Purely Joyful Movie!

How sad is this?

Absolutely Fantastic

A brilliant film that helped define a genre

The ninth installment in the Land Before Time series, Journey To Big Water, is a nice addition but this is where I think the series started to show its age. Basically, heavy rains create a pool of "new water" that Littlefoot and company set out to explore. There they meet an ichthyosaur named Mo, who I must say is very amusing and I genuinely grew to care for him. Mo informs everyone that he came from the big water and they agree to help him back. The songs are a mix bag. The imaginary friends song is a major big-lipped alligator moment and somewhat sappy. Boring is a bit, well, boring but it does a good job of conveying the feeling of something being boring. No One Has To Be Alone is the best song in the movie, nice and melodic even if it felt a bit shoehorned in. As mentioned earlier, I like Mo. He's funny and you feel his plight of being trapped. Finally, the Liopleurodon is a legitimate threat, a silent hunter who takes cues from the original sharptooth. Overall, not quite as good as previous installments but has some very good moments.

I'm a fan of the series, I've seen most of the movies by now. But "Journey to Big Water" has to be one of my favorites. Mo is a great new character and gives a fresh new personality to the series. *SPOILER* Our friends find that flooding brings a new face to the Great Valley, Mo the Icthyosaurus. Forced to find a new way from the floods to the main valley, they divert and follow the river leading back to the ocean (aka Big Water). A few new discoveries on the way, of course, but an excellent tale of friendship. A new breed of Sharptooth is introduced, a Kronosaurus. Though only in a couple of scenes, they are quite memorable. What impressed me was the view Littlefoot has of the watery world Mo lives in, giving a new view that we normally would never see in the series.*END SPOILER*For those of you disappointed with so many sequels (I must admit, some are quite disappointing), I would highly recommend giving this movie at least one look.From a technical standpoint, the colors and the animations are impressive and run smoothly. Mo has to be the most colorful character of all time, both in physical appearance and in attitude.

This has to be the most successful animated series ever. I've collected them all. This is one of the best. Our heroes help a dolphin find his way home. It's cute and full of fun. Mo is a lively new friend and the water setting creates a unique adventure. 8/10
