3. The Land Before Time (1988)
Every kid goes through a dinosaur phase, and The Land Before Time movies had a lot to do with making those phases drag on. Nearly an entire generation of kids can tell you what kind of dinosaurs these are: a three-horn, spike tail, long neck, a swimmer and a flier. Are any of them the actual names of dinosaurs? Of course not, but teaching defining traits to kids to point them out is still amazing!
The Land Before Time has a series of movies, most of them not having to with the ones before or after, but they’re a childhood staple for any kid who has an interest in dinosaurs. Between this and Anastasia, kids who are curious about history will be set until they can do their own research.
