Le Petit Dinosaure: La Pluie d'étoiles glacées

Until now, I have watched every sequel to the beloved Land Before Time (1988). From the fifth installment on, I actually must confess that they have almost solidified on a decent level of quality.

The film is a little slow in the first approximately 15 minutes, but when the snow kicks in, the good stuff does too. The film has pretty backgrounds and good messages about identity and family.

Most of the songs are also serving the movie and the story well, and what more can you ask for from a direct-to-DVD film?

I can't be mad at this film. Yeah, 8th sequel in an everlasting line of them, I know. I like it and will not feel guilty if I in the future will be showing it to my kids.

I loved the Land Before Time (first one). I love Don Bluth movies in general. I would like to point out The first LBT was the ONLY one that Don had a hand in. You will notice that it is a new director every 3 or so movies after that. It is so sad that it has become the norm now to take something that was wonderful and heartfelt and turn it into a marketing scheme =(. I have only seen this sequel, and I don't plan on seeing any of the others, I prefer to leave my childhood memories of Littefoot, Petrie, Cera and the others intact. I miss animated movies that had imagination and an obvious amount of thought and effort put into them, most movies now a days are cranked out for the soul purpose of making money. So sad.

Ah, I remember the good old days. 1988 it was, I was a little kid and had just been taken to see a great movie called Land Before Time. I really enjoyed it and wanted to see more of the cute talking dinos. Be careful what you wish for! Each sequel to the film has degenerated farther and farther from the original nice story into pure theatrical sludge. The characters have become increasingly more annoying, the plots are trite, the songs make you pray for the ice age and those are the series's GOOD points.

As for this latest cinematic suppository, I can't help but say, in all honesty, that I would rather be castrated with a rusty pizza cutter then sit through it again. Five minutes of Land Before Time VIII can turn your brain into cottage cheese. This is the worst case of sequelitus I have ever seen.

It's high time these dinosaurs became extinct!

Boy that Universal really knows how to milk (or should I say "Mine") a franchise to death, these sequels seem to get cheaper & cheaper every time, it's really sickning that one of Don Bluth's classic mytho's is getting buchered more & more with near low quality sequels like this, I wonder how Don feels about this?

I'm sure glad MGM didn't take The Secret Of Nimh to the same direction as Land Before Time (hey, one dog ugly sequel was bad enough), if there's ever a Land Before Time 9, I think they should try "Land Before Time IX, The Mushroom Cloud".

this movie is probably one of THE most amazing movies ever ... some of my friends laugh cause i still watch these movies to this day ... I've been watching them for 15 years and i never get sick of them. .i hope that they end up making at least 20 .. because i know that i will still be watching them . and to the person that insulted them before YOU SUCK ..

cause I'm sure almost everyone agrees how AWESOME all the Land Before Times are : ) me and my friends watch it all the time .. and were 15 and 16 years old. and we STILL love it

i think that everyone should watch this movie .. because land before time is RED HOT !!!!!!!! :D:D:D:D:D
