The Land Before Time XIII: The Wisdom of Friends

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.

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

Excellent series! I do not understand the low ratings and reviews, they seem to be given by adults reviewing cartoons intended for kids. Have they consulted some kids before rating/reviewing? My guess is they haven't.

My daughters (7 and 8) absolutely LOVED all of them, to the point where they were impersonating various characters, making lego dinosaurs and even dreaming about dinosaurs.

I asked them to rate the movie and they both said 10/10 with a big grin.

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

MCSaurus on DeviantART is honestly one of LBT's biggest fans, many people may not like this film but still, there's a lot of effort against this rare but AWESOME film! The TV Series may seem rare but children love it, And if all YOU people don't like it...then look again. You should check out MCSaurus' Artwork right now, and believe me it looks both gay AND cool! He even has his very own LBT Franchise the 'Bellisaurs' that looks totally cool X3 His dinosaur stuff is brilliant and so too does this film, Films 2-12 may seem a little sluggish and boring but at least like them! PLEASE! Spread this godly moment right here on IMDb, Children are good with rare films, and rare films are good with them, Except Romeo & Juliet Sealed with a Kiss (2006) Which was pathetic!!!
