The Land Before Time

Littlefoot's lips don't move when he says "Cera, you came back!" while pushing the boulder on the Sharptooth.

The scene in which the baby pterodactyls fight over the cherry uses two backgrounds, one for the vertical pan, another for the horizontal.

The two backgrounds do not match exactly; particularly, the sky changes color, and a knothole in the bottom of the screen disappears and then reappears.

When Ducky discovers Spike in his egg, Spike is portrayed as perhaps only two or three times the size of Ducky.

However, the next shot a few seconds later shows Spike coming out of the bushes at a size much larger than that.

(6 or 7 times the size of Ducky, a state in which he remains throughout the rest of the movie) When Littlefoot and the gang settle to sleep on Sharptooth's footprint, Cera joins them.

She is next to Littlefoot, who is next to Spike.

In the next shot, she is in-between Spike and Littlefoot.

When Littlefoot and the gang run away from Sharptooth after their sleep, Petrie is on top of Littlefoot's head.

After the rest of the gang run into the crevice, we see Littlefoot being chased, and Petrie is not on his head.

When Littlefoot does enter the crevice, Petrie is back on Littlefoot's head, but when Sharptooth breaks the crevice Petrie is not seen rolling down the hill with the gang.

After Sharptooth is seen with its muzzle stuck in the now bigger crevice, Petrie reappears, but in the next shot, both Petrie and Ducky are gone.

Littlefoot's, Cera's, and Spike's eye colors change from their normal colors throughout various scenes during the movie, then back again to their original colors at least once each.

Littlefoot's leaf is too small in the second half of the movie.

If it could sit on his head, he'd be almost as big as his mother.

The dinosaurs existed in three different periodsTriassic, Jurassic, and Cretaceous.

However, all the dinosaurs, as well as other prehistoric animals who appeared in this movie did not all exist in the same period.

Triceratops, Parasaurolophus, Pachycephalosaurus, Tyrannosaurus, and Pteranodon were Cretaceous animals, while Apatosaurus (called Brontosaurus here) and Stegosaurus were Jurassic dinosaurs.

Meanwhile, Dimetrodon, erroneously portrayed with a snake-like tongue, was actually a mammal-like reptile that lived way before the dinosaurs, more than 100 million years before this movie takes place.

Sharptooth's right eye is meant to be blinded by Littlefoot during their first encounter in the thorns.

But you can clearly see Sharptooth with his eye closed as he looks for Littlefoot and Cera before it is injured.

Pachycephalosaurus is depicted as a ferocious carnivore.

In reality, it was a herbivore, or an omnivore that ate insects and other small animals at best.

It is never explicitly stated that they would eat Cera, they were merely threatening her.

There is no such dinosaur as a brontosaurus.

What happened was the skeleton of an Apatosaurus got mixed with the skull of an Camarasaurus and was misidentified.

An amazingly crafted heatwarming tale. This storyline is full of morals and lessons from listening to your parents, teamwork, to the perils of pride and much more.

I saw this movie 2 hours ago for like the millionth time (I have had it on video ever since I can remember), and I finally decided to post a review here.The movie tells the story of a little baby dinosaur named Littlefoot who after an earthquake which separates him from his grandparents and a Tyrannosaurus Rex kills his mother, embarks on a journey with his 4 newfound friends (Cera, Petrie, Duckie and Spike) to find the legendary Great Valley, where they hope to find endless food and possibly their families.

We all love dinosaurs, do we? Being the most prehistoric creatures in the planet, we'll always be desperate to learn about them in earth science.

Lucas and Spielberg team up again to produce a fine movie. This time they collaborated on an animation.

Let's travel back in time together back to more simpler Times, back when I still walked the earth of the State of Georgia. when an entire millennium turned and changed right before our very eyes, when Earth's History changed forever, when we were discovering Brand New Dinosaurs we never saw before and did not even know existed, and learning brand new things about the Dinosaurs we thought we already knew all about, when I was in a Grade called Kindergarten, and back when I was just an aspiring Future Paleontologist.

Best childhood movie ever, action, passion, truth Anyone who rates this lower shame on you! Classic movie, watch it!!!

Ugly (but smooth) animation, annoying cast, forced symbolism and cereal box lessons about being best fwends fowevah.

It's better, but not by a lot. Universal was not as good at transferring when they did Land Before Time in HD.

This movie is certainly one of Don Bluth's finest animations to be sure. The animation in this movie is gorgeous like all of Don Bluth's movies and while the story is very simple, it's also very heartfelt and action- packed.
