Critics Consensus: Beautifully animated and genuinely endearing, The Land Before Time is sure to please dino-obsessed tykes, even if it's a little too cutesy for older viewers.

AniMat's Review (YouTube)

Mat Brunet

Before all the sequels and the dozens of episodes of the TV show, it was just a simple story of five young dinosaurs on a journey to a promised land, and that’s all you need for a heartfelt picture.

Just when you think animated movies for children have become a triumph of marketing over imagination, along comes Don Bluth to make you think again.

Bluth and his enormous team of artists have done an exceptional job, drawing you into a world forbidding and, in the expected happy ending, enchanting.

The story does have a certain degree of charm, but the biggest flaw is that it covers several Major Life Themes without much subtlety or use of symbolism.

What it's got in endless abundance is charm, humor and some moments of genuine pathos. It's like classic Disney, in that it transcends its boundaries as a child's movie: nearly everybody will enjoy it.
