Though I can't speak for the sequals, I will say the first film is absolutely amazing. The characters are great, the plot's fantastic, heck, even the MUSIC gets to be epic from time to time.
That being said, it is very dark. While Bambi tried to follow up his mother's death with a lighthearted scene, Land Before Time doesn't even try. Littlefoot becomes very realistically depressed, and trust me when I say your five year old will be able to tell.
If I had to sum up the movie in a word, I'd have to use 'memorable'. I haven't properly seen this movie in a little over a decade, but I remember it vividly. I would reccomend previewing it before letting your kids watch it.
Fantastic, but Dark
