Granny Bront: "Cousins, who will take me to the Night Flower?"
Some random bronto, immediately, with no shame at all: "Not me."
It finally happened to me! Synchronized comment-scrolling and audio. Thanks for transcribing the video, stranger!
Heard that and was immediately like "Wow dude, at least pretend to give it some thought. Not like you can fit in the purgatory cave anyway." 😂
Meanwhile a girl to a boy "Wanna play with me??"
Had to pause cause it almost seemed added in afterwards lol. It reminded me of the Boondocks episodes where Thugnificent says his crew is willing to die for their chains except 1 dude in the background is like "Uhh no" without hesitation.
10:45 I love how it’s so quiet at that point too lol. Like no emotional music, just a little bit of crickets.

As a fatherless child, I REALLY projected a lot of paternal qualities onto that cowboy dinosaur. He means so much to me.
Imagine trying to explain to someone that your father figure was an animated dinosaur from a kids show.
Same here, had a lot of fictional father figures but Doc and Cassim (Aladdins dad) were my top. Which honestly says a lot as they're both absent father figures as well

i have revisited this video probably seven times and it's solely because of this line
"This video will contain spoilers for the Land Before Time franchise"
I literally paused for a moment to decide if I could live with the 14 LBT sequels being spoiled for me.
Just wait till we get to the 14 LGBT sequels.
I didn’t have to pause. I’ve watched them as they came out since I grew out of them lmao
Lol, i love how self aware you are about worrying about it.
Thumbs up!
Dew Drinker6 Watched them as a kid as well but I still think I only got to number 8 which was the newest at the time. Got the VHS, started watching it, paused because I was losing interest and then I think I just never came back to it lol.
After watching The Big Freeze some 10 years ago and absolutely being bored by it, I am glad someone else is spoiling the rest of the movies for me.
"I have no sense of time in these films" feels like an accurate thing to say for a series titled "The Land before Time."

Chomper’s bilingual status is kinda cute. Like a Latino kid who speaks English in school but Spanish to their parents.
It would be kinda cute if Chomper taught his friends how to speak T-Rex. When I was younger, my friends would teach me basic greetings and conversation in the language their parents spoke, and as a result I know basic Bengali, Spanish, French, and Japanese.
You have some weird views on bilingual people
@@CharlieQuebec-fb6ho wait, is it weird?
@@CharlieQuebec-fb6ho I don't think OP is saying it's cute for real people to be bilingual, but is instead saying that it's cute for a fictional dinosaur child to be like real people in a weirdly specific way.

Littlefoot is too conscious of what he's doing to his kindergarten teacher
It was the time before time.
I actually remember the context to this when I was a kid - early on in the movie Littlefoot is talking about Thicknose and Grandpa says that Thicknose has "a lot of dignity." he explains that dignity is "feeling you have something to offer", and it's very very sad when you are robbed of it. So when Littlefoot hears Thicknose say that he puts two and two together with what his Grandpa said. It's not exactly Pixar - hell it's not even really Dreamworks - but I remember it being one of the more well observed and affecting depictions of an aspect of childhood/growing up in the series, at least I thought so when I was nine lmao.
The ‘Ugliness’ of the Dinosaur designs is something I would defend about the original movie. The whole movie had an ‘Ugliness’ to it, a layer of texture and realism that is often completely ignored in kids movies. The movie’s imagery stuck in kids minds, or at least mine, because its ugliness was memorable and fascinating. I think that the idea that kids prefer ‘cute’ characters and designs has more to do with ease of visual processing and the perception of kids themselves as cute. Children are often drawn to ugly, frightening, or dirty things out of a natural curiosity. The ugliness of these Dinosaurs presents a realness that I think many kids crave.
I totally agree, Bluth seemed to be interested in merging cute with gritty. Though, I remember some movies leaning on just the cute side and being pretty lame.
Idk, I remember being a kid and really disliking the character design in the films precisely because it was wrinkly and gummy and bleh. Plenty of people have very fond memories of Disney films and their character designs which are far more visually appealing.
The dinosaurs were ugly? As a kid, I found the designs endearing.
or, at least distinct character design (rather than, "ugliness")
The original designs kind of remind me of those old story books with the gold spine decal. I remember thinking most of those characters were hideous and dated in style even as a kid. I didn't mind the Land Before Dinosaurs though for some reason
The scene where they're drowning and an aquatic dinosaur comes from out of nowhere to save them is a classic Deus Loch Machina
"I'm David Hasselhoff."
Deus ex Lochina was right there

You're killing me. In a good way...
It‘s extra funny if you read 13 1/2 lives of Captain Bluebear where there‘s an entire race of dinosaurs whose only job is to save people last minute.
There's something primally hysterical about the sentence "Daddy Tops is racist"
Is it racism or specism when you don't technically belong to same species?

Daddy Topps is Cancelled
@@lemmythetrash-goblin8291 Well the Dinos are clearly "humans" so ...
"Daddy tops, is racist" specifically sounds like a gay porn movie
The first film was translated as “In search of the Enchanted Valley” in Spain, and the fact that they kept it as the title for all the sequels, just adding in a subtitle, meant that our general understanding of the premise was that they spent 14 films looking for the damned valley and they still had not found it by the end.
@TheLostAge That’s good! For some reason in Spain they always took creative liberties and made up stuff like this 😅
Same in italy ahaha :D
TBF, they probably didn't know that it was going to spawn a franchise at the time so it worked for the first one and then they had to stuck with it :P

Ok, so the “EEEEEEGS” villain was definitely a meme in my household growing up. Like whenever my mom said she was cooking eggs she would use that voice. And completely randomly we would burst into his villain song. The Eggs villain is ICONIC.
I would regularly loom over my little sisters and go "YOU'VE GOT TO HAVE EGGS!! THRICE A DAY, AT LEAST!!"
Oviraptors are great.
Even if these lack the iconic oviraptor crest and beak, I'm gonna call them oviraptors, because they're raptoring ova.
Yessssss! 😂😂😂 I used to sing this all the time! Props to your mom for starting a hilarious family tradition and memory!
Me and my brothers grew up watching the Dutch dub of the second movie and it became a meme in our household too: EIERENNN!
My parents still bring that shit up today
Let me get this straight.
a) Chomper can’t talk when he’s super young
b) Chomper CAN talk when he gets a bit older (but he’s still youngish)
c) Chompers parents can’t talk
So is there only a small window for T-Rex’s to talk? Or is it that Chomper spent enough time with the gang that he can speak some of their Dino language? I’m intrigued and fascinated by this for no important reason.
Maybe the T-Rex have their own unique language, and Chomper decided to learn their language after they raised him.
Chomper is bilingual confirmed.
Chomper's parents can talk (I used to watch 5 the most as a kid, and I remember Chomper needed to translate for the other Dinos), T-rex's have their own language, but Chomper stuck around the main cast long enough to learn theirs.
What if they have the intellectual capacity for speech, but their mouths just physically can't make that shape? There's some low-key body horror in the idea that as Chomper grows up he gradually loses his ability to enunciate (while still being fully capable of forming sentences in his head).
These are movies for toddlers.
I very distinctly remember those egg stealing dinosaurs so much that I forgot they weren’t in the original film, like in my mind they are the main villains of the whole franchise that egg song really must have got to me
jenny’s constant ownership of plushes that are relevant to the topic at hand never ceases to amaze me

Can u imagine having to animate 12 full minutes of guido sleepwalking
Imagine beating the odds to make it in the highly competitive field of animation after the doubts and disdain of your parents and family, after hours of learning animation software and taking art classes and practicing and applying everywhere that has any job opening. This is it. This is the culmination of a life's dream, a dream you've held in your heart since you were a little kid watching cartoons on Saturday mornings. You are about to become more than a mere artist, you're going to become a true creator-
and then they tell you you're animating the Guido sleepwalking scene.
At least they can reuse the same walk cycle for 12 minutes.
yeah...a ton of CTRL V
@@crisptomato9495 That would be true in 3D animation, but this being 2D, they legitimately had to draw all of it. I weep for them quite frankly
@@BvousBrainSystems I could be wrong but flash animation could be used to emulate 2D, and many kids shows around that time were using that technology to animate what people classified as 2D. typically not as well done but you could still cut corners regardless, esp during a 12 minute clip like that lol
"I wouldn't let Daddy Topps in my Great Valley" is the most innuendo I've ever heard in one of Jenny's videos.
I just passed that point in the review and started laughing like a twelve year old.
omg how did I not catch that, that's hilarious
This, Jenny, is where we differ.
😂
I was never a huge Uncle Pterano fan per se but i was pretty disappointed when i found out that, after LBT7 ended with him being exiled for "five cold times", LBT12 (which came out five years later) was called Great Day of the Flyers but did not feature Pterano's dramatic return.
YEAH WHAT THE FUCK DUDE
honestly I never watched any of the other movies but this is a crime
Ain't that some Bull 💩
My favorite bit in LBT 5 was when Chomper's parents see him with the gang and tell him not to play with his food.
That joke is imprinted in my brain, I barely remember most LBT sequel plot points besides all the plots revolving around extinction events AND all the cartoonish references to ways dinos would die tragically often being preserved as fossils, like all the goop (very existential for cheery kid cartoons), but that joke is the one thing that reminds me I saw many of them
I recall a bit where they see Chopper singing while gathering plants for the others and one of them goes “Sometimes I worry about that boy.”

“dont eat em, just talk about eating em, tbh”
TOSSED SALAD AND SCRAMBLED EGGS (they're calling again)
2 is so underrated honestly it was really funny
Further proof of Chomper being the best character is in the cartoon.
The cartoon has a reoccurring villain in Red Claw and his two goons Thud and Screech.
In one episode, Chomper and Duckie get stranded on a ledge with Thud, and the entire time Thud tries to eat them but his tail is stuck in a pile of rubble so he can't reach.
Thud ends up mocking Chomper and telling him that no one is coming, but of course he's proven wrong and when the gang comes back to save Chomper and Duckie, Thud looks incredibly defeated as he resigns himself to being stuck since he knows of course no one is coming for him.
Then Chomper turns around and helps Thud lighten the load off his tail. He doesn't free him entirely, but he pushes enough rocks away so that Thud could wiggle his way out with some effort after everyone left.
The conflict ends with Thud repaying his debt to Chomper by leading Red Claw on a false trail when he knew Chomper and the gang were cornered.
Chomper saved the life of a dino who unapologetically tried to eat him and his friends on multiple occasions and insulted him and his friends multiple times and clearly had no remorse for his actions. Chomper is _the_ best boy.
Me: "I'm pretty sure I've never seen any of the LBT sequels either."
34:00 : "EGGS!"
Me: An instant, *scarring* flashback deep into childhood memories I did not know I had, the voice of this dinosaur saying "eggs" tattooed indelibly on the deepest recesses of my mind in flaming letters 40 feet high, the dinosaur saying "eggs" over and over as my grip on reality slowly loosens, etc.
no brother of mine is going to have vegies for dinner
Dude, same! Was not expecting to be hurled violently 20 years into the past with just that one word.
I feel this on a spiritual level.
Yes! I know I had once seen this sometime decades ago and had zero memory of anything that happened in it, and then the "eggs" thing was like having a movie-style flashback.
This was me for the ENTIRE video until chomper's "friends for dinner" launched me back oml. I'm reeling
They really missed an opportunity by not naming Cera's dad Tricerapops

I did not realize how many of these movies I saw until these clips awoke sleeper memories from deep in my subconscious
I was just having this exact thought as i scrolled past this comment
Same. I owned all of these except for the last 3 as a kid and must've watched them a bunch
YES
I REMEMBER WATCHING but i dont really remember them lol
I had the opposite experience 😔 I feel like I've seen 1 or 2 but based off Jenny's synopsis and the clips I cannot figure out which of the 14 I've seen lmao.
Right? It's actually concerning how many of these I saw but didn't remember
I think a big part of why LBT1 resonated with me as a kid, aside from the fact that I was raised in a Christian community, was the fact that my parents had to explain death to me at a very young age because I had a disabled sister who could drop dead at any moment. Bami and Lion King both had deaths in them, but it wasn't handled the same way as it was in LBT1. They really showed Littlefoot's grieving process; seeing her shadow and thinking it's her, being so depressed he won't eat even when he's starving, getting irrationally angry and blaming her for her own death, and clinging to the memory of her throughout the whole film. It didn't just cut away from the sad part and skip years ahead in time or have Littlefoot just immediately get over it and go to a desert and declare himself Littlefoot Skywalker, it really portrayed the pain of losing a loved one.
I sense salt in this very heartfelt comment
TBH I never got why Bambi's mum was such a big deal when her death was glossed over so fast. Land Before Time made you sit in those feelings and process the concepts of death & grief. (Then again, maybe that's WHY so many kids couldn't get over Ma Bambi.)
"aside from the fact that I was raised in a Christian community"
I feel like I have missed something crucial here.
yeah this was always one of my favorite parts of the first movie
It's not a Jenny comment section without remarks towards Rise of Skywalker...and I'm here for it
"Past the edge of dawn" is quite a poetic lyric for the seventh straight-to-tv sequel of a kid's franchise.

@@MrFuggleGuggle no one over 21
Yes! Mysterious Island was always my favorite. It was actually kind of a holy grail for me as well, since it was the only one we had recorded off of Cartoon Network's old Cartoon Theater. For some reason we never labeled the VHS, so I would always have to hunt for it and mostly found it by chance.
It was also very special to me because of how Chomper and his parents spoke. I might be misremembering, but I think subtitles appeared for their conversations. At that time, I was living in the US but my english was still very weak, and I was made fun of constantly for speaking two languages. My father told me that when we talk, we're just like Chomper and his parents: only we could understand one another, and that doesn't make it weird, it makes it special. He said that meant the sharptooths had their own lives nobody else could understand, and they were happy that way. But because Chomper spoke both languages, he could have friends and lives in two worlds. It really helped me with my self-confidence, and because of that it always has a place in my heart.
I'm sorry you were bullied because you are bilingual. If you're in the US, it does seem that a lot of white people have a deep insecurity about only speaking one language (unlike most of the world).
That's a really great observation! Each of the dinosaur families had a different arrangement (raised by single mom, grandparents, adopted etc) it just makes sense to add a bilingual family too. Thanks for your perspective!
That is so heartwarming- your dad must have been a sweetheart!
@@celisewillis Thank you! That is an interesting idea, I had never thought of the series in that way, but it's true! And yes, I'm still in the US, and my English has improved a lot. I now view being bilingual as a source of pride for myself (not that I feel superior to others, but that it is a special gift). I appreciate your words! I sincerely hope that things have gotten much better for kids in my circumstances in schools now than when I was young. I don't know if that's the case, but I don't wish that on any child. I actually work in the medical field now specifically helping immigrants from my home country, so I always try to encourage them to not look down on themselves. People like you make life so much easier for everyone!

as it became clear chomper was making a return, i gasped and exclaimed “chomper???” only for littlefoot to do the exact same thing, in the exact same tone, five seconds later
My sisters were at the right age to enjoy these movies, I only remember the first. But one night they rented Number 7. My mom fell asleep, and woke up right when the credits rolled. She asked "What happened? How did it end?" And my stunned 11 year old sister said "Aliens came. Then they left." And neither sister ever asked to see any more of these movies.
😂😂😂😂😂It took my tiny child mind forever to figure out they were aliens!!!😂😂😂😂😂
Wait what?! I own most of the Land Before Time movies of VHS somewhere in my house, but I don’t think I’ve seen the last two or three. I certainly don’t remember aliens lmao. I’ll have to revisit all of them now, if only to relive my childhood
I loved the Land Before Time movies growing up particularly because of the aspect that Littlefoot is raised by his grandparent's as I myself pretty much was. I loved seeing that represented, in fact I loved that the movie feature incredibly diverse parents and guardians all round. From Cera's single father eventually remarrying and becoming a blended family. Spikes adoption and being raised alongside Ducky and her siblings. And Peetrees single mother I just loved it.
Guido breaks my immersion. I can buy talking dinosaurs but them being Italian is a step too far.

@@allnaturalfigjam310 He's specifically based on Microraptor Gui hence the name.
@@motxmod chad thanks for putting truth to his name
he was Italian?
The first Land Before Time is probably the most significant movie to my childhood because it was about death in a more visceral way than any movie I'd seen before. Not just cause Littlefoot's mom died, but because the world around them was dying, and even as a kid (like probably 4 or 5) I knew the dinosaurs went extinct so I knew deep down that all of these characters were dead in some sense. There's even a scene where Littlefoot talks to an old dinosaur about his mom's death that I still think about from time to time. I know that it may seem like a thin movie as an adult, but I swear as a kid that movie had a huge impact on my understanding of death and how to process it.
not to mention that littlefoot's mother's death has literally stuck with me all my life. like i still sob when i watch it once in a blue moon. just something about how it was done - the score, the voice acting - really just is like a conduit about all my childhood fears about losing my mother. if it was to watch the movie again i'd probably be bored, but no matter what that scene will always have an impact on me
i respect that movie for how overtly hostile the world is. It seems like a movie for toddlers but it scared the crap out of me when i was a kid. literally everything is out to get them and the visuals are so visceral and terrifying
I feel the same way. I still have trouble watching THAT scene. And now that I'm almost forty and have lost a lot of family, including my mother, and dealt with hard times, it seems so much more poignant.
As a kid, we all decided that Littlefood et al. DID die, and the whole finding the Great Valley was some sort of hallucination/after-death vision or something. I mean, it just REALLY wasn't plausible that after everything the kids went through, they were just going to hop on home and everyone was going to be fine.

We have a local drag family that all names themselves after the Topps family because their names all have accidental double entendre. "Cera Topps" (Share a top), "Daddy Topps", (Daddy tops), and Tria Topps (Try a top). They had a new drag king join briefly, named "Juan Topps" (Want tops?) but he only performed for like 4 months before quitting. Its a deep cut. For sure. I think they've also performed a few of the LBT songs.
That sounds fucking disgusting.

@@FillBar I advocate for the genocide of anyone who reminds me of Cool Cat, thank you very much. Pretty sure if you check the legal definition it would count despite not being an ethnicity.

As the younger sibling, I too hated the “kids younger than the main character” trope. It set unrealistic sibling standards. Just when I thought I sounded like a babbling idiot and I was getting myself into tremendous danger, dill pickles would get lost in a nuclear waste disposal site or something and make me feel like I wasn’t good enough 😔
Omg this killed me. as an only child I was just amazed
u still have time. To get lost in that nuclear waste treatment plant. Never give up
You know, Valen Dreth would absolutely be the youngest sibling. He totally gives off snotty, bratty kid brother vibes even as an adult, lmao.

“troublesome younger-than-the-main-character” characters SUCK and they always just annoyed me and gave me anxiety as a kid (because they would often get the main character blamed for something or just... act like bratty toddlers.)
I shall stan Chomper and Spike til the day I die.
Yep, could not watch anything that had this trope. Too cringey

I definitely remember Daddy Topps the most. He was always mean for no reason but he represented so many kids' experience of having a friend whose parents you couldn't imagine having as your own parent. But like that's also their dad and you know they love them, but you're so glad you have a parent that isn't like that. IDK that really stuck with me.

It's just kind of cool to watch someone passionate about something you have literally no interest in otherwise
As a rule, I agree. But this one might be the exception that proves the rule. I'm really struggling and I'm not even 10% in.
@@TheGadgetPanda That's fair, and I guess I don't totally agree with my original statement either. I don't have literally 0 interest in the topics discussed, I just have such a minor interest that it's interesting to see a topic explored in depth and with extensive research that I couldn't be bothered to go that deeply into otherwise. I've seen maybe the original Land Before Time, but there's a version of me that might have been kept up with it and watched more in the series. I think that's why I enjoy the videos like this or about them parks or whatever; it's not something I have enough interest in to devote myself to learning about but is still slightly interesting enough that watching someone else's deep analysis can be entertaining. But if you have *literally* no knowledge of or interest in the topic at hand, then maybe you don't actually get anything out of it.

Was there any doubt about this?
Those are the only two I ever saw and therefore my only frame of reference for these movies.

Mmmmm num num num num
I still can't get over the name "Daddy Topps" or the fact that I think I've heard that name somewhere else where it should not EVER be.
The egg song is double as bad and funny in finnish dub, because the word egg in finnish is also a nickname for testicles. I remember me and my cousin laughing like Beavis and Butthead while watching that scene, constantly rewinding it over and over.
same in Spanish!

The original movie still has such an emotional significance for me that when Jenny played like a two second clip of Littlefoot’s mom talking I started crying
The land before time journey through the mists was literally one of my favorites as a child. As a child whenever I would feel sick or have an upset stomach the only thing I would eat was nightflower toast 😂. It was just toast with butter, cinnamon and sugar. But my mom called it nightflower toast so I would eat it and think I was going to be healed.
Now that’s a sweet memory!
@@ColdHawk I made the exact same toast as a kid, with a much less poetic name (awesome toast)
Were we raised in the same house hold??? You just made me feel things..... (except my mom plainly called it cinnamon toast) but eating it on weekend mornings watching that movie is such a strong memory
My mom would call spinach treestars for me. Yes I ate real leaves on occasion as well
AndreNitro X1000 omg now way. My mom and older sister would call broccoli tree stars for me! I also once ate grass hoping to experience the joy tree stars brought the characters in LBT

It can't be about racism when it's about different species or even just different races! 🤦♂ The point of racism to begin with is to consider others from the same species or race as yours as if they weren't, so it just starts straight up from a lie or sheer ignorance, first of all, and then to set up a hierarchy from that, by putting yours at the top of the list, and sometimes ended up in the worst possible case scenario: which is of course planning to exterminate the "lesser races" than yours because you consider them either useless or annoying or harmful for your own kind, usually all of it at once, so in short mass genocide, etc...
But yeah, anyway...I just randomly discovered her channel, and OMG, that was the first and very last video I'll ever watch again from her! What an insufferable, obnoxious, miserable, and just absolutely unbearable girl, like no kidding, seriously...😱😓🤯🤢🤮😤😡

If I had a toy company, I would legit hire you as a consultant. You have a deep understanding of how and why children play the way they do - information that so many adults just seem to forget along the way (or just don't care enough). As adults we too often put our own ideas of fun into toys and activities and forget the whole point of playing (imagination, social skills, physical coordination, empathy, understanding how things work).

Oh my goodness, that's my only memory of that one. xD
nooooooo it took years to get it out of my head

It's the one I owned when I was a kid
Fun fact, most dinosaurs would have never seen a flower. Flowering plants didn't evolve until after the Mesozoic.
I think most dinosaurs also didn't sing country-western musical numbers either.
@@FrenkTheJoyYou can't prove that
Flowering plants were actually quite plentiful by the late Cretaceous
Flowering plants evolved by the early cretaceous, possibly earlier than that. So for like a third of the mesozoic, maybe more, dinosaurs did see flowers.
Grass, on the other hand, is a bit more controversial.
Trust me, if you had younger siblings you would like the “younger kids who speak in baby talk and exist only to make the main cast’s lives stressful” characters even LESS.
I think such characters must be written by people who have never actually spoken to children.
It's also probably worth noting that my younger brother loved those characters so I'll have to tell him he ruined kids' media for other kids lol.
My lowest point as a human being is when five-year-old me sympathised with Tommy Pickles when he went to Straight Up Murder Dil in the Rugrats movie.
@@rizz9813 i still sympathise with him tbh
Preach
The OG film has a lot of grief and untraditional family themes which is why it spoke to me as a kid raised by grandparents
See also John Bellairs's spooky books for younger folk (if you haven't). He was raised by his grandparents, & his protagonists are mostly raised by not-their-parents (grandparents; uncle & uncle's neighbor) & have eccentric older role-models.
The original film was unfamiliar to me for years because my mom found the "dead mom" aspect too distressing, so we never watched it. Her mom died of cancer when she was a toddler. The Great Valley Adventure VHS was burned into my brain instead!
She was really weird about Finding Nemo when it came out, for the same reason. She, uh...she has issues.
She Did't Even Talk About Rooter And I Am Personally Offended By It.

"They call me MISTER Topps!"
no they call him Mr Three Horn!! And they call littlefoot's Grandpa, Grandpa longneck.

so, it's actually my fault ruby is bright pink. when i was four, my dad was developing the land before time tv show and showed me four potential designs for the new character: ruby. he asked me which one i liked best and, being a stereotypical preschool girl, chose the pepto-bismol pink design because it was pink and my favorite color was pink. originally ruby's dots were going to be purple (per the design preschool me chose because i also liked purple) but then i guess they realized they named a character ruby and she needed to also be red.
for real?!!!
@@draculena yep yep yep (lmao, sorry, it was right there)! it is also my fault that ducky's first instinct when in the cave of many voices in the first episode of the tv show is to shout "ah-ooh-gah." my dad called my mom when she was picking me up from preschool to ask me what i would yell in an echoing cave and i, being four, came up with an old car horn sound because i thought it was funny? i'm fuzzy on the why, but i definitely remember yelling "ah-ooh-gah" and it ended up being in the show, lol.

- Jenny Nicholson 2020
I remember when I came to England and could only say like really basic, bare sentences in the language. Me and my friends had watched Land before Time and they, cermeoniously under the monkey bars; dubbed me Chomper, because I didin't speak English. It made me honestly feel a lot more happy and open to making dumb mistakes when speaking and thats probably the only reason I went out of my way to teach my friends my OG language and to learn theirs. We all got codenames from that movie based on our characteristics. Land before time is a product of the time! (literally).
Honestly in general, plop kid me down and play all these movies and I would be entertained for HOURS. They opened up a whole new door to play pretend, some were lazy and uninspiring yeah but thats basically any child-oriented franchise that streched out their one mildly succesful movie on a little too long.
I honestly love and will always love LBT, all 14 movies of it.
OH MY GOD it's "Cera", like triCERAtops not "Sarah"? It took me only 30 years...
SOME of us learned to read on these books, heh.
Holy shit
Wow I just figured that out too. I feel so dumb.
HOLY SHIT
I mean, even if it was "Sarah", it was an obvious pun to me even before I knew what a pun was really.
"I have no sense of time in these movies"
Well, yeah, the whole point is that these take place BEFORE time. No time, no sense of sequential orderly plot, no way to determine reasonable lengths of time to spend on plot points, no hope that the movie will end soon, no worry about whether we've all done this same plot before.
Why are you mad?
So Great Valley is purgatory after all.
About the cowboy dinosaur: it's highly likely that they did use their tails as weapons and that they did make sonic lashing sounds when doing so, since the potential force was comparable to an actual whip cracking. It's entirely spot-on with our current understanding of them, for some reason.
Diplopodocus I think are the type of dinosaur that have whip like tails.
Actually, not sure using them as weapon. But the whip cracking sound would definetly be there, although the diplodocid Mamenchisaurus has a mace on the tail to top it off, because having a literal whip and being larger than several buses is not enough.
yeehaw
@@elliewellie_UA-cam Hawyee
@@Ditidos I think you’re talking about Shunosaurus, which did have a tail club. Mamenchisaurus did not, but it’s probable that its neck was a weapon.
Also, the Mo isn't a Dolphin nor a Dinosaur. It is marine reptile part of the family of Ithyosauridae. He's either an Ithyosaurud or an Ophtalmosaurus. But I believe he's canonically considered an Ophtalmosaurus. This, and the fact the Sharptooth in this movie is a Liopleurodon, really ties this entry with the documentary "Walking with Dinosaurs", namely the episode centered on the sea. Both Liopleurodon and Ophtalmosaurus appear in it.
