The Land Before Time Script

==Transcript/Opening Previews==
(We see a black screen momentarily and then hear a judge banging his gavel and yelling "ORDER IN THE COURT! ORDER IN THE COURT!!!" in a rather unconvincing manner. Then the screen lightens up and we see a black-and-white courtroom scene, possibly taken from an old movie. The judge continues speaking. "Respond the question, did you or did you not copy The Land Before Time," he says to the guilty man in this scene. We see an old woman shaking and gritting her teeth. "Well," the judge says. "I did," the man says in a disgraceful manner. Everyone gasps and the woman shrieks. "Take him away, boys," the judge says to two policemen. After the guilty man is taken away, the green FBI warnings spin up to us briefly. "Don't even think about copying this videotape," the judge says and we hear the sound of a jail door closing)
(After the green FBI warnings, the 1986 Walt Disney Home Video logo appears)

Mark Elliott: But the evil sorcerer Jafar has learned the secret of Aladdin's power.
Jafar: He has the lamp.
Mark Elliott: And he'll stop at nothing to steal it apart.
Jafar: It's time to say a farewell.
Aladdin: We'll just see about that!
(Jafar's staff gets destroyed, but we cut to Jafar pulling out a vial)

==Transcript/Movie==
(One night, long, long ago, three huge figures stood in a gentle rain, waiting patiently past a lonely nest. Raindrops splash against cracked and smashed eggshells, which glisten until a bolt of lightning zigzags across the heavens. Only one egg is yet entire, and the three long-necks are guarding it)
(As the two older, wrinkled long-necks look on, their daughter nudges her egg gently with her nose. It is taking such a long time to hatch that she is concerned. Suddenly it bounces and rocks, and the two older long-necks grin)
(But the egg doesn't break open)
Littlefoot's Mother: That is a hard birth.
(As if in agreement, a flash of lightning cracks across the heavens and a smash of thunder shakes the air. The egg bounces again......and again. Then it lurches clear out of the nest, rolls down the sloping mound that surrounds the nest, and wobbles to a stop past a shallow pond)
(Suddenly, a hungry claw-hand jumps out of the nearby bushes. He grabs the egg greedily and speeds away. He is fast, but the mother long-neck is faster. With one swipe of her strong neck, she knocks the claw-hand to the ground, and the egg flies out of his hands. The claw-hand scurries off, frustrated at being cheated out of his dinner)
(But now, the egg rolls crazily down a steep hill. Mother Long-neck watches hopelessly as it goes over branches and rocks and eventually plops into a fast, shallow stream)
Littlefoot's Mother: Oh, dear! The falls!
(The egg suddenly goes over the edge of a steep waterfall and disappears into the foaming water. It bobs up at the bottom of the falls, spinning and rolling furiously in the whirlpools. The rushing water hits it against a bed of soft sand past the edge of the stream. The egg rocks to a stop and lays there, totally silent)
(The long-necks rush over to it. In despair, the mother nudges the egg once more)
Littlefoot's Mother: Is the last egg dead now, as well?
(Suddenly, a loud crack makes her pull back from the egg in surprise. There is yet a chance)
(The three long-necks watch in awe as a wagging tail bursts out, sending pieces of shell flying through the air. The tail is followed by two sturdy hind legs that wiggle their road out. Eventually, a cute little head appears. It is a perfect baby boy long-neck)
(The little baby looks around, bewildered. His mother coos at him gently and he looks up. As she lowers her head, he shies off. She just unfurls her huge tongue and gives him a loving lick. Suddenly, the world is a fine place)
Littlefoot's Grandmother: Why, he's just adorable! What will you call him?
(The mother takes her baby lovingly in her mouth and swings him high in the air and onto her back. The baby cuddles warmly against her neck, making a bleating sound remarkably like a lamb)
Littlefoot's Mother: I will call him Littlefoot.
Littlefoot's Grandfather: Littlefoot, a best name.
(A curious bunch of small animals have surrounded the proud mother and grandparents and are also nodding to each other in approval. As far as any of them knows, this baby will be the last long-neck born in the area, and they look up at him with interest)
All: Yes. That is a nice name for the last long-neck––Littlefoot!
(As Littlefoot grows into a strong, handsome young long-neck, his mother and grandparents are very proud of him. Life has been easy for a while, but the land is changing. Every day it seems as if there are fewer leaves on the trees)
Littlefoot: Will it always be like this?
Littlefoot's Mother: No, darling. That is why we have been traveling. All the herds are following the bright circle in the heavens to the place where it touches the ground. It will lead us to the Grand Valley.
(At that moment, Littlefoot's mother looks up and gasps with delight)
Littlefoot's Mother: Littlefoot, look! A tree star!
(She reaches up and gently plucks the last star-shaped leaf from a tall tree. She places it next to Littlefoot and he looks at it admiringly)
Littlefoot's Mother: The Grand Valley is filled with green-food like this, and fresh cool water. That is a wonderful place, where we can all live happily together.
Littlefoot: Where will we get there?
Littlefoot's Mother: I–I don't know. But if we have faith and follow the bright circle to where it touches the ground, we will get there.
Littlefoot: Have you ever been there?
(Grinning gently, his mother responds no)
Littlefoot: Well...how can you be sure it's really there?
Littlefoot's Mother: Some facts you see with your eyes. Others you see with your heart.
Littlefoot: I don't understand, Mother.
Littlefoot's Mother: Someday maybe you will.
(Littlefoot looks down at the tree star. He is about to take a bite until he hears someone yell)
(He pokes his head through some reeds and sees a little girl three-horn charging about, butting everything and everyone in sight and yelling)
(Littlefoot laughs in delight. He comes out of his hiding place in the reeds. The little three-horn takes one look at him and grins)
(All of a sudden, she yells)
Cera: Aarrgghh! (She is going to charge him)
Littlefoot: What a grand game.
(Suddenly, a huge, stern-looking three-horn blocks his road. It is the little three-horn's father. He scowls at Littlefoot and then turns to his child)
Cera's Father: Come, Cera. Three-horns never play with long-necks!
(Littlefoot trips over his own tail as he tries to back off. His mother comes to the rescue just in time and plucks him up by the tail. Cera's father does the same to her)
(Littlefoot scrambles up near his mother's head)
Littlefoot: What's a long-neck?
Littlefoot's Mother: Why, that's what we are, darling.
Littlefoot: Oh. Why can't I play with that three-horn?
Littlefoot's Mother: Questions, questions. It's just the fashion that is. We all keep to ourselves......the three-horns, the spike-tails, the swimmers, the fliers...we never do anything together.
Littlefoot: But–
(His mother cuts in)
Littlefoot's Mother: If you reach the Grand Valley, you will have many of your own kind to play with.
(Littlefoot yet doesn't understand. He wonders if they ever really will reach the Grand Valley. He is yet thinking about this while the family rests in a shady glen near the swamp. As he lays down past his mother, he puts the tree-star underneath his head as a pillow)
(He has no sooner fallen asleep than he hears a funny noise. Ribbit, ribbit. He lazily opens one eye. A grand big hopper is staring him right in the face. The hopper jumps off, and Littlefoot jumps up and follows it)
Cera: That's my hopper! (It is the little three-horn)
Littlefoot: I saw him first.
Cera: But he's in my pond! (She chases the creature down a muddy slope, bumping right into it. With a ribbit and a plop, it disappears into a swampy pond)
(Then Littlefoot slides down and bumps into Cera. He thinks she will get mad, but she just splashes after the hopper, which is making bubbles on the surface of the murky brown water)
(Cera chortles with delight and jumps on the bubbles, bursting each one as it comes up. Littlefoot joins in, and soon the two of them are playing as if their fight a short while ago has never happened. They are so busy playing that they don't see a dark shadow growing bigger and bigger. Suddenly, a horrifying roar fills the air, and the ground shakes under their feet)
(They both look up and see an enormous figure heading toward them. Their hearts freeze in terror)
(Littlefoot and Cera stand in the shadow of the most ferocious and deadly creature in the land––Sharptooth)
Cera: What've we done?
Littlefoot: Faster! Into that tree!
(They both dive into a huge hollow tree. But the monster is with them. With a mighty roar, he crushes the tree between his horrible jaws)
(Splinters of tiny branches and chunks of dead bark rain on Littlefoot and Cera as they slide into the swamp mud)
Littlefoot: What now?
(Cera looks around in a panic. Then she spots an opening in a thicket)
Cera: In there, hide!
(Sharptooth is at their heels, and they can feel the ground tremble. Littlefoot and Cera cower in the center of the brambles, thinking they are safe, but Sharptooth chews and tears through the twisted boughs. Littlefoot can feel the monster's hot breath on his tail. Jumping up to get away, he gets caught in some thorny black branches. Sharptooth bears down on him with evil glee)
(At the very last moment, Littlefoot frees himself. One of the hard thorny branches snaps back and hits Sharptooth right in the eye. The monster bellows in pain and rears back from the brambles. Then, with a horrible fury, he plunges back into the thicket, searching for the puny creature that has dared to injure him)
(Littlefoot and Cera watch fearfully as the giant creature suddenly stops and sniffs the air. Then he stomps out of their view)
Cera: Let's move further back.
Littlefoot: No, wait! (But it's no use) Hey, wait for me!
(Littlefoot's lament gives off their hiding place, and with a frustrated growl, Sharptooth attacks the bushes once more. They are trapped)
(Closer and closer, the monster comes. Although one of his eyes is swollen shut, he is growling softly, enjoying his moment of revenge. Then he opens his jaws and pounces)
(Suddenly, from out of nowhere, a huge tail hits his head and slaps it around. It is Littlefoot's mother)
(Sharptooth shakes his head to clear it. Then he turns to face the attacker. As he sees Littlefoot's mother, he bolts up and starts to pace around her. With a speed that is surprising for such a heavy animal, Sharptooth lunges at Littlefoot's mother)
Littlefoot: Run, Littlefoot! (Cera and Littlefoot try to get away, but find themselves underneath her feet)
(The huge monster attacks again and snaps his jaws, hoping for a fast murder. But Littlefoot's mother sidesteps the again and gives the monster another powerful blow with her strong tail. Sharptooth reels back dizzily, but swiftly regains his balance. He jumps on Littlefoot's mother and hangs on savagely, trying to bite her neck. But she twists and squirms and fights back)
(Littlefoot and Cera flinch against the wall of a cliff face, watching the battle with mounting terror)
Littlefoot's Mother: Run, now! I will follow you.
(The young long-neck and three-horn run as fast as they can, turning back in fright. Littlefoot's mother has now freed herself from Sharptooth's death grip and is smashing through rocks and boulders, trying to make a path for them to escape)
(Once again, the beast charges. And once again, Littlefoot's mother strikes him down. His fall sends a huge wave of mud toward Littlefoot and Cera, which catch them up and carry them right into the jaws of the raging monster. Littlefoot's mother, realizing that she will have to act faster to save the two youngsters, bravely jumps forward and hits Sharptooth in the belly with all her might. The grand beast goes down with a ground-shaking force)
Littlefoot's Mother: Now, Littlefoot, run through that canyon!
(Littlefoot and Cera scoot through a small canyon between the cliff walls. Littlefoot's mother is right behind them and Sharptooth scrambles to his feet. Just as Cera and Littlefoot find shelter among some rocks, the ground suddenly begins to move. A crack appears and rapidly begins to widen. The ground underneath them rumbles and shakes and tilts sideways. Rocks, trees and chunks of earth explode into the air as they cling to each other, trying to stay on their feet)
(Littlefoot's mother is nowhere to be seen. Only Sharptooth is yet there, stomping their road with a wild look on his face. Littlefoot realizes that Sharptooth is no longer chasing them, but only trying to save his own life)
(Suddenly the ground they were standing on tilts wildly, and amid a hot steam of black smoke, the two youngsters slide back, right onto Sharptooth's toes)
(Now the three of them are stepping back together. A deep canyon has opened, and they are all sliding toward it. Sharptooth is going tail first, where Littlefoot and Cera scramble up his body to his head)
(Even in his terror, the huge beast sees his chance to crush the tiny creatures who have caused him so much damage. But as his jaws open wide for the murder, the snap of a familiar tail sends Sharptooth flipping in the air. Littlefoot and Cera go sailing up past him. The next moment, the huge beast falls screeching into the dark canyon, slipping and clawing at the sides. A few heartbeats later, Littlefoot and Cera shriek as they slip down after him)
(Littlefoot and Cera are suddenly snatched up in midair by Littlefoot's mother. But they are safe only for a moment, because other cracks appear in the ground and the earth continues to tear apart)
(As Cera runs away to find her family, Littlefoot tries to stay close to his mother. But the steam gushing up from the jagged cracks in the ground, the noise and the toppling rocks horrify the herds. They smash into each other and stumble and fall, trying to escape the horrible earthquake. In the confusion, Littlefoot loses sight of his mother and finds himself alone and frightened)
(The earthquake is coming to an end. With a few more bursts of smoke and steam and a final shudder, the ground stops trembling. As rain begins to fall, Littlefoot vainly searches for his mother)
Littlefoot: Mother! Mother...where are you?
(Only the echo of his own voice comes back to him. Then, beyond a huge boulder, he sees her on the cracked and smoking ground. She is lying on her side, breathing with deep wheezing gasps)
Littlefoot: Mother, what's wrong? Get up!
(His mother attempts to rise, but she is too weak. Sharptooth has wounded her after all)
Littlefoot: Mother, please get up.
(She tries again, but once more falls back. She looks at Littlefoot in grand pity. She knows that it is the end for her. She hopes with all her heart that Littlefoot will be brave and go ahead without her)
Littlefoot's Mother: Dear Littlefoot, do you remember.....the road to the Grand Valley?
Littlefoot: I guess so. But why do I have to know? You're going to be with me.
Littlefoot's Mother: Yes, Littlefoot, that's right. I'll be with you all the road to the Grand Valley even if you can't see me.
Littlefoot: That's silly. I can always see you.
(His mother nods at him gently)
Littlefoot's Mother: I'll be in your heart, Littlefoot. Let your heart guide you-----it whispers, then listen carefully.
(His mother looks as if she are about to get up again, but she only raises her head and gazes into the distance. Then she lowers her long neck to the ground and is very silent)
Littlefoot: Mother? Mother! (But she does not respond. Littlefoot turns and walks off into the pouring rain)
(At the top of a steep sand hill, Littlefoot stands with tears in his eyes. Making his road down the hill, he loses his balance and topples to the bottom, landing on an odd-looking spiked rock)
Rock: Hey! Watch where you're falling! (Littlefoot is so surprised that he falls over. Then he realizes that the rock is a big old spiked turtle)
(The turtle comes over and sniffs at him)
Turtle: My, my, my...you thinking about starting a river? What's the damage? You can warn old Rooter.
Littlefoot: This is so unfair! She should have known better. She knew Sharptooth was dangerous. It's all my mother's fault. What am I going to do without her?
(Rooter looks at him kindly)
Rooter: Oh, I see...I dare see.
Littlefoot: Why did I wander so far from home? If I hadn't, we would have never met Sharptooth.
Rooter: It was not your fault. It was not your mother's fault. Now, you pay attention to old Rooter. That is nobody's fault. The grand circle of life has a beginning. But you see, not all of us arrive together at the end.
Littlefoot: But what have I done? I miss her so much.
Rooter: And you will always miss her. But she will always be with you, as long as you remember what she taught you.
Littlefoot: My tummy hurts.
Rooter: That, as well, will go in time. (Then he snorts and lumbers off)
(The long-neck is alone once more. He looks up, ready to weep again. But his eye catches something green and shimmering, floating on the wind. He brushes off a tear to see better. It is the tree star his mother has given him. It hovers over his head, but floats to the ground, surrounding him with a warm, glowing light that makes him feel nice all over)
(He looks up at the heavens once more. He sees a big cloud shaped just like his mother, and the wind in the rocks and trees form themselves into words)
Littlefoot's Mother: Dear Littlefoot, do you remember the road to the Grand Valley?
(Littlefoot's heart swells with joy. Rooter is right––––his mother is yet with him. They are bound together with a love that is stronger than death)
Littlefoot's Mother: Remember, follow the bright circle past the grand rock that looks like a long-neck...and past the mountains that burn. And I'll be with you, even though you cannot see me. I'll be in your heart, Littlefoot. Let your heart guide you.....remember...it whispers.
(Littlefoot places the tree star on his head. He knows that he isn't really alone. With his head high, he marches on across the shattered landscape)
(A short while later, he sees someone up ahead. It is the little three-horn Cera. He rushes up to her)
Littlefoot: Hello!
Cera: What have you done?
(Littlefoot is puzzled. Is she yet frustrated with him?)
Littlefoot: I–I don't know. Where are you going?
Cera: I'm going to find my own kind. They're on the other side of the canyon.
Littlefoot: But you can't get to the other side from here.
Cera: Perhaps you can't. (Then she starts down the steep side of the canyon)
Littlefoot: Please, wait! I'm going to the Grand Valley. We could help each other.
(Cera is about to say that she doesn't need any help, until she slips down into the darkness of the canyon)
(For a moment, Littlefoot is tempted to follow. It is better than being alone, he thinks)
(But he doesn't. He can hear Cera shouting up to him)
Cera: I'm going to find my sisters...
(Littlefoot turns mournfully and walks toward the setting sun. Even with the tree star to console him, he starts to weep again)
(He hasn't gone far until he comes to a small pond. In its clear surface, he sees his own tearful face staring back at him. Suddenly, his face breaks into a thousand pieces as the water erupts in front of him)
(Out of the pond bursts a little female big mouth, younger than Littlefoot and friendly-looking)
Ducky: Hello. My name's Ducky. What's yours?
(Littlefoot sniffs back his tears and ignores her)
Ducky: I said hello! Can't you speak, right?
(Littlefoot remembers how Cera has acted toward him)
Littlefoot: Long-necks don't speak to.....whatever you are.
(Ducky can't understand)
Ducky: I'm a long-neck like you. You see? (She stretches her neck to make it as long as she can)
(Littlefoot just shakes his head and stares at her, as he thinks Cera will do. Ducky shrinks back and looks mournful)
Ducky: Alright. I am not a long-neck. I am a big mouth. But I am alone. Yes, I am. I lost my family in the big earthshake.
(Littlefoot's heart fills with pity. He doesn't like pretending to be something he is not. He no longer cares what Cera will do so)
Littlefoot: Do you want to go with me?
Ducky: Oh, yes, I do!
Littlefoot: C'mon then! But you have to keep up.
Ducky: I will keep up. Where are we going? What?
Littlefoot: To the Grand Valley. I'm not going to stop until I find my grandparents.
Ducky: Oh, certainly! Perhaps I will find my family there, as well.
(Littlefoot just nods and walks away in the direction of the bright circle in the heavens. Ducky skips and bounces alongside, trying to keep up. Soon she makes a game of it and guffaws in delight. They are both very hungry, but there is nothing to eat except scraggly palm trees. Littlefoot bites down on one and hears a strange squeak)
Ducky: The tree is speaking.
Littlefoot: No, it isn't.
(Suddenly, a small creature slides down right onto his face. Something flutters and squawks around his head and he lets go of the tree with a cry. The squawking fact scrambles off scurries into a nearby hole. Littlefoot and Ducky peer in and come face-to-face with a disgraceful-looking little flier)
Ducky: Who are you?
(The little flier gives out a whistling sound)
Flier: My name is Petrie. (He grins at them) Did I flied off the tree?
Ducky: No, you fell.
(Petrie gives out a series of mournful whistles)
Petrie: I no flied. I falled!
Ducky: But if you can't fly, how did you get up that tree?
Petrie: I climb.
Littlefoot: Fliers aren't supposed to climb. They're supposed to fly.
(Petrie whistles again)
Petrie: Too hard to fly.
(Soon Petrie makes friends with Littlefoot and Ducky and asks if he can go with them to the Grand Valley. Littlefoot feels very sorry for the little creature and doesn't want to leave him all alone, where he says yes)
(In the meantime, Cera is alone in the deep canyon. She wanders along, jumping at every sound and shadow. She misses Littlefoot------even if he is a long-neck. Clouds have covered the sun, sending the canyon into darkness. Cera bumps into something and bounces back)
Cera: What was that?
(As clouds move off and shafts of sunlight stream down, she can see that she has bumped into Sharptooth)
(Cera starts to bolt, until she notices that his best eye is closed and he isn't moving. He is dead, she guesses. That makes her brave. She charges at the huge head and gives her battle cry)
Cera: Arrrghh!
(She stops just short of butting it, but backs up and charges again. She backs up a third time and digs her feet into the ground, lowers her head and charges. Just as she is about to hit the monster's head, she glances up and cries in fright––Sharptooth's eye is open and frowning at her hatefully. He is yet alive)
(Cera shrieks and scrambles up the canyon side, but Sharptooth's tail hits down in front of her. It looks as if she is trapped)
(As darkness falls, Littlefoot, Ducky and Petrie are plodding among a bleak, dried-up plain. Petrie tries to keep up with his two new friends, but his little legs can't do it. He climbs up to Littlefoot's head, rolls up the tree star that Littlefoot yet carried, and tucks it under his wing)
Petrie: This much better.
(Littlefoot shakes his head no)
Littlefoot: I'm not a carrier. Get off! You're a flier, then start flying. (But Petrie won't budge) Then I'll make you fly!
(With the little flier clinging to his head, he starts to run. Petrie flaps his wings in the wind. But he is too afraid to let go)
(Suddenly, a horrible shriek echoes down the plain. The three friends stop in their tracks. The shrieking comes nearer and nearer. In the darkness, the three travelers stumble into the skeleton of a large animal. They all turn to run the other road, but it's no use. With a wild rush, the shrieking creature runs into their midst)
(The moon suddenly comes out from behind a cloud, and Littlefoot can now see that the shrieking creature is Cera)
Littlefoot: Cera, what just happened? Why are you so frightened?
Cera: Frightened? Me? Why are you so frightened!
Littlefoot: W-we're not.
Cera: Well, you should be frightened. I've just met Sharptooth, and he's alive!
Littlefoot: It's not possible. Sharptooth is dead.
(Cera stamps her feet)
Cera: He's alive, I saw him. His one big eye is looking at me. I fought him bravely and just barely escaped.
(Littlefoot doesn't believe her story, but he admits her courage)
Littlefoot: Would you like to join us?
Cera: Why not? You will need a brave three-horn with you.
(The next morning, the four of them trudge on across the barren land. As the bright circle is high in the heavens, Ducky comes upon a nest with one unhatched egg lying among broken shells. Strange sounds are coming from the egg––snoring, then yawning. Ducky gives a cry of delight and taps the egg. It starts to crack open. A sleepy head appears. Ducky swiftly peels off the rest of the shell, and there stands a sleepy-eyed spike-tail)
Ducky: You are a spike-tail, where I will call you Spike.
(The rest of the group come running up)
Ducky: This is my new friend, Spike. Can we take him with us? Right? Right?
Cera: He'll slow us down. All spike-tails can do is eat and burp. Sharptooth will catch and eat us!
Littlefoot: No more dumb stories.
Cera: I'm warning the truth!
(Over Cera's protests, Spike joins the group. As they are crossing a barren valley, Littlefoot finds a brook trickling up through the parched ground. He sniffs the air)
Littlefoot: I smell tree-stars!
(Littlefoot raises his neck and peers through an opening between some huge boulders. In the valley below is a cluster of beautiful green trees. As he warns the others about it, everyone starts to speak at once)
Ducky: The Grand Valley!
Cera: Yes, the Grand Valley!
Littlefoot: But wait! We haven't seen the long-neck rock yet, or the mountains that burn.
(Cera is too emotional to listen. She starts down the ravine, with the others close behind. Suddenly, there is a grand rumble. The ground begins to shake and they look around in a panic)
(A huge herd of bump-heads is swooping down on the trees. It doesn't take them long to pick the trees clean. Then they thunder off again)
(Cera looks around frustratedly)
Cera: Look what these greedy bump-heads did so! What happens to me now? I'm yet hungry!
Petrie: You hungry? I empty all the road to my head! Now we at Grand Valley and we yet not have green-foods.
(But Littlefoot exists that this isn't the Grand Valley)
Ducky: That is not a grand anything. No, no.
(Walking from tree to tree, the group finds one that yet has some leaves at the very top. It is too high for even Littlefoot to reach)
(Then he gets an idea. He has everyone form a pyramid, with Petrie at the top. But before they can get to the leaves, the pyramid collapses, leaving Petrie and Ducky hanging from a single leaf)
(A moment later, the leaf tears as Petrie and Ducky fall towards the ground, each yet clutching half of the leaf. Littlefoot takes a deep breath and blows upwards. The leaf catches the air as Petrie and Ducky float down)
(In the next moment, part of a branch that is complete with tasty-looking green-food fell. Everyone dives into the feast––except Cera. She suddenly tries to get the rest of the branch down by butting the tree, but only makes herself dizzy. Littlefoot feels very sorry for her, and as she butts the tree once more, he throws a tuft of leaves into the air. It lands right next to her and she proudly looks around)
Cera: You see? I can take care of myself. (She goes away and munches her food) And I'm not afraid to be alone. I'm not afraid of Sharptooth! But I hope he doesn't eat any of you.
(The little group looks at each other anxiously)
Littlefoot: Don't worry. There isn't any Sharptooth.
(But that night, Petrie, Spike and Ducky make sure they have plenty of company. First, they cuddle near Cera. Then they cuddle near Littlefoot. In the middle of the night, since she is sure they're all asleep, Cera creeps up to everyone else and cuddles in as well)
(The next morning, as wisps of fog drift side-by-side overhead, Cera awakens and sniffs the air. Something is out there in the gray mist. Then she looks down and realizes that the large hole in which they have made their bed is really a giant footprint––Sharptooth's footprint)
Cera: Wake up! Wake up, everybody!
Littlefoot: Hey, stop that! I want to sleep.
(A horrible and familiar roar suddenly shakes the air. Through the fog, the young travelers look and to their horror, see the huge shape of Sharptooth. And because of Littlefoot's yelling, he sees them, as well. With another horrible cry, the big beast thunders toward them, his enormous mouth wide open and his one nice eye glinting with hatred)
(The group tries to run off, but Sharptooth is too fast. Whichever fashion they dodge, they cut them off)
Littlefoot: Run! I'll keep him busy!
(Petrie, on Littlefoot's head, is holding fast to the tree-star. He is bug-eyed with terror)
Petrie: We run, as well!
(But Littlefoot is already trying to draw attention to himself. It works––Sharptooth comes after him and Petrie)
(Cera darts into a small opening between some rocks, with Ducky and Spike close behind. Littlefoot and Petrie are only inches in front of the monster and can feel his hot breath on their necks)
Petrie: Now I wish I fly! (Sharptooth takes a vicious swipe at them. In a panic, Petrie drops the tree-star, and Sharptooth crushes it with his massive feet)
(Just as Littlefoot and Petrie squeeze between the rocks, Sharptooth plows into the opening with tremendous force. But it's too small for him. He claws at the entrance in a bellowing rage)
(As the group huddles together again, Cera turns to Littlefoot)
Cera: I warned you Sharptooth was alive, you foolish long-neck! You almost got us murdered!
Littlefoot: I'm sorry. But we're safe now.
Cera: Nobody's safe with you. It's a nice fact I was around to save us.
Ducky: Brave Cera. You ran first to show us the road.
(Cera isn't sure what Ducky means by that, but before she can respond, Littlefoot points)
Littlefoot: It's the rock that looks like a long-neck. That's the road to the Grand Valley!
(As the group trudges on, they come to mountains that are smoking)
Littlefoot: You see? These are the mountains that burn. We are going the right road to the Grand Valley for sure!
(But the road through them is hard. Hot burning embers rain down on them from the erupting mountains, and they find themselves walking through deep ash. A long time passes, and the brave little group is getting more tired and hungry with each plodding step. At last, they leave the mountains behind. Now they are in a hot sandy desert)
Petrie: I tried. Road to Grand Valley too grand fashion!
Littlefoot: We're almost there. Don't give up now!
(Suddenly, Spike becomes alert and sniffs the air)
Ducky: He must smell food. It's the only fact that would wake him up.
(Spike snorts and gallops over a small hill. The others follow, staring in wonder at what they see. There is a small spring of water surrounded by a group of thin gray noses. Near the spring but standing apart is a cluster of trees complete with delicious-looking green food, surrounded by a group of fat crown-heads)
(Littlefoot and the others race down the hill, yelling and cheering. But as they get closer, they see the hard looks on everybody's face, and the cheers die in their throats)
(A stern-looking gray nose comes up to them)
Crown-Head: What have you done, little ones?
Littlefoot: Food!
Ducky: And water, yes, yes!
(A fat crown-head waddles up)
Crown-Head: No food!
Gray Nose: You may drink. You are a big mouth like us. But––no water for them!
Ducky: But they need drinks, as well! They're my friends.
Crown-Head: These are your friends? A three-horn? A long-neck, a spike-tail, and––and whatever that is.
Gray Nose: Yes, run off faster, before spikes and horns grow on you!
(Cera can't believe what she is hearing. She has never realized before how silly that is to dislike someone just because he looks different. All she knew now is that they all need food and water)
(She rears up her head)
Cera: We're hungry! All of us!
(The thin gray nose stares at her)
Gray Nose: And so are we.
Littlefoot: Then why don't you share the water with the crown-heads? And they could share the food with you. Then you wouldn't be hungry and they wouldn't be thirsty.
Crown-Head: No, no, no!
Cera: Well, if you don't change your minds, all of you will die!
Ducky: Why don't you love each other anyhow?
Gray Nose: The crown-heads are on the other side of the swamp.
Littlefoot: I don't see anything wrong with that.
Cera: This is nonsense. I'm hungry! Let's go somewhere else to look for food together.
(With that said, the small group marches off. The gray nose shakes his head mournfully)
Gray Nose: I'll never understand the young ones. (He nods and goes back to guard the food)
(A while later, Littlefoot, Cera and the rest of the group are at the bottom of a huge sand hill, shivering with hunger and thirst. The brave words they have uttered before seem to come back to mock them now. They are ready to give up––all but Littlefoot)
Littlefoot: All what we've been through together, you can't quit now!
Petrie: Aah! Best time to quit.
Ducky: Yes, that is too hard, too far. I cannot go to the Grand Valley. No, no, no!
Littlefoot: But what if the Grand Valley is just over the top of this hill?
Cera: What if the Grand Valley is nowhere? I've never seen it. Have you?
Littlefoot: I've seen it with my heart. (And he starts to climb up the hill. The others shrug and follow wearily)
Cera: You see? I warned you, you foolish flathead. There's nothing but a big crater here! (She is about to go back down the hill, but the sand underneath her suddenly gives room, as she and the others slide to the bottom of the rocky crater)
(As they shakily get to their feet and look around, they see two distant paths leading out of the crater. One slopes gently through a notch in the crater wall. The other is a narrow trail straight up that looks hard and dangerous to climb)
(Littlefoot heads for the narrow trail)
Littlefoot: This way!
(But Cera doesn't will to take the hard path. She sees other animals' footprints going up the easy path, and she wants to take it)
Littlefoot: But we have to keep following the bright circle. There, up that narrow trail!
Cera: Well, you go up there, then. (Ducky and Spike follow Cera, leaving Petrie alone with Littlefoot)
Petrie: I think perhaps time to go new fashion.
(Littlefoot angrily flings Petrie off his head)
Littlefoot: You're the flier! Fly away and find the valley yourself...I don't need you. I don't need any of you! (He turns in the direction of the bright circle and the hard path. Ducky, Petrie and Spike wave a tearful farewell and turn to follow Cera)
(Cera leads the group up the easy path out of the crater. Now the going is anything, but easy. All about them, burning mountains are spewing fire and smoke. Red fog swirls among them, reflecting the sides of the mountains. Everywhere they looked are black caves and dark ravines, and they imagine all sorts of creatures lurking within them)
(Now, as well, they can see what just happened to the other animals that have come this fashion. Skeletons and bodies of dead animals loom out of the mist and seem to be warning them to go back)
Ducky: I wish Littlefoot were with us now.
(Spike nods in agreement as he stops to nibble at a scrawny bush)
Ducky: Spike! Do not stop! No, no! We must stay together. We do not want to be alone...do we? (But even as she says that, she notices they are alone. Cera and Petrie have disappeared into the misty fog)
(Meanwhile, Littlefoot has just climbed out of the crater and faces a lonely plain. He looks around forlornly, hardly able to move. Just then, something in the heavens catches his attention. It is a large cloud that takes on a familiar shape)
Littlefoot: Mother?
(He feels a gentle wind caress his face. It seems to be whispering to him)
Littlefoot's Mother: Littlefoot... (It is his mother's voice)
Littlefoot: I tried to do what you warned me, Mother. But it's just too hard. I can't hear my heart. I'll never find the Grand Valley. (The cloud vision begins to drift off) Mother! Wait, don't go!
(He chases after the cloud across the wide plain as the wind whispers around him. The sound seems to be rising and falling like a melody, and then suddenly, he hears singing. He wonders if he is imagining it, but no––there it is again, a high, sweet song carried along past the breeze. Below the cloud, he sees an opening into a beautiful green valley––the Grand Valley)
(His heart swelling with joy, Littlefoot starts to race down into the wonderful valley. But then, he hears his mother's voice again in the wind)
Littlefoot's Mother: Littlefoot...
(He skids to a stop. In his heart, he knows what his mother is going to warn him)
Littlefoot: The others...they went the wrong road! They'll never find the Grand Valley! (He looks up at the cloud. The image of his mother is fading) Mother! What have I done? (But he responds himself) My heart...my heart says...they're my friends! I have to help him!
(With that said, he turns and races out of the valley)
Petrie: Cera knows right fashion to go? Real sure?
Cera: Of course I do so.
Petrie: I afraid!
Cera: Well, I'm not afraid.
Petrie: I do wonder if Littlefoot lonesome?
Cera: I don't care if that long-neck is lonesome.
(Petrie is about to respond to her until a low-hanging branch knocks him right off Cera's head. He doesn't even have time to whistle before he finds himself in a sticky tar pit. He yells for Cera. But she has gone on, not realizing that he isn't with her anymore. He looks behind for Spike and Ducky, but they aren't there either. The more he attempts to get free of the tar, the deeper he sinks)
(In the meantime, Littlefoot is rushing through the dark eerie landscape. He can only see the light of the fire-rivers and the flames from the burning mountains)
(He cranes his neck this fashion and that and frantically calls out. All of a sudden, he stops in his tracks at the edge of a sharp cliff wall. A smoking mountain spewing a fire-river towers above him. And below are Ducky and Spike, trapped on a rock in a red glowing fire-river)
(He races down across the hot rocks toward them. The bit of rock on which they stand is swiftly falling apart. With his strong neck, he pushes a large rock into the fiery liquid next to Ducky and Spike's rock. It forms a bridge between them and solid ground. Ducky and Spike jump across to safety just as their rock disappears into the bubbling red river with a loud hiss)
(From somewhere up ahead, they hear a faint lament. It is Petrie. As they reach him, only his beak and frightened eyes show above the tar)
(The group swiftly decides on a plan of action. Littlefoot wraps his strong tail around a huge dead tree near the pit. He clamps his mouth down around Spike's tail, and Spike wades out to try to reach Petrie. But the little flier is just out of reach. Then Ducky runs along Littlefoot's back and then onto Spike's head. She can just reach Petrie. With one brief pull, she yanks him up and onto Spike's head)
(As three of them cheer, the dead tree snaps in two. Now they are all sinking into the gooey mess. Attempting to get free, they suddenly hear Cera shriek from somewhere nearby)
Cera: You get away! Stay away!
Littlefoot: Cera needs help!
Petrie: We all need help!
(Cera has found herself trapped in a dark cave, surrounded by four lizard heads. They circle her and hiss viciously. One of them lunges at her, but she bravely rears back and spits in his face)
Cera: Get away, you mean lizard-head! (But the lizard heads won't give up. Cera jumps around, hoping to make a break for the mouth of the cave, but the lizard heads are closing in fast. It looks like the end)
(A tremendous echoing roar comes from the mouth of the cave. As the lizard heads turn back in surprise, a huge ugly black beast towers over them. The beast roars again and lifts Cera by the tail, holding her upside down. The lizard heads don't wait to see what will happen next. But now, Cera has a new monster to face)
(She hangs there in terror. Oh, if only her friends are here. It is in that moment of danger that she realizes that they are her friends)
Cera: Help me! Spike! Ducky! Petrie!
(Then the big monster speaks)
Ducky: Cera! It's us!
(Cera twirls around upside down and sees the monster close up. It really is Littlefoot, Petrie, Ducky and Spike––––all stuck together with tar)
(At first she is relieved, but then she is mad. She has shown that she needs and wants them. And she doesn't want to do that. Her pride is yet controlling her heart)
Cera: I knew it was you all along!
(Littlefoot smirks at her)
Ducky: You did so? But you were shrieking so loud.
Cera: I was only acting. I wanted these scaly skins to come into the cave where I could attack them!
Ducky: No, no, no.
Cera: Oh, get out of my road! (But as she tries to stalk out of the cave, she sticks to the tar monster)
Ducky: We really together now!
Littlefoot: Yes, Cera. Now we have to stick together. (And the entire group laughs)
(That makes Cera madder than ever. Pulling herself free, she cries out in grand agony)
Cera: Oh, shut up. I hate all of you! I don't ever want to see any of you again, ever!
(With that said, she stomps out of the cave into the darkness. As she marches off, her eyes fill with tears. She really doesn't mean what she has said. It is just that her pride has been hurt. She looks around, half expecting them to come after her. But they don't, and her heart sinks a little)
(A heavy rain starts to fall, washing the tar off Littlefoot and the others)
Littlefoot: Let her go. If she doesn't want to come back, there's nothing we can do. (The others mournfully have to agree)
(The next morning Littlefoot, Ducky, Spike and Petrie head down the path toward the Grand Valley)
Littlefoot: We're almost there. Just a little farther.
Petrie: Too bad Cera not with us.
(As the group rounds a pool near the cliff face by the entrance to the valley, Petrie jumps off Littlefoot's head and climbs to a high, rocky ledge. Suddenly, he begins to quiver with fear)
Littlefoot: Petrie, what is this? (Then he looks beyond it. There, on the plain that overlooks the Grand Valley, is Sharptooth. He is searching for the entrance to the valley)
(Littlefoot realizes that they have led Sharptooth to the valley. He knows that the herds will be hopeless against the monster. He and his friends have to stop Sharptooth)
(Littlefoot notices a large boulder balanced at the edge of a rock ledge high above a pool of water)
Littlefoot: We have to get Sharptooth away from the high rocks before he finds the entrance. And then, we'll have to work together to murder him.
Petrie: How?
Littlefoot: We'll coax him to the deep end of the pond here. He can't swim with these scrawny arms. Spike and I will go up to that rock. We'll push it off onto his head. He'll fall over into the water.
Ducky: Oh, he will be mad, he will.
(Littlefoot turns to Petrie)
Littlefoot: Petrie, you be the lookout and whistle if he's in just the right spot. Where the water gets dark is the deepest part.
(Then he turns to Ducky)
Littlefoot: We need someone to be the bait.
Ducky: Me? Oh, dear...no, no, no!
(A short time later, Sharptooth finds the entrance to the Grand Valley. He growls and sniffs the air with evil joy. Just then, a noise behind him catches his attention. Roaring, he whips around and sees a little big mouth heading for a pool of water. She looks injured. He groans in satisfaction at the juicy little morsel just waiting to be eaten. He pounds after with a raging bellow)
(Ducky's heart is beating faster than it ever has before. She knows that Littlefoot and Spike are near the big rock, getting ready to push, and that Petrie is hidden in a crevice above, ready to warn them since. But that doesn't stop her legs from trembling. Behind her, Sharptooth is fast approaching)
Ducky: Faster, Ducky. Real fast, yes, yes, yes!
(She splashes into the pool and swiftly swims out to the center. Sharptooth follows close behind, sending up huge sprays of water. Ducky keeps on swimming until she is in the deepest part of the pool. Sharptooth closes in on her. Then a shrill whistle catches his attention. It is Petrie signaling)
(Up above, Littlefoot and Spike are frantically trying to push the rock over onto Sharptooth, but it won't budge. Now Sharptooth goes after Petrie. He claws at the rock wall, sending big chunks of rock splashing into the pool. Sharptooth's attack is weakening the ledge that Petrie is perched on. Suddenly, it gives room and he plunges down into Sharptooth's waiting jaws)
(The little flier flaps his wings in frantic fear, but he keeps falling. Just as he reaches Sharptooth's gnashing jaws, he suddenly feels himself rising. He is flying)
(Sharptooth roars in frustration at Petrie's escape and turns to go after Ducky once more. Petrie feels braver now that he can fly, and with a whistle of joy, he zooms down and pecks hard at Sharptooth's head. Sharptooth snaps his jaws and swipes frustratedly as Petrie circles and zooms down to peck at him again)
(Littlefoot shrieks from above)
Littlefoot: Get him over the deep part, Petrie! (But Sharptooth ignores Petrie and goes after Ducky again. As he opens his jaws for the murder, Ducky sees rows and rows of sharp teeth)
(Petrie sees what is going on and whistles in fury as he once more zooms at Sharptooth, landing on his head. He puts one wing over Sharptooth's nice eye and hangs on for dear life. Sharptooth reels around in frustration as he tries to get the maddening little creature off his face. He butts his head and rubs it along the rocks. Petrie looks up and sees that Sharptooth is right underneath the rock)
Petrie: Push rock now!
Ducky: Go, now!
(But Littlefoot and Spike yet can't push the rock over. Petrie is getting tired holding onto Sharptooth's face, and his wing falls apart from the monster's eye. Now that he can see what he is thinking, Sharptooth roars in rage and charges at the rock wall––and Petrie. As Petrie shrieks––––someone else does so, as well)
(From out of nowhere, Cera appears. As Littlefoot and Spike push with all their might, Cera lets out a loud, anguished shriek and charges at the rock. It goes toppling over and lands with a loud thud right on Sharptooth's head. With a tremendous splash, the beast sinks into the deep part of the pool and disappears. Littlefoot and his friends grin at each other in awe and satisfaction. They have done it––––but only as a team)
(Littlefoot's grin swiftly turns into a concerned look)
Littlefoot: Where's Petrie?
Ducky: Poor, poor Petrie.
Littlefoot: Petrie was a best friend. He would want us to continue...come. (And he leads the group, separate from the pool and toward the Grand Valley. Just then, they hear a cough and sigh and turn to see a soggy Petrie pulling himself onto the rocks)
Ducky: Petrie...you're safe! Yes, yes, yes.
(And at that moment everyone, even Cera, hugs each other in joy and friendship)
Littlefoot: Now, we'll always be together.
Petrie: How long?
Ducky: Forever!
Cera: Together.
Littlefoot: C'mon! We've waited long enough. Let's go to the Grand Valley.
(A short while later, they find themselves at the entrance to the valley. The view is so breathtaking that they stop and gasp in disbelief)
(Rich-looking trees are everywhere, bursting with so much green food that they look as if they may topple with the weight. Thick emerald grass covers the ground as far as the eye can see. And there are rivers and pools of fresh clear water. All the herds are there-----big-mouths, long-necks, three-horns––living side-by-side peacefully)
(As they watch, they hear a beautiful song coming from the valley. As the song grows louder, they rush into the valley, shouting with joy)
(It isn't long before they all find their families again, except for Spike. But he is swiftly adopted by Ducky's family until she explains that he is her friend forever, yes, siree. Cera, Littlefoot, Spike, Ducky and Petrie vow that there will be no differences between them ever again. They will teach the adults what they have learned)
(Later, as Littlefoot stands alone on top of a windy hill overlooking the valley, he gazes up at the heavens. For a moment, the clouds blow into a familiar shape and he seems to hear his mother's voice again)
Littlefoot's Mother: You have to follow your heart. Farewell, Littlefoot. Don't forget me.
Littlefoot: Farewell, Mother. I won't forget you. You will be in my heart forever!
(He looks out at the Grand Valley once more and then goes down the hill to join his family and friends. And as he does so, he can hear his heart singing)

Rabbit: Who said that?
Tigger: It's the narrator.
Laurie Main: For a bear of very little brain, he certainly finds quite a lot of emotion.
Pooh: Who, me? Oh, I'm just looking for some honey. Would you happen to need any honey?
Laurie Main: I'm sorry, Pooh, I don't. But I do have four classic stories in the Hundred Acre Wood with you and Tigger and Eeyore and Christopher Robin. You're all so much fun.
Roo: Hooray!
Rabbit: Exactly!
Pooh: Well, actually, Mr. Narrator, I'm rather hungry. I do almost anything to fill my tummy.
Laurie Main: Sounds familiar, Pooh. Did you forget in "Winnie the Pooh and the Honey Tree", you take to the air if your old honey pot is bare?
Pooh: I shall fly like a bee, up to the honey tree. You see?
Laurie Main: Then it's a windy day in the Hundred Acre Wood in the Academy Award-winning "Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day".

Christopher Robin: You are a hero!
Laurie Main: And do you remember "Winnie the Pooh and Tigger Too"?
Tigger: Hello, Pooh! Rrrrow!
Pooh: Think, think, think, what is that song that Tiggers always sing?
Tigger: (singing) The wonderful facts about tiggers, is tiggers are wonderful facts! Their tops are made out of rubber, their bottoms are made out of springs! They're bouncy, trouncy, flouncy, pouncy. Fun, fun, fun, fun, fun! But the most wonderful fact about tiggers is I'm the only one!
Pooh: Oh, yes, that was the time we all tried to take the bounce out of Tigger.
Tigger: Oh, don't be ridiculous.
Pooh: It didn't work out very well.
Tigger: Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!
Pooh: That is, not as well as Eeyore's birthday festival.
Laurie Main: That's right. In "Winnie the Pooh and a Day for Eeyore", Eeyore thinks everyone's forgotten his birthday.
Eeyore: Nobody cares.
Laurie Main: But you and your friends proved him wrong with a surprise feast.
Owl: Oh, this is so emotional!
Laurie Main: I wish children of all ages would really have fun sharing these adventures with you, Pooh, and all your friends from the Hundred Acre Wood.
