For every Land Before Time video I buy, it seems to appeal to me every time, and this one is no exception. In this film, "swarming leaf gobblers" (grasshoppers) eat up all the food in the Great Valley. This means that all the dinosaurs will have to move. :( Soon, the grown-ups start fighting (again) about where they should go to find more food. Of course, Littlefoot and his friends try and solve the problem by setting of on another journey to find food themselves. And they find it, on an island. The rest of the story follows up with a "return of Chomper" part in it, a t-rex chase (of course), and "peace on dino earth" (a happy ending). Over-all, it's a cute movie that kids of all ages are sure to love.

My children and I adore this movie! And it is one I will watch with them. The story is a cut above the usual kid fare, and the lessons within are clear and straightforward, yet not as traumatic and frightening as in other movies from this series. Even better, the songs are enjoyable and catchy! I have even caught my husband singing, "Friends for Dinner" while cooking. But then I am guilty of singing "Big, Big, Big, Big Water" while bathing the kids! We enjoy this "Land Before Time" movie more than others in this series. We think you will, too!

The best of the series. The song "Always there" is sweet enough to make me cry each time I hear it and "Friends for Dinner" is very cute! My toddler watches this movie over and over.

I have all of the Land Before Time movies and this one is my favorite of all!!!

My three-year-old daughter loves this movie. She repeatly watches it and even sings along with all of the songs. I sometimes even find my nine-year-old son watching the movie with her. We all love this movie because it teaches morals and lessons to the children without lecturing them. This is an overall wonderful movie and my daughter and I would recommend it to everyone, but I still think the 1st movie is the best of them all.

My girls are 3 & 4 years old. My 3 year old asks to watch a movie from this series at least once every other day! This one has catchy tunes "Big Water" and "Friends for Dinner" that even my husband and I sing along with! My husband & I don't mind watching this one with the girls, it's entertaining! It teaches kids how to work together...and a few other life lessons. It's a keeper! I recommend it, and all of the movies in this series.

this is one of my favorites i love chomper the little t-rex and i love the songs

The Land Before Time: The Mysterias Island is one of the best ones in the Land Before Time series. Littlefoot, Cera, Ducky, Spik and Petrie journey out the Great Valley (because of a swarm of cicadas, what they call "leaf-gobblers") and go across the "Big Water" on a landbridge over into the so-called "Mysterias Island". What they find is billions of sharpteeth, but among them their old freind Chomper. Why I like The Mysterias Island is because of that little cute Chomper. He runs around just being cute and, like Spike, always likes to chomp and eat! Correct me if I am wrong, but I thought that Chomper in the previous film, The Great Valley Adventure, was called Chompers. Dunno why they changed his name in this one - anyway, doesn't matter- still a nice name!

I must say, though, these are only sutiable if you are young. If you are older and know dinosaurs (like me), go get Walking with Dinosaurs by the BBC. Also check out Land Before Time: The Big Freeze and Land Before Time: Journey to Big Water (which I too reviewed).

Prodigious! Amazing! But some songs always make me cry like "Always There." It always makes me cry. In that song, LittleFoot and his friends reflect on their parents. Hinting from the first movie when LittleFoot reflects about his mother. I have seen all 6 movies and I like all of them except the first one. It's the saddest of them all. When I mean sad, I mean crying sad. Once I saw that movie, BAM! The waterworks were on! I want a seventh movie! My little brother imagines that the last movie will be when the asteroid hits the earth and sometime cavemen come! He has a nice imagination. The land before time is appearing in commercials. Hinting on the next movie...

chomper is back in land before time 5 the mysterious island after along awaited return i love the songs in this move
