I didn't remember much from when i saw it as a kid, so I watched it again a few years as an adult. I love history, this movie had a few dark moments like you see in a lot of Don Bluth animated films. Overall it's not a bad movie, but it's a bit aged.
Big Bird runs away from his new foster home.

2.5/4 (Okay).

I love dumb jokes and Muppets, so I'm happy enough to watch this movie. But the story is bad, the music is bad, the acting is bad... It was made well after Sesame Street's prime, and features almost nothing of what made the show great.
An immigrant mouse is separated from his family.

2/4 (Indifferent).

That's a Very Long 80 Minutes. It's too poorly developed for adults, and too heavy and serious for kids. Reading some trivia about it gives me the impression that the target audience was What Nostalgic Boomers Wanted Their Kids To Like - a movie made for merchandise and ticket sales, not to entertain its audience.

This time, while building a hideaway in their new home of the Great Valley, Littlefoot and the gang rescue a mysterious egg from two scheming egg-nappers and make a starling surprise - and new friend - when the egg hatches.
