Trail of Bread Crumbs: When the herd leave the Great Valley after its vegetation is devoured by the "swarming leaf-gobblers", Littlefoot and the gang leave in search for food themselves, leaving behind footprints so the herd will follow their tracks and not have to split up. |

comment |
Darker and Edgier: Possibly the darkest film in the series since the original. A swarm of creepy insects leaves the Great Valley a desolate waste and puts the dinosaurs at very real risk of starving; a dead Hadrosaur is seen probably dead from thirst; there are frightening encounters with both tsunamis and sharks; and the main Sharptooth villain is much more dangerous and no-nonsense than those in the previous three films. Oh, and did we mention it's the only entry in the series to date to show blood? |

Diabolus ex Machina: At the start, a massive horde of locusts suddenly appears in the Great Valley and devours all the plants, thus kicking off the plot since the Dinosaurs are now forced to abandon their home and seek refuge elsewhere. These locusts come without any foreshadowing, and once they have ravaged the valley they simply disappear, never to be seen or mentioned again. |

Signature Roar: Chomper's parents now use stock roars that sound very different from their first appearance (probably to make them less monster-like), while the Plated Sharptooth uses Frank Welker vocalizations (as well as a modified Howie Scream at one point.) It's even brought up in-story, since Chomper can recognize which roars are his parents and which aren't. |

Where Did We Go Wrong?: During the "Friends For Dinner" song, Chomper is collecting various leaves and other flora for his herbivore friends to eat. As he's doing this, his parents are watching (and apparently unclear on what he's doing) and one says to the other, "Sometimes I worry about that boy." |

comment |
Random Events Plot: While many previous films had a clear overarching objective (such as finding the Great Valley, getting the water to come back, or saving Grandpa Longneck), the initial conflict of the story here (finding food) gets solved within the first half hour and kind of goes from there as threats keep popping up. By the time all's said and done the heroes encounter deserts, tsunamis, sharks, Chomper, strange Sharpteeth, and finally an Elasmosaurus. Not that this is all necessarily a bad thing. |

Adults Are Useless: Zigzagged. The grown-ups quickly start bickering about which way to go for food, causing the kids to sneak away to force the herds to stay together. However the adults do manage to find a place to stay while the Great Valley recovers from the Swarming Leaf-Gobblers, and Grandpa Longneck gets Elsie to find and rescue the children. |

Suddenly Voiced: Both Chomper and (through subtitles) his parents. Justified with Chomper, as he's grown up somewhat since his debut film and would have learned to speak in the intervening time. |

Two-Act Structure: The story is split between pre- and post-Chomper halves. The first act is mostly a survival story, while the second act deals with Chomper's incompatibility with the rest of the group due to being a Sharptooth. |

Everything Trying to Kill You: More than any other film besides the first, the children are thrown from one problem to the next with hardly any break. Justified because, just like the first film, they spend the majority of the story outside the safety of the Great Valley. |
