Mines will always be the Land Before Time. This film still grabs my attention. The animation, as well as the story is just incredible for a kids movie. The Land before Time draws in so much mystical references, that it actually works well with this movie. Seeing how Littlefoot communicates with his mother from the dead is interesting, but yet touching. The characters in this movie are great. You get to feel so much emotion out of all of these dinosaurs, that even the adults would want to know how they are going to get to the Great Valley. They each symbolize different virtue, such as courage, strength, joy and humbleness. And let\'s not forget the T-rex, who is called Sharp-tooth in this movie, who\'s virtue is fear. He is as close to a villain in this movie that you would ever get, and he is very frightening too. Another thing about this film is how the tone of this movie is evenly balanced. What I mean by that is that as much fun as it is to watch, it also has that feel of a drama too. The emotional scenes in this movie doesn\'t drone out the kids, nor does it get boring at all. Sometimes, it can get really emotional, even when you put in, what I think is the most saddest moment in movie history. EVER!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AgJhVgK0tPI Even today I cry watching that scene. That\'s what I love about this movie. Don Bluth knows how to capture the hearts of the children that he views his movies to, and he does a pretty gosh darn job at it. The most interesting thing that I just recently found out about this movie is that the executive producers of this movie were Steven Spielberg and George Lucas. I never noticed that, till after I posted the poster on the screen. And come to think about it, this might have brought Spielberg to make Jurassic Park, six years after this movie was made. Could it be that this movie gave him the idea to make that movie? We can only imagine. That is if anyone has the answer to this question.
