"The Land Before Time IX: Journey to Big Water"

Well, welcome to my one year and seven month anniversary. Once again, I am going to commemorate this big milestone by watching (yet) another Land Before Time movie (Why do I keep doing this to myself?). Shall we begin?

Background

Now, like with most Land Before Time movies (with the exception of the first one), I can not find ANY behind the scenes facts with this. One thing I did find, however, this is the last Land Before Time movie to use James Horner's original score (it is ashamed because it is one of the only things connecting the sequels to the original).

Plot:

This movie is about rain causing a big flood in the Great Valley. And then Littlefoot meets up with a dolphin named Moe. Then, and earthquake hits the Great Valley which cuts off the kids from the adults. This means that it's up to the the heroes to get back to where they came from. So Littlefoot, Sarah, Petri, Ducky, and Spike must get Moe back were he came from and to get back to the adults.

Opinion:

This movie is REALLY bad. It's FAR worse than the forth movie. Let's start with the good stuff. The character animation is passable. The original score is good. And the song at the end credits sung by Donnie Osmond is pretty good (the song by Donnie Osmond is also is sung during the movie by the main characters with less-favorable results. Now, let's begin with the bad stuff. I said that the character animation is passable. But, what is NOT good is the CGI in the movie. That is absolutely horrendous. The songs are really bad. They even re-used a song from the fifth movie while just re-writing a couple of words. It was originally a bad song and the recycled version fared no better. The characters are NOT memorable. The directing is AWEFUL. There are a couple of scientific inaccuracies in this movie. For example, the land just cracked open during the earthquake. There is far more bad stuff, but it would take me two hours to get through it all. Overall, this movie EASILY earns the coveted “Golden Garbage Can Award”. This is the third such award for this series...with five more to go (to date)! Goodnight, and Bee Happy!™
