The Land Before Time XIV: Journey of the Brave (2016)

## Plot

Littlefoot, a young Apatosaurus living in the verdant Great Valley, is eagerly awaiting the arrival of his father Bron, who returns to the valley with his herd once a year. However, he soon learns from a Nothronychus member of Bron's troupe named Wild Arms that his father became stranded in the wilderness when a huge volcano erupted, leaving the rest of the herd to go on without Bron. Littlefoot and his grandparents ask Wild Arms for help, but he belligerently says no. The other grown-ups agree. After worrying about his father, Littlefoot sets out alone. However, Littlefoot's friends soon catch up with him. The gang did fine at first, but run into the earth divide. It is suggested that they follow the Long Valley instead, but Littlefoot says that that will take too long, and that they must cross there. Luckily, they are able to knock down a tree, and get across.

After two close encounters with a duo of Yutyrannus, night falls and the children go to sleep. Meanwhile, the elder dinosaurs learn about their children's journey, and decide to go after them with two children - Chomper and Ruby. They attempt to have Wild Arms guide them back to where Bron was last seen, but he faints at the mere sight of Chomper, a Tyrannosaurus, and has to be carried, leaving Chomper to lead the way with his nose. The next morning, and a disagreement between Littlefoot and Cera on which path to take causes Littlefoot to decide to go ahead alone. A sand cloud (sandstorm) suddenly occurs, and Littlefoot is trapped in a cave, where he meets a Pteranodon named Etta, who knows his father. Meanwhile, Cera, Ducky, and Spike lose Petrie, who comes across a tribe of diggers (Oryctodromeus). They soon find him, and they soon leave the diggers, who elect themselves a new leader.

Meanwhile, Etta tells Littlefoot what happened to Bron, and that he may well be dead. She also says that it was because Bron had rescued Wild Arms that he got into that mess. After many failed attempts to dig their way out of the cave, Littlefoot and Etta head deeper into the cave itself, and Etta sings a song to lead him on his way. Meanwhile, Littlefoot's friends run into a Carnotaurus, though Etta is able to poke a hole through the cave ceiling and help them get away. Etta eventually leads Littlefoot and his friends out of the cave, and to the volcano where they find Bron. It looks hopeless as he is surrounded by lava, and Bron tells them to go so they do not get hurt, but Littlefoot refuses.

Meanwhile, the grown-ups, Chomper, and Ruby come across the Carnotaurus. Chomper smells it and the group are able to hide from it, but they are nearly discovered due to Wild Arms cowering in fear and making noise. Just before the sharptooth discovers the group, it is distracted by a flock of Archaeornithomimus. Back at the volcano, Etta and the kids spring into action to save Bron. They are able to halt the lava by sending water onto it, and use a tree to free Bron, though the lava returns and Littlefoot and his father are trapped on the other side. Bron scoops Littlefoot up and jumps over the lava, and right after, the adults, Chomper, and Ruby, find them. Reunited with Bron and the rest of the herd led by Chomper, the group extol the virtues of working together, and finding bravery through companionship.
