Boston Globe -
From its opening evolution sequence of squiggly things in the water through its references to the great circle of life, The Land Before Time embraces a larger perspective than merely that of the adventure story. It's an affecting work, and a work of quality. [18 Nov 1988, p.29]

Chicago Tribune -
It is, in the best Disney tradition, a story of childhood's end, of leaving the family and accepting adult responsibilities. Bluth relates it through a smooth counterpoint of humor, sadness and horror.

Chicago Sun-Times -
I guess I sort of liked the film. although I wonder why it couldn't have spent more time on natural history and the sense of discovery.

TV Guide Magazine -
Bluth, a former Disney animator, understands that the greatest Disney films take us on an emotional journey in which all our hopes and fears are played out in a vivid fantasy world where anything can happen. The Land Before Time continues that great tradition.

Christian Science Monitor -
It's a beautiful movie to watch, and the cartoony characters are as endearing as they come.
