It was a pretty good movie

Yeh, I watched this movie when I was 5-6 years old. It was a very emotional movie in just that one scene when Littlefoot's mom dies. I think it's a good experience to the younger kids to get along and work together. I really didn't like Cera at all. She is such a b.... Their were some dinosaurs that I haven't even heard of. I always liked to watch the scene where Cera and Littlefoot were having a fight. I can't believe Littlefoot didn't win. I would beat the living crap out of her if she said mean things to my mom. Cera got a payback when she went the wrong way. So, it wasn't that bad of a movie. This movie is a great experience to young children.

Overall, It's Cute & Colorful

There are some beautiful colors in this animated film, nice golden hues mixed with purples that are very pleasing to see. The lead character is likable little guy called "Littlefoot." Most of the scenes with the T-Rex might be a little scary for the little kids. The little dinosaurs are all ones you laugh with and enjoy.There are touches of New Age and secular humanism in here, which is no surprise, that being especially expected with a Steven Spielberg film, even an innocent cartoon adventure. However, all in all, pretty good and a decent hour-and-a-half of animated entertainment that adults should enjoy, too.

if we hold on together.....

I just revisited this movie for the first time since my childhood. It's difficult to analyze this movie because it is the definition of a children's movie. The plot is very simple and the run time is pretty short. That being said there is a lot of emotion here and the characters learn things about themselves and each other and the world on their journey. The art and animation is great but I was always bothered by how the main child characters look very cutsey and cartooney while their parents look like someone seriously drawing a dinosaur. It is hard to criticize decisions like that because children were the target audience but as a 27 year old man I still felt emotional watching it so kudos to the creators. The theme song "if we hold on together" was the perfect song for this movie because it captures that feeling of something horribly depressing happening to somebody but their friends keeping them hopeful.R. I. P Judith. Barsi "Ducky" nobody deserves what happened to her and she never got to see the movie released.R. I. P. Will Ryan "Petrey" I think you played my favorite character of the bunch.....until Spike came along R. I. P. James Horner. This music is amazing and it was the icing on top.
