A Disappointing Continuation

It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

I like most of the sequels of the Land Before Time series, though none of them are as good as the original. This is a decent sequel, without being one of the best. The songs are forgettable here and the dialogue is rather simplistic, plus the film does feel rushed in places. But the animation is decent with some nice backgrounds especially, and the plot is well thought out and rounded off. The voice acting is the best asset though, easily one of the better LBT sequels in terms of voice acting. The characters still have their likability also, and there is some very admirable messaging. Overall, not great but not awful either. 6/10 Bethany Cox

The Land Before Time X: The Great Longneck Migration, the tenth installment in the Land Before Time series. This is the best sequel I have seen so far! Seriously, this is a really good animated film and deserves a higher rating. Again, I am so confused, when I started watching these movies I was expecting nothing but trash from what the users have been rating them. But I always try to give my best honest feedback on the film and honestly this was a terrific story. The animation is getting a little bit more computer which I agree is sort of taking away from what the original was giving us, but it's a new generation and still the bright colors and characters were still a pleasure to watch. We finally get to meet Littlefoot's father and also more Longnecks for Littlefoot, so we get to see what his life could be like if he grew up with his mother.Plagued by mysterious dreams, Littlefoot, his grandparents and all the other Longnecks depart the Great Valley, joining up with other Longneck herds as they travel to a single location; with Cera, Petrie, Spike, and Ducky following the herds to an enormous crater, which they believe is the culmination of their journey. Littlefoot learns that long ago, that the sun was going to fall. However, a number of Longnecks came together to this very spot and raised up their necks, lifting the Circle back to where it had been. According to this myth, this stretching of their necks is how the Longnecks got their long necks. History is about to repeat itself, and so the Longnecks have returned to the crater in order to save the sun once more. Littlefoot's friends miss him though and decide to travel to find him and take him back home meeting another Longneck along the way. However, another surprise is in store, as Littlefoot meets his father, Bron, for the first time in his whole life. However, Bron isn't alone. Since parting from his now deceased wife, he has become guardian to another young brachiosaurus, Shorty, who becomes jealous of Littlefoot since Bron is spending more time with him. One dawn, Shorty tries to run away, but Littlefoot stops him and convinces him to rejoin the migration, he even goes as far as to suggest they become brothers. At this point, Littlefoot's friends arrive. Soon after, following a Sharptooth attack there is a furious battle that the group must face.The Land Before Time X: The Great Longneck Migration is the best sequel that I've seen so far of the series. I can't wait to see the next sequel which I do have to wait for sadly, so a comment will be coming soon. But I have to tell you the humor is much more for the kids as the adults, I even laughed a few times, which I have with the previous sequels, but not as much as with The Great Longneck Migration. I mainly loved watching Littlefoot's friends going on their own to find Littlefoot, especially Ducky and Spike, they are so cute together. This was a touching story as well with Littlefoot discovering his dad and the relationship they could have together. I highly recommend this movie, if you are going to watch one of the Land Before Time sequels, I suggest this one.7/10

The Land Before Time was one of my most beloved cartoons. It was a far cry from Disney, being dark, moody, and really sad and morose. But since Universal betrayed Don Bluth and started cranking out cheap direct-to-video sequels, I've been unhappy with the series. I liked II and III because I was still in kindergarten, but since then I haven't seen any until I got XII, XIII and IX. I intended to get 'em all, each time hoping for a revival of the old style. In Land Before Time X: The Great Longneck Migration, you will not find anything like the art direction of the first one, albeit there is a shadow of it in a gloomy swamp. The Great Valley must be bright and cheery, which I forgive, 'cause it's heaven on earth, isn't it? Well, the rest of the sequels acted like the last movie never happened; it's like a TV series with episodes like Dexter's Lab or Johnny Bravo, with no connection between the countless "adventures". However, the tenth installment ties in with the first, featuring a realistic plot. Migration instincts in dinosaurs probably arose not in dreams, but just some weird chemical reaction that said, "Time to haul ass!" But, the animators probably knew that, and kiddies wouldn't get it if you involved scientific mumbo-jumbo in a cartoon that calls tyrannosaurs "sharpteeth". As far as animation goes, the gist of the last paragraph repeats itself: this is the only REAL sequel. They actually seemed to want to do the classic justice this time around. The animation in the other video releases was no better than a TV show, despite some amateurish attempts at CG effects in the ninth. Now, the hand animation looks smooth and fluent, not quite like the first, but good enough to pass with some confidence, since the sequels Disney's churning out aren't exactly masterpieces. The CGI is the most noticeably improved: the trees, the rocks, the water, every non-character element is CG, except for when a character hits the wanter - then you see a hand-drawn splash.The voice acting is much better. The filmmakers didn't just walk up to a random guy on the street and ask him if he could read. Some celebrities tag along for this finale. I heard that someone heard that a good source had confirmed that XI was in the works: I don't think so, or hope so. The narrator certainly seemed to say that was it, since he just said that Littlefoot and his dad would have some more adventures, and everything turned out hunky-dory. So I doubt that they'd have the audacity to make another sequel. I think if you're a Don Bluth fan (this ISN'T a Bluth film), you'll like The Land Before Time. If you do, there isn't any real need to see any of the sequels but The Land Before Time X: The Great Longneck Migration. It's the only REAL sequel to Bluth's masterpiece.

********BEWARE OF POSSIBLE SPOILERS!*************The Land Before Time was one of my favorite movies when I was around 4-5. It actually taught me about death. It's a cherished childhood memory, therefore I'd like to see it treated with a little respect. Instead I've seen it abused over the years, milked for sequels whenever the studio goes broke. Each one is worse than the last, chock full of fruity singing. So wasn't I surprised when I saw LBT X!Honestly, it's like a breath of fresh air after being stuck downwind from a fart. Where do I begin? First of all, the voice acting is better. Instead of paying some homeless guy with a sandwich and a roll of toilet paper, some actual celebrities were hired. And who should be supplying the voice of the most important character, but Kiefer Sutherland! This is a big thing for me, I'm a huge Kiefer fan. So much that I don't really give a toot about other important people voicing other important longnecks.Second of all, the plot of the first movie ties in with this one. In all the other sequels, Littlefoot is just happy as a clam and never mentions or even thinks about his mother. For the love of cake, people, she died in front of him! If your mother was shredded apart by a vicious dinosaur and you were left to survive yourself, would you be frolicking around singing songs? I don't know about you, but I'd be cowering in my "safe corner". Not to mention Littlefoot's home is rife with morons. But not in this movie. Here, a series of dreams leads Littlefoot to a place where he meets his father. Finally he's forced to take off his rose-colored sunglasses and remember his past. The result is a movie that's at least somewhat mature.A nicely thought out plot (parts actually mirror a fan fiction story I wrote), Kiefer Sutherland voicing Littlefoot's father, and I really don't think there were quite as many songs. All together I'm more than satisfied with this movie. Granted, there are better cartoons out there to entertain you. But if you were a fan of the first movie and are disgusted with the sugary sequels, I think you'll find Land Before Time X pleasantly refreshing.
