I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

Watch something else. There are very few redeeming qualities to this film.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

"The Land Before Time 2" was a good film. It slightly altered the tone of the original film (which remains a true classic and the best of the series) with it's use of songs. It still had a fine mix of action, character development and of course introduced "Chomper". For me, sequels 3 and 4 were not that appealing, with unnecessary secondary characters that "dumbed down" the films. Part 5 returns to the nice tone established in part 2. There is adventure, surprise developments both in story and with the characters. And best of all we learn what happened to Chomper. If you want a true "trilogy" with a story arc, I recommend watching the original, then part 2 and then part 5. What an epic!

This is a good LBT, not the best, but certainly is up ahead of quite a few of the others. One weird thing about this LBT: This was directed by Charles Grosvenor and (except for LBT7) all of his later ones did not have as much action, heart, kindness or plot and story as this. Yes, some of his other ones are good as well and yes, they do have action, heart, kindness, plot and story, but not in the same way as this one. The animation in this is also similar to the films before that and it is luckily good quality LBT animation as well.?The plot is also very interesting, gripping and a little bit more heartwrenching than a lot of other LBTs (even more so than some of the ones before Charles Grosvenor). The first ten minutes or so is very gripping and exciting, showing a swarm of "evil" locusts ridding the great valley of all green. The film goes on, everyone in the valley has to leave to find more food in the dreaded mysterious beyond. The children (Littlefoot, Cera, Ducky, Petrie and Spike), go along with this. As the film goes on we see much betrayal, hard work, teamwork and hope. These feelings are expressed in a different way than a lot of the other LBTs and hopefully this will give pleasure to all who watch it (except for those who think that there should be no LBT sequels, however good they are).? ? So, enjoy "Land Before Time V: The Mysterious Island". :-)?7 and a half out of ten.

I remember this once as this one was made in 1997, this one is about when the great valley gets destroyed my moskitoes as they steal all the food in the great valley. The dinosaurs get hungry as then they all stick together to find more green food. Littlefoot and his friends set off with out them the next day, leaving foot prints so that the grown ups can follow them, the little ones end up on a mysterious island as then they finally meet Chomper again.

one of the most boring, stupid movies I've ever seen. I would never show it to my children. Children's movies should be entertaining, or at least even vaguely educational. This movie is neither.
