Rated G for violence, mayhem, murder, intense scenes of peril, and the death of a child’s beloved mother. This movie broke my daughter. Like, fully broken. I told her she can send her future therapy bills to Don Bluth.
Matt SingerMar 27, 2023I can’t believe a story so emotionally scarring to my childhood is contained in a movie that is just over an hour long.
KyloOct 6, 2016Nostalgia in full effect! The tale of a group of young prehistoric creatures on a long, dangerous journey to a safe haven (The Great Valley) is just as engaging, touching and entertaining as it was when I saw it as a kid. Don Bluth and his team did an excellent job…

james💫Aug 30, 2025I’m 23. It’s 1AM on a Friday night. And I have tears rolling down my face over animated dinosaurs.
HailliDec 5, 2015As grown man, attempting to apply a star rating to The Land Before Time makes about as much sense as a 6 year old attempting to apply a star rating to Last Tango in Paris. There was a time when this movie was made for me, but that was long ago. Now, the story is paper…

robin moonJul 16, 2024Muito difícil que esse seja meu parâmetro de filme triste, porque nenhum depois dele consegue alcançar o que esse filme faz.

A light-hearted adventure that includes one of the saddest scenes in history. While a movie for children, it handles many complex topics about searching, friendship and acceptance with depth
CvptvinHowdy likedThe Land Before TimeStill one of the saddest scenes that I still remember watching as a kid. It doesn't have the same impact visiting it now, maybe because it's so short, but it could never not warm the heart.
Lillian H lovedThe Land Before TimeIt’s my favorite movie from childhood, my most formative memory of my grandparents house is watching this in their living room, singing along to the songs with my cousin. Yep yep yep!

I guess I sort of liked the film. although I wonder why it couldn't have spent more time on natural history and the sense of discovery.

The Land Before Time isn't heavily plotted; it doesn't do much more than concentrate on the amusingly lifelike dynamics among the dinosaur children as they make their journey. Luckily, it isn't very long either. At a just-right length of 73 minutes, it ought to win audiences' hearts without wearing out their patience.
