Goofs:

Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): While Pterano is flying with his henchmen after they had kidnapped Ducky, he clearly has a completely different color scheme. His skin is a greenish blue while in the rest of the movie, it's a brownish orange.

Quotes:

[shows planets in space and Petrie starts to narrate]
Petrie:A long, long time ago, when big dots in sky were even more shiny and great circle real smooth - not pockety like now. And whole world very different. But then, there were no threehorn, no longneck - not even sharptooth! No, only one type animal, which fill sky with mighty screech and big blubby sound. This most smart, most brave and handsome creature to ever rule world. The fliers!
Cera:*What!* Hold it right there! That's not even *close* to the way it happens.

The best sequel so far

Littlefoot observes a "stone of cold fire" fall into the Mysterious Beyond but everyone thinks he imagines it, apart from Petrie's uncle, Pterano.

This film has a serious message about how we should take responsibility for our actions. It also explains that goodness can be found even in a person who seems bad.

Pterano and his henchmen are entertaining new villains, especially Pterano. He basks in his assumed greatness and demonstrates a range of emotions. He is excellently voiced by Michael York. Two other new characters are a pair of "rainbow faces" who encourage Littlefoot in his quest for knowledge. They are mysterious right up to the surprise ending which I won't give away.

The youngsters are as cute as ever, especially Ducky and Petrie, who are given more to do than normal. The best song is sung by Pterano. The animation isn't top notch but that is only to be expected from a straight to video release. It can be enjoyed by adults. (I'm 23)

Rating 9/10
