LAND BEFORE TIME IX: JOURNEY TO BIG WATER (Direct-to-Video USA 2002)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 3.8|5.0 Starsììì

Land Before Time IX: Journey to Big Water—not as good as the film before it—serves as a decent, clean children’s watch that needs no supervision by the adult. Average fare that does not serve up a particularly interesting story, but the animation continues to improve within the series and noticeably shows that improvement in this watch.

Buy a ticket? Yes? No? Maybe?

Maybe. This movie, part of a long series, serves the child watch, but does not serve the child/adult share entertainment audience.
