The Land Before Time XIII: The Wisdom of Friends

Having enjoyed most of the sequels, particularly Stone of Cold Fire, Time of the Great Giving and Great Valley Adventure, I was greatly disappointed in this sequel and consider it the worst of the franchise. The voice acting is a redeeming quality and the film moved quickly, but everything else didn't work for me. This sequel does have disappointingly lacklustre animation, complete with choppy editing, and the music is forgettable at best. Other cons are clichéd and lazy dialogue, an episodic plot and the voice acting is only variable, some are good but others are not great at all. As for the characters, Littlefoot is at his least likable and heroic, and Petrie is annoying. And Cera? I know people say she is bratty, but here she is really bratty. Overall, disappointing and almost unwatchable for me. 2/10 Bethany Cox

This was the last "Land Before Time" movie, at least for awhile. It's one of the worst in the whole series, although it doesn't really have much of a lower rating than most of the other sequels. This movie features Littlefoot and his friends finding a bunch of dinosaurs called yellow bellies. They need to help them find their herd. Halfway through the movie, they actually do, so the movie's over, right? Nope. It just extends into an even more pointless movie as the gang helps the yellow bellies around. Oh, and the sharptooths appear and are weaker than ever.

One even has a massive scar and he can't do anything! Anyway, the animation probably isn't worse than the other movies. What makes this worse is that these yellow bodies are so annoying. They have these bad voices and are mostly dumb. We have to deal with these guys the whole movie and they're easily the worst guest characters in the movies. We get some moral about following more on instinct than wisdom or something like that. It's very clichéd and makes for a lame movie. *1/2

Honestly, I can't understand all the hate people have for this movie, like, I know that Universal abused the Land Before Time brand for many years by making 14 movies, all of them being inferior to the first movie because they were too childish, musical and with slow paced stories. I watched most of the sequels as a child and now that I'm older I can't like them anymore, but I never saw this film as a child and honestly, I found it much more fun than the previous sequel films. I can understand that many prefer that style of dramatic story with crying and violent and threatening tyrannosauruses, but the childish aspect of the sequences made the drama and action very boring to watch. This film, however, tries to be different from the previous films. Instead of forcing another boring story with drama, it tries to go for a more humorous side with comedy. The Yellow Bellies are very funny characters. It helps that the director of this film had already worked on Disney animations, which made the film have a better humor than the previous films. And seriously guys, you're really harsh, attacking even the characters in the film. Some previous films have scripts that are much more idiotic than this film. The sixth film was one of the worst films I've ever seen. The biggest positive about The Wisdom of Friends is that it doesn't try to force itself to feel like a cheap Don Bluth rip-off like the previous 12 sequels did.

The Land Before Time XIII: The Wisdom of Friends, ah, the 13th installment in the Land Before Time series, I can't believe I've seen all the movies. I love how everyone makes fun and says that there are five million of these movies, it's not exactly like they went into the movie theater or anything. Personally, I think this is all good, why not introduce our beloved characters to a new generation. Not to mention that these stories are a small way of teaching kids how to act. I'd rather have my child watching this vs. Hannah Montana, which I'm still convinced is hypnotizing children to become Miley Cyrus's trained soldiers. But it's good to see the gang together once again in this fun little story about sharing.

Littlefoot, Cera, Spike, Petrie and Ducky are excited to meet two goofy and lovable yellow-bellied dinosaurs named Loofah and Doofah, who have lost their way while traveling to the distant Berry Valley. Loofah and Doofah seem to be too clumsy to find the way back, so Littlefoot and the others decide to help their new friends while sharing important life lessons called Wisdoms along the way. By the time they reach Berry Valley, Littlefoot realizes that even though the Yellow Bellies don't follow his Wisdoms very well, their silly techniques work just fine.

The Land Before Time XIII: The Wisdom of Friends was a nice addition to the story. It wasn't by any means my favorite of the series, it does get a little cheesy after a while, but it's all good. Like I said before, these movies are bashed by everyone without being given a fair chance. These movies are just a new way of showing younger kids how to act in life, even though these are the morals that our beloved Barney has provided, I have a feeling that these movies don't insult the kid's intelligence as much. They have fun songs, good animation and our great gang of friends that are always a joy to see on screen. I do recommend this movie for the family, give it a fair chance, these movies were not bad at all.

5/10

According to Revelations 5:10, this is the first sign of the end times.

This movie is the cancer that is killing film.

Cuba Gooding Junior's Oscar should be revoked for his participation in this cesspool.

If I ever find my kids viewing this film, I will raise them to become feral children.

I have very literally never, in my entire life, been so disappointed by a motion picture.

This movie is the worst thing every animated, and doesn't deserve to have been made.

I've seen every Land Before Time and this is by far the worst one ever!

This movie should be buried and never dug up!

I hate this movie, oh man words do not describe this how much this movie sucks!

Don't watch this movie!
