Land Before Time-Journey of the Brave_on DVD Feb 2
They’re back and just as fun as ever. Littlefoot, Cera, Ducky, Petrie, and Spike, the beloved dinosaurs from the popular franchise, are together for a new and exciting adventure. The Land Before Time: Journey of the Brave is filled with all the antics of these cute little dinosaurs as well as several memorable songs.

Littlefoot has been anxiously awaiting his annual visit from his father Bron who leads a herd every year. This year, however, something went wrong. Bron was trapped when the “fire mountain” erupted. So Littlefoot decides to trek through the rough landscape to find his dad.

The little longneck is joined by his friends who want to help. Along the way they wind up in several dangerous situations, but in true form they manage to get by. Cera is just as obstinate as always and when she and Littlefoot disagree on the path to take, the gang splits up, with Littlefoot going it alone.

Littlefoot then meets a new friend, Etta (voiced by Reba McEntire). Etta knows Bron and saw what happened to him. She and Littlefoot get trapped in a cave and Etta sings one of the several new songs – “Look for the Light.”

Well, soon the rest of the gang meets up with Littlefoot and Etta and they continue on their journey to help Littlefoot’s father. They learn that together they are stronger than apart.

When the elders learn what the youngsters are doing, they set out to help their children, with the help of two little ones – Chomper and Ruby. If you know the series, you know that Chomper is a “sharptooth,” aka T-Rex, but doesn’t eat other dinosaurs. He is a friend.

The Land Before Time is still a classic movie. This 1988 film inspired TV series and video games. There are also many direct-to-video movies.

This latest adventure introduces Etta and Wild Arms (voiced by Damon Wayans Jr.).

Bonus features on the DVD are several sing-alongs, including the main song by McEntire, “Look for the Light.” Other memorable songs your kids will be singing and you will be humming (over and over again) are “Today’s the Day,” “Hot and Stinky,” and “Better off Alone.” And yes, “Hot and Stinky” is something you won’t be able to get out of your head! 

The Land Before Time: Journey of the Brave is rated G and is fun for the entire family, especially considering these loveable characters have been around for 28 years! Who is your favorite? Is it sweet and caring Ducky? Always hungry Spike? Stubborn Cera? Nervous Petrie? Or loyal Littlefoot?
