Editorial Reviews

This fourth sequel in the series finds "leaf gobblers" eating all the vegetation in Great Valley, driving Littlefoot, the young brontosaurus, and the other dinosaur inhabitants out. Arguments break out among the adults during migration, and Littlefoot and his friends decide to take matters in their own hands by crossing the "big water" to an unknown island. There they meet an old friend from The Land Before Time II--Chomper, the T-rex, who has to protect the gang from his own, carnivorous parents. Plenty of drama in this one, and as the series has been wont to do from the beginning, it shows adults as sometimes being less than perfect. --Tom Keogh

4.0 out of 5 stars Very cute little movie, January 26, 2004

Dash (Thousand Oaks, Ca (USA)) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Land Before Time V - The Mysterious Island [VHS] (VHS Tape)

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.

4.0 out of 5 stars This is one I'll watch with my kids!, February 21, 2000

This review is from: The Land Before Time V - The Mysterious Island [VHS] (VHS Tape)

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.
