The Land Before Time III: The Time of the Great Giving/Transcript

Narrator: A long time ago, at least 3,500 million years ago, the earliest form of life, made its first appearance on earth. These single-celled creatures developed and grew, and changed a million times over. Until at last, there was a creature able to leave the sea, and to crawl out into an unknown world. : From this small, fish-like creature, came hundreds of other animals. The mightiest of which was called, the dinosaurs! For most of the earth's dinosaurs, life was filled with danger. But for the fortunate leaf-eating dinosaurs of the Great Valley, life was peaceful, and food plentiful. The Great Valley was the perfect place for children, like Littlefoot, the Longneck, Cera, the Threehorn, Ducky, the Swimmer, Petrie, the Flyer, and Spike, the Spiketail, to grow and learn and play.
Littlefoot: I got it!
Petrie: Now me got it! [tries to kick a rock]
Ducky: Go, Spike!
[Spike and Ducky land on a rock]
Ducky: Did you get it, Spike? Did you, huh?
[Spike gets up]
Ducky: [repeated line, giggling] Yep, yep, yep! You got it!
Cera: I found another one! I found another one! [laughing]
[Littlefoot runs to get the rock, but then he stopped when he encoutnered three teenage dinosaurs.]
Littlefoot: Hi, Hyp. Can we have our rock back, please?
Hyp: Your rock? Who said it was your rock?
Nod: Yeah, who said it was your rock, huh? Who said? Who said?
Mutt: Oh! Ah, yeah!
Littlefoot: Well, gee, no one. We were just playing with it.
Cera: So give it back, Hyp.
Hyp: But I didn't hear you say please!
Cera: That's because I didn't!
[Hyp growls as Littlefoot went between them.]
Littlefoot: Hey, maybe we can all play together!
Petrie: Good idea, Littlefoot. We all play!
Ducky: [repeated line] Yep, yep, yep. The more the "betterer"!
[Spike nods]
Hyp: What do you think, guys? Want to play with these babies?
Cera: [offended] Babies? Who's he calling babies?
Ducky: Us?
Petrie: Hmph! Me no baby! [inhales] Me big!
Hyp: Yeah, a big baby! [he and his friends laugh.]
Petrie: Me no like them.
Cera: Me neither. I'll show 'em!
Littlefoot: Cera!
Cera: I'm busy.
[She charges only for them to dodge as she went over a bush.]
Mutt: Nyah! Nyah!
Hyp: Try and get us! Yeah, yeah, try!
[Cera walks by Hyp, Nod, and Mutt. Suddenly, an earthquake.]
Mutt: Whoa! What's that? It's a-a-a...
Cera: "Earthshake"! [screaming]
Petrie: Rocks fly?
Hyp: Flying rocks! [screaming]
[the fire comets continue falling down as they crashed somewhere over the moutnain adn an explosion. The kids avoided the falling rocks.]
Cera: Daddy!
Ducky: Mama!
Littlefoot: Grandma! Grandpa!
Mother Quetzalcoatlus: Fly, children! Fly!
Iguanodon: Run!
Grandma: Littlefoot!
Grandpa: Look out!
[They dodged a falling tree.]
Grandma: Littlefoot!
Littlefoot: I'm in here, Grandma.
Grandma: [to Littlefoot] Are you all right, little one?
Grandpa: Would you like to come out now?
Littlefoot: Gee, that wasn't a regular kinda "earthshake," was it?
Grandpa: No, Littlefoot, it wasn't.
Littlefoot: Then what kind was it?
Grandma: We don't know, Littlefoot. Perhaps it had to do with those great rocks falling from the sky.
Littlefoot" Oh, yeah! I saw 'em! And I saw that big one land somewhere in the Mysterious Beyond. I sure wish we could go find it.
Grandpa: Yes, that would be an adventure, now wouldn't it?
Grandma: Well, I think we've had enough adventure for one day. Come. It's time to settle down for the night. [walks away]
Littlefoot: It's beautiful, isn't it, Grandpa?
Grandpa: Oh, yes, Littlefoot, beautiful and mysterious, as is so much in our world. Well, at least the danger has passed.
[At the waterfalls, all of the dinosaurs are drinking as Littlefoot swims in the water. Suddenly, the waterfall had stopped.]
Ducky's Mom: What? Look, everyone! Where did the water go?
Ducky's Dad: It stopped flowing!
Male Dinosaur 1: How can that be?
Male Dinosaur 2: What will we do without water?
Littlefoot: Grandpa, why did the Thundering Falls stop?
Grandpa: I don't know, Littlefoot. I don't know.
Grandma: Littlefoot, go and play. Grandpa and I must talk with the other grown-ups.
Littlefoot: Sure, Grandma. [walks away] See ya later, Grandpa.
Male Dinosaur 3: This has never happened before!
[Later.]
Littlefoot: Hey, guys!
[Spike is helping Ducky to look in the trunk.]
Littlefoot: Guess what happened to the Thundering Falls.
Ducky: Shh! We are trying to find Cera. She has "hided" from us.
Littlefoot: But...
Petrie: Uh! Me no find Cera anywhere!
Littlefoot: Guess what, Petrie?
Petrie: What? You no find Cera either?
Ducky: Cera is a very good hider. She is!
Cera: [peeks out from leaves] Boo!
[Ducky falls down from the trunk as Petrie flies away.]
Cera: I scared you! I scared you! I did!
Petrie: You no scared me, Cera. Me "unscare-able."
Littlefoot: Petrie? You're hurting my nose.
Petrie: Oh, sorry. Me no know my own strength. [flies off of Littlefoot]
Cera: Now who's going to hide? Littlefoot?
Littlefoot: Okay, but first I wanna tell you something.
Cera: Well, hurry it up! We wanna play!
Littlefoot: I saw...
[Spike walks away]
Littlefoot: Hey!
Ducky: [giggling] Spike is taking your turn for you, Littlefoot.
[They laugh as S[ole heads over to a bush and starts hiding.]
Ducky: [laughing, pointing at Spike] My brother is not a very good hider. Oh, no!
Cera: Now just what were going to say, Littlefoot?
Littlefoot: It's the Thundering Falls. It's not giving us any water. You gotta come see.
[They follow.]
Hyp: Why don't you hatchlings go run and see.
Nod: Yeah, run and see. Run and see!
[Hyp grins at Mutt who forgot how to say something]
Mutt: Oh. Bah, yeah!
Cera: Try and make us!
Ducky: No, Cera, no!
Cera: Oh, don't worry. I won't hurt 'em much! [sticks tongue out, then Nod sticks tongue out]
Hyp: Put those away.
Littlefoot: How come all you ever wanna do is fight, Hyp?
Petrie: Yeah! Fight! [falling down on Littlefoot] Ow! Fighting hurt.
Mutt: Yeah, it does give ya "ow-ees," Hyp. Why do we do it?
Hyp: Why? Why? Because we're bigger. And bigger is smarter! Bigger is meaner! And bigger is better!
["When You're Big" begins]
Hyp: [singing] When you're big, you can push all the little ones around. They're lookin' up while you are looking down. You can snap a tree in two like it was just a twig. Things are better when you're big.
All: [singing] When you're big.
Hyp: [singing] You can do anything you want to do.
Mutt: [singing] Wah-oh.
Hyp: [singing] All the rules that grownups make, they don't apply to you.
Both: [singing] Not to you.
Hyp: [singing] You can splash in all the puddles, gulp, slurp, and swig.
Both: [singing] Oh, wah.
Hyp: [singing] The world is better when you're big.
Both: [singing] Glug, glug, glug.
Hyp: [singing] You can snort.
Both: [singing] You can snort.
Hyp: [singing] You can growl.
Both: [singing] You can growl.
Hyp: [singing] You can stomp.
Both: [singing] You can stomp.
Hyp: [singing] You can howl.
Both: [singing] You can howl.
Hyp: [singing] You can bonk someone smaller on the head.
Both: [singing] On the head. [scat]
Hyp: [singing] You can take what you want, play all day in the swamp. And you never ever have to go to bed.
All: [singing] When you're big.
Hyp: [singing] You can step on little people's toes.
Both: [singing] Oh, wah.
'Hyp: [singing] Munch on their lunch.
Nod: [singing] Lunch.
Hyp: [singing] And bop them in the nose.
Both: [singing] Oh, yeah.
Hyp: [singing] Threehorns, and longnecks, and duck feet, too.
Both: [singing] Duck feet, too.
Hyp: [singing] They all have to do anything you want them to.
Both: [singing] You want them to.
Hyp: [singing] And if they don't, you can plop them...
All: [singing] ...in the goo!
Hyp: [singing] Don't you forget.
[Mutt growls at Littlefoot]
Hyp: [singing] What you want, you get.
[Nod growls at Cera]
Hyp: [singing] Things are better when you're big.
Both: [singing] Sha la la la la la la la la la la la la.
Hyp: [singing] When you're big.
Both: [singing] Sha la la la la la la la la la la la la.
Hyp: [singing] When you're big.
Both: [singing] Sha la la la la la la la la la la la la.
Hyp: [singing] When you're big!
Littlefoot: But, Hyp, when you're all grown up, you won't be very big at all.
Cera: Yeah, your kind never gets very big. When we grow up, we'll be much bigger!
Ducky: Uh-huh, uh-huh, much, much, much, much bigger!
Hyp: Oh, yeah? Well, I'm gonna see to it that you never grow up.
Mutt: Ah, yeah!
Nod: Never grow up! Never!
Mutt: Ah, how are ya gonna do that, Hyp?
Hyp: Sheesh, you're dumb. Let me lay it out for you. First, we chase 'em. Second, we catch 'em. Third, we hurt 'em! See?
Mutt: Ah, no, Hyp. I don't see anybody.
Nod: Me neither.
Hyp: What? Ugh! Come on! We'll pound 'em later.
[They leave. Spike had been hiding all this time.]
Grandpa: As you can all see, our valley is quickly drying up.
Female Stegosaurus: Yes, we see it and feel it as well. There is less and less water to drink!
Iguanadon: And green food to eat!
Grandpa: I know. That is why our herds must work together, to save the little water we have left. From now on, we must drink only what we need to survive and no more. Hopefully soon, the Thundering Falls will bring us water again. If not, we may have to leave the Great Valley.
Ducky's Mom: Leave the Great Valley?
Iguanadon: Never! It's our home.
Grandpa: Then until the water returns, we must not use the water we have left unwisely.
Cera's Dad: Hmph! Threehorns never use water unwisely, but your herds do.
Kosh: Our herds? What makes you think our herds would do such a thing?
Cera's Dad: You drink greedily with no concern for others.
Female Stegosaurus: Can you believe he's saying that?
Kosh: Well, I've seen threehorns waste!
Cera's Dad: What?
Kosh: You take long baths even if you're the least bit dirty! (to an iguanadon) And I've seen your kind waste, too. Splashing water needlessly. For shame!
Iguanadon: Impossible! I never did such a thing!
[Everyone argues. Meanwhile, the kids are in the water, having fun.]
Cera: Hey, let's play bullies. I'll be Hyp. [imitates Hyp, jumping to get Littlefoot] I'm gonna get you!
Littlefoot: [imitates Mutt] Not if I get you first!
[She laughs as she Littlefoot chases her.]
Petrie: Me wanna play bullies too! [imitates Nod] Hey, hatchling! You no eat my green food!
[Spike squirts water at Petrie.]
Petrie: Hmph! Me go play bullies someplace else! Yeow! [falls in the water]
Ducky: Petrie, you are a flyer, not a swimmer. [laughing]
Petrie: Me no bully either. [sighing]
Hyp: But I am!
Littlefoot: Aww!
Cera: Not again.
Ducky: Oh, no, no, no, no, no!
Petrie: It them.
Hyp: Though you hatchlings could play in our swimming hole, huh?
Cera: They're beginning to get on my nerves.
Nod: Can we teach 'em a lesson, Hyp? Can we, huh?
Hyp: Be my guest, Nod! [pushes Nod,]
Littlefoot: Run!
[they all run away, as Nod landed in the water. Some of it landed on Cera's dad.]
Mutt: See ya!
Hyp: Wouldn't wanna be ya!
[Littlefoot shakes the water off]
Cera's Dad: This is not funny. Now someone splahed me and wasted precious water!
Littlefoot: Huh?
Ducky: [to Littlefoot] Littlefoot, are you all right?
Littlefoot: Uh-huh. But I think I'm in trouble.
Cera's Dad: Your Littlefoot is guilty of wasting water.
Grandpa: What happened, Littlefoot?
Littlefoot: It was an accident, Granpda. Honest.
Grandpa: I'm sure it was, Littlefoot. [to everyone.] Our children don't understand the water problem. The Great Valley has always given them everything they need.
Cera: What are the grown-ups talking about? What water problem? Isn't the Thundering Falls coming back?
Littlefoot: I don't know.
Cera: Well, it should. Why wouldn't it?
Ducky: Maybe it is tired and needs to rest.
Grandpa: We need to teach our children how to use the remaining water wisely.
Cera's Dad: Speak for yourself, long neck! My Cera would never waste. Your Littlefoot is a bad influence.
Grandpa: That's not true!
Ducky: What is influence?
Petrie: Me no know.
Cera's Dad: Come, Cera. You're not to play with the little longneck anymore.
Cera: But, Daddy!
Grandpa: My friend, I think you're acting rashly. Littlefoot is not to blame.
Cera's Dad: Hmph! I said come, Cera!
Cera: No!
Cera's Dad: Cera, I'm your father, and I know what's best for you.
[Littlefoot looks ad Cera. Sadly, the female three horn leaves with her dad.]
Petrie's Mom: Petrie! It's time to go home!
Petrie: Oh, bye-bye. Coming, mama! [leaves]
Ducky's Mom: Come, Ducky. Spike, you too.
Ducky: Do not worry, Littlefoot. You are not an influence, whatever that is.
Littlefoot: I don't understand, Grandpa. Why does Cera's dad think I'm bad?
Grandpa: Oh, he's just confused, Littlefoot. Sometimes fear makes grown-ups do strange things.
[Later that night.]
Cera: I don't understand, Daddy!
Cera's Dad: You need friends who know how to behave, especially in times like this.
Cera: Littlefoot is my friend! He'll always be my friend!
Cera's Dad: Cera, I'm your father. I want what's best for you.
Cera: No, you don't! You just don't want me to have any fun! [runs away]
Cera's Dad: Cera, please. I'm just trying to... Oh, as a parent, I... [groaning]
Grandma: Time to wake up, my little one.
Littlefoot: But, Grandma, it's early and I'm still sleepy.
Grandpa: You must get up, Littlefoot, if you want to drink the morning dew with us.
Littlefoot: The morning dew?
Grandpa: Yes. It collects on the leaves in the early morning. [pushes Littlefoot] If we hurry, we can drink the dew, before the bright circle gets too high in the sky and dries it all up.
Littlefoot: Oh. [yawning] All right. [walks down]
Grandpa: [takes a tree star to Littlefoot] Here, Littlefoot, drink this. I think you'll find it delicious.
Littlefoot: [slurps, then taking a bite of a tree star] Oops. It-It broke.
Grandma: It's not your fault, Littlefoot. The treestars are very dry now and crumble easily.
Littlefoot: [sighs] But when will everything be green and wet again, Grandma?
Grandma: I don't know. I hope soon.
Littlefoot: Well, what's going to happen if it's not soon?
Grandpa: Water will get harder and harder to find. Soon, everything will be as dry as that treestar.
Grandma: And it will be easier for fires to start.
Littlefoot: Fire?
Grandma: Yes, Littlefoot. Which is why you must remember the escape paths we've shown you.
Littlefoot: Don't worry, Grandma. I'll remember.
[At the river,]
Grandma: I think we're in luck. There are still quite a few green treestars left here.
Grandpa: Come on, then. Let's eat!
Littlefoot: Yeah, let's eat! [runs by the tree, sniffing at the leaves] These don't look too good, but I sure am hungry.
[Grandma and Grandpa take the tree stars to Littlefoot.]
Littlefoot: [spitting out] Uh! They taste terrible!
Grandpa: [looks at the tree] Here, Littlefoot, try these. They're still very green. [takes a branch to Littlefoot]
Littlefoot: Thanks, Grandpa.
Grandma: Go on, Littlefoot, eat up.
Littlefoot: But... But what about you? Don't you want some?
Grandma: Thank you, Littlefoot. But Grandpa and I will be fine.
Grandpa: Yes, you're still growing. You need the very best green food we can find.
Littlefoot: Well, okay. That was good, but I sure am thirsty. When is it our turn for water?
Grandma: Our turn for water is when the bright circle touches the smoking mountain.
Grandpa: But if you're thirsty, I think you can have a drink now. After all, we never agreed that the children should have the same water restrictions as the elders.
Littlefoot: Oh, boy! Water!
Cera's Dad: It's not your time to drink, long necks!
Grandpa: What do you mean, not our time?
Cera's Dad: We agreed that all herds must take turns drinking at the watering hole.
Grandpa: Yes, we all agreed, but I didn't think that it included the children. It really isn't fair to them.
Cera's Dad: There is no fair when it comes to survival!
["Standing Tough" begins,]
Cera's Dad: [singing] When life is tough, you gotta be tougher. If you wanna stay alive, when the trail gets rough, you gotta get rougher. To help your family survive, you can run around in circles. Wondering what to do, someone's gotta be the voice of reason. Is it you, or you, or you? When things around us are going bad, we all better be strong. We could lose everything we have, if this goes on too long. Don't stand around here talking! I say that's not enough. No tears, no sighs, don't close your eyes. We gotta stand tough. I used to hear my father say, "Stand and fight, don't run away." He made me what I am today. I'm here. And I'm tough. When times are hard, you better be harder. You don't know what's in store. You think you're smart? You gotta be smarter than you ever were before. You say I'm mean, you say why bother? Well, I have a daughter and I'm her father. I'm gonna make sure we all have water enough, that's why I'm tough. I'm standing tough! We've got to stand tough! You don't like it? Tough.
[Everyone seemed offended]
Cera: Littlefoot!
Littlefoot: Huh?
Cera: Over here! Hurry!
Grandpa: You judge us wrongly, threehorn.
Cera's Dad: I'm only doing what needs to be done.
Grandma: But this is going too far.
[Littelfoot begins to head to Cera.]
Cera: Oh! What are we gonna do about the grown-ups, Littlefoot? They're acting like babies!
Littlefoot: I know.
Cera: And it's all the Thundering Falls' fault too! If we had more water, this wouldn't be happening.
Littlefoot: That's it, Cera!
Cera: [confused] hat's it?
Littlefoot: Water! If we find some, the grown-ups will stop being mad.
Cera: Maybe. Except for my dad. He's always mad.
Littlefoot: Yeah, he is kind of grumpy. But I'm sure it's just because he's so worried about the water.
Cera: Yeah. Anyway, let's go get Petrie, Ducky and Spike and find some water!
Grandpa: How about a compromise?
Cera's Dad: No! We must be firm.
Grandma: Can't we agree on anything.
[Later in the forest at night]
Littlefoot: Are we all here?
Ducky: [repeated line] Yep, yep, yep. We are all here. Oh, no, we are not! Where's Spike?
Cera: Well, don't ask me. He's not my brother.
Ducky: Oh, Spike! Where are you, little brother? [hears Spike snoring]
Petrie: What that? It sound like monster!
Ducky: Do not worry, Petrie. That is not a monster. That is Spike.
Petrie: Spike?
Ducky: That is his sleeping sounds. Come on, I will show you.
Ducky: See! [laughing]
Littlefoot: [laughing] You're right, Ducky.
Ducky: [pushes Spike] Get up, silly. This is not nap time. This is get up time.
Petrie: [opens Spike's eye] You wake up now, okay, Spike? [falls down] Oh, Spike, up!
Petrie: Spike, down.
Ducky: Spike, no! [grabs Petrie out,]
Littlefoot: Are you okay, Petrie?
Petrie: Uh-huh. Spike sure heavy sleeper. [falls down]
Littlefoot: We gotta wake him up because it's gonna take all of us to find more water.
Petrie: Water? Yes! Me help find water.
[Spike licks Petrie]
Petrie: Spike, stop! Me no find water yet! [shakes the water off]
Littlefoot: Don't worry, Spike. We'll find it. I just know we will.
Cera: We better! BecUse if our parents stay mad any longer, I'm just gonna scream!
Ducky: [laughing] Oh, I will scream too!
Petrie: Petrie good screamer! [imitates screaming]
Littlefoot: [laughs] What about you, Spike?
[The five kids started to take off to find water.]
Petrie: How we find water, Littlefoot?
Littlefoot: We smell for it, silly.
Ducky: [laughing] Oh, yes! Smell for it! With our noses. [laughing] I know how to do that. [sniffing]
Petrie: No smell so hard, okay, Spike?
Cera: This is serious, Ducky.
Ducky: Oh, yes, Cera, I know! I know.
[They continue on as dawn approached. The trees and leaves are getting drier as a stegasaurs searched for water. He finds soem and drinks, only to be stopped by Cera's dad.] t
Cera's Dad: It's not your turn! Now, go on!
Ducky: My sniffer is very, very sniffed out.
Cera: Well, I'm so thirsty I could drink a lake.
Littlefoot: Me too. If we could find one.
Petrie: [sniffing] Funny, me smell water, but me no see water.
[A splash is heard.]
Littlefoot: Hey, did you hear a... a splash?
All: Uh-huh.
Littlefoot: Water! There it is! All right!
Ducky: Yeah! Yeah!
[They cheer and started to jump into the lake.]
Cera: That was so good!
Ducky: [takes a drink] Oh, yes, this is the yummiest water ever! It is!
Petrie: And we drink all we want, and no one yell at us! [falls and climbs out.]
Hyp: There they are. And would ya look at what they found for us.
[Nod laughs]
Mutt: [laughing] What is it?
Hyp: Hey, hatchlings. Say bye-bye, water.
Ducky: Why? Is it going somewhere?
Hyp: No, but you are!
Nod: This is our water now!
Mutt: So give it back.
Petrie: Give back? But it already in my tummy!
Ducky: But do you not want to share?
Hyp: We don't share with anybody, do we?
Mutt: Uh, no, uh-huh.
Nod: Nobody.
Hyp: So I'm warning you, small fries, if you tell anybody else about this water, you'll be very, very sorry!
Littlefoot: We're telling! And you better not try and stop us![
[They flee.]
Littlefoot: Hurry!
Hyp: Get 'em! We can't let 'em tell!
Cera: What am I running for? I'm not afraid of those... [Sike grabs her tail.] Hey, what's the big idea?
Petrie: No time to fight bullies, Cera! We go tell grown-ups about water.
Nod: Where'd they go, Hyp? Huh? Where'd they go?
Hyp: If I knew, I wouldn't be lookin' for 'em.
Nod: Yeah!
Mutt: Yeah, dummy!
[the wasp pops out of a flower]
All: Uh-oh!
[they all run away, screaming]
Littlefoot: Keep running!
Cera: Are they still after us?
Petrie: Me no know. Me too scared to look!
[They run over the giant branch until Spike slips.]
Ducky: Spike, you're going the wrong way!
[Spike lands on the ground,]
Ducky: Hurray! Now you are going the right way.
Cera: Why are going this way anyway, Littlefoot? We're tired and this way is hard!
Littlefoot: Because, this is the shortest way back to the grown-ups. And it will be harder for the bullies to follow us.
[They continye on into the forest and they fell right into the ground. Recovering the five dinosaurs and see the mysterious beyond.]
Ducky: It is the Mysterious Beyond!
Petrie: And it has water. Whole bunches!
Littlefoot: The flying rocks must've caused slides in the Mysterious Beyond too.
Cera: Yeah, and those dumb slides blocked up the water!
Littlefoot: Come on! The grown-ups will know what to do!
[They leave as a storm picks up.
Petrie: Bad weather for flying.
[Thunder flashed causing a tree to get caught on fire.]
Littlefoot: Look out!
[The fire blocked their path.]
Littlefoot: Back this way! I know another path.
[They run away as fire started to spread through the forest. Meanwhile.]
Cera's Dad: That's enough. You've had your share for today.
Grandpa: The threehorn is getting far too bossy.
Grandma: I agree.
Littlefoot: Grandpa! Grandma!
Cera: Daddy!
Littlefoot: Fire! There's fire in the valley!
Grandpa: Are you sure, Littlefoot?
Littlefoot: Yes, Grandpa! It's near two boulder pass!
Grandpa: Yes, we can see the fire signs from here.
Clubtail: Two boulder pass?
Kosh: That's close to here.
Clubtail: We must run!
Grandpa: Calm yourselves! We will lead you to safety.
Cera's Dad: No, I will. They'll be better off following me. This way!
Grandpa: But you're heading downwind where the fire will surely spread. We must go upwind of the fire.
Cera's Dad: Do as you will, long neck. But Cera and I go this way. Come, Cera.
Cera: But, Daddy!
Cera's Dad: The other can do what they want. But you are my daughter, and you will do as I say!
Cera: [sadly] I'm... I'm... I'm going with my father.
Ducky: I do not feel good about this. Oh, no, I do not.
Littlefoot: Grandma! Grandpa! Can't you stop them?
Grandpa: I have to go after them.
Grandma: Yes. Littlefoot, you come with me. We'll lead the others to safety.
Littlefoot: But what about everybody else in the valley, Grandma? What will happen to them?
Grandma: They'll use the escape routes closest to them. Now come! Everyone, follow me! Children first!
[They begin to follow Grandma. Meanwhile, Cera's dad and Cera are trying to escape the burning forest. Cera screams and falls over the ledge and got burried.]
Cera's Dad: Cera!
[He helps her as the fire continued on. The rest of the dinosaurs are having a heard time breathing.]]
Littlefoot: Grandma, what's wrong?
Grandma: The smoke is too thick. You'll have to lead.
Littlefoot: But I...
[He looked at the other dinosaurs.]
Littlefoot: Follow me, everyone!
[They follow him.]
Dinosaur 1: [coughing] Where is he?
Dinosaur 2: I can't see!
[Ducky walks to Littlefoot]
Ducky: Littlefoot, the grown-ups cannot see good. They cannot.
Littlefoot: But they can hear. Follow my voice! Stay close to the one in front of you! Keep your heads down! It's not much further!
[The three horns continune running as fire started to spread..]
Cera: Are you sure this is right, daddy?
Cera's Dad: Of course I'm sure!
Cera: [screaming] Daddy!
Cera's Dad: This way, Cera!
[Cera screams as the fire surroudned her.]
Cera's Dad: No!
Flaming trees started to corner them.]
Cera: We're trapped!
Grandpa: Threehorns! Over here!
[Grandpa pushes a tree down to get them to the other side.]
Cera's Dad: Hurry, Cera!
[they quickly escaped.]
Cera's Dad: Are you all right, Cera?
Cera: [panting] Yes, Daddy.
Cera's Dad: Come.
[At the mountain,e veryone can see that most of the forest fire had destoryed the great valley,]
Littlefoot: Grandpa!
Grandma: Oh, you made it! I was so worried.
Grandpa: I'm fine, dear, really.
Grandpa: How is everyone else?
Grandma: Our group got here safely, thanks to Littlefoot.
Ducky: Oh, yes! Thanks to Littlefoot!
Grandma: We are all very lucky.
Cera's Dad Lucky? How can you say we are lucky when our valley burns? We are without water, and now we are without a home. All is lost.
Grandma: All is not lost, my friend. You still have Cera. And you are still here, able to take care for her.
Cera's Dad: Well, you are right. Thank you, long neck.
Male Stegosaurus: But the threehorn speaks the truth!
Ducky's Mom: We're doomed!
Clubtail: We'll never be able to go back to the Great Valley!
Ducky: Never go back to the Great Valley? Oh, no!
Littlefoot: The water! We forgot to tell them about the water! Grandma! Grandpa! We found water!
Grandpa: Water?
Grandma: Where, Littlefoot?
Littlefoot: It's stuck.
Petrie: Behind the Thundering Falls.
Cera: The flying rocks did it.
Ducky: They did!
Grandma: Which means the water is trapped in the Mysterious Beyond.
Stegosaurus: [gasping] The Mysterious Beyond? We can't go there. It's dangerous!
Cera's Dad: Of course it's dangerous. But no place is safe now. We must go and free the water.
Grandpa: But such a huge gathering place of water will attract other creatures besides ourselves. In the Mysterious Beyond there will be Sharpteeth.
Dinosaur 3: Sharpteeth!
Dinosaur 4: [gasping] It's too dangerous!
Ducky: I do not like Sharpteeth. Oh, no! Their teeth are too sharp.
Grandma: Still, we must do something. We must come up with a plan to free the water.
Cera's Dad: I have a plan!
Kosh: I hope it's better than your fire escape plan.
Grandma: Please! This is no time to argue.
Cera's Dad: At least I had a plan.
[Kosh growls at Cera's Dad]
Grandma: Stop! You're acting like children!
Petrie: Huh! We no act like that!
[they all argue]
Ducky's Dad: I have a plan too!
Dinosaur 6: Mine's better!
Hyp: I'd sure like to get to that water first, before the rest of those dummies go slobbering in it!
Nod: [worried] But you heard the grown-ups, Hyp. What about Sharpteeth?
Hyp: What about 'em?
Nod: Well, you tell him, Mutt.
Mutt: Huh? Well, uh, well, uh, they're bad, uh, yeah! And scary too! [to Hyp] Come on! You're just as afraid of them as we are!
Hyp: [grabs Mutt] Me? I'm not afraid of anything!
Nod: But you are!
Hyp: Bet I'm not!
Nod: You were afraid of those big flying rocks!
Hyp: I was not! I just ran 'cause you guys did. I... I didn't want you to feel stupid.
Nod: Well, then prove it!
Hyp: All right, I will. I'm getting me some tasty water, and you babies can stay here.
[He leaves]
Nod: Well, I'm not a baby.
Mutt: Yeah, me neither.
Nod: Uh... Uh, Hyp! Wait!
Mutt: Uh, yeah! For us!
Cera's Dad: We must act now!
Grandpa: We must not act rashly.
Cera: They are so dumb! Didn't they hear what the grown-ups said about Sharpteeth?
Littlefoot: I guess not.
Cera: Well, if they get eaten, it'll just serve them right!
Ducky: Cera! That is not nice!
Cera: I don't care. They deserve it!
Littlefoot: I don't know, you guys. Maybe we should do something.
Cera: Like what?
Littlefoot: Like, tell their parents where they went?
Cera: All of our parents are too busy arguing.
Grandpa: Your plan is too dangerous!
Cera's Dad: Yours is no better!
Kosh: Then listen to mine.
Ducky's mom: Yours? Don't be silly!
Littlefoot: Then, maybe we should go stop them.
Cera: Stop them?
Petrie: Us?
Ducky: They hate us! They will not listen!
Littlefoot: I know they're bigger.
Cera: But definitely not smarter!
Littlefoot: Still, we have to try.
Petrie: But why?
["Kids Like Us" begins]
Littlefoot: [singing] They have feelings just like we do. They have problems too. We think because they're big, they don't, but they do. They're louder and they're stronger, and they make a bigger fuss. But way down deep inside I think. They're kids like us. They have parents just like ours who teel them what to do, they have feet and tails and horns, and scales and noses too. And when the earth is shaking, they run and hide because even if they think they're tough. They're still kids like us.
Cera: It's just too dangerous, Littlefoot!
Ducky: Yes, it is!
Cera: And they're too mean!
Petrie: Very, very mean!
Littlefoot: [singing] Maybe when you're bigger, you think you should pretend you're not afraid of scary things that you don't need a friend. But they're just kids in trouble. They need someone to trust if we can bring them home, show them they're not alone, that they're just kids.
All: [singing] Kids like us.
Littlefoot: I just have to try and stop them! You guys do what you want. [runs away]
Spike: Hyp.
Cera: Last one after Littlefoot's a scaredy-egg!
Petrie: Me no scaredy-egg!
Ducky: Wait for us! We're not scaredy-eggs, either!
[At the wasteland.]
Nod: Are you sure this is the right way to the water, Hyp?
Hyp: Sure, I'm sure. I'm, uh, just taking us this special way, so we don't run into any stupid Sharpteeth.
Mutt: [falls between boned ribcage.] Wait for me!
Mutt: Come on, guys! Wait! phe nearly falls.]
Hyp: Stop whining, Mutt! This is easy! [jumps on another platform] Well, what do ya know! A little watering hole just for me!
[Mutt grabs Nod]
Hyp: You guys can have some, if I leave any! [jumps down] Whoo-hoo! Water! Huh? I'm sinking! I'm sinking! Don't just stand there! Pull me out!
Mutt: Oh, yeah!
Nod: Uh, right! What do we do?
Mutt: I don't know. What do ya think we should do?
Hyp: Somebody do something! Help! Help!
Littlefoot: That's Hyp!
[They head down.]
Hyp: Get me out! Get me out!
Nod: You pull him out!
Mutt: What if I get stuck?
Nod: I'll pull you out.
Mutt: What if you get stuck?
Littlefoot: He's stuck in a tar pit! Stop moving, Hyp! It'll make you sink faster!
[Hyp stops moving]
Littlefoot: We'll have to pull him out! Everybody line up!
[the bee lands on Hyp]
Petrie: Okay, when me say pull, pull!
[they all try to get Hyp out of the water]
Hyp: Hey! You're squishing me! Sorry.
Petrie: [lets Hyp go] Uh-oh! [dives in the water]
Ducky: Petrie! Pull!
[they all help get Hyp out of the water]
Nod: [to Hyp] Are ya... Are ya okay, Hyp? Are ya?
Hyp: Of course I'm okay! I was never not okay!
Petrie: He a big, fat fibber!
Cera: Yeah! We helped you, and you know it!
Hyp: I don't need anybody's help! Not now! Not ever!
Ducky: But everyone needs help sometime. They do.
[Hyp doesn't care until the adults show up.]
Hyp: Help. [hides behind Littlefoot, Cera, Spike, Ducky, and Petrie]
Cera's Dad: There they are!
Grandpa: Littlefoot? This is no time to go exploring! Didn't you realize you wandered into the Mysterious Beyond?
Littlefoot: We weren't exploring, Grandpa. We were trying to stop the bullies... Uh, I mean Hyp and his friends, or they might've gotten hurt.
Hyp's Father: Hyp! Here we are chasing after you, when we should be finding a way to free the water! I thought I told you to stay where it was safe! [Hyp frowns] Don't look at me that way! I'm your father, and I know what's best for you!
[Cera's dad realized what he has done,]
Cera's Dad: Yelling is no way to teach your child what is right, or to show that you care.
Hyp: How would you know?
Cera's Dad: I know because... Because I have a daughter, and I yell at her, too much. Especially when I'm worried for her safety.
Cera: You don't have to worry about me, Daddy.
Cera's Dad: If you always react with anger, that's all your son will know, and that's all he'll be able to express to others.
Hyp: What?
Cera's Dad: I know now that we can't live together that way, with such anger between us. Our kids found water because they worked together. Now we must work together too.
Grandpa: At last we all agree.
[Mutt sniffles]
Hyp: Ahh! What's the matter with you?
Mutt: [crying] Nothin', except I think we're in trouble.
Hyp: Yeah, so what else is new?
Mutt: That!
[They look to see a Velociraptor]
Mutt: And that!
[More raptors are everywhere.]
Grandpa: Children, stay behind me!
Cera's Dad: And me.
Kosh: Count us in too.
Grandpa: Littlefoot! You and your friends run to safety!
[the raptor attack,]
Hyp's dad: Through here, kids! Follow me!
[They follow Hyps dad.]
Littlefoot: Grandpa!
Hyp's dad: Don't look back! Come on!
[They continue running.]
Grandpa: We can't let them pass!
[Velociraptor hisses and they charge right at the kids.]
Cera's Dad: They've gone after the children!
[They go after the raptors.]
Hyp's Father: Stay close! We're going to get help!
[They continue on running until the raptors corner them.]
Cera's Dad: Stop where you are, Sharpteeth!
[the Velociraptors walk away]
Cera: They're leaving.
Hyp's Father: Yes, but why?
[the Velociraptors continue snarling]
Hyp: Something bad is happening up there.
[They back away until Nod and Mutt run away.]
Hyp: Stop, you babies!
[they both stop]
Hyp: [runs by Nod and Mutt] Me first!
Hyp's Father: Hyp!
[Another earthquake.]
Littlefoot: Look!
Cera: Oh, no! Daddy!
Littlefoot: Grandpa!
[the Velociraptors get up and start to approach]
Hyp's Father: You kids get to the top of that dam where it's safer!
Littlefoot: But what about the grown-ups?
Hyp's Farher: Just get out of here! I'll handle this.
[they all run away]
Cera: Come on!
[Hyp's father started to attack the raptors.]
Nod: [laughing] Look at your dad, risking his neck.
Mutt: Yeah, what a dope.
Hyp: He is not! [runs down] Dad! [singing] Nah, nah, can't get me.
Hyp's Father: Son?
[Hyp glups, then runs away, screaming. a tail knocked the pack back.]
Littlefoot: The grown-ups are all right!
[they all cheer]
Hyp: I'm outta here! [walks up]
[the Velociraptors walk up, snarling as Cera's dad knocks them into the rocks.]
Petrie: That serve Sharptooth right. He bigger bully than you.
Hyp: Hey, watch it!
Littlefoot: Come on! Let's get 'em with more rocks!
[they all push a rock]
Hyp: Are you nuts? By the time you budge that, those Sharpteeth will be picking their teeth with our bones!
Littlefoot: We've gotta try!
Hyp: Move over, hatchlings!
[Hyp joins in and push but it was too heavy.]
Hyp: This isn't gonna work!
Littlefoot: Hyp!
Cera: Oh, forget it, Littlefoot. He's a creep!
Hyp: Who you calling names? Now get in there and help, you creeps!
[Nod and Mutt help in.]
Hyp: Okay, everybody! Let's get 'em!
[they all push a rock. It slides down knocking the raptors.]
Littlefoot: We did it!
[the Velociraptors pop out of the rocks]
Grandpa: [to the Velociraptors] Leave our children alone!
Littlefoot: We've got to stop the fighting!
Cera: Then let's squish those Sharpteeth once and for all!
[Littlefloot look and saw water.]
Littlefoot: Huh? Look! Water! We unblocked the water!
[The flow of water leaked down as the raptors corner the adults.]
Grandpa: Run!
[they climb to the hill as the water burst open, washing the raptors away.]
Grandpa: Looks like you and your friends saved the day, Littlefoot.
Littlefoot: I think we all did, Grandpa.
Ducky: [giggling] Spike likes you now. He does.
Narrator: And so, with the return of the water, the Great Valley dinosaurs were able to go home again. But the home they returned to wasn't the same. Fire had destroyed much of their green food. But instead of giving in to despair, the dinosaurs divided into groups to find the spots where green food still grew.
Littlefoot: Hey, everybody! We found more!
Hyp's Father: Did you hear that? More green food!
Kosh: How wonderful!
Hyp's Father: Where? I mean... [clears throat] Where, son?
Hyp: In a little canyon not far from here, Pop. If we share, there should be enough for everyone.
Nod: You feelin' okay, Hyp? You're talkin' about sharing!
Mutt: Uh, yeah, sharing!
Hyp: I know that! Not sharing is for scaredy-eggs! Right?
Both: Right.
[they all laugh]
Ducky: Sharing is good. [repeated line] Yep, yep, yep!
Littlefoot: Come on! Everybody follow us!
Narrator: And so, as it turned out, the dinosaurs traveled from green spot to green spot, eating their fill, each helping the others to find what they needed, each learning the special kind of joy, which comes from giving to others. And in the years to come, this story of sharing was told over and over again, until it became known as: "The Time of the Great Giving."
