Review of The Land Before Time V: The Mysterious Island

As I have mentioned before, I'm a big fan of the Land Before Time series and I think that this is one of the great entries along with the original and The Stone Of Cold Fire. The story involves the gang bickering over who gets the last leaf from a tree, despite Petrie being an obligate carnivore, when a swarm of leaf-gobblers (locusts) eat everything in the valley, forcing the dinosaurs to find a new temporary home. While wandering across the desert they stumble upon the ocean and spot an island covered in greenery. They manage to travel to the island and spend the night there, discovering the next morning that it's where Chomper and his family have taken up refuge. I won't spoil the rest of the story, but what I will say is that there is a lot to like about The Mysterious Island. The songs are Big Water, Always There, and Friends For Dinner. Always There is very sweet and beautiful, as well as being the first time Littlefoot mentions his mother, Big Water is very funny, especially with all the descriptions of creatures that might be in the water, and Friends For Dinner is also funny, especially the play on words. Finally, I like that Chomper came back since he's so cute and funny.
