The Land Before Time (1988)


Universal Pictures
Directed by Don Bluth
My rating: 2.5 stars out of 4
IMDb Wikipedia
(Blu-ray, Universal)

A large dinosaur saves her only child and some of his friends from an attack, but is fatally wounded in the process. Later, an earthquake separates the young dinosaurs from the main herd. They decide to carry on towards the "Great Valley", a paradise filled with food and safety. They are guided by the spirit of the dead mother and must overcome several obstacles along the way by learning to work together. Another handsome animated production from Don Bluth, with a quality story from executive producers Steven Spielberg and George Lucas. It spawned endless sequels and a TV series, which may have been Spielberg and Lucas's intentions all along.
