One of the best films i have seen
Not even bad in a good way
Horrible, fascist and poorly acted
I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.
View MoreAs I have given good reviews to The Great Valley Adventure, The Time Of The Great Giving, Journey Through The Mists, and The Mysterious Island, you may be curious to know how I like the 6th installment in the series. Well, as a Land Before Time fan, I think that The Secret Of Saurus Rock is just as great. Doc/The Lone Dinosaur is a nice addition and Cera's twin nieces Dinah and Dana are adorable, although I do have to wonder where they came from since although Cera mentions having sisters in the first movie, we never see them again. The dream sequences also add a nice and very artistic touch. But probably the most interesting plot element was Saurus Rock and how it supposedly protects the Great Valley from afar and the idea, continued from the 4th and 5th movies, that the valley isn't entirely immune from outside influence. Saurus Rock itself gives the movie a very fascinating mystical element that is only added to in the next movie. See you next time, where I review The Land Before Time VII: The Stone Of Cold Fire.
View MoreThis film may not have the exact same charm and originality from the first Land Before Time, but all-in-all, this is an even better sequel than the previous films and even surpasses "The Time of the Great Giving" as the best of the series.Sure, the story's episodic, although the lesson about responsibility was very nice to educate the young, and the dialog may felt clunky at times, but there are some redeeming qualities that make this worth watching. The animation is very decent and the backgrounds are really nice. The songs, although not memorable, are very pleasant to listen to especially the song "Lone Dinosaur" and "Bad Luck". The reused music from the original is great and the pacing moves along very briskly.The characters are still very decent as is Cera's baby twins Dana and Dinah and boy were they so adorable you just want to pinch those cheeks of theirs. The strongest aspect is the voice acting with Kris Kristofferson's greatest cameo as Doc, the lone dinosaur.Overall, not excellent, but still a very watchable sequel to the series. Thumbs up!
View MoreThe first one I watched with dad and my younger relatives. Secret of Saurus Rock is great! As I said, the 2nd best LBT(of course,the first is the best)! The young 'uns loved reenacting the fights with their little toys. (SPOILER) It's the time of the changing treestars (autumn). Littlefoot and co. are told an old dinosaur myth about the lone dinosaur and the Saurus Rock made in his honor by grandpa. All's well and dandy, but we see two baby threehorns Dina and Dana, Cera's "neices"(I don't think she's old enough to be an aunt, probably younger cousins). Then, when playing "lone dinosaur", Lil'foot falls of a small cliff but is rescued by a diploDOCus named Doc. It turns out that, after a talk with Lil'foot, Doc could be the lone dinosaur. The twins sneak off to Saurus Rock and followed by the gang. A tooth of the teeth circle around S.R.'s neck falls off. Legend claims that if SR is damaged, bad luck will come(it did). An encounter with an Allosaurus follows. Grownups accuse Doc for the luck. Lil'foot goes off to "fix" the luck. Find out the rest by your self(SPOILERS END) Overall, a great sequel for the continuing series.
View MoreI have enjoyed watching this film with my 5-year old daughter many times. The typical hokey references to evolution are overshadowed by a good story line, memorable scenes and pleasant characters. Doc (Kris Kristofferson), the Lone Dinosaur, is a real treat.
