The Land Before Time VIII: The Big Freeze Trailers

When the dinosaur families get trapped in a valley by an ice storm, one family of "spike tail" dinosaurs volunteers to leave since they consume more food than the others. Meanwhile, the young dinos and a new adult dinosaur named Mr. Thicknose, head out to bring back their friend Spike, who has left his friends to be with members of his own species.

Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

Another good sequel! I know, what dimension is this? The family dynamic in this movie is almost as good as the first movie. They really dive into what a family is and how it functions. The connection is very deep and it made Ducky's mom a good character! Speaking of Ducky, she is developed very well here and I liked how they portrayed the sibling relationship between Spike and Ducky. It was also one of the only Land Before Time movies that doesn't talk down to it's audience. The solution to getting back into the valley isn't actually that obvious giving the movie higher stakes and let's the audience focus on the adventure and heart-felt, deep moments. The final scene where Spike nearly drowns and his "mother" saves him was just outstanding! In conclusion, I once considered this the best sequel but then another sequel came along. Heck, I could go on and on about how deep this movie is but I want to keep this a short review because I might repeat myself if I go on anymore.

The title says it. The action is not exactly long, but I think "Family" makes up for it. (SPOILER) Snow falls on the great valley and there are a few days of snow fun. Spike and Ducky get a bit mad at each other and Spike goes off with a migrating herd of Stegos. The kids enlist the help of know-it-all fraud Mr. Thicknose to guide them through the Mysterious beyond. They are reunited with ducky and face a rex. Their joint efforts pull through. They find a hot spring and green food. Thicknose admits his fibbing. Later, they go to the great valley to show the others the spring. They are soon joined by the spiketails.(SPOILERS END) I still can't help praising "Family" for its significance to the plot.

How this awful cartoon managed to get a an "above average" rating is beyond me. It is terrible in every respect: the "music" is insanely bad, the artwork isn't much better, and somehow the film manages to turn everything that's interesting about dinosaurs into boring klichés about friendship and the importance of not stripping old people of their dignity. Unimaginative, an insult to children's intelligence. My favorite moment is when the dinosaurs decide to have a little snowball fight after the freeze sets in...
