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.

Excellent series! I do not understand the low ratings, they seem to be given by adults reviewing kids' cartoons.

My daughters (7 and 8) absolutely LOVED all of them, to the point where they were impersonating various characters, making lego dinosaurs and even dreaming about it.
