As a parent I often have to sit through many children's programs. Although I am not as fond of cartoons as when I was younger, I must admit "The Land Before Time" held my interest and my children loved it. The story is about a group of young dinosaurs of different species on a search for the great valley, where the will have lots of water and green food (leaves etc). Along the way they must overcome many obstacles including eluding the fearsome Sharp Tooth (Tyrannosaurus). The film is followed by a slew of direct to video sequels, some OK and some not-so-good. Still the 1st is definitely the best.
