Product Description: The small-fry dinosaur friends are back for their ninth outing in this 77-minute movie, but this time they're not the littlest creatures in the Great Valley. A herd of miniature dinos is discovered when Little Foot tries to sneak some "tree sweets," but falls into the tree instead, knocking down all the blossoms. This gives the tiny herd easy access to the food, which they quickly devour and disappear. But instead of taking the blame, Little Foot inadvertently sends the prehistoric adults into a "get Frankenstein" kind of frenzy by blaming the little ones entirely for the loss of the harvest. The kids find the herd first, of course, and protect it from the adults until everyone settles down and accepts each other's differences. A subplot spotlights Cera and her adjustment to Dad dating Tria, a lady Triceratops friend from Dad's past come back to reignite old passions. (Ages 3 to 7)--Kimberly Heinrichs

Customer Reviews
Trash in, Trash out
What were the creators thinking? This is the first of the Land Before Time series we have viewed and frankly I am appalled by it's lack of respect and do not intend to pursue any more of the series. Thank goodness we went to the library first before purchasing it. Even the legitimate moral concern about Little Foot's lying is overshadowed by incompetent parenting by all the adults - from the vicious and disrespectful Topsy to Little Foot's grandfather who is hardly capable of wiping his nose let alone taming an angry adult mob or presenting any sense of positive adult leadership. What you don't know about the movie before you watch it is that the lying storyline isn't the only dominant one. There's also a very dominant storyline of Cera struggling as she watches her father date and perhaps getting a "new mommy". If I had known about that storyline, I would have PASSED entirely as "Daddy dating" wasn't something I really wanted to bring up with my 4 year old. The songs about Dad's is as unbelievable as it gets. Did a creator have some issue with her father that had to be played out for the rest of our youth? Unless you want your daughter to start saying "Dad, give it a rest" (an actual quote from one of the songs in the movie) when asked to obey her father, I would highly recommend you pass on this one.

Good show with solid message for kids
This is a good Land Before Time show. Looked amazing on a BluRay player. Excellent sound, songs, and message. Would like to see better games/bonus features...this isn't a $5 movie, kids love simple games and these movies need to up the ante on bonus features.

A good addition to the Land Before Time Series
The movie has two basic plots to it: Littlefoot telling a little lie that ends up being a huge problem and cera having to learn to share her father with his old girlfriend. The time to eat a new sweet flower is upon the Great Valley and everyone is ready for a taste of the flowers. Littlefoot looking to sneak the first taste knocks down all the flowers off the tree where the Tinysauruses eat all the flowers. Instead of telling the truth, Littlefoot says the tinysauruses ate all the flowers (which they did...but wouldn't have if not for him knocking the flowers down) and leads to what some of the other reviewers complain about. All the adults get mad and forms groups to hunt down and chase off the innocent Tinysauruses. This does show what can happen in the real world when people are confronted with beings they don't understand. The one problem I did have with it was near the end when Cera's dad looked like he was so close to trampling the two main Tinysauruses. Thankfully everything works out in the end. Cera does find the strength to make an attempt to like her dad's girlfriend (which is good because she is a more permanent part of the crowd unlike the other friends that the gang meets each movie to only say goodbye...she is in movie twelve and the television series after all). At first, Cera gets too agressive about the name Tria calls Mr. Threehorn (Topsy) even going to the point of ramming Ducky up into a tree. I think that was a little too far because while Cera was always a stubborn one she never before would hurt any of her friends.

The Land Before Time XI
Great series! These are wonderful stories for kids and I highly recommend them to others.

ABSOLOUTELY ADORABLE!!!!!
This is the cutest film I have ever seen! The animation is beautiful, the songs are great and the little "long necks" are SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO cute!!!!!
The computer animated backgrounds are lovely and the characters are bright and colourful! I loved the songs "Dads and Girls" and "Creepy Crawlies" but the last one was horrible!
My favourite characters were the Little Longnecks like Skitter (SOOO CUTE!), Lizzie, Dusty, Rocky and of course, Big Daddy, who was adorable and so tiny!
I also like Tria, the new character who likes "Topsy" Cera's dad. Cera has to get used to her dad having a girlfriend but, just like all dads with girlfriends, he will always love Cera more then anything! Cera and Tria soon become good friends!
Sure to delight young children who love dinosaurs!!! Like my title says, ABSOLOUTELY ADORABLE!!!!
