DVDs. Land Before Time

This dazzling Anniversary Edition of The Land Before Time presented by Steven Spielberg and George Lucas introduces us to Littlefoot Cera Spike Ducky and Petrie and follows them on their first journey together - an exciting quest to find the lush legendary Great Valley. Along the way the prehistoric pals overcome many challenges and learn the value of teamwork and friendship. This delightful classic is the adventure that started it all and it continues to capture the hearts of viewers young and old.Directed by: Don Bluth

Adventure - general DVD - Animation producer Don Bluth's fondness for overly cutesy characters and muddy color compositions work to the benefit of his feature-length cartoon The Land Before Time. Littlefoot, a brontosaurus child, must fend for himself when his mother is killed (shades of Bambi). With several other orphaned dinosaurs, Littlefoot seeks out the fabled Great Valley, where food and shelter is plentiful. Along the way, the kiddie dinos learn several vital (and politically correct) life lessons, all the while keeping themselves scarce whenever the fierce tyrannosauri gallumph into view. The cuteness of the characters (emphasized by the voice work) takes some of the harsh edges off the story, which makes the film eminently suitable for younger children; and the smeary color design is ideal for the time-frame of the film, which is set in the turbulent, nature-run-rampant period just before the dinosaurs died out. Apparently they didn't all die, inasmuch as a Land Before Time sequel was released on vid

From its lush dreamlike opening sequence to its epic landscapes Don Bluth's THE LAND BEFORE TIME is an enchanting prehistoric adventure. Littlefoot Gabriel Damon a little bracheosaurus finds himself lost and on his own while he and his family journey to the lush feeding grounds of the Great Valley. Littlefoot along with several baby dinosaur pals must set out across barren dangerous terrain to reach the Great Valley encountering perils and adventures along the way. THE LAND BEFORE TIME is a triumph in animation using traditional methods to create colorfully detailed scenes and character movement. The film serves as an excellent introduction for small children to the fascinating world of dinosaurs.
