I’m back to this video again as I’ve fallen into hard times. This song reminds me of the hope and faith that used to fill my heart as a child. I would do anything for my inner child to be at peace again.
This was my favourite movie as a child. Was one my first memories of such. Every other weekend my parents used to rent it for me. Shortly after, my mother divorced my father and, as I recall, it was a really painful time for me. Littlefoot mother's passing used to hit my like a truck, since my mother was no longer among us. My brother and I stayed with my father after the divorce. After that, never have we rented it again. Boy, does this track bring me back to that period. It is truly a beautiful tune, and I'm trying to come to terms with it. I'm engaged nowadays, soon to build a family. This is a beautiful movie and, hopefully, I'm gonna show it to my kids, and they'll have the proper attachment to this movie.
I will never forget being about 3 years old, and seeing these credits for the first Time in my mothers room, right before she got me ready for bed. I’ll be 30 in one month. Life is really something 💙 Cherish it all.

@@michellehernandez6475 Will Ryan was one of greatest movie actor for doing the voice of 2-D animated character from old school 2-D animated movies either from Disney or different movie studios in United States of America.
Without a doubt the most iconic end credits in any of the LBT movies considering that this was in the first movie. Add to the fact that the song if we hold on together plays during the end credits makes this end credits even more iconic and unforgettable.
This song and credits always make me think about and feels more like a bittersweet ending because of Littlefoot still lost his mother and is probably orphan until the tenth TLBT movie.
I used to cry so hard thinking about my mom passing on. Now that I'm older I understand that death is apart of life. The people we love shape is and are apart of us even when they're gone. This movie had a innocent way of introducing the concept of death to children.
I'm 38 years old, and my dad is very sick, which makes me cry so much 😢 I know that it's part of life, it fones to us all. But, I just can not bear the reality of it 😭 Many others have the luxury of others around them to comfort. I'm all alone. Nobody to help me 😪
@@SamuelBlack84I am sorry you are going through a hard time with losing your dad, when his time comes, take the time to grieve and talk to people you love and trust.
I will always remember 4 year old me snuggling with my dad as we watched the land before time and him pulling me close for this song/credits, he died soon after. one of my last, very few memories I have of him is holding me close for this exact credits and song. Over 20 years later this song has always made me cry in the best way, it took a long time for it too heal but this song has always touched my soul.
I really like this movie ever since I was younger. Such a great memories of my childhood. Can't believe it's been 32 years of the making of this movie.
Loved it when I was 5, loved it when I was 13, still loving it now at 33. Such a great movie and such an incredible ending song able to invoke emotion.
Every time I listen to this song, I sometimes feel very emotional 😢 😭. My family and I did a Karaoke party for James Horner on his birthday 🎂. And while we were singing this song, I began to cry. This is such a beautiful song. Thank you James Horner 🙏.
This carries so much nostalgia for me. I adored this movie when i was little and all my life random bits of this song have just randomly began playing in my head. Now, coming back to it at 13, I'm on the verge of tears. It reminds me of when I was little. I hope it continues to randomly play in my head far into my adult life.
Judith never got to see the childhood masterpiece and her favorite role that captivated millions.. including myself..That thought alone breaks my heart🥺 shes forever in my childhood memories, yep yep yep!
If she were alive today she would have been in a lot of movies after the Don bluth Era and would have been in the prime of her life. Rest in peace Judith Barsi
It was the favourite film of my fiancee, and watching it always reminds me of her 😪 The lyrics of the song encourage us to have hope and tell our story, but it's hard to do so
When I was ill as a kid, my mother used to sing this to me when I was ill. It helped me sleep every single time. I'm now approaching 40, I'd give almost anything to have her sing to me again.
I think i was 7 when i first saw this...Im now 42 and Ive recently become a father. Played this to help my little girl fall asleep ...took me back to that innocent time as a child . And now seeing her...im so filled with emotions. I just want to be the best i can be for her.🥺
Coming across this childhood classic as an adult gives me a whole new perspective regarding Littlefoot's family. You realize how heart wrenching it would have been like for his mother to lose him if the Sharptooth killed him instead. She had already lost her other eggs when when Littlefoot was the only one to make it. His presence was such an impact to his family because he at least guaranteed another generation of his kind to repopulate. It's hard to imagine how his own grandparents would have reacted if that were to have happened.🥺
@@katelynthewhitewerewolf6376 One thing to consider in his mother's perspective is the unknown background of her husband. She and her parents possibly believed he wasn't alive since he was absent for so long before and after Littlefoot's birth. It also did not look as if she met other long necks during the migration to the Great Valley. Even if she was able to conceive a whole new litter of offspring, she probably would not have it in her heart to "replace" Littlefoot, especially since she remembered how her parents reacted to the day of his birth.🥺💔 Who knows how heartbroken they would have felt if she reunited with them without Littlefoot by her side.🥲
@@katelynthewhitewerewolf6376 And keep in mind how Rooter came around to give off meaningful advice shortly after the death scene. It's unimaginable how Little foot's mother would have reacted because losing a child has a completely different meaning compared to a child losing a parent. Littlefoot at least had his grandparents to look up to as his parental figures. His mother, however, would not have someone to look after since there weren't any other children. Although a much later sequel revealed Little foot's father had been alive the entire time, there's no way of telling how he would have reacted if he reunited with his wife only.🥺😞
@@katelynthewhitewerewolf6376Also, the sequel where Littlefoot and his friends travel to the land of mists to retrieve the medicinal herb for grandpa would have turned out completely different if his mother was in his role.😢 There's no way of telling how she would have reacted to witness her father being so ill. Especially when you remember the sweet song the grandmother sang.😔
One of the most beautiful songs that they Diana Ross have ever made and the lyrics have a beautiful and strong meaning to it as well such a tear-jerker fact’s even time it’s comes out in the ending Of the movie gives me chills and goosebumps a other fact’s👌👍👏🙌❤️❤️!!
From heartwarming sappy, to adventurous, to happy, and finally to soothing and satisfying like if saying 'goodnight everyone', all in a 6 minute span... a lot of different emotions felt in just the end credits, after experiencing a lot of that during the movie itself. 5:06 a slight hint at the 1990 Universal Pictures logo music Horner would compose two years later.
This song prevented me from killing myself when I was 12. I’m 25 now. “Live your story” is the biggest thing from this song that gets me. And “there is a fountain.”
I was obsessed with the song in high school. But I already loved the song a little while before then. I’m 31 and I remember coping with suicide thoughts. Most of the time, they were just intrusive thoughts. And they still are most days. The song made me appreciate Diana Ross!
This song, along with the song of the lion king sung by Elton John, reminds me of my beautiful childhood... Of a beautiful childhood in the nineties when my grandparents were still alive,My younger brother who died in 2019 was still alive. The magic and memories with them are still alive and these songs make me remember those golden times ❤️
I miss Bill Erwin so much 😢😢😭😭😭😭 he’s the best actor in the world, and he also did a good job playing Ed Irene’s husband from Home Alone (1990)!!! RIP Bill Erwin😢😢😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
It's insane how different this movie is from It's sequels. The sequels are bright, cheery, and musical. This movie is dark, gritty, and pulls no punches. Only during the end credits do we get to hear a song, and it's one of the most beautiful songs of all time. The sequels are good, but nothing, and I mean NOTHING, beats the original.
I don't consider any of the sequels canon. Don Bluth had no say in any of them and boy dose it show. One thing I love about the orginal is how it didn't talk down on kids. It It even put some themes and messages you understand better as you get older. It taught some valuable life lessons in a way that didn't feel condescending or dumb down. As a result when we were kids this felt like a real grand adventure with intense drama that we still enjoy as adults. The sequels dumb everything down. You can tell the people who got the rights took one look at it and thought: "oh its just a kids movie about talking dinosaurs so we don't need to take this seriously because kids are stupid". If any of sequels were the first movie Land Before Time would've been forgotten.
My mother and I danced to this at my wedding. I would be lying if I told you my knees weren't buckling and I wasn't crying profusely when this came on.
Growing up with the direct-to-video sequels and seeing the commercials of them, I kinda knew what they all were. But back in 2012, we were at a library and they had VHSs, and they had the original Land Before Time movie. Nothing else to watch, I decided to borrow the original since it has a TV on the case. After watching the movie, I had no idea what I was expecting. It wasn't a musical, it was mature, it was scary at times and it was so damn emotional. But I absolutely loved it. And it's actually one of the few films that makes me ugly cry just for how emotional it is with the message of grief, and being independent on your own, and the fact that the actress who voiced Ducky died shortly after this movie came out. On top of that, the movie has such a melancholy feel about it. It's colorful, but it's very dark colors. But it's still such a beautiful film that should never be forgotten.
I saw this movie when i was a little kid, and at the end credits I used to think Littlefoot's mom was singing; growing older I realised it was none other than Diana Ross.
Man, I love this song. I love Don Bluth's films! I met Don Bluth last week at Toon Con and he was telling me about how he was criticized for the dark tones in his films, but he wanted to share stories of loss and make people feel something. I could tell he was religious and he wanted to let people know through these stories that although, people die, it's just another stage our souls go through. This film felt like a beautiful sad dream for me and hearing this song always brings up this somber feeling within me. It reminds me the beauty of life. Well, that's how I feel.
I’ve have not watched the credits all the way through, since the first time i saw this in 94’ . I had forgotten about the leaf at the end at 5:47. That was a beautiful touch.
This song just takes me back to my childhood! Honestly, I cry every time I hear this song. I seriously feel like it transports me back to my living room floor as a 6 year old that hopes that I never lose my mother the way little foot did. What a beautiful film!
This song was played in my mother's funeral my sister Abby added the song to the song playlist.😢❤ October 16,1964/February 16,2024 59 years old Miss you mom... sigh..... . . . ..
This is one of my childhood movies. Whatched this with my little sister (2 years younger than me) when we were kids. Dispite our parents resentment at each other they still hade love for us. Ehatchwd this when we stayed home from school sick with my grandpa. He lost time against life last year in october. Now my beloved lil sister is having a child in august. Time goes by. I still can dream of the time before. The land before time
Girls: how could boys didn't cry when watching Titanic? Do men even have feelings? Boys: if we hold on together....😢 Edit: in memorial of Judith Barsi, the original voice actress of Ducky the Saurolophus
I was born in February of 1990, 2 years after this movie came out. But I love this movie when I was a kid and now being an adult. Not only I love dinosaurs and that, it’s a sad movie too
You wouldn't think George Lucas and Steven Spielberg were good at full length animated features. Don Bluth is incredible considering he didn't have Disney's financial backing but held his own.
I just noticed that this movie, along with All Dogs go to Heaven were two of the saddest movies in the 1980’s. because Judith Barsi was in both these two movies.
@@Logan_Elkins Loves Survive is from All Dogs Go To Heaven, honoring the death of The ending credits song "Love Survives" was dedicated in her memory as her character became absent in the further franchise.
Yeah and the studio decided to make it into a franchise by making musical sequels, not that they were very terrible movies, but This was meant to be a standalone movie, there was never meant to be follow-ups
I always got goosebumps when the leaf for the Bluth Studios logo touched the water and the flutes, piccolos, glockenspiel and triangle played that note and then the low strings played over the Amblin logo.
Saddest movie to watch as an adult the weirdest thing is when I was a kid I never cried due to not fully understand what was going on but as I aged it really made me cry. I used to watched this movie with my sisters and my parents before they divorced it really made me depressed every time I watch it because I miss my family together my parents didn’t get to make peace and contact each other just to check in on each other. I will forever cherish those happy memories even if it makes me sad 😢
This entire soundtrack is phenomenal, but I could listen to the music starting at 4:30 all day. James Horner was an absolute master of his craft who left us entirely too soon, and you can tell he gave it his all with this score. He may be gone, but he lives on through his amazing music such as this. R.I.P.
Somewhere in 1989-90, my dad brought home a VHS casette given to him by an office colleague and friend of his for all of us to watch. It was "The Land Before Time". At that time I was just 4 or 5 years old too small so I didn't think much of the movie. But when I watched it a few years later as a 12 year old kid, it was so overwhelming I just couldnt stop crying. Even the mere thought of some scenes would bring me tears - some sad and some happy and for days after, I just slept beside my mom at night holding her tight like a little baby like I never wanted to ever let go! Decades later as a 36 year old in 2021 when my mom was hospitalised in the ICU (for a critical condition which she has since recovered from), I just held her hand tightly while she was asleep and momentarily thought of the scene where littlefoot's mom passes away and I just wept uncontrollably! This movie, if anything, has brought me closer to my aged parents, even now as someone nearly on the brink of 40! That said, its a wonderful movie, a must watch for kids and adults alike especially in today's hate-filled world. Watch it. Spread love! Spend time with your loved ones dear people, cherish every moment and every living minute with them and make memories when you can! Don't know what you've got, till its gone!
For some reason at the time when I watched it when I was very young, I always thought it was a little foot's mother that was singing this song at the end
Ngl this has to be the best dinosaur movie ever! I love this bro I literally cried.💀 If i tried to do a try not to cry challenge to this movie I would fail so bad.💀
*If We Hold On Together - The Land Before Time (1988)* *LYRICS:* *Diana Ross:* Don't lose your way With each passing day You've come so far Don't throw it away Live believing Dreams are for weaving Wonders are waiting to start Live your story Faith, hope and glory Hold to the truth in your heart If we hold on together I know our dreams will never die Dreams see us through to forever Where clouds roll by For you and I Souls in the wind Must learn how to bend Seek out a star Hold on to the end Valley, mountain There is a fountain Washes our tears all away Words are swaying Someone is praying Please let us come home to stay If we hold on together I know our dreams will never die Dreams see us through to forever Where clouds roll by For you and I When we are out there in the dark We'll dream about the sun In the dark we'll feel the light Warm our hearts, everyone If we hold on together I know our dreams will never die Dreams see us through to forever As high as souls can fly The clouds roll by For you and I
this movie played a vital roll in my development, it helped me understand death earlier than most kids my age would, it helped me apreciate life and ignited me long life love for dinos
This song always makes me think of Judith Barsi and her story. RIP angel This song hits me hard now as an adult

If I had a time machine I’d go back in time to save Judith Barsi and her mother from your father.
Without a doubt the most iconic end credits in any of the LBT movies considering that this was in the first movie. Add to the fact that the song if we hold on together plays during the end credits makes this end credits even more iconic and unforgettable.
Personally, I think this is in second place. I feel the credits of The Land Before Time II - The Great Valley Adventure were the best.
This song and credits always make me think about and feels more like a bittersweet ending because of Littlefoot still lost his mother and is probably orphan until the tenth TLBT movie.

I Miss You 😘
Diana Ross absolutely! An amazing beautiful and well-known singer!❤
I used to cry so hard thinking about my mom passing on. Now that I'm older I understand that death is apart of life. The people we love shape is and are apart of us even when they're gone. This movie had a innocent way of introducing the concept of death to children.
This movie sure proved to me that death, pain, and losing loved ones is part of life.
I'm 38 years old, and my dad is very sick, which makes me cry so much 😢 I know that it's part of life, it fones to us all. But, I just can not bear the reality of it 😭
Many others have the luxury of others around them to comfort. I'm all alone. Nobody to help me 😪
@@SamuelBlack84I am sorry you are going through a hard time with losing your dad, when his time comes, take the time to grieve and talk to people you love and trust.

Diana Ross legendary and beautiful woman! Amazing singer!
WAIT A D#MN MINUTE!!!!!!!!!!!
I will always remember 4 year old me snuggling with my dad as we watched the land before time and him pulling me close for this song/credits, he died soon after. one of my last, very few memories I have of him is holding me close for this exact credits and song. Over 20 years later this song has always made me cry in the best way, it took a long time for it too heal but this song has always touched my soul.
Theme song for 2020. We can't give up hope in these dark times ☀
We’ve come so far
Edit:we survived
Your right
We will survive.🙏
Sure you can, just do not let reality consume you and only on the present.
I really like this movie ever since I was younger. Such a great memories of my childhood. Can't believe it's been 32 years of the making of this movie.
Time flies doesn't it?
@@briannagrace2888 Yes, it does. Time flies, I really miss the 2-D animated movies in modern days 😢.
@@iandanielcassidy8126 so do i :(
@@briannagrace2888 thank you for agreeing with me.
daang I was just 5 when this came out seen it , but them feels still hit like a freight train when watching this
Loved it when I was 5, loved it when I was 13, still loving it now at 33. Such a great movie and such an incredible ending song able to invoke emotion.
Every time I listen to this song, I sometimes feel very emotional 😢 😭. My family and I did a Karaoke party for James Horner on his birthday 🎂. And while we were singing this song, I began to cry. This is such a beautiful song. Thank you James Horner 🙏.
If you saw this movie as a kid you had an awesome childhood.
This carries so much nostalgia for me. I adored this movie when i was little and all my life random bits of this song have just randomly began playing in my head.
Now, coming back to it at 13, I'm on the verge of tears. It reminds me of when I was little. I hope it continues to randomly play in my head far into my adult life.
RIP James Horner. Always my favorite composer...here in 2021.
Me too and I totally like this movie since I was toddler and younger ages in 2000s era after I was born on September 23rd, 1997.
James Horner did died back in 2015.
@@iandanielcassidy8126 similar for me, the movie is from the 80's. I was born in 92 and was raised with this movie.
@@SupramanTRD glad to hear
I’m born in 1995 and I remember watching this in 1998 and I absolutely loved it and the song really got me sad and loved for dinosaurs
If this is not a contender for possibly the most beautiful song ever, I don't know what is. This song is so integral to my childhood.
Judith never got to see the childhood masterpiece and her favorite role that captivated millions.. including myself..That thought alone breaks my heart🥺 shes forever in my childhood memories, yep yep yep!
I bet my bottom dollar that she has, but as a spirit.
No thanks to her father he killed her and his wife before taking his own life.
I know @@gastonforde2121, Both her and her mothers lives were stolen by her fathers before he took his own
If she were alive today she would have been in a lot of movies after the Don bluth Era and would have been in the prime of her life. Rest in peace Judith Barsi
😢😢😢
Does anyone else feel unbearable sadness when hearing this just genuinely 😢
It was the favourite film of my fiancee, and watching it always reminds me of her 😪
The lyrics of the song encourage us to have hope and tell our story, but it's hard to do so
When I was ill as a kid, my mother used to sing this to me when I was ill. It helped me sleep every single time. I'm now approaching 40, I'd give almost anything to have her sing to me again.
I think i was 7 when i first saw this...Im now 42 and Ive recently become a father. Played this to help my little girl fall asleep ...took me back to that innocent time as a child .
And now seeing her...im so filled with emotions.
I just want to be the best i can be for her.🥺
And you will be best you can speaking life into life.
Thank You Jesus for bringing me to this beautiful song.
So thankful for my mom giving me this as kid ❤ also as a 30+ still love it 😀
I can relate as someone who discovered the movie as a Blockbuster rental. Except I’m lucky I still live with my mom and dad
So much feels every time I hear this. God I'm bawling :'(. :']
Agreed this song makes me cry too. ;(
Such a great film.
@@youtubenerd1989 me too, God I really miss being younger child back in early 2000s after I was born on September 23rd, 1997.
Legendary Classic !!!!!!
Coming across this childhood classic as an adult gives me a whole new perspective regarding Littlefoot's family. You realize how heart wrenching it would have been like for his mother to lose him if the Sharptooth killed him instead. She had already lost her other eggs when when Littlefoot was the only one to make it. His presence was such an impact to his family because he at least guaranteed another generation of his kind to repopulate. It's hard to imagine how his own grandparents would have reacted if that were to have happened.🥺
@@katelynthewhitewerewolf6376 One thing to consider in his mother's perspective is the unknown background of her husband. She and her parents possibly believed he wasn't alive since he was absent for so long before and after Littlefoot's birth. It also did not look as if she met other long necks during the migration to the Great Valley. Even if she was able to conceive a whole new litter of offspring, she probably would not have it in her heart to "replace" Littlefoot, especially since she remembered how her parents reacted to the day of his birth.🥺💔 Who knows how heartbroken they would have felt if she reunited with them without Littlefoot by her side.🥲
@@RegularInvader
Yeah and Littlefoot had siblings who didn't survive either because their eggs were smashed.
@@katelynthewhitewerewolf6376 And keep in mind how Rooter came around to give off meaningful advice shortly after the death scene. It's unimaginable how Little foot's mother would have reacted because losing a child has a completely different meaning compared to a child losing a parent. Littlefoot at least had his grandparents to look up to as his parental figures. His mother, however, would not have someone to look after since there weren't any other children. Although a much later sequel revealed Little foot's father had been alive the entire time, there's no way of telling how he would have reacted if he reunited with his wife only.🥺😞
@@RegularInvader
Yeah it's a good thing his mom died instead of him
@@katelynthewhitewerewolf6376Also, the sequel where Littlefoot and his friends travel to the land of mists to retrieve the medicinal herb for grandpa would have turned out completely different if his mother was in his role.😢 There's no way of telling how she would have reacted to witness her father being so ill. Especially when you remember the sweet song the grandmother sang.😔
One of the most beautiful songs that they Diana Ross have ever made and the lyrics have a beautiful and strong meaning to it as well such a tear-jerker fact’s even time it’s comes out in the ending Of the movie gives me chills and goosebumps a other fact’s👌👍👏🙌❤️❤️!!
From heartwarming sappy, to adventurous, to happy, and finally to soothing and satisfying like if saying 'goodnight everyone', all in a 6 minute span... a lot of different emotions felt in just the end credits, after experiencing a lot of that during the movie itself.
5:06 a slight hint at the 1990 Universal Pictures logo music Horner would compose two years later.
This song breaks my heart.
My favorite actor of this movie has passed away😢
RIP these wonderful actors.😢🙏
The girl who voiced Ducky such a sad case.
This song always brings me to tears

Me three while I went to bed. I truly like this song and it's very beautiful, sad and happy at same time.
This song prevented me from killing myself when I was 12. I’m 25 now. “Live your story” is the biggest thing from this song that gets me. And “there is a fountain.”
I was obsessed with the song in high school. But I already loved the song a little while before then. I’m 31 and I remember coping with suicide thoughts. Most of the time, they were just intrusive thoughts. And they still are most days. The song made me appreciate Diana Ross!
This song, along with the song of the lion king sung by Elton John, reminds me of my beautiful childhood... Of a beautiful childhood in the nineties when my grandparents were still alive,My younger brother who died in 2019 was still alive. The magic and memories with them are still alive and these songs make me remember those golden times ❤️
The complete ending to an outstanding movie and film score .
Don't throw your life away because others tear you down.
I miss Bill Erwin so much 😢😢😭😭😭😭 he’s the best actor in the world, and he also did a good job playing Ed Irene’s husband from Home Alone (1990)!!! RIP Bill Erwin😢😢😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
The heck are you talking about; he never even had any lines that made it into the final cut of the film!

It's insane how different this movie is from It's sequels. The sequels are bright, cheery, and musical. This movie is dark, gritty, and pulls no punches. Only during the end credits do we get to hear a song, and it's one of the most beautiful songs of all time. The sequels are good, but nothing, and I mean NOTHING, beats the original.
I don't consider any of the sequels canon. Don Bluth had no say in any of them and boy dose it show. One thing I love about the orginal is how it didn't talk down on kids. It It even put some themes and messages you understand better as you get older. It taught some valuable life lessons in a way that didn't feel condescending or dumb down. As a result when we were kids this felt like a real grand adventure with intense drama that we still enjoy as adults. The sequels dumb everything down. You can tell the people who got the rights took one look at it and thought: "oh its just a kids movie about talking dinosaurs so we don't need to take this seriously because kids are stupid". If any of sequels were the first movie Land Before Time would've been forgotten.
The last sequel I saw was The Stone Of Cold Fire. But now that I’m older, the sequels don’t exist to me.
My mother and I danced to this at my wedding.
I would be lying if I told you my knees weren't buckling and I wasn't crying profusely when this came on.
Diana Ross was a legend!
Last time I listened to this I was in tears and wished I was a kid again but 5 years later I would not change a thing 😊
Growing up with the direct-to-video sequels and seeing the commercials of them, I kinda knew what they all were. But back in 2012, we were at a library and they had VHSs, and they had the original Land Before Time movie. Nothing else to watch, I decided to borrow the original since it has a TV on the case. After watching the movie, I had no idea what I was expecting. It wasn't a musical, it was mature, it was scary at times and it was so damn emotional. But I absolutely loved it. And it's actually one of the few films that makes me ugly cry just for how emotional it is with the message of grief, and being independent on your own, and the fact that the actress who voiced Ducky died shortly after this movie came out. On top of that, the movie has such a melancholy feel about it. It's colorful, but it's very dark colors. But it's still such a beautiful film that should never be forgotten.
I saw this movie when i was a little kid, and at the end credits I used to think Littlefoot's mom was singing; growing older I realised it was none other than Diana Ross.
Beautiful song. Never give up. ❤ Virginia
I'll never give up for my childhood memories.
Man, I love this song. I love Don Bluth's films! I met Don Bluth last week at Toon Con and he was telling me about how he was criticized for the dark tones in his films, but he wanted to share stories of loss and make people feel something. I could tell he was religious and he wanted to let people know through these stories that although, people die, it's just another stage our souls go through. This film felt like a beautiful sad dream for me and hearing this song always brings up this somber feeling within me. It reminds me the beauty of life. Well, that's how I feel.
If you do not show the darkness, you'll never appreciate the light.
My favorites of his movies are Thumbelina and Pebble And The Penguin
I’ve have not watched the credits all the way through, since the first time i saw this in 94’ . I had forgotten about the leaf at the end at 5:47. That was a beautiful touch.

This song just takes me back to my childhood! Honestly, I cry every time I hear this song. I seriously feel like it transports me back to my living room floor as a 6 year old that hopes that I never lose my mother the way little foot did. What a beautiful film!
This song was played in my mother's funeral my sister Abby added the song to the song playlist.😢❤

Miss you mom... sigh..... . . . ..
Sorry for your loss of your mother
Makes this late 80's baby ball everytime.
This is one of my childhood movies. Whatched this with my little sister (2 years younger than me) when we were kids. Dispite our parents resentment at each other they still hade love for us. Ehatchwd this when we stayed home from school sick with my grandpa. He lost time against life last year in october. Now my beloved lil sister is having a child in august. Time goes by. I still can dream of the time before. The land before time
True masterpiece that has stood the test of time and always will forever just like the legend of dinosaurs forever.
Girls: how could boys didn't cry when watching Titanic? Do men even have feelings?
Boys: if we hold on together....😢
Edit: in memorial of Judith Barsi, the original voice actress of Ducky the Saurolophus
For some of us entering our 40s this movie never ever left us
and those in their 30's as well who watch this movie during their childhood
I guess they thought it would be too depressing to put "In Memory of Judith Barsi" at the end of the credits
That would be made the audience sad and possibly starting to cry for the death of Judith Barsi.
All Dogs Go to Heaven was dedicated to her
@S.V.M.SaulVazquezMauricioJr. Huh. Wonder why they didn't put it on there.
@S.V.M.SaulVazquezMauricioJr. Just found out earlier today. What a shame what happened to her and her mom.
@S.V.M.SaulVazquezMauricioJr. I saw it. I thought it was sweet.
Lost my auntie who was like my mother when I was 6. This movie hit so hard
I'm really sorry to hear that may your aunt rest in peace
I'm sorry to hear that I lost my mother 3 years ago and lost my grandma a year and a half ago I miss them so much
This made me think of littlefoot's mother
Me too.

I was born in February of 1990, 2 years after this movie came out. But I love this movie when I was a kid and now being an adult. Not only I love dinosaurs and that, it’s a sad movie too
You wouldn't think George Lucas and Steven Spielberg were good at full length animated features. Don Bluth is incredible considering he didn't have Disney's financial backing but held his own.
I just noticed that this movie, along with All Dogs go to Heaven were two of the saddest movies in the 1980’s.
because Judith Barsi was in both these two movies.
We made it through 2020 and the song is also dedicated to judith barsi rest in peace.
And so was the song that played at the end credits of all dogs go to heaven
@@Logan_Elkins Loves Survive is from All Dogs Go To Heaven, honoring the death of The ending credits song "Love Survives" was dedicated in her memory as her character became absent in the further franchise.
The song will grow on with you for the rest of your life, what a beautiful animation and song.
Today heard this I still shed a tear 🫡
Don Bluth worked so hard on The Land Before Time.
Yeah and the studio decided to make it into a franchise by making musical sequels, not that they were very terrible movies, but This was meant to be a standalone movie, there was never meant to be follow-ups
@@VVV953The sequels don’t exist to me! The last one I saw was The Stone Of Cold Fire. I don’t remember how I lost interest at all.
I always got goosebumps when the leaf for the Bluth Studios logo touched the water and the flutes, piccolos, glockenspiel and triangle played that note and then the low strings played over the Amblin logo.
Saddest movie to watch as an adult the weirdest thing is when I was a kid I never cried due to not fully understand what was going on but as I aged it really made me cry. I used to watched this movie with my sisters and my parents before they divorced it really made me depressed every time I watch it because I miss my family together my parents didn’t get to make peace and contact each other just to check in on each other. I will forever cherish those happy memories even if it makes me sad 😢
This entire soundtrack is phenomenal, but I could listen to the music starting at 4:30 all day.
James Horner was an absolute master of his craft who left us entirely too soon, and you can tell he gave it his all with this score. He may be gone, but he lives on through his amazing music such as this. R.I.P.
The composer!!!! What talent!!! The whole production of this film is pure magic!!
Somewhere in 1989-90, my dad brought home a VHS casette given to him by an office colleague and friend of his for all of us to watch. It was "The Land Before Time". At that time I was just 4 or 5 years old too small so I didn't think much of the movie. But when I watched it a few years later as a 12 year old kid, it was so overwhelming I just couldnt stop crying. Even the mere thought of some scenes would bring me tears - some sad and some happy and for days after, I just slept beside my mom at night holding her tight like a little baby like I never wanted to ever let go!
Decades later as a 36 year old in 2021 when my mom was hospitalised in the ICU (for a critical condition which she has since recovered from), I just held her hand tightly while she was asleep and momentarily thought of the scene where littlefoot's mom passes away and I just wept uncontrollably!
This movie, if anything, has brought me closer to my aged parents, even now as someone nearly on the brink of 40! That said, its a wonderful movie, a must watch for kids and adults alike especially in today's hate-filled world. Watch it. Spread love! Spend time with your loved ones dear people, cherish every moment and every living minute with them and make memories when you can! Don't know what you've got, till its gone!
I cried so hard to this at the end of the movie big part of my childhood.

That distinctive Horner ending. He was among my favourite film composers. This and Titanic were beautiful scores.
A timeless masterpiece. Easily one of the best family movies ever made.
Its funny but, if Don Bluth hadn't challenged Disney as hard as he did I honestly don't think we would have had the 90s Renissance.
Back in the days of actual hand drawn animation, healthy competition between different companies. Good times.
I would take this over Lion King any day. Unpopular opinion
For some reason at the time when I watched it when I was very young, I always thought it was a little foot's mother that was singing this song at the end
Nothing touches my heart like this movie. My youngest memories consist of getting this on vhs and watching it over and over. Might’ve been 3-4.
Ngl this has to be the best dinosaur movie ever! I love this bro I literally cried.💀 If i tried to do a try not to cry challenge to this movie I would fail so bad.💀
Interesting how at 1:32 we can see a struthiomimus sneaking into the valley. Wonder if this gave the makers of the second film some ideas.
Rest in peace Judith bia🪦
One of first movies I watched when I was 5 cried a lot this movie will also be apart of my childhood
A very happy ending in hart ❤😊
Always i watch i cry....always...many memories....
With the music and isolated pan of the great valley there was always a feeling of healthy sadness.

As high as souls can fly
