This is one of the best of the Land Before Time sequels.

Our friends are all back (except occasional player Chomper), and they're facing global cooling. But their attention is split by the fact that they may be losing (the most lovable character, IMO), Spike.

The songs in this movie are superior, as with all the movies it teaches a gentle lesson and if you're young enough at heart, it will give your spirit a boost at this time when we all need one.

The gang is back and having another adventure! When I saw the first Land Before Time video I could not have imagined that there would be this many sequels. But, I have to hand it to the producers; the sequels have all been of good quality. This one is no exception. The songs are great for kids to sing along with and the plot, although predictable, is very creative. Global cooling has come to the Great Valley and Little Foot, Ducky and the gang have to try to get Spike back from some traveling Spike Tails that have adopted him. My daughter loves this video and if your kids have liked the previous ones then I think they will like this one also.

I just received my video, "The Land Before Time, The Big Freeze", just one in the animated series of this young dinosaur and his friends. This video, as all of the others, is delightful. I think I like it more than my young grandchildren do. It's, as with all of this series, a "feel good" movie. Wonderful characters, lots of fun and mischief. Inspires me to make sure I own the entire series.

We meet for the first time the oldest member ever to live in the Valley, going by the name Mr. Thicknose. This character is brought to life by the voice of Robert Guillaume, and does a nice job of filling this part. Usually with The Land Before Time movies there is more than one story going on within the feature, and this one is no exception. The story line consists of snow visiting the valley for the very first time and a herd of Stegosaurus arriving.

The kids start each day learning life lessons from Mr. Thicknose. When he is interrupted while discussing he has to start all over from the beginning. Some of the kids fall asleep or talk amongst themselves and this does not sit well with him.

The kids did not really like this elderly character and the parents and grandparents of the kids thought this man knew everything.

Each movie has one of the kids coming up with a plan to go on some journey and this time it is Ducky going off alone to the Mysterious Beyond after Spike left the Valley and the snow for greener pastures with the new herd. Once the others realize that Ducky is gone they start to go after her. Mr. Thicknose finds them and tags along since he would not allow them to go alone without an adult present.

I noticed right away that the voices of these kids have matured over time from the earlier episodes. Not sure if my son really noticed that or not, but when I quizzed him about it he said he could tell.

The animation is fantastic as usual with the sparkle of the snow and the sound of the wind blowing plus the neat expressions on their faces as they brave the first snow and trek over the mountain.

They all stayed through the season until it all melted and went back to the valley to start a new adventure. The narrator for this edition was again John Ingle, who also does the voice of Cera's grandfather and known in daytime as Edward Quartermaine on General Hospital.

The Land Before Time movies have ALL entertained my two young ones (4 & 3). They will watch them over & over & just never seem to get sick of them. They get to meet new characters, learn new "catchy" songs, and learn a valuable lesson or two about life & getting along with others. Good buy!

i love the caricter mr thick nose and like i said before sike talks agene


.ps.....i love to eat pizza wall i wach this movie

Okay then. This is one freaky episode. Doesn't anybody know what SNOW is? Littlefoot has getting really annoying, Cera seems more like a pre-school nerd, Petrie is having some issues with trees, and this dumb charactor named Mr. Thicknose is really living up to his name. All in all, this is one stupid episode.

This is, in my opinion, the second best Land Before Time Movie. I like it cos' it snows in The Great Valley and they meet up with two new freinds - Mr. Thicknose and Tippi.

I must say, though, this film (and other Land Before Times) are only suitable for younger viewers. If you are older and know more about dinosaursd (like me!!), I would certainly recomend Walking with Dinosaurs and Walking with Beasts.

This movie was wonderful. My younger sister who is 8 loved the movie. she was frozen in her seat. The color is great and the songs are fun to lsten to.

my daughter has every one of the Land Before Time movies. she wants to watch them over and over. they teach respect and value of family and friends.
