[edit] Plot

When the dinosaur families get trapped in a valley by an ice storm, one family of "spike tail" dinosaurs volunteers to leave since they consume more food than the others. Meanwhile, the young dinos and a new adult dinosaur named Mr. Thicknose, who professes to be a know-it-all, head out to bring back their friend Spike, who has left his friends to be with members of his own species.

[edit] Goofs

• Ducky's mother said there were no other spike-tails in the Great Valley but other spike-tails are seen in the Great Valley in the past sequels.

[edit] Trivia

• This was the fifth time Spike has ever spoken; his cry of "Mama!" as he falls into the river and when Tippy's mother asks if he smells something and he says "Mm-hm".
• This was the first time that the closed captions performer is the WGBH Media Access Group. This group was in the VHS version, but the DVD version used the same SDH captions as the previous sequels; this film was released before the first five sequels were released on DVD.
