    Maybe it's the pure blandness of the previous entries, but this stands out amongst the sequels as a genuine treat. The animation isn't that great, but there's enough story to go around.

The subject of adoption is handled pretty well for a straight-to-video, talking dinosaur movie. In Ducky, we feel the love behind her contempt and the contempt behind her love.

Littlefoot also learns about dignity in an enjoyable, if less engaging, subplot.

Heartbroken, Ducky goes off on her own looking for Spike and Littlefoot and his friends follow.
