Thinking he is dead, Cera harasses him, during which she mistakenly wakes him up, and flees. Cera, who is attempting to find her own kind, finds the unconscious Sharptooth inside the ravine. Soon after, they meet an aerophobic "Flyer" named Petrie (Will Ryan). Later, Littlefoot is accompanied by a young "Bigmouth/Swimmer" named Ducky (Judith Barsi), whose company bears him out of his depression. On his journey (now all by himself), Littlefoot meets Cera once again and tries to get her to join him, but she refuses. Littlefoot later hears his mother's voice guiding him to follow the "bright circle" past the "great rock that looks like a longneck" and then past the "mountains that burn" to the Great Valley. Depressed and confused, Littlefoot meets an old "Clubtail" named Rooter (Pat Hingle), who consoles him upon learning of his mother's death. Littlefoot finds his mother just as she's dying, and receives her advice in favor of his intuition. At the same time, an "earthshake" opens a deep ravine that swallows up the Sharptooth and divides Littlefoot and Cera from their herds. During their fight, she suffers severe injuries in her back and neck from Sharptooth's teeth and claws. He almost has them, before Littlefoot's mother comes to their rescue and faces off with Sharptooth. That night, as Littlefoot follows a "Hopper", he encounters Cera again, and they play together again briefly until a large dark green "Sharptooth" attacks. Years later, Littlefoot plays with Cera (Candace Hutson), a "Three-horn", who was trying to smash a beetle until her father (Burke Byrnes) intervenes whereupon Littlefoot's mother (Helen Shaver) names different kinds of dinosaurs: "Three-horns", "Spiketails", "Swimmers", and "Flyers" and states that each has historically remained apart. Among these, a diminished "Longneck" herd gives birth to a single baby, named Littlefoot (Gabriel Damon). In a time overlapping the Jurassic Period and Cretaceous Period, a drought is occurring and several herds of dinosaurs seek an oasis known as the "Great Valley". Its success, along with An American Tail and the 1988 live-action/animated Disney film Who Framed Roger Rabbit led Spielberg to found his animation studio, Amblimation. The film was a critical and financial success and spawned a multi-million dollar franchise with direct-to-video sequels (without association with Bluth, Spielberg, or Lucas), as well as merchandise (toys, video games, etc.) and a television series. The film explores issues of prejudice between the different species and the hardships they endure in their journey as they are guided by the spirit of Littlefoot's mother. On his journey, he meets four young companions: Cera, a Three-Horn (Triceratops), Ducky, a Swimmer (Saurolophus), Petrie, a Flyer (Pterodactyl), and Spike, a Spike-Tail (Stegosaurus). Littlefoot flees famine and upheaval to search for the Great Valley, an area which has been spared devastation. The plot concerns a young Longneck (Apatosaurus) named Littlefoot, (voiced by Gabriel Damon), who is orphaned (or so it is long believed, as his father is shown to still be alive in The Land Before Time X: The Great Longneck Migration) when his mother is killed by a Sharptooth (Tyrannosaurus). The Land Before Timeis a 1988 American animated film directed by Don Bluth (with production based around his Ireland-based studio), and executive produced by Steven Spielberg and George Lucas.
