This movie is good to watch and it is light and uplifting. There is a bit of an 'Ugly Duckling' theme going on with Petrie (and also with Guido) and it also shows how a new sibling as a kid can feel. The song 'Flip, Flap and Fly' is quite good and catchy and will make you feel more happy for Petrie. As usual, with all the HD 'Land Before Time' movies, it is bright and colourful. I am sure all Land Before Time fans will like this as well as children. I have given this a 7/10 because it is a very decent 'Land Before Time' sequel and isn't one of the worst and teaches that it is better to be yourself and make a revolution than trying to fit in when deep down you don't. In some parts of the movie, it probably does drag on a bit such as a certain scene near the middle-end. Overall, it is a good 'Land Before Time' sequel.

The Great Day of the Flyers tells the story of Petrie who has unusual trouble with his flying. Enter Guido, a strange looking creature, who isn't particularly memorable, but a nice character as far as the film goes.As for the film, it is average, but it is one of the better sequels, Time of the Great Giving being the best. The animation isn't too bad, and the characters are still likable. The film does have a sense of cuteness and fun, and one of the main reasons why I saw it was for Ducky, and besides having a different voice actress, she is still the sweet character I fell in love with in the original, which is a beautiful poignant movie, that I still adore at 17.The film does have its faults, I did find the music forgettable, and the dialogue wasn't always as inspiring as it could have been. The story isn't the best in terms of execution, and the film, like the other sequels, further suffers from being too short.Overall, a cute and sweet movie, that is average at best compared to the original, but on its own, it is fun to watch, but perhaps forgettable after a few days. 5/10 Bethany Cox

The Land Before Time XII: The Great Day of the Flyers, the 12th installment in the Land Before Time series, not the best sequel, but still very cute. I can't believe how many sequels there are, not that I'm complaining, just I feel like I'm becoming a dinosaur after seeing all these movies. But I digress, the Great Day of the Flyers is a fun little sequel that deserves more notice and credit than it's given. As silly as these movies are, they provide great lessons, fun animation, good songs, and how could you not enjoy your time with Littlefoot and his friends? It's fun to see who also might be added into the group and I like that the writers are continuing some of the stories like with Cera and her father being with his new girlfriend, Tria. Also this story provides what a lot of kids have to go through, the curiosity of having a new brother or sister added into the family. Or how Petrie doesn't feel so special and wants to be like his brothers and sisters that can fly well. That's why I think these sequels are great for the kids, just a new way of expressing a story to make them feel a little more relatable, except for the flying part, but you get what I mean.Petrie is having a difficult time preparing for "The Day of the Flyers", an important day for all of the flying residents of the Great Valley, when all of the young flyers must participate in a very precise flying exhibition to prove that they are ready to fly with the adults. Always a nervous flyer, Petrie has even more trouble flying with his siblings in precise group formations he's more of an independent, free-style flier. At the same time, a strange newcomer to the Great Valley has Littlefoot and his friends trying to help figure out just exactly what he is. The creature's name is Guido, he's the strangest looking creature any of the Great Valley creatures has ever seen, especially since he's covered with feathers, and has never seen another like himself. Cera is having her own troubles, as her grumpy dad and his new mate, Tria, get ready to welcome a hatchling to the family. All of these issues come together on the night before "The Day of the Flyers", when Guido starts to figure out what he is, inadvertently leading all of the gang on a perilous adventure into the Mysterious Beyond.The Land Before Time XII: The Great Day of the Flyers is a fun little sequel and I can't believe that I'm almost done with these stories, but knowing the writers, I'm sure we'll have a Land Before Time 25 before I die. But I do seriously recommend watching these movies with your family, they're great for the kids and even the adults can get into them. It's silly fun, and I love watching them as cheesy as they may be. My friend says that she won't watch them because of the singing and silly story lines, which I think is a problem for most viewers and not to mention that people are just upset that there are so many of these sequels, but give them a break, they're very good movies. How could you ever not like Petrie or Ducky? If you don't, you have no heart.6/10

I was pleased to collect this latest installment of the series, especially since my favourite character, Petrie, got centre stage. Watch out for cameos from the past, during a flying sequence. Knowing all too well the cruelty of children's team games, Petrie's formation problems invite immediate sympathy. A strange new friend, Guida, helps Petrie realise his individual worth. Meanwhile Cera has a new rival in her father's affections - a baby sister! The inevitable songs are easy on the ear, but forgettable. The first film worked well without them. The colourful 2D animation is impressive. Shame the form is mainly confined to instant DVD now. One of the themes - everything changes - does cause unintentional mirth, considering that this is the 12th adventure. There have been changes to the environment, but the young heroes have stayed exactly the same. 9/10
