Save your money for something good and enjoyable
Good movie but grossly overrated
Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
Yeah I think the streak that started with movie four has been interrupted for a bit. I have very mixed feelings on this movie. I like the message that they teach about overcoming loneliness and boredom. It's a beautiful message and very relatable. As you can imagine, I also loved "The Boring Song" and "No One Has to Be Alone." "Imaginary Friend" not so much. I also love the underwater scenes. They are beautifully animated and just all around pretty to look at. However, Mo is pretty horrible. He shows up, does nothing, and everyone automatically loves him. It's the very definition of a Gary Stu. Mo is also useless, annoying, and an idiot beyond belief and his voice is one of the worst voices in anything ever! That may seem like a minor gripe except that Mo takes up most of movie! In conclusion, if Mo wasn't so annoying, this movie would be among the top five sequels. As for right now, I can't hate it but it's just okay.
The Land Before Time IX: Journey to the Big Water, the ninth installment in the Land Before Time series and once again I really enjoyed this sequel. Honestly what was so wrong with this film? I thought it was absolutely adorable. Again I know that these movies are a bit silly and very kidish, but they are just light hearted fun that provide entertainment for the whole family. Seeing Littlefoot and his friends on another adventure together, though these kids seem to get into more trouble than your average group of friends, these stories are nevertheless always very fun to watch. The animation is getting brighter, it's a little different than the original, but it's still all good and I'm enjoying what these sequels have brought since the original Land Before Time.When heavy rains create a mysterious "new water", Littlefoot sets off to explore the Great Valley. All his friends are busy trying to fix whatever happened during the rain to their land, so he goes beyond the Great Valley. He quickly becomes friends with Mo, a swimming fish like dinosaur who has been isolated from his pod by the weather. Littlefoot's friends finally catch up with him when they're all done with their chores and are introduced to Mo. They decide to help Mo get home safely, but the families don't want to risk the possible danger ahead of them. Littlefoot decides to go ahead anyways and his friends are going to help him. When Littlefoot and his friends get separated from their parents because of the Earthshake, they help Mo get back home to the Big Water, while avoiding a hungry dinosaur that looks like the Lochness Monster. On the way, Littlefoot and Mo discuss such interesting and see dangerous things like imaginary friends, the concept of loneliness, and the true meaning of a brother.The Land Before Time IX: Journey to the Big Water is a good family film, I mean how could you not love Mo? Yeah he's a bit hyper and crazy, but still he was so cute and such a party animal. I loved the friendship between him and Littlefoot, it kind of reminded me of Chomper from the second sequel in the Land Before Time series. This has great morals, good humor, and a fun story as the adventures continue, OK that's a little cheesy, but these movies are making me smile. Don't take the ratings on here seriously, these are great family films and are just harmless fun. Littlefoot, Mo, Spike, Cera, Peetry, and Ducky are awesome! If you don't like them, you have no heart.6/10
Mo is such a colorful(figuratively and literally) character. He portrays real dolphin mischief and brains. (SPOILER) The major event is a rainstorm creates a large lake leading into the big water of part 5. Littlefoot is angry when his friends can't play, so he embarks into the new water. He meets Mo and he soon makes friends with the rest of the gang. They see a swimming sharptooth(Liopleurodon or Kronosaurus). Then, an earthquake splits the land and separates the gang from their parents. They go with Mo to the big water but are constantly tailed by their aquatic antagonist. Mo baits the monster away from them but ends up stuck in a log, which he shakes free from. He and the dinos meet again and Mo shows Littlefoot around the sea. Mo's water kin helps them find a way home(SPOILERS END). The two great songs are Part 5's Big Water and Donny Osmond's No One Has To Be Alone. The most fearsome villain yet!
