The Land Before Time is a 1988 animated film directed by Don Bluth, and his second collaboration with executive producer Steven Spielberg (following An American Tail). George Lucas was also one of the executive producers.note Interestingly, this is the only project Spielberg and Lucas have officially worked on together outside of the Indiana Jones series.In the original film, a group of dinosaurs leave their disasters-stricken home lands for the Great Valley, a place of promise and opportunity. Along the way, a young brontosaurus ("Long Neck") named Littlefoot becomes separated from his group and watches his mother die to protect him from a Tyrannosaurus Rex ("Sharptooth"). Littlefoot meets up with other young dinosaurs of different species as they try to get back to their families.The first film, made at the dawn of The Renaissance Age of Animation, is well remembered for its excellent character animation and arresting visual atmospherics (both hallmarks of Don Bluth's work),surprisingly complex themes and groundbreaking soundtrack by James Horner. It was also the first major dinosaur film made after the Dinosaur Renaissance reached popular culture, and features the refined image of dinosaurs since then (see Shown Their Work below).The film released its first sequel in 1994, and Universal Cartoon Studios ended up making a sequel almost every year up to 2007, for a grand total of twelve. These sequels (featuring no involvement from any of the original film's creators) took a much Lighter and Softer tone than the original film, a move that alienated them from many of the first movie's fans. Still, others embrace these sequels into the canon of the series and see them as enjoyable, harmless, and frequently heartwarming kids' films that contain unexpectedly deep, complex themes and moral lessons. The series also had a short-running TV show in 2008 that lasted for one season. When this show ended, the series seemed to be headed towards a hard-earned retirement. But on February 2nd, 2016, a fourteenth movie was finally released, and it is the last installment for the series to date. With so many sequels, it would be an unorthodox way to teach kids Roman numerals, alongside some other franchises.The sequels are: 1994 — The Land Before Time II: The Great Valley Adventure: The gang find a mysterious egg just outside the Great Valley and hatch it, discovering it to contain a hatchling Sharptooth they befriend and name "Chomper". 1995 — The Land Before Time III: The Time of the Great Giving: A drought hits the Great Valley, and the dinosaurs within begin to crack under the strain. 1996 — The Land Before Time IV: Journey Through the Mists: Grandpa Longneck gets sick with a deadly illness. With the help of fellow Longneck Ali, Littlefoot and his friends journey to find the "night flowers" that are the cure. 1997 — The Land Before Time V: The Mysterious Island: When locusts consume all the green food in the Great Valley, the herds leave to find more food, but Littlefoot and his friends get stuck on a strange island populated by Sharpteeth... and their old friend Chomper! 1998 — The Land Before Time VI: The Secret of Saurus Rock: Littlefoot meets Doc, an elderly longneck voiced by Kris Kristofferson (the first invokedCelebrity Voice Actor to feature in any of the sequels) he assumes is the folk hero "The Lone Dinosaur," and accidentally damages a very important stone, bringing bad luck to the Valley. 2000 — The Land Before Time VII: The Stone of Cold Fire: The gang, in addition to two mysterious outsiders, must race Petrie's vainglorious, morally-dubious uncle Pterano to find a meteor allegedly imbued with magical properties. Notably the first of the sequels to be animated via digital inking, coinciding with a conspicuous Animation Bump. 2001 — The Land Before Time VIII: The Big Freeze: The Valley is once again put in danger, this time by a massive cold spell, while Spike meets members of his own kind and must decide whether to leave the Valley with them or remain with his adoptive family (and thus Ducky). 2002 — The Land Before Time IX: Journey to Big Water: When the Valley floods, Littlefoot meets a swimming creature (technically an ichthyosaur) called Mo and helps him get back to the ocean (the titular "Big Water"). 2003 — The Land Before Time X: The Great Longneck Migration: Littlefoot and his grandparents, following an instinct endemic to all longnecks, leave the valley to find The Great Circle, with Littlefoot's friends distantly tailing them. Upon reaching their destination (and a multitude of other longnecks), Littlefoot meets his father, Bron. 2005 — The Land Before Time XI: Invasion of the Tinysauruses: After accidentally getting rid of the fruits of a certain tree, Littlefoot blames a colony of tiny Longnecks. Meanwhile, Cera's father gets together with his old girlfriend, Tria. 2006 — The Land Before Time XII: The Great Day of the Flyers: Tria and Cera's father are getting ready to bring a new hatchling into the world. Petrie is having trouble with a precision flying exhibition the flyers are putting on, and the gang helps a microraptor named Guido, who is suffering an identity crisis. 2007 — The Land Before Time XIII: The Wisdom of Friends: Littlefoot and friends help three goofy, haplessly-blundering dinosaurs known as "yellow bellies" to journey to the distant Berry Valley. 2016 — The Land Before Time XIV: Journey of the Brave: After learning that his dad is in trouble, Littlefoot sets off on a rescue mission to find him. Features Chomper's third film appearance, Bron's second and Ruby's first. Takes place after the TV series.If you would like to read the movie storybook by Jim Razzi, click here: https://archive.org/details/landbeforetime00razz/mode/2up

Bloodless Carnage: In a few films like 2, 3, 4, 6, 10, and 11. Inverted in 5, which has visible blood at least twice. Even the first movie, which is by far the most violent, didn't have a single drop of blood shown.

That Reminds Me of a Song
 The Land Before Time / int_1ab65185
comment
That Reminds Me of a Song: Part of the sequels' Lighter and Softer nature. Though most of the segues into songs are rather well done for children's movies, and at least they make the songs fit in with the story. Except for that bit in "Journey To Big Water" when Ducky comments that they should sing to pass the time. Cue an inferior rendition of "Big Water", a song from the fifth film.

Taunting the Unconscious: Subverted. Cera finds Sharptooth apparently either dead or unconscious after being knocked into a crevasse by Littlefoot's mother Mama Longneck. After a moment of fearful hiding, she decides to prove she's not afraid of him by sticking her tongue out right in front of him and headbutting him. Then he immediately wakes up, and the terrified Cera high-tails it out of there.

Papa Wolf and Mama Bear: The parents of the five main characters, but also Chomper's parents. They were willing to enter the Great Valley to search for their child (whom Littlefoot and his friends accidentally brought in when trying to rescue another egg that Ozzy and Strut stole), and when they saw Chomper in danger, they made absolute certain that whoever harmed them paid in full, even doing so to members of their own kind.

I Do Not Like Green Eggs and Ham: The episode where Chomper loses his tooth has a subplot where Tria takes Cera and some of the other kids to her secret mud pool. Cera is at first very unenthusiastic about sitting in mud all day, but when Tria urges her to give it a try, and she discovers that the mud is warm, she ends up liking it just as much as the others.

Adaptational Villainy
 The Land Before Time / int_20f689e9
comment
Carnivores usually come under two types; Sharptooth for larger predators and Fast-Runners for raptors and smaller carnivores, and given that the protagonists mostly consist of herbivores and children at that, they play antagonistic roles. To make them further stand out, they don't speak and are mostly shown as persistent and unkind foes who won't stop in trying to devour the kids if they can manage. Some films have managed to show Sharpteeth in a more sympathetic light, as shown by Chomper and his parents and the animated show goes to feature Ruby, a Fast-Runner (Oviraptor) who similarly gets along with plant eaters and becomes a member of the core gang. It's also emphasized that Sharptooth's growling and roaring in contrast to the herbivores speaking just fine is actually their own language and that predators too can learn to talk if they practice on that and that Sharptooth as a whole type is really just animals doing what they could to survive and see another day, with the only truly evil one being the Sharptooth from the first film and that's if the novel adaptation is taken into account.

Companion Food
 The Land Before Time / int_248427c5
comment
Companion Food: Littlefoot, a young herbivorous Long-Neck carries around a tree-star, large (to a young child) star-shape green leaf on his back for 2/3rds of the movie as a Security Blanket and Tragic Keepsake of his deceased mother who gave it to him shortly before dying to a T-Rex attack. This is especially notable because the whole movie takes place during a wide-spread drought/famine which sets the course of the plot of whole dinosaur herds migrating in search of the Green Valley, a rumored paradise of food and peace. The leaf remains in largely great condition for the whole movie, in spite of it being worn on top of Littlefoot's back like a cloak as he travels across the land (including through an active volcano!) and used as a blanket by the whole protagonist group at one point... up until the climatic final encounter with the T-Rex where it gets stomped under its foot and torn to shreds in the process of Littlefoot and his companions panicking upon waking up and finding out they're in danger.

Parental Abandonment: Par for the course, as it's a Don Bluth film. All of the children are separated from their parents, Littlefoot by his mother's death and the great earthshake cutting him off from his grandparents, and Cera, Ducky and Petrie likewise split off from their families by the same earthshake. Spike, meanwhile, is separated from his family before he even hatches.

Blatant Lies: Cera tells the group her own version of her encounter with Sharptooth in the underground, one where she attacked Sharptooth when he was awake and hunting for her. In actuality, she did the triceratops equivalent of poking a dead body. As soon as it turned out he was alive (and awake), she ran off terrified out of her mind like anyone would expect. Her lie is so blatant to Littlefoot that it makes him disbelieve her whole story, including the part where Sharptooth survived.

2D Visuals, 3D Effects: From Movie VI on, particularly in X: The Great Longneck Migration, as MarzGurl points out. Most likely because Wang Film Productions had a sister company that specialized in CG (Sony Imageworks did the CG for film VI however).

Sensitive Guy and Manly Man: Grandpa Longneck and Cera's father. The former is friendly, soft-spoken and nurturing, while the latter is tough, aggressive and short-tempered. They become foils in the third film where they clash over parenting methods and how to handle a crisis.

Aquatic Hadrosaurs: Ducky is supposed to be some kind of hadrosaur, and she's the swimmer one among the five main heroes. "Swimmer" appears to be the term dinosaurs use for a hadrosaur in the sequels, reinforcing this stereotype. That said, Ducky herself doesn't spend much time in the water.

comment
Artistic License – Paleontology: While it's still debatable how broad Pteranodon's diet might have been (e.g. just fish, or fish plus other sea critters), there's no question that leaves were not on its menu. Vegetation takes so long to digest, and has to be consumed in such quantities due to its low nutrient content, that an herbivorous Pteranodon would be too loaded down by its food to fly. Petrie's diet is never mentioned in the original film, and the idea of him being an herbivore is purely a sequel invention.

Fantastic Racism
 The Land Before Time / int_57b80b45
comment
The various types of herbivores in the first film have different personality traits to distinguish each other more drastically, which contributes to each kind of dinosaur having relations that are distant and cautious at best and outright discriminatory at worst. For example, Littlefoot is a Longneck (Apatosaurus) who is raised with good principles by his loving mother and tries to befriend anyone he meets. In stark contrast, Cera is a Threehorn (Triceratops) who is bought up to be haughty and bossy, traits influenced by her father who is quite stern, gruff, and generally not sociable with other dinosaurs. Later films show that most herbivores generally get along very well, provide for each other, and would put aside their differences to help one another against predators. These traits are best shown with the aforementioned Longnecks, Swimmers (hadrosaurs), Spiketails (stegosaurs), Clubtails (ankylosaurs), and even fliers (pterosaurs), though there are a few examples of unkind and even antagonistic herbivores.

Jerkass Has a Point: While Cera's whole story about her encounter with Sharptooth was riddled with lies, the part about him still being alive was true. When Littlefoot blows off her warnings of the Tyrannosaur's coming mere moments before he attacks, it ends up hurting his credibility with the rest of the team, which causes them to start leaning more towards Cera's leadership.

Awe-Inspiring Dinosaur Shot: The original film begins with a narration about Earth's history before introducing dinosaurs into its description. The dark, grungy atmosphere is contrasted by hopeful music with dinosaurs doing stuff like a Longneck overlooking a lake, a Swimmer looking after her nest, a Swimmer infant (Ducky in particular) surviving the jaws of an agitated tortoise, a flock of Fliers flocking, and a Threehorn family observing their children playing.

Villain Decay: The majority of the Sharpteeth in the sequels aren't close to the threat the original was.

Ambiguous Time Period
 The Land Before Time / int_7eb2bc15
comment
Ambiguous Time Period: Given the variety of species from different times that appear in this movie, exactly when it's supposed to take place is anyone's guess. The sequels make it even more ambiguous, if that's possible. If the first film is analyzed on its own, one could assume it takes place shortly after the K-Pg impact (since dinosaurs continued to exist for a few thousand years after the meteor struck) which would explain the near apocalyptic events the world is experiencing even before the earthquake. Considering Don Bluth never intended to make any sequels, this is the most likely scenario.

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: The episode "The Hidden Canyon" has the kids finding a canyon filled with delicious tree sweets that they scarf down. It's only after they eat a lot of tree sweets that they discover that the smell of them is rancid to Sharpteeth, and their eating the sweets is lessening the potency of the smell, thus making it easier for the Sharpteeth to enter the Great Valley...

Establishing Character Moment: In the scene where Cera is born, she is shown chasing her sisters while still mostly in her egg, followed by headbutting her father, showing her fierce and fearless nature. On the other hand, when Ducky first hatches she happily chases after a fly and peeks into a snapping turtle's mouth, showing the friendliness, curiosity, and innocence that leads her to befriend Littlefoot. When Spike hatches from his egg, the first thing he does is eat the tall grass that was surrounding his egg, establishing that he's got a big appetite.

What Happened to the Mouse?
 The Land Before Time / int_863fa679
comment
What Happened to the Mouse?: Cera's mother and siblings are never seen in the valley, nor is there any sign of them in the many sequels. Topps eventually gets a new love interest and the way this is handled suggests they're still alive, but that's the only clue we get as to what happened to them. Ducky also had a father present in her family in this film. However, he was removed for the sequels out of respect for the real life tragedy (Ducky's voice actor Judith Barsi was murdered by her father not long before the film came out (All Dogs Go to Heaven, in which she was the speaking voice of Anne-Marie, was also released after Barsi's murder)).

Doing In the Wizard: In one episode, the gang and Mr. Thicknose go off looking for a legendary dinosaur called "Hidden Runner", thought to be a super fast, carnivorous dinosaur that can instantly turn itself invisible. At the end of the episode, we learn that Hidden Runner is fast, but not super fast and his "invisibility" is actually his cryptically colored skin allowing him to camouflage himself. He kind of looks like a featherless Troodon.

Gigantic Adults, Tiny Babies: True of all the youngsters except Petrie, who is much closer to his parent's size than the others. Especially notacable with Littlefoot, who is the same size as Cera and Spike despite his species, Apatosaur, being significantly larger than either triceratops or stegosaurus as adults. However, this is actually Truth in Television as even the largest of the long-necked herbivores were no bigger than puppies upon hatching.

Outliving One's Offspring: Littlefoot's grandparents outlive their daughter, who famously suffers a fatal injury protecting her son from a Tyrannosaurus Rex. In the sequels we see them filling the void by lovingly raising their grandson. Heavily implied to be the case with Cera's father. Cera's clutch included three other hatchlings, and after the Great Earthshake, Cera makes a point of not needing the other children because she's going to find her sisters again. While Cera is reunited with her father at the end of the movie, Cera's mother and clutchmates are nowhere to be seen, and they never show up in the sequels.

Adults Are Useless: Hoo boy. One episode has Spike trapped in a hole, so Mister Thicknose and Topps come to help. They spend so long arguing that the kids get Spike out themselves, then the two begin arguing over whose method would have gotten Spike out faster if they hadn't been arguing. An episode where the gang eat a bunch of sweet fruits that were keeping the valley safe could have been avoided if the adults had shown the children where the trees were and said "These fruits smell bad to predators, they may look tasty but if we ate them predators could get in." Instead the adults look shocked that the children ate these amazingly important fruits... that they didn't know existed more than a few days ago.

Nice Job Fixing It, Villain: When Sharptooth has the herd cornered against a cliff, the cliff has a hole that goes through to the other side, but is too small for anyone to fit through. Cue Sharptooth violently headbutting the cliff while trying to bite down at the dinosaurs, and widening the hole into a conveniently sized doorway. Later on, it is the Sharptooth's breath shooting up from its nose that gives Petrie the added push he needed, so that he can learn to fly. He then becomes instrumental in distracting the Sharptooth so the others can push the boulder down on it.

Super-Persistent Predator
 The Land Before Time / int_ad982e04
comment
Super-Persistent Predator: Sharptooth is actually behaving exactly how a predator behaves in this dire situation. In the lack of significant food sources, a lone predator will often pursue individual targets for several days until he either finds easier food elsewhere, or is injured or killed. And a group of infants without a herd to protect them, in real life, would be an extremely easy meal. Luckily, our protagonists are smarter than their real life counterparts. Also, he stops chasing the young dinosaurs and runs for his life when the earthquake comes (although he still takes a chomp at them as they are clinging on a cliff right above him). The novelization further justifies it: even by Sharptooth standards, he's far more psychotic and openly sadistic than most and is pursuing them both for food and for bruising his ego.

Forgotten Fallen Friend: Littlefoot mourns for his mom a good deal of the first film, but only mentions her a grand total of three times during the following twelve sequels, one of which is just a passing reference about not leaving him any siblings. Presumably the writers were uncomfortable about bringing up such a dark topic in a kid's series. In the song "Always There" from The Land Before Time V, Littlefoot quotes from her. She also got a big mention in The Great Longneck Migration when Littlefoot met his father, and appears in a flashback. The opening prologue of Journey of the Brave recounts that "the perils of this world claimed Littlefoot's mother", and how Littlefoot's family was torn apart.

Chuck Cunningham Syndrome
 The Land Before Time / int_c33ba0a8
comment
Chuck Cunningham Syndrome: Ducky's father appeared at the end of the original movie, and is seen in a few early sequels, but is never seen nor mentioned from the sixth movie onward.note This likely had to do with the infamous and tragic murder of Ducky's original voice actress Judith Barsi and her mother at the hands of her own father. Cera's mother and siblings disappear in the sequels without mention. Which is especially odd because she's stated to be an aunt in Secret of Saurus Rock...

comment
Villainous Badland, Heroic Arcadia: This is largely played straight in the first few movies, where the peaceful herbivores live in the lush and idyllic Great Valley, seemingly the only hospitable land left in the world, while the outside lands where the villainous carnivores live are wastelands of rock, deserts and tar pits. This falls by the wayside by later movies, however, as the outside lands come to be green, lush and with their own populations of peaceful dinosaurs, with the only inhospitable part remaining being the continuing presence of predators.

Continuity Drift: Only a handful of the sequels remember that the dinosaurs migrated to the Great Valley. Most of them act as if the dinosaurs have been living there for generations, with Mr. Thicknose being the most biggest example since he claims he's never been outside the Great Valley. Likewise, the fact that they call the world beyond the great valley "the Mysterious Beyond" makes no sense, since it was where everyone lived before they found the Great Valley. Nor does the idea that the wall surrounding the Valley keeps predators out, since it didn't keep herbivores from getting in. In the original film, "Sharptooth" was the name of the film's Big Bad. In the sequels, it becomes a general term for carnivorous dinosaurs.

Shadow Discretion Shot: The fight between Littlefoot's Mother and Sharptooth has an instance where, after putting him down briefly, she tries to get Littlefoot and Cera to safety. Sharptooth then viciously flings himself through the air at her, and the film cuts to the horrified reactions of the youngsters. In spite of this, the shadows of the struggle can still be seen, showing Sharptooth biting and tearing a huge lump of flesh out of her back (the wound that leads to her death).

If the first film is analyzed on its own, one could assume it takes place shortly after the K-Pg impact (since dinosaurs continued to exist for a few thousand years after the meteor struck) which would explain the near apocalyptic events the world is experiencing even before the earthquake. Considering Don Bluth never intended to make any sequels, this is the most likely scenario.

Earn Your Happy Ending: Though a favorite trope of Bluth's, this movie takes it to a very high level for an animated film. First and foremost, Littlefoot loses his mother and is devastated over her death, which should make him alone a big enough victim of this trope. Both Ducky and Cera, and presumably Petrie as well, are separated from their families in an earthquake, and Spike appears to have been orphaned before he was even born. Later the group faces massive bouts of starvation during their journey, and have to avoid the ever looming threat of the Sharptooth, as Littlefoot tries to keep everyone together while trying to find the Great Valley. Fortunately, they do find it, and all of them get their families back, with Spike even ending up Happily Adopted by Ducky's family.

Stock Dinosaur Archetypes
 The Land Before Time / int_fa9d9b8c
comment
Stock Dinosaur Archetypes: One of the main elements of this franchise's setting is that each sort of dinosaur is given a simple-sounding title, like "Longnecks" and "Sharpteeth" to make them more identifiable from each other. Even so, there are still a lot of other ways they stick out from each other... The various types of herbivores in the first film have different personality traits to distinguish each other more drastically, which contributes to each kind of dinosaur having relations that are distant and cautious at best and outright discriminatory at worst. For example, Littlefoot is a Longneck (Apatosaurus) who is raised with good principles by his loving mother and tries to befriend anyone he meets. In stark contrast, Cera is a Threehorn (Triceratops) who is bought up to be haughty and bossy, traits influenced by her father who is quite stern, gruff, and generally not sociable with other dinosaurs. Later films show that most herbivores generally get along very well, provide for each other, and would put aside their differences to help one another against predators. These traits are best shown with the aforementioned Longnecks, Swimmers (hadrosaurs), Spiketails (stegosaurs), Clubtails (ankylosaurs), and even fliers (pterosaurs), though there are a few examples of unkind and even antagonistic herbivores. Carnivores usually come under two types; Sharptooth for larger predators and Fast-Runners for raptors and smaller carnivores, and given that the protagonists mostly consist of herbivores and children at that, they play antagonistic roles. To make them further stand out, they don't speak and are mostly shown as persistent and unkind foes who won't stop in trying to devour the kids if they can manage. Some films have managed to show Sharpteeth in a more sympathetic light, as shown by Chomper and his parents and the animated show goes to feature Ruby, a Fast-Runner (Oviraptor) who similarly gets along with plant eaters and becomes a member of the core gang. It's also emphasized that Sharptooth's growling and roaring in contrast to the herbivores speaking just fine is actually their own language and that predators too can learn to talk if they practice on that and that Sharptooth as a whole type is really just animals doing what they could to survive and see another day, with the only truly evil one being the Sharptooth from the first film and that's if the novel adaptation is taken into account.

comment
Shown Their Work: Sure they may not be living in the right place or the right time, nor do they look very realistic, but the variety (and obscurity) of some of the dinosaurs featured is quite astounding. It may be the most redeeming feature of the sequels. Feathered dinosaurs appear from time to time, though they're not quite feathered enough. Despite being an Oviraptor, Ruby doesn't have that dinosaur's Stock Animal Diet of eggs. She prefers to much on plants (and, in one episode, clams), making her an omnivore like her species was in real life. The Triceratops all have reasonably accurate skin covering, with crocodile-like scales on their bellies and thick armored scales on their backs.
