predictable and takes way too long to get it going. Even the writing was inept. There are a few redeeming qualities that save this movie. The songs, although not memorable, are pleasant to listen to, especially Always There which was very touching. The animation is beautiful and the voice acting is excellent. Thomas Dekker did great as Littlefoot and the cameo Christina Pickles did great as the sea creature near the end of the movie. The character are likable, especially Chomper which made me feel glad to see him again after The Great Valley Adventure.Overall, not as excellent as the original, but still a worth-watching sequel.

kingmonkey of the numerous Land Before Time films, this one stands out with some high quality songs and a great storyline.the two big songs of the film, Big Big Water and in particular Friends For Dinner, are two of the best that you will find in the series of films, and are of the high, singalong quality you would normally only find in a high profile Disney movie.the basic premise of the storyline, one of how all can work and flourish together despite obvious differences, is a good one, and provides many moments of education for youngsters as much as it does entertainment.our little one, who is not yet three, loves this film to bits. that's the target audience, and you can't argue with that! watch and enjoy, and be prepared to be singing "friends for dinner" in your head for quite a while after!

cjdaniel This is arguably the best entry in the entire LBT series, which, as of this writing, is up to number 10. My sons (along with Mommy and Daddy) have watched this one more times than any of the others, and there's a reason for that: it's a good one. (Number 2, "The Great Valley Adventure," with Ozzy and Strut, the first appearance of the baby T-Rex Chomper, and some great songs by the Roches, comes in second.) "The Mysterious Island" also contains three fabulous songs, perhaps the best three songs from the whole series: "Big Water," "Always There," and "Friends for Dinner," all by Michele Brourman & Amanda McBroom. Don't miss it. (And also watch "The Great Valley Adventure," if you haven't already.)
