"For every Land Before Time video I buy, it seems to appeal to me every time, and this one is no exception. In this film, "swarming leaf gobblers" (grasshoppers) eat up all the food in the Great Valley. This means that all the dinosaurs will have to move. :( Soon, the grown-ups start fighting (again) about where they should go to find more food. Of course, Littlefoot and his friends try and solve the problem by setting of on another journey to find food themselves. And they find it, on an island. The rest of the story follows up with a "return of Chomper" part in it, a t-rex chase (of course), and "peace on dino earth" (a happy ending). Over-all, it's a cute movie that kids of all ages are sure to love."

"My three-year-old daughter loves this movie. She repeatly watches it and even sings along with all of the songs. I sometimes even find my nine-year-old son watching the movie with her. We all love this movie because it teaches morals and lessons to the children without lecturing them. This is an overall wonderful movie and my daughter and I would recommend it to everyone, but I still think the 1st movie is the best of them all."
This is one I'll watch with my kids!

"My children and I adore this movie! And it is one I will watch with them. The story is a cut above the usual kid fare, and the lessons within are clear and straightforward, yet not as traumatic and frightening as in other movies from this series. Even better, the songs are enjoyable and catchy! I have even caught my husband singing, "Friends for Dinner" while cooking. But then I am guilty of singing "Big, Big, Big, Big Water" while bathing the kids! We enjoy this "Land Before Time" movie more than others in this series. We think you will, too!"
Great music, fun storyline!!!

"The best of the series. The song "Always there" is sweet enough to make me cry each time I hear it and "Friends for Dinner" is very cute! My toddler watches this movie over and over."
