8/10
The beginning of a great series

Warning: Spoilers
Don Bluth directs a fine movie about four young baby dinosaurs named Littlefoot (Gabriel Damon) an Apatosaurus, Cera (Candace Hutson) a Triceratops, Ducky (Judith Barsi), Petrie (Will Ryan) a Pterasaur, and Spike a Stegosaurus.

The plot makes you feel that you are actually Littlefoot, who has to go in search of a land that is said to be better than the one that he now lives in after a Sharptooth, a Tyrannosaur, killed his mother (Helen Shaver). Along the way he makes friends with Ducky, Petrie, Spike and then Cera.

Witnessing the birth of Spike, then seeing him eating the grass that hid his egg is so cool. The fight scene with Littlefoot's mother and the Sharptooth is so tragic that you want to cry. Littlefoot and his friends battling and then killing the sharp tooth before they enter the land that they are searching for is just a perfect ending to a great movie.

Pat Hingle, did a terrific job of the narrator, it really makes it seem that you are right smack into the film. The graphics are nicely done and the voice work is fantastic. This film was followed by eleven sequels which are just as good as the original. I recommend this to every family that have children.
