Too much of everything

Excellent, Without a doubt!!

This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

The fifth installment of The Land Before Time is a decent children's film with the right amount of life lessons and fun adventures decorated with three okay catchy songs. The plot can be a little thin, but there are enough good-natured and cute characters to make it likable to parents who like participating in their kids' entertainment. I enjoyed it okay. I must confess that I cracked some smiles when our beloved gang said some funny lines here and there. And come on, the twins in this movie are just so cute :)

Even though for an adult the story may seem a little silly this is still a great film. Children will adore it.This movie has some brilliant songs. I dare anyone who listens to it not to start tapping their feet while listening to 'bad luck'.The animation is ok (for a television flick) and is of the same standard as the rest of the sequels.Dina and daina (who is apparently a boy) are very cute, if irritating to an adult audience .I however think they are adorable. Cera gets a bigger role in this movie (in babysitting the twins) and that is nice to see as she is a great female character. We don't see many strong female roles in movies and this is one where it is much appreciated.Kids will like it and older fans will smile at it.It also teaches children the importance of resposablity.

Up until now this series has been suffering from the 'odd-numbered sequel good, even-membered sequel bad' syndrome and so I approached this latest entry with caution. I needn't have worried. This is a well-made, entertaining and memorable film which will appeal to people of all ages. The Lone Dinosaur (based on the Lone Ranger) is a particularly good character and the dream sequences add a surreal edge to the film. A must-see.

I have enjoyed watching this film with my 5-year old daughter many times. The typical hokey references to evolution are overshadowed by a good story line, memorable scenes and pleasant characters. Doc (Kris Kristofferson), the Lone Dinosaur, is a real treat.
