Land Before Time V
The Mysterious Island
|
This
fourth sequel in the series finds "leaf gobblers" eating all the
vegetation in Great Valley, driving Littlefoot, the young brontosaurus,
and the other dinosaur inhabitants out. Arguments break out among
the adults during migration, and Littlefoot and his friends decide
to take matters in their own hands by crossing the "big water"
to an unknown island. There they meet an old friend from The Land
Before Time II--Chomper, the T-rex, who has to protect the gang
from his own, carnivorous parents. Plenty of drama in this one,
and as the series has been wont to do from the beginning, it shows
adults as sometimes being less than perfect.

Land Before Time VI
Secrets of Sarus
|
Ten
years and six films (most released straight-to-video) have made
these plucky dinosaurs favorites among the younger set. This new
adventure is, well, pretty much like all the others. Littlefoot
hears the story of a legendary dinosaur that defended the land
years before. When a strange brontosaurus named Doc wanders through
town, Littlefoot is convinced he is the legend. Same old fare:
earthshakes, mean old "sharptooths" (T-rexes), lots of screaming,
and a lesson learned. Only three songs. The biggest surprise is
Kris Kristofferson as the voice of Doc.
