Tracy Moore Common Sense Media Dinosaur sequel offers strong lessons about cooperation. Rated: 3/5 Sep 3, 2013 Full Review Steve Crum Video-Reviewmaster.com Milking the dinosaur franchise once again, and still OK fare for kiddies. Rated: 3/5 Mar 14, 2009 Full Review Alex Sandell Juicy Cerebellum These movies are always good family fun. Rated: 3/5 Jun 10, 2005 Full Review Steve Rhodes Internet Reviews ... sweet and harmless little story that will delight kids who are into the series, but the underdeveloped and formulaic story line will disappoint adult viewers.

Kaito K Better Than The Second Rated 3 out of 5 stars 10/27/24 Full Review matthias s "The Land Before Time 3" is an average animated movie that is unlikely to impress beyond its target audience. While the animation is great, the storyline feels predictable and lacking in imagination. Some of the jokes and songs may entertain younger viewers, but for adults or anyone seeking a compelling plot, it falls short. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 11/09/23 Full Review Cyrus K If you saw the trailers and thought that this would be a grand adventure that would make up for the awfulness that was Land before time 2, then you would be wrong. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/02/23 Full Review Audience Member Contrary to II, even children will grow sick and tired of the songs in this movie. Honestly….I wanted this movie to end so badly. The story wasn’t really that Good, Cera and her Father come across as complete jerks, and the teen bully dinosaurs were completely pointless. Also the songs are starting to over stay their welcome already. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 11/30/21 Full Review joey v This is when the land before time series started to slowly go downhill very underwhelming compared to the first two, there are some dinosaur bullies which are portrayed in a realistic down to earth way As the title suggests this is basically the prehistoric version of thanksgiving still there are good lessons/morals for kids though and even some for parents Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member HOW CAN IT BE THE "TIME OF GREAT GIVING"? IT'S THE LAND BEFORE TIME! NO TIME! ONLY LAND! Worst antagonists yet. Like the 6th-graders from South Park but less believable. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Read all reviews
