This Creepy Crawlies installment is part of certain category of LBT films.
To me they can be broken into categories:
The Darker Chapters
-The darker films, at this point only one really falls into this category.
The Land Before Time 1988
The Best and Balanced Sequels
-Has elements of the Original's Tension and Peril, Emotional Depth, and Great Storytelling.
The Land Before Time IV: Journey Through Mists
The Land Before Time VI: The Secret of Saurus Rock
The Land Before Time VII: The Stone of Cold Fire
The Land Before Time X: The Great Longneck Migration
The Sweeter Sequels
-Singing set ups, and the peril feels rather like Superman film, no one is going to die.
The Land Before Time II: The Great Valley Adventure
The Land Before Time III: The Time of Great Giving
The Land Before Time V: The Mysterious Island
The Land Before Time IX: Journey to Big Water
The Land Before Time XIV: Journey of the Brave (Almost fell into Simpler sec)
The Simpler Sequels
-Dialogue was dumbed down; at times it verges on babyish, and the stories are simpler. The Great Day of Flyers and Invasion of Tinysaurs are fun, but less complicated than say The Great Longneck Migration and Journey Through Mists.
The Land Before Time IX: Invasion of the Tinysaurs
The Land Before Time XII: The Great Day of Flyers
The Land Before Time XII: The Wisdom of Friends
The Land Before Time Series
