The Land Before Time

***The Land Before Time*** is an American animated television series, based on *The Land Before Time* film series created by Judy Freudberg and Tony Geiss. It was developed for television by Ford Riley for Cartoon Network and was produced by Universal Animation Studios and Amblin Entertainment (Amblin Entertainment produced the first film with Sullivan Bluth Studios), and animated by Toon City in the Philippines. It premiered on YTV in Canada for a test on January 5, 2007 and premiered on Cartoon Network in the United States on March 5, 2007.

It was made as traditionally animated with CGI backgrounds, which the past sequels from *The Land Before Time X: The Great Longneck Migration* onwards have used, with occasional cel-shaded computer animated characters in wide shots. The main antagonists in the series are Red Claw, an evil villainous *Tyrannosaurus*, and Screech and Thud, two henchmen *Deinonychus*. The TV series takes place after the events of *The Land Before Time XIII: The Wisdom of Friends*, due to Chomper and Ruby being absent in that film.
