Tusker (Littlefoot), a young elephant, is orphaned after his mother (Ma Tembo; Littlefoot's Mother) perishes while protecting him from a vicious carnivore (Portrayed by Rogue Lion). With her last breath, she tells him how to get to the legendary Great Valley, where he will be reunited with others of his kind. With his friend Tatu (Cera), Tusker sets out for the fabled land, meeting a variety of new friends along the way -- while also being tracked by the killer lion that mortally wounded his mother.
