Synopsis

Spoiler shield

As the Great Day of the Flyers nears, the Great Valley's flying youngsters are eager to participate in the annual exhibition to show off their skills. Everyone, that is, except free-spirited pterodactyl Petrie, whose individualism causes problems when it comes to staying in formation. Enter his dinosaur pals Littlefoot, Cera, Spike and Ducky, who encourage Petrie to embrace his uniqueness.

Guido might be the worst character yet. Also about a third of this movie's runtime is dinosaurs saying "No, Guido" while he sleepwalks for no reason. Final rating:★½: - Boring/disappointing. Avoid where possible.
