I’ll briefly discuss what I feel about these movies.
TLBT – Pros: It’s original, perilous, and mature. This movie is not afraid to show the harsh realities of life.
Cons: Too short.
TLBT2 – Pros: Introduces an interesting scenario between a carnivore and an herbivore.
Cons: Loose continuity, change in tone of this movie compared to the original, weak “villains”, and unnecessary singing. There is no point of adding songs if it does not provide any impact into the actual story nor will it progress the plot. It is just a waste of time. Animation has taken a step down from the original.
TLBT3 – Pros: The peril factor picks up after the second and it has a decent battle scene against a bunch of raptors.
Cons: Incredibly slow in presentation and throughout. The bully as “villains” is a poor attempt to add conflict against the protagonists. Parents are, unfortunately dense than the children. I thought these adults were supposed to be wise…
TLBT4 – Pros: Atmosphere is somewhat similar to the original film, but not entirely. Good amount of emotion. Interesting characters. Good sense of teamwork.
Cons: Too many characters with little to no character development. Weak and incompetent villains. The potential in this movie could not be reached.
TLBT5 – Pros: Effort has been into this film. Chomper returns and seems to have grown compared to the rest of the gang. Decent songs.
Cons: Story is somewhat convoluted. Overuse of the red colors in the sky. The characters show more emotion than the sky itself. The sky is overacting. Perilous moments are quickly dissolved after many convenient moments. For example, where did Elsy come from?
TLBT6 – Pros: …Admiring a hero I guess?
Cons: Like the fourth film, we are introduced to characters that have little to no character development. Dinah, Danah and the lone dinosaur are plot devices to fill up this hour long “adventure.” This film has a very weak story and is not entertaining. The peril factor is slowly going down.
TLBT7 – Pros: Very interesting villains. Decent character development in most characters.
Cons: Good ideas, bad execution. Lack of information about this meteorite and why it is the focus of the main characters. At this point, the gangs’ parents aren’t even parents anymore. They served no purpose, whatsoever. The story overall is confusing. Why was Ducky Duck-napped and why was there an extraterrestrial presence in this film?
TLBT8 – Pros: Decent development of Spike, finally. Introduction to perilous snowstorms. Decent cold atmosphere.
Cons: Another film with potential, but weak execution. Tippy is pointless and gender is somewhat undetermined for a child that may not know if it is male or female due to its voice pitch and color scheme. These Sharpteeth are slowly, but surely becoming a joke the further these films go on.
TLBBT9 – Pros: Mo and big water. …that’s all I got. Okay, CGI animation was introduced.
Cons: This film is dragging its dinosaur-sized feet. Too many pointless fillers and it is incredibly boring. I thought the third film was slow, but this film takes the cake. The plot isn’t even inspiring. This film is tired. If you analyze certain shots and scenes, you will notice how slow the film actually is. Mo’s supposed death is passable.
TLBT10 – Pros: Decent animation compared to the last film. Certain characters were introduced quite well. Good sense of adventure. Dads are an important part of the family.
Cons: Bron’s appearance and the fact that he is Littlefoots father is vague and unnecessary. The motives of these longnecks was pointless. Lack of logical reasoning for the longnecks ambitious adventure.
TLBT11 – Pros: Great voice actors. The colors have improved somewhat.
Cons: This film is the start of many things that should not be suppressed: maturity, character development, action, peril, emotion and entertainment. Where and why is there tiny dinosaurs? Ver little effort was put into this film.
TLBT12 – Pros: …I can’t think of any.
Cons: Completely forgettable. The film is okay, but it is still forgettable.
TLBT13 – Pros: …
Cons: Why is Cuba Gooding Jr, one of my favorite actors a yellow belly? Why are their yellow bellies? Why is the quality of this film so bad? Why did the gang even tag along with these fools? This film is an epic fail.
