The Land Before Time: The Great Valley Adventure

*Details about the film coming soon!*

## Plot

Littlefoot, Cera, Ducky, Petrie and Spike live a carefree life in the Great Valley under their families' watchful eyes. One day, the gang attempts to get to the sheltering grass to play, but land in the sinking sand surrounding it. The adults rescue and chastise them for their recklessness. However, a meteorite impacts near the Great Valley, which causes a drought to threaten the dinosaurs' lives. The increasing lack of water causes conflicts between the inhabitants of the Great Valley, who have previously lived in relative peace and harmony. When the inter-species situation deteriorates, Littlefoot and his friends decide to prove their bravery and maturity by venturing into the Mysterious Beyond (a location outside the Valley which is inhabited by Sharpteeth) to find water and keep the peace in the valley.

Before they leave, they notice two egg stealers named Ozzy and Strut stealing an egg from the nest of Ducky's mother. The children pursue the intruders into the Mysterious Beyond. An ensuing landslide damages the Great Wall that surrounds the Valley and protects it from the Sharpteeth, and the stolen egg rolls safely back to the nest, but the group do not notice this in the confusion. While searching for water, the group discover a large egg and mistake it for Ducky's egg. The gang decide to take the egg on the go and hatch it on the way. However, it turns out not to be Ducky's egg. Realizing their mistake, the gang does not know it's from another nest. The egg eventually hatches, revealing a baby Sharptooth. Although Littlefoot's friends are frightened off, Littlefoot quickly realizes that the baby Sharptooth is not yet dangerous, and decides to raise the newly-christened "Chomper" as his parent.

This task proves difficult as Chomper isn't a herbivore, and Littlefoot has no experience raising a child. Ozzy and Strut appear to have exact revenge on the group for foiling their earlier theft, but are driven away by Chomper's enlarged shadow, which they mistake for that of an adult Sharptooth. The rest of the gang meet Chomper and they accept him as part of the group. When Littlefoot, Chomper, and the others find a small lake, a trio of arrogant teenage dinosaurs emerge and claim the waterhole for themselves, demanding that Littlefoot and the others keep silent about their discovery. Unwilling to comply, Littlefoot and the others try to fight off the bullies. During the battle, the bullies are chased away by a wasp, Chomper hungrily bites Cera by instinct, and Littlefoot discovers the reason behind the blockage of the water source.

After Chomper runs away in tears, realizing his mistake way too soon, and before the group can return and tell the other inhabitants the truth, lightning hits a tree and ignites a fire that spreads rapidly throughout the valley. The fire then devastates the valley destroying most of the green food in the process. The dinosaurs barely make it to safety at the edge of the Mysterious Beyond. When the children tell the adults of their discovery, disagreements about what to do erupts among the adults, preventing them from doing anything to utilize this knowledge. Hyp, Nod, and Mutt set out into the Mysterious Beyond on their own to get the water first.

Anticipating the danger Hyp and his cohorts have gotten into and recognizing commonality with them, Littlefoot and the others follow to help if necessary. It becomes so when Hyp jumps into a tar pit after mistaking it for water. He screams for help, but Mutt and Nod do not save him. Instead, they argue about which one of them must save him. Littlefoot cuts in, and tells Mutt and Nod that Hyp is stuck in the tar pit. He then hatches a plan to pull Hyp out of the tar and they succeed. Soon after, the adults arrive, and Hyp is harshly scolded by his aggressive and grumpy father, leading Cera's dad to realize that he is too hard on Cera sometimes and that they need to work together to find the water.

Littlefoot runs away to find Chomper so that he could help the inhabitants find water, However, his path leads him to a smoking mountain, where Ozzy and Strut attempt to attack him, but are stopped when the mountain's eruption sends them plummeting down a canyon. After Littlefoot escapes and finds Chomper, they are chased and cornered by two Sharpteeth. Chomper roars at them, and soon they recognize him as their son and leave with him. Because of this, Littlefoot slowly becomes heartbroken.

Before the inhabitants of the Great Valley are able to take further steps in trying to get the water back, they are attacked by a pack of velociraptors. The pursuit leads them to a dam of boulders created by a rock slide that caused the drought. As the adults and velociraptors battle, Chomper hears Littlefoot screaming and leads his parents to Littlefoot's location. Chomper's parents rescue Chomper from an attempted intervention, and inadvertently do the same for Littlefoot by chasing Ozzy and Strut (who were planning to kidnap and full-on kill him) back into the Mysterious Beyond. Meanwhile, Littlefoot's friends, as well as Hyp and his cronies, work together to break the dam and watch as the water washes away the velociraptors and puts out the fires which are still burning in the valley.

After managing to survive and land on the opposite side of the bank, Littlefoot bids Chomper farewell as he follows his parents to the Mysterious Beyond. The herd returns to the Great Valley, which now has enough water for them. However, when they return home, they realize that the fire destroyed most of their green food. The now devastated plants in the valley are beyond repair from the fire. However, despite being irreparable, the dinosaurs find spots in the Great Valley where green food still grows. They proportionately move from one verdant area to another and share everything they find. This pattern results in the event being called the Time of the Great Giving. Following the event, Littlefoot tells his grandparents that being young is not so bad after all, but decides that he still looks forward to growing up.
