Em Busca do Vale Encantado VI: O Segredo do Rochedo

This film may not have the exact same charm and originality from the first Land Before Time, but all-in-all, this is an even better sequel than the previous films and even surpasses "The Time of the Great Giving" as the best of the series.

Sure, the story's episodic, although the lesson about responsibility was very nice to educate the young, and the dialog may felt clunky at times, but there are some redeeming qualities that make this worth watching. The animation is very decent and the backgrounds are really nice. The songs, although not memorable, are very pleasant to listen to especially the song "Lone Dinosaur" and "Bad Luck". The reused music from the original is great and the pacing moves along very briskly.

The characters are still very decent as is Cera's baby twins Dana and Dinah and boy were they so adorable you just want to pinch those cheeks of theirs. The strongest aspect is the voice acting with Kris Kristofferson's greatest cameo as Doc, the lone dinosaur.

Overall, not excellent, but still a very watchable sequel to the series. Thumbs up!

The Land Before Time VI: The Secret of Saurus Rock, the sixth installment in the Land Before Time series. Again another decent enough sequel that gets a very unfair rating, this movie was a little step below the fifth sequel, but still I did enjoy watching this sequel because it focused more on family. Also just the responsibility some kids have to face when they have a new member in the family and how hard it can be to watch out for their younger relatives. A lot of kids could relate to this story. We also have a good moral that it's OK to ask the adults for help if a child does feel responsible for something they did and wants to fix it. The Secret of Saurus Rock certainly is a good story and once again just gives us lighthearted clean fun for the family and kids.

Littlefoot's grandfather tells the children a story about "The Lone Dinosaur", a legendary longneck who once protected the Great Valley from the most ferocious sharptooth ever to live. However, the sharptooth left "The Lone Dinosaur" with a scar slashed across his right eye. Soon after the battle, a huge monolith that resembled a proud sauropod, having life-sized tyrannosaur teeth arranged around his neck, came out of the ground during an earthquake. The dinosaurs called it "Saurus Rock". The legend also states that if anyone damages the monolith, bad luck would descend upon the valley. A few days later when the kids are playing, Littlefoot accidentally falls off a cliff. Just before he hits the ground, a strange longneck dinosaur rescues him. This longneck introduces himself only as "Doc" and gives no knowledge of his history. Littlefoot is intrigued by this newcomer, who is scarred across one eye and displays prior knowledge of the Great Valley. For the preceding reasons, Littlefoot assumes that Doc is the Lone Dinosaur. Inspired, Cera's infant niece and nephew, the twins Dinah and Dana, go to Saurus Rock without anyone noticing. Later when the friends are playing, they notice that Dinah and Dana are missing. When they finally reach Saurus Rock, they see Dinah and Dana on the top. As they climb up to rescue them, Dinah and Dana fall off the top and land on Cera, causing the life-sized stone tooth on which she is standing to break off. Over the next few days, ill fortunes ranging from injuries to a tornado plague the valley. The adults blame Doc, in whose wake the misfortunes have apparently come, while Littlefoot blames himself and his friends, recalling the breaking of Saurus Rock. But Littlefoot is convinced that he can fix everything by going back to break off a dinosaur's sharp tooth to save the valley.

The Land Before Time VI: The Secret of Saurus Rock is a good movie, I really liked the tribute to the lone ranger. Granted I know some kids won't get the little tribute to him, but it's still fun for them to see a dinosaur kind of cowboy, as silly as that sounds, it was good for the film. I also loved how Littlefoot just had this big heart and wanted to fix everything for his family and the other's in the Valley. The Secret of Saurus Rock is very fun to watch, I think it's a little notch below from what I've seen so far in the series, but not enough to say that this was a dreadful movie, I liked it and do recommend it for the kids and family.

5/10

I have enjoyed watching this film with my 5-year old daughter many times. The typical hokey references to evolution are overshadowed by a good story line, memorable scenes and pleasant characters. Doc (Kris Kristofferson), the Lone Dinosaur, is a real treat.

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.

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 :)
