In einem Land vor unserer Zeit IV – Im Tal des Nebels: Directed by Roy Allen Smith. With John Ingle, Candace Hutson, Heather Hogan, Rob Paulsen. When Littlefoot grandfather falls ill, The dinosaurs only way to cure him is a flower in the forbidding land of mist which hold unexpecting perils and danger.

“The original u0026quot;Land Before Timeu0026quot; is a beautiful, haunting, poignant and timeless masterpiece, I still tear up whether I hear the main theme and at Littlefootu0026#39;s motheru0026#39;s death. As far as the sequels go, some are good and some are bad. The best ones for me have been u0026quot;Great Valley Adventureu0026quot; and u0026quot;Time of the Great Givingu0026quot;. This one wasnu0026#39;t bad, but it isnu0026#39;t great. Starting with the good, the animation is mostly very nice, not the same visual style as the original, but it is colourful. The rainbow waterfall shot was beautiful. There is also a nice message about friendship and sticking together. The main characters are likable enough with the exception of Cera, Littlefoot is less bossy here, and Ducky still is funny and cute. Ali is a nice addition too. And Spike spoke, that was a great moment! The plot is a nice idea and moves along fairly quickly, and the voice acting of Scott McAfee, Heather Hogan, Linda Gary and Kenneth Mars was excellent. And it was a big bonus hearing that beautiful poignant main theme from the original and in general the incidental music was lovely. However, this is where the bad comes in. I didnu0026#39;t care for the songs, I just found them forgettable but maybe it is just me. I didnu0026#39;t like Cera very much here, I know people who complain that Cera was never a likable character to begin with, maybe so, but I found her particularly bratty here. My main problem were with the villains here, despite the voicing of Tress MacNeille and Jeff Bennett, two extremely talented voice actors, I found Dil and Ichy lame and un-threatening. In general, the dialogue, with the villains primarily was uninspiring. My next gripe is with the sequels in general, this film and most of the other sequels are too short, you never quite feel the depth and the emotional attachment that was there in the original, no matter how hard the makers try. Overall, this isnu0026#39;t bad, but it isnu0026#39;t all that great. 5/10 Bethany Cox”
