A New Adventure Is Born.
THE LAND BEFORE TIME
Once upon this same earth,
beneath this same sun,
long before you,
before the ape
and the elephant as well,
before the wolf,
the bison, the whale,
before the mammoth
and the mastodon…
in the time
of the dinosaurs.
Come on!
Dinosaurs
were of two kinds--
Some had flat teeth
and ate the leaves of trees.
Some had sharp teeth
for eating meat.
They preyed upon
the leaf-eaters.
Then leaves
began to die.
The mighty beasts, who
appeared to rule Earth,
were ruled, in truth,
by the leaf.
Desperate for food,
some dinosaur herds
struck out toward the west,
searching for
their great valley,
a land still lush
and green.
It was a journey
toward life.
It was a march
of many dangers.
Sharpteeth
stalked the herds,
waiting to seize
any who strayed.
The leaf-eaters stopped only
to hatch their young.
Ha.
Aah.
Ha, ha, ha!
Ha, ha, ha. Mama.
Hmm.
Mmm.
[ Giggling ]
Mmm.
Mmm.
[ Giggling ]
[ Giggling ]
[ Grrr ]
[ Grrr ]
Aah!
Ha, ha, ha.
[ Grrr ]
Some of the young
seemed born without fear.
[ Thunder ]
Aah!
Yet…
[ Arrr ]
Even hatching
could be dangerous.
One herd had only
a single baby,
their last hope
for the future.
Ha, ha, ha.
And they called him…
Littlefoot.
Here I am.
Aw.
Ha, ha, ha.
Don’t be frightened.
Come out.
[ Chattering ]
Mmm.
Ha, ha, ha.
All that remained
of his herd…
was his mother,
was his mother,
grandmother,
and his grandfather.
He knew them by sight,
by scent,
and by their love.
He knew they would
be together always.
Now, you be careful,
my Littlefoot.
Ahh.
Heh, heh, heh.
Aah.
Beautiful Littlefoot.
Mother, is this
all there is to eat?
I’m sorry, my dear.
The land
has been changing.
That is why we must walk
as far as we can each day…
until we reach
the great valley.
Littlefoot, quickly,
come here.
Look, up there.
A tree star.
It is very special.
[ Giggling ]
A tree star.
It is very special.
It’ll help you
grow strong.
Where we are going,
there are so many
of these leaves.
Come along.
Ha, ha, ha.
The valley is filled
with green food,
more than you could
ever eat…
and more cool water…
than you
could ever drink.
It’s a wonderful,
beautiful place,
where we’ll live happily…
with many more
of our own kind.
When will we arrive?
The bright circle must
pass over many times.
We must follow it…
to where
it touches the ground.
Have you ever seen
the great valley?
No.
Well, how do you know
it’s really there?
Some things you see
with your eyes,
others you see
with your heart.
I don’t understand,
Mother.
You will, my son.
You will.
[ Giggling ]
Littlefoot, don’t you
wander too far.
Hey!
Hey!
Ha, ha, ha!
What are you
laughing at?
Oh!
[ Honk ]
[ Grrr ]
[ Grrr ]
[ Grrr ]
[ Grrr ]
Littlefoot.
Come, Cera.
Three-horns never play
with long-necks.
Pffft!
Littlefoot.
[ Grrr ]
Three-horns never play
with long-necks.
A long-neck?
Hmm.
Mother,
what’s a long-neck?
Why, that’s
what we are, dear.
Oh. Well,
why can’t I play…
with that three-horn?
We were having fun.
We all keep
to our own kind--
The three-horns,
the spiketails,
the swimmers,
the fliers.
We never
do anything together.
Why?
Well, because
we’re different.
It’s always
been that way.
Well, why?
Oh, don’t worry so much.
When we reach
the great valley,
there will be
many long-necks…
for you to play with.
I wish
we were there now.
It’s a long way--
Past the rock that
looks like a long-neck,
the mountains that burn.
Still a long way,
but we’ll get there.
[ Ribbit ]
Oh!
[ Ribbit ]
Hey, hopper,
come back!
[ Ribbit ]
Hey.
You again?
Go away!
That’s my hopper.
I--I saw him first.
Well, he’s in my pond.
[ Ribbit ]
[ Ribbit ]
[ Ribbit ]
[ Ribbit ]
[ Ribbit ]
Ha, ha, ha!
Ha, ha, ha!
[ Ribbit ]
Over here.
Hey, this is fun.
Ha, ha, ha!
Ha, ha, ha!
[ Heavy Footsteps ]
Ha, ha, ha!
Ohh!
Ohh! Sharptooth!
Help!
Mother! Help!
[ Grrr ]
[ Grrr ]
[ Grrr ]
Go.
This way.
Mm-mmm.
Come back. You’re going
the wrong way!
Aah!
Whoa!
Whoa!
Ohh!
Mm-ohh!
[ Grrr ]
Aah!
[ Grrr ]
Aah!
Aah!
[ Grrr ]
[ Grrr ]
Mother?
Run!
Look out!
Aah!
Ohh!
Oh!
Help!
Help!
[ Grrr ]
Mother!
[ Grrr ]
Aah!
Aah!
[ Grrr ]
Daddy!
Daddy!
Aah!
In this time
of the clash of continents,
an earthquake
split the land.
Herds were divided,
families were cut in two.
Littlefoot was separated
from his grandparents.
Cera!
Mama! Daddy!
Cera was on one side
of the divide,
her parents were
on the other.
Mother!
Mother!
Uh!
Mother?
Where are you?
Oh.
Mother.
Mother?
Oh.
Please get up.
I’m…
not sure I can,
Littlefoot.
Yes, you can.
Get up.
Dear, sweet Littlefoot,
do you remember the way
to the great valley?
I guess so,
but why do
I have to know?
You’re going
to be with me.
I’ll be with you,
even if
you can’t see me.
What do you mean
if I can’t see you?
I can always see you.
Littlefoot,
let your heart
guide you.
It whispers.
So listen closely.
Mother?
Mother?
Mmm.
Mmmmm.
Hey!
What’s going on here?
[ Crying ]
What’s your problem?
You’re not hurt.
It’s not fair.
She should
have known better.
That was
Sharptooth.
It’s all her fault.
All whose fault?
Mother’s.
Oh…
I see.
I see.
Why did I wander
so far from home?
Oh, it’s not
your fault.
It’s not your
mother’s fault.
You pay attention
to old Rooter.
It is nobody’s fault.
The great circle
of life has begun,
but, you see,
not all of us arrive
together at the end.
What’ll I do?
I miss her so much.
You’ll always
miss her,
but she’ll
always be with you…
if you remember
what she taught you.
You’ll never
really be apart,
for you’re still
a part of each other.
My tummy hurts.
Well, that too
will go in time,
little fella…
only in time.
[ Peep ]
[ Peep ]
[ Peep, Peep, Peep ]
[ Peep, Peep, Peep ]
[ Peep, Peep ]
[ Peep ]
[ Peep, Peep, Peep ]
[ Peep, Peep, Peep ]
At first,
Littlefoot could only
think about his mother.
He hardly
noticed his hunger…
and forgot that he must
reach the great valley.
[ Peep, Peep ]
[ Peep ]
[ Peep ]
Littlefoot.
Littlefoot.
Dear Littlefoot,
do you remember the way
to the great valley?
Follow the bright circle…
past the great rock
that looks like a long-neck…
and past the mountains
that burn.
I’ll be in your heart,
Littlefoot.
Let your heart guide you.
[ Gasp ]
Mother.
Mother!
Hee, hee, hee!
Mother!
Heh heh! It’s you!
Wait, Mother!
Wait!
Then Littlefoot
knew for certain…
that he was alone…
and that though
the great valley…
was far away…
and the journey perilous,
he’d have to
find his way,
or the chain of life
would be broken.
Cera!
Cera, hello.
What do you want?
Nothing. Where
are you going?
I’m going to
find my own kind.
They’re on
the other side.
You can’t climb
up the other side.
Maybe you can’t.
Uhh!
Uhh!
I’m going
to the great valley.
We could…
help each other.
Ha! A three-horn…
uhh!
Does not need help
from a long-neck.
[ Gasp ]
Aah!
Aah!
W-Well, at least
we wouldn’t be alone.
Well, when I
find my sisters,
I won’t be alone,
so go away.
Three-horns can
be very dangerous.
They only talk with
other three-horns,
and they
only travel with
other three-horns.
Hello.
I said hello.
What is your name?
Maybe you
cannot talk yet.
Huh? Huh?
Don’t you
know anything?
Long-necks
don’t talk to, uh,
whatever you are.
Me? I’m a long-neck too.
See?
And I have a long
tail like you.
All right…
I’m not a long-neck.
I’m a bigmouth,
but I am all alone.
I am.
I lost my family in
the big earthshake.
Um…
you want
to go with me?
Yeah! Oh.
Oh, yes,
yes, yes!
I do, I do!
All right.
Come on…
but you have
to keep up.
I will keep up.
I will.
[ Hums ]
Where are we going?
To the great valley.
I won’t stop until
I find my grandparents.
Do you think…
my family went
to the great
valley too?
Maybe.
My mother said…
it’s where all
the herds were going.
Oh, I hope.
I hope.
My name’s Littlefoot.
Mine is Ducky.
Yep, that is
what it is.

[ Growl ]
Heh, heh.
My stomach
is talking.
Mine too.
Hmm. I wonder what
this tastes like.
Aah!
The tree
is talking.
No, it isn’t.
You should not eat
talking trees.
Nope, nope, nope.

Ooh! Mother present

I keep safes.
Don’t let
nobodies touch.
Yep, Petrie,
you keep it
safe. Yep.
Nope.
You’re a flier.
Start flying.
B-B-B-But--waah!
Waah! Aah! Aah!
Open your wings,
Petrie!
Open! Open!
No can do this!
You can fly!
Open your
skinny wings!
Petrie, higher!
Higher like

Petrie, higher!
Higher like

Danger!
Where, Petrie?
Th-Th-There! Ahead!
Whoa!
Whoa!
Whoa!
Aah!
Aah!
Aah!
Cera!
It’s you!
What happened?
Why are you
so frightened?
Frightened?
Me?
Ha, ha, ha!
Why are you
so frightened?
We’re not
frightened…
are we?
Nope, nope.
Well, you should be.
I could be with
the other three-horns,
but I came back
to warn you.
I met the sharptooth!
Sharptooth!
Ooh!
Come on, Cera.
Sharptooth is dead.
He fell down into
the big underground.
And that’s…
where he met me.
Oh!
Dear,
brave Cera.
Dear, brave Cera.
Yes, I am brave.
Sharptooth is dead!
My father told me…
that flatheads had
very small brains.
I was all alone
with him in the dark,
just the sharptooth
and me.
I could
hear him breathing.
[ Hrrahh ]
[ Hrraaahh ]
Aah!
I could see
his one big ugly eye…
looking for me.
[ Gasp ]
[ Hrrahh ]
What did you do?
Huh? Huh?
I walked
right up to him.
I looked him
straight in the eye…
and said…
[ Hrraah ]
Aah!
Whoa!
Whoa!
Uhh!
[ Snoring ]
Ducky!
Hello.
[ Snoring ]
Hello?
You should come out.
You should.
You are late.
Yes, you are.
Yep, yep, yep.
Come out!
You are all alone.
Are you not
scared? Huh?
[ Yawn ]
We’re going
to the great valley.
You could go
with us. Yes.
Uh, you are
a spiketail,
so we will
call you Spike.
Ducky!
So the five
hungry dinosaurs…
set off for the great valley.
There had never been
such a herd--
A long-neck,
a three-horn,
a bigmouth,
a flier, and a spiketail,
all knowing that if they
lost their way,
they would starve…
or find themselves
in Sharptooth’s shadow.
Hmm.
Tree stars grow…
where there’s
lots of water.
If we follow
this water…
[ Sniff, Sniff ]
Hmm. No
green foods here,
and I still hungry.
I’m still
hungry too.
Aah!
[ Sniff, Sniff ]
[ Sniff, Sniff ]
Can you
smell something?
[ Sniff, Sniff ]
I…I…
I smell…
I smell…
I smell…
Hmm. Ducky.
You smell me?
Heh, heh.
I smell water.
I smell…
tree stars!
Oh, look!
Green food!
The great valley!
I found it!
Cera, stop it!
I found it!
[ Rumbling ]
[ Rumbling ]
Earthshake!
We’ve got
to get out of here!
That way! Come on!
Help!
Spike, hurry up!
Ducky, Spike,
get out of there!
[ Gasp ]
[ Gasp ]
[ Gasp ]
They’re eating
our food!
Look, look what
they’re doing!
They’re
so greedy!
What about me?
I’m still
hungry!
Haah! You hungry?
I empty
to the top.
We at
the great valley…
and still no foods.
We be hungry forevers.
Ohh!
No, Petrie.
Cera was wrong.
This isn’t
the great valley.
Oh, it is not
a great anything.
Nope, nope, nope.
We better go down…
and see if
anything’s left.
Petrie, could you
fly up there and--
No!
Petrie,
do not feel sad.
We’ve got
green food!
Fly, Petrie!
Aah!
Fly, Petrie!
Flap your wings!
[ Awk ]
I flied?
Come on, Cera.
We’ve got green food.
I can get
my own green food.
See? I can
take care of myself…
all by myself.
And I’m not
afraid to be alone!
I know my way to go,
and I’m not
afraid of Sharptooth!
I hope he doesn’t
eat any of you.
Don’t worry.
There isn’t
any sharptooth.
[ Gasp ]
Sharptooth!
Spike.
Ahem.
[ Sigh ]
There isn’t
any sharptooth.
Mmm.
Mmm.
[ Thud ]
Ohh!
[ Grrr ]
[ Grrr ]
Wake up.
Wake up!
Wake up!
Hey, stop that.
Shh! It’s Sharptooth.
Cera, stop it.
Shh!
He’ll eat us.
He’ll eat us!
Run!
Come back!
Come back!
Don’t look back!
Keep going!
Aah!
Now will you
believe me?
We’re safe now.
Nobody’s safe with you.
Look.
That rock looks
like a long-neck,
like my mother said.
We’re going
the right way,
the way
to the great valley!
Littlefoot had been wrong
about Sharptooth,
but the others
followed.
Their only hope was
the great valley.
Littlefoot alone
knew the way.
Come on. Get up.
We’re going
the right way.
We got to keep
moving.
You can’t quit.
What if
the great valley…
is just over
these rocks?
Though they were
sore–stumped and tired,
Littlefoot urged them on.
He’d never seen
the great valley,
but his heart told him
they were close.
Surely at the top,
they’d behold it.
This is
your great valley?
You’re crazy.
I’m leaving.
Cera, we have to keep
following the bright circle.
I’m taking the easy way.
It’s the wrong way.
Who says?
My mother.
The she was
stupid too.
Take that back.
Never.
Take it back!
No!
Spike!
Spike, stop!
Don’t fall!
You!
Let go of my leg!
Spike.
Take that!
Huh!
Go on!
Go the wrong way.
We never wanted you
with us anyway.
Come on. We have
to keep going.
Come on.
Cera’s way is easier.
I think so too.
Oh, Flathead, wait!
Ooh! Aah! Ow!
Ooh! Aah! Ow!
No be angry.
Wait!
Cera, wait for us!
We’re coming
with you, Cera!
Cera, Spike, wait!
I wish
Littlefoot was
here with us now.
Me too.
Spike.
Spike, do not stop.
We must stay together.
We must stay together.
A-A-A-Aah!
Aah!
Aah!
Whoa! Cera, I--
Whoa! Oh, Cera,
Ducky, Spike!
Help!
Help, Cera!
Cera, where are you?
Littlefoot!
Ducky!
Littlefoot!
Hang on!
I’m coming!
Littlefoot!
Quick, this way!
Hang on, Petrie!
Help!
Help!
Help!
Help!
Help!
Ooh!
Ducky! Spike!
Oh, Petrie
I’m so happy.
Jump, Petrie!
Help, Ducky!
Petrie, pull!
Petrie.
Aah!
Help!
Help!
Aah!
Aah! Help me!
Help!
Woo!
Get away from me!
Aah!
Let go of me!
Help!
Help!
Petrie, Spike,
Ducky, help!
Cera, it is us.
Aah!
Aah!
Ha, ha, ha!
I knew it was you
all along. I did!
Oh, get out
of my way.
Cera?
Cera, come back!
Cera!
Cera was still too proud
to admit that…
she’d gone
the wrong way.
[ Crying ]
[ Grrr ]
Aah!
Aah!
Sharptooth!
It’s Sharptooth.
Let’s get rid
of him for good.
We’ll coax him
to deep water.
He can’t swim
with scrawny arms.
Me and Spike will push
that rock on his head.
He’ll fall into the water.
Petrie, whistle when he’s
where the water gets dark.
Now we need some bait.
Hmm.
Me?
Oh, no.
No, no, no, no.
[ Grrr ]
Hm-hm-hm-hm…
[ Grrr ]
Aah!
[ Grrr ]
Ducky!
Ducky!
[ Whistles ]
Push, Spike,
with all your might!
Ha, ha, ha!
Petrie!
I flying.
I flying!
I flying!
Help!
Petrie!
I’m coming!
Cera, you’re back!
Aah!
Aah!
He was
my friend.
Poor Petrie.
Poor, poor Petrie.
Petrie.
[ Gasping ]
Stop!
You go
without Petrie?
Petrie.
Oh!
Petrie, you’re safe!
Yep, yep, yep, yep,
yep, yep!
Littlefoot.
Littlefoot.
Mother!
Littlefoot.
Mother?
I tried to do
what you told me,
but it’s
just too hard.
I’ll never find
the great valley.
[ Wind Blows ]
Mother.
Mother!
Don’t go, Mother!
Don’t go!
The great valley.
Cera, Spike,
Ducky, Petrie, over here!
Littlefoot,
you found it!
Yep, yep, yep.
We did it.
We did it together!
The great valley…
was all they dreamed
it would be--
A land of green,
leaves, and life.
There were waterfalls,
grassy meadows,
enough tree stars
to feast on forever…
and raising upon them,
their families.
This is our
new brother Spike.
Mama, I a flier!
Yay!
Yay!
Yay!
Daddy!
Cera?
Daddy.
And Littlefoot…
found his grandmother
and grandfather at last--
The same loving faces
he’d looking into…
on the day of his birth.
Littlefoot! Come on.
I’ll race you.
And they all grew up
together in the valley…
Generation
upon generation,
each passing on
to the next…
the tale of their
ancestors’ journey…
to the valley…
long ago.
