The African Land During Time III: The Time of the Great Giving (GavenLovesAnimals and Squidward's Version)

GavenLovesAnimals and Squidward's movie-spoofs of Universal's 1995 Animated Sequel film The Land Before Time III: The Time of the Great Giving.

## Plot:

A meteorite impacts near Pride Lands, which causes a drought to threaten the animals' lives. The increasing lack of water causes conflicts between the inhabitants of Pride Lands, who have previously lived in relative peace and harmony. When the inter-species situation deteriorates, Mtoto and the others set out to find water to keep the peace in the valley. They are pursued by a trio of arrogant teenage African animals consisting of Mnyanyasaji the *Honey Badger*, Mtukutu the *Chacma Baboon*, and Mbaya the *Giant Forest Hog*. When Mtoto and the others find a small lake, the trio emerges and claims the waterhole for themselves, demanding that Mtoto and the others keep silent about their discovery. Unwilling to comply, Mtoto and the others flee from the bullies. During the pursuit, the bullies are chased away by a wasp, and the children discover the reason behind the blockage of the water source.

Before they 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. The animals barely make it to safety at the edge of 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. Mnyanyasaji, Mtukutu, and Mbaya set out into Mysterious Beyond on their own to get to the water first. Anticipating the danger Mnyanyasaji and his cohorts have gotten into and recognizing commonality with them, Mtoto and the others follow to help if necessary. It becomes so when Mnyanyasaji jumps into a tar pit after mistaking it for water. He screams for help, but Mtukutu and Mbaya do not save him. Instead, they argue about which one of them must save him. But Mtoto cuts in, and tells Mtukutu and Mbaya that Mnyanyasaji is stuck in the tar pit. Then, he hatches a plan to pull Mnyanyasaji out. Finally, Mtoto and the others pull him out of the tar. Soon afterwards, the adults arrive, and Mnyanyasaji is harshly scolded by his aggressive and grumpy father, leading Penelope's dad to realize that he is too hard on Penelope sometimes and that they need to work together to find the water.

Before they are able to take further steps, the herd is suddenly attacked by a clan of *Spotted hyenas*. The pursuit leads to a dam of boulders created by the rock slide that caused the drought. As the *Spotted hyenas* and the adults battle, the children, including Mnyanyasaji and his cronies, work together to break the dam. They all watch as the freed water washes away the *Spotted hyenas*. The water also puts out the fires which are still burning in the valley. Finally, they manage to survive and land on the opposite bank. Now the herd is able to return to Pride Lands. The herd returns to Pride Lands, which now has enough water for them. However, when they return home, the fire has destroyed most of their green food. The now devastated plants in the valley are beyond repair from the fire. However, despite being irreparable, the animals find the spots in Pride Lands 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.
