Animation producer Don Bluth's fondness for overly cutesy characters and muddy color compositions work to the benefit of his feature-length cartoon The Land Before Time. Littlefoot, a brontosaurus child, must fend for himself when his mother is killed (shades of Bambi). With several other orphaned dinosaurs, Littlefoot seeks out the fabled Great Valley, where food and shelter is plentiful.

The first VHS tape I received would not work properly and I was not disappointed in the service of the provider. Another VHS tape was sent to my home for no extra charge. I would highly recommend this item to others.
