LAND BEFORE TIME II: THE GREAT VALLEY ADVENTURE (VHS Release USA 1994)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 3.9|5.0 Starsììì

Land Before Time II: The Great Valley Adventure—cute , innocent, child minded—does not serve the adult audience. This movie greatly improves on the first movie because it finally finds its place and understands the audience that it must appeal to…these films do not work as adult/child share movies, as the first movie tries to do. This movie finds its niche market and finally earns that higher rating because it understands the audience this story was meant, from the outset, to serve.
