Shortly after the Great Valley experiences an event with "Flying rocks" (Meteorites), the Valley finds itself in a state of drought when the Thundering Falls that supplies the Great Valley with water suddenly stops. While the valley is dealing with tensions among the grown ups related to water/resource rationing, Littlefoot, Cera, Ducky, Petrie, and Spike are dealing with their own issues as they've become targets for Hyp the Hypsilophodon, Mutt the Muttaburrasaurus, and Nod the Nodosaurus, a trio of bullies who delight in antagonizing and threatening the group.
The Land Before Time III is yet another entry in the lucrative direct to video series spawned from the Don Bluth film, Land Before Time. The film is basically at more or less the same level as the previous one with animation provided by Universal's TV unit Universal Cartoon Studios. This time around the movie tries to be "edutainment" with plots involving resource conservation, dealing with bullying, and even fire safety. As is, Land Before Time III is perfectly serviceable.
The movie is what it is, a slice of life story (more or less) built around dinosaurs to try and teach life lessons. It's not particularly subtle about it, but it's not overly pandering either (except for maybe the song "Kids like us" that goes maybe a little too saccharine). There's an attempt at trying to breakdown and understand bullies by looking at lead bully, Hyp's, interactions with his father, but it comes so late into the movie it feels more like an afterthought. The titular "Great Giving" a thanks giving analog is basically a throwaway line of narration towards the end of the movie and feels like it was just put there as an excuse for the title.
The Land Before Time III is exactly what it is, a harmless slightly over an hour kids movie designed to keep your kids distracted with bright colors and songs for about an hour while you do something else in another room. It's well intentioned enough I suppose and there's nothing objectively wrong with it for what it is. Take it for what you will.

If arguably marked by some heavy-handed and unsubtle writing, the first film of 1988 remains a modern classic that holds up well. The same can't quite be said of the first "direct to video" sequel of 1994, 'The Great Valley adventure'; enjoyable on its own merits, the flick is nevertheless one of unsophisticated flavor and fun more than earnest storytelling and substance like its elder. With Don Bluth out of the equation since the progenitor, and a cast and crew returning from 'The land before time II,' it's only reasonably to bear mixed to low expectations of 'The time of the Great Giving.' Still, there's always the chance that it could boast value of its own, so where does the third feature of the franchise actually stand? For better and for worse, it doesn't take long to discern that this is pretty well kith and kin with its immediate predecessor.
Right away we see the same strengths and weaknesses that characterized TLBT2. On the one hand, a tiny science lesson that's a tad forced, overly simplistic narration, gauche and childish songs, extra cutesy voice acting generally, and writing at large - characters, dialogue, story, and scenes - that are decidedly uncomplicated and straightforward, catering directly to the very, very youngest of viewers while favoring the conventional, tried and true, easy, and artless over heartfelt sincerity, drama, and complexity that may appeal to a wider audience of more ages (if not all ages). On the other hand, voice acting that is respectable in and of itself, a swell score, and terrific and detailed animation, including gorgeous backgrounds, lovely effects, and splendid characters designs and other active elements. There are, in fact, solid ideas in the story and scene writing as our core characters, young dinos Littlefoot, Cera, Petrie, Ducky, and Spike, find themselves getting involved in new adventures in and around the prehistoric haven of the Great Valley. I'll even admit that those songs that are undeniably outwardly gauche are kind of catchy.
We even see a wider variety of dinosaurs this time around, even if only in passing, and I'm pleased to note that, as the Great Valley faces hardship, to some degree the picture again touches upon the meaningful themes of prejudice that dominated the first installment. I'd even go so far as to say that overall the thematic foundations are unexpectedly strong - dealing with some notions that are all too real - and once again, there are tinges of mild humor to go along with the mild adventure and the mild drama. It's just unfortunate that in approaching that material, the title seems to have been shaped with a mind for relatively shallow entertainment over nuanced, impactful accentuation of the underlying concepts. In more recent years especially we've seen a boatload of family-friendly fare that respects kids' intelligence and refuses to reduce the more involved and elaborate thoughts on hand. 'The time of the Great Giving' does not necessarily fit into that category, and my issue is that it easily could have.
Nevertheless, no matter how much we may deign to critique the film, it's hardly as if it's bad. This was not molded in a manner that fully meets its potential, but all involved still turned in good work under those circumstances. It's a suitably good time, and we get at least some measure of what we came for. No, it's nothing that demands viewership, and it pales in comparison to the progenitor, but that doesn't mean it's altogether unworthy. Given its shortcomings 'The land before time III' won't stick in our memory after watching, but so long as you can abide such matters, then if you have the chance to check it out then it's good enough for something light.

This film's main fault is that the share and care theme is laid on rather thick. When the Valley's water supply is blocked, our young heroes search for a new source. They are hindered by a trio of bullies and a pack of hungry raptors, as well as the unreasonableness of parents. The songs are okay, if forgettable. The raptors are well worth seeing. In spite of the preachy tone of some dialogue and narration, regular fans will not be disappointed.
Winning Best Home Video Presentation of the 1995 Annies, "The Time of the Great Giving" is the third installment of the Land Before Time series. For some reason, it was originally supposed to be #4, but was pushed forward one year. Maybe Roy Allen Smith just wanted to save best for last. One way or another, this is still a great addition to the franchise.
The film begins in a similar way to the opening of the first movie, with the same sweeping score and the same calm note, underwater. The animation's cool wavy effects and the silent ancient creatures give a great feel for the setting to those who are starting the series with this installment.
In the Great Valley, Littlefoot, Cera, Petrie, Ducky, and Spike have constantly been getting bullied by a trio of adolescent dinosaurs: a hypsilophodon named Hyp, a nodosaurus named Nod, and a muttaburrasaurus named Mutt.
So on this evening, a meteor shower impacts near the Great Valley and causes an explosion in the Mysterious Beyond. Fortunately, no one is injured severely. But the next day, the Great Valley dinosaurs wake up to find the Thundering Falls, their main supply of water, drying up. The increasing lack of water causes conflicts between the adults. Considering his species the wisest (even singing a whole song about it), Cera's dad is insistent that he make the drinking arrangements. He becomes so conceited that he gets unreasonable. In fact, he accuses Littlefoot of wasting water when he gets sprayed by a splash caused by the bullies, who hightail it out of there to not be noticed. Despite the fact that the gang had no knowledge of the water problem, Cera's dad cites Littlefoot as a bad influence and forbids Cera to be around him. To bring an end to all the bickering, Cera sneaks out with the others to set out on a water hunt of their own.
One of the most graphically stunning sequences in the movie, the animation of this wildfire fire that spreads through the Great Valley is dazzling and the score is appropriately alarming for the situation, sounding much like that of the Firebird stage from Fantasia 2000.
"Kids Like Us", is the best song in the movie. While the other two have great instrumentals, their lyrics aren't very top notch. This one is very meaningful, if somewhat preachy, and hopefully will show children how to deal with bullying.
The only real issue with this movie is that it kind of makes it seem like children are always the ones with the solution to a problem while the adults are just helpless and argumentative. This movie could have benefited more by encouraging children to always seek adults' help. Even so, it's better than "The Great Valley Adventure", as it deals with the grown ups as much as the kids, and it offers great messages for both children and parents of cooperation and preventing bullying.
The storyline, though formulaic, is pretty well-developed, and though the kids' dialogue is juvenile, that isn't so much a bad thing when working with characters who are still very young. Kids will be kids. The action scenes are sufficiently entertaining, the animation is outstanding, and Michael Tavera's score is most beautiful here, making for a fine addition to the Land Before Time canon.
8/10 for "The Land Before Time III: The Time of the Great Giving".

Genre: Animated film about dinosaurs and a major water catastrophe.
What happens: In the Great valley for the gang, there are TWO annoying problems (unfortunately, not one or none). There are three bully dinosaurs who are CONSTANTLY picking on the poor good dinosaurs and to top all the depression, the waterfall in the Great Valley has stopped flowing. Though the lovely gang (Littlefoot, Cera, Ducky Petrie and Spike) are sad and annoyed, they have a positive view as well over this mess and decide to work together to find water
My thoughts: I like most of the L.B.T films. Unfortunately, this one is not at the top of my list for me. It is just too depressing! All the songs focus on some bad thing or other, unlike in all the films, where at least one focuses on just happiness! It also concentrates on the crisis of the film WAY too much for my liking. The music sticks to the depressing tune for 75% of the film, everyone is EXTRA grumpy because of the crisis and it's just too annoying! When there IS happiness, it feels deflated, like rather floppy balloon, it just isn't STRONG enough. Luckily, I prefer this film to "Land Before Time 11", which is my least favourite L.B.T, but this one is still not NEARLY as good as most of the others for me. I know lots of other people like it, but for me, it's just too depressing, too annoying, too deflated and too pessimistic. So there. I like the main characters of course. The new characters are not all that good, because they're bullies.
Recommended to: People who like the eleventh L.B.T, people who find all the other L.B.T's too happy and jolly and people who do not mind becoming a little too depressed by an animated film.
