The Land Before Time
When The Land Before Time premiered, Janet Maslin of the New York Times called Don Bluth “a true purist in the world of modern animation,” admiring his animation style, for its “harking back to the best of Disney,” and its insight into the thinking of children—so authentic it “should charm adults as well.”
Her praise for the film also encompasses its narrative strengths—particularly its modern story line, which “owes a debt to the theories of mythology espoused by Joseph Campbell, whose ideas found a pop cultural outlet in George Lucas's Star Wars.
In congruence with the patterns Mr. Campbell detected in the myths of many different cultures, the film sets forth the idea that a loved one must die to make possible the exploits of a young hero, in this case a tiny brontosaurus named Littlefoot.”
