Alla ricerca della valle incantata 6 - Il segreto di Saurus Rock

The fifth installment of The Land Before Time is a decent children's film with the right amount of life lessons and fun adventures decorated with three okay catchy songs.

The plot can be a little thin, but there are enough good-natured and cute characters to make it likable to parents who like participating in their kids' entertainment.

I enjoyed it okay. I must confess that I cracked some smiles when our beloved gang said some funny lines here and there. And come on, the twins in this movie are just so cute :)

I don't think it is the best LBT sequel, but it is nice to watch, and I do recommend it for kids. It is too short though so you don't feel the emotional attachment you get from watching the first film, the dialogue is mostly uninspiring(this is from a more adult perspective, but I am sure kids will overlook this) and the story is quite simplistic. However the animation is good, with nice colours and decent editing. The music is lovely, and the songs while not memorable are pleasant. The twin baby dinosaurs Dana and Dina are adorable, and the voice acting is solid. All in all, this is a decent sequel, definitely one of the more watchable sequels of the franchise. 6/10 Bethany Cox

Up until now this series has been suffering from the 'odd-numbered sequel good, even-membered sequel bad' syndrome and so I approached this latest entry with caution. I needn't have worried. This is a well-made, entertaining and memorable film which will appeal to people of all ages. The Lone Dinosaur (based on the Lone Ranger) is a particularly good character and the dream sequences add a surreal edge to the film. A must-see.

Even though for an adult the story may seem a little silly this is still a great film. Children will adore it.

This movie has some brilliant songs. I dare anyone who listens to it not to start tapping their feet while listening to 'bad luck'.

The animation is ok (for a television flick) and is of the same standard as the rest of the sequels.

Dina and daina (who is apparently a boy) are very cute, if irritating to an adult audience .

I however think they are adorable.

Cera gets a bigger role in this movie (in babysitting the twins) and that is nice to see as she is a great female character. We don't see many strong female roles in movies and this is one where it is much appreciated.

Kids will like it and older fans will smile at it.

It also teaches children the importance of resposablity.

Not much, I would say. This is a way of showing the downfall of sequels and such. In 1988, "The Land Before Time" came out and it was one of the finest cartoon movies I've ever seen. It was shown in theaters, and that the was the first, last and only time a LBT film was shown in theaters. Then came the seemingly never ending series of sequels ALL which were direct to video and now there's 8 sequels. Up until Part 5, everyone was going pretty good, but nothing like that could last forever. So, we get this, the worst LBT sequel I've seen, seeing as how I haven't seen any after this one. It's just not worth it.

Anyway, as the story goes, Littlefoot and his friends hear about the story of the "Lone Dinosaur" (bad name, huh?) and how if anything happens to Sauraus Rock bad luck will occur over the Great Valley, and a new dinosaur, Doc comes and yada, yada, yada. It's just an occuring remake of the same movies with the same morals, the same action, the same everything! PLEASE, do not make a Land Before Time Part 10!! The only enjoyable thing was Sarah's little cousins. They were so cute!! Don't waste your time on this. A 2/10.

By the way, after Peetree went out of the log to see if it was safe, (and trust me, I rewound the part three times) I KNOW he said, "We can cross big b*tch!". I swear! I know he was trying to say "ditch", but it came out wrong.
