How sad is this?

As Good As It Gets

The acting in this movie is really good.

The movie really just wants to entertain people.

I very much looked forward to this film, after the long wait between the films. At first its hard not to shake the original voice actors out but i thought i would give it a chance as some of the original voice actors have sadly past. I am definitely glad i continued watching, it is a lovely comeback and i hope we see the return of more films following these characters. The voice acting could be improved as some of the feeling gets lost especially with three horn and in parts with grampa long neck i noticed a big difference but this could be down to me remembering the original voice actors and comparing. For any future viewers it is a lovely comeback to the series with new voice actors but give it a chance. Overall a really sweet lovely comeback.

I was certain that the combined efforts of Film 13 "The Wisdom of Friends" & The TV Series had made Littlefoot & his friends extinct. The arrival of this sequel both pleased and worried me. (But when you hit rock bottom, you have to go up in theory.) Well, I was pleasantly surprised. This acts as a sequel to Film X - "The Great Longneck Migration" and has a brief recap. As usual the gang face various dangers outside of The Great Valley and make new friends. I liked the pterodactyl, but the feathery one was annoying. (Seemed to be a relative of Guido from Film 12 "The Great Day of the Flyers.") I wasn't pleased to see Chomper & Ruby of the TV Series included, making that canon, but they're kept to a minimum. The animation is thankfully still in 2d and is a fair standard. The songs are forgettable. I briefly wondered where Shorty was, an obvious flaw in continuity; then forgot him again. It was fine with the focus on the main five. Less involvement from the adults worked in favour. It's an enjoyable adventure and I'll be curious to see if any more follow.

Thank goodness this franchise is back in my good graces plus it's a sequel to movie 10! While it's not as good as 10, it's still pretty darn good. The new characters are good, Wild Arms was really funny and Etta was a cool character. I also enjoyed the journey they went on. The detours were either fun, funny, or emotional. The 4 new songs were pretty good. Well the third and fourth songs were. The 1st was okay and the 2nd was a stupid LBT song. By the way, thank goodness for the strict limit on the CGI in this movie. The only CGI I noticed were the log in the climax and the water and lava. I also thought it was cool that we saw Littlefoot's father again but the ending wasn't very conclusive. I hope that they pick up on this when the fifteenth movie comes up.

After the horrendous Wisdom of Friends, I was super skeptical about this film. This movie felt like it was being made to cash in on the success of Jurassic World, another NBC Universal product. The director, Davis Doi, did a good job of bringing that LBT nostalgia and magic back. I found the movie very reminiscent of the earlier films (Parts 2-6), especially for a seemingly unnecessary FOURTEENTH installment. This movie was surprisingly not a bad film.So what is this movie about? Littlefoot is excited that his father, Bron, is making his annual visit to the Great Valley. However, he learns that his father is trapped in the wilderness when the "fire mountain" erupted, which left the rest of the herd to go on without him. Littlefoot and company decide to venture out into the Mysterious Beyond and try to rescue Bron.What makes this movie good? For starters, the plot line is actually quite interesting. It's miles better than whatever the heck the writers were thinking back during Parts 11-13. I loved how Littlefoot's bravery was portrayed in this movie. The stress of possibly losing another parent is apparent and is very well-done. Chomper and Ruby actually have a role in this movie and aren't shoved to the side, which I was worried about. Props to the writers for the inclusion of Yutyrannus and Carnotaurus, as well. The pacing is isn't necessarily bad, either. It's well-done enough, and the animation is gorgeous. There are some scenes in which obvious CG makes it slightly jarring to watch, but there are others where the CG actually looks nice.Overall, this is a nice return to the Land Before Time franchise.
