Land Before Time started something big. Land Before Time II was too experimental. Land Before Time III was fun. Land Before Time IV introduced a darker and more serious plot but had some annoying twists like hardly anyone dying.
Land Before Time V wasn't very strong in the story department but made up for it with some neat gimmicks. Land Before Time VI is widely renowned but gets pretty controversial in its second half. Land Before Time VII definitely took the series to new heights but gets a lot of flak for it anyway. Land Before Time VIII was much more character-driven but had some really odd revelations like all the dinosaurs having come from the same egg or something.
Land Before Time IX is often credited with bringing the series back to its roots before Land Before Time X took it farther away than ever with a cool plot and an annoying lead. Land Before Time XI is still popular to this day but a lot of the core fans don't care for it. Land Before Time XII is infamous for its director walking away from it.
Land Before Time XIII was entirely too linear, man.
