The Land Before Time Quotes

Topps Come, Cera. Three-horns never play with Longnecks.

Littlefoot's Mother Littlefoot!

Cera Three-horns never play with Longnecks!

Narrator Once, upon this same Earth, beneath this same sun, long before you, before the ape and the elephant, as well, before the wolf, the bison, the whale, before the mammoth and the mastodon... was the Time of the Dinosaurs.

Triceratops Come on!

Narrator Now, the dinosaurs were of 2 kinds: some had flat teeth and ate the leaves of trees, and some had sharp teeth for eating meat, and they preyed upon the Leaf-Eaters. Then, it happened that the leaves began to die. The mighty beasts who appeared to rule Earth were ruled, in truth, by the leaf. Desperate for food, some dinosaur herds stuck out toward the west, searching for their Great Valley, a land still lush and green. It was a journey toward life. It was a march of many dangers. Sharpteeth stalked the herds, waiting to seize any who strayed. The Leaf-Eaters stopped only to hatch their young.

Littlefoot Oh, you can't quit now. What if the Great Valley's just over the top of these rocks?

Narrator Though they were sore-stumped and tired, Littlefoot urged them on. He'd never seen the Great Valley, but his heart told him they were close. Surely, at the top, they'd behold it finally...

Cera THIS IS YOUR GREAT VALLEY?! You're CRAZY! I'm. Leaving.

Littlefoot Cera, we have to keep following the Bright Circle!

Cera I'm taking the easy way for once.

Littlefoot But it's the WRONG WAY.

Cera Who says?

Littlefoot My mother.

Cera Then, she was just a stupid Longneck, too.

Littlefoot TAKE THAT BACK!

Cera NEVER!

Littlefoot TAKE IT BACK!

Cera NO!!!

Littlefoot A tree star.

Taglines It is the dawn of time. The land of the dinosaur. Lost and alone, Littlefoot and his friends are about to embark on the journey of a lifetime.

Rooter Hey! What's going on here? What's your problem? You are not hurt.

Littlefoot It's not fair! She should have known better. That was a Sharptooth. It's all her fault.

Rooter All whose fault?

Littlefoot Mother's.

Rooter Oh. I see. I see.

Littlefoot Why did I wander so far from home?

Rooter Oh, it's not your fault. It's not your mother's fault. Now you pay close attention to Old Rooter.

Littlefoot Yes... but...

Rooter It is nobody's fault. The Great Circle of Life has begun. But you see, not all of us arrive together at the end.

Littlefoot What'll I do? I miss her so much.

Rooter And you'll always miss her, but she'll always be with you, as long as you remember the things she taught you. In a way, you'll never be apart, for you are still a part of each other.

Littlefoot My tummy hurts.

Rooter Well that too will go in time, Little Mate. Only in time.

Petrie You've got a nice flat head, Flathead.

Littlefoot The name isn't Flathead. The name is LIT-TLE-FOOT!

Petrie Littlefoot?

Littlefoot Are you just gonna stay up there?

Petrie Yes.

Littlefoot Well, you can't! You are tearing my treestar!

Ducky It's very special; very! his mother gave it to him. She did.

Petrie Ooh. Mother present. Very important. I stay here, keep safe. Not let nobodies touch!

Ducky Yeah, Petrie! You keep it safe! Yep, yep, yep!

Littlefoot Nope, nope, nope. I'm not a carrier. So get off! You are a flyer! Now start flying!

Littlefoot Mother! Mother! Mother, where are you? Mother! Please, get up.

Littlefoot's Mother I'm not sure, I can, Littlefoot.

Littlefoot Yes, you can. Get up.

Littlefoot's Mother Dear, sweet Littlefoot, do you remember the way to the Great Valley?

Littlefoot I guess so, but, why do I have to know? You're going to be with me.

Littlefoot's Mother I'll be with you, even if you can't see me.

Littlefoot What do you mean if I can't see you? I can always see you.

Littlefoot's Mother Littlefoot, let your heart guide you. It whispers. So, listen closely...

Littlefoot Mother? Mother?

Littlefoot Come on, Cera, Sharptooth is dead. He fell down into the big underground.

Cera And that's where he met me.

Ducky Oh. Dear brave, Cera.

Petrie Dear brave, Cera.

Cera Yes, I am brave.

Littlefoot Sharptooth is dead!

Cera My father told me that flatheads had very small brains.

Littlefoot Come on, Cera! We got green food.

Cera I can get my OWN green food! You see, I can take care of myself; all by myself. I'm not afraid to be alone, I know my way to go, AND...I'm not afraid of the Sharptooth... I hope that he doesn't eat any of you!

Cera Littlefoot! Come on, I'll race ya!

Narrator And they all grew up together in the Valley. Generation upon generation, each passing on to the next, the tale of their ancestors journey to the Valley, long ago.

Littlefoot's Mother Littlefoot...

Littlefoot Mother!

Littlefoot's Mother Littlefoot...?

Littlefoot I have tried to do what you told me. But it is just too heard. Great. Now, I am never going to find the Great Valley. Mother...? Mother...? DON'T GO, MOTHER! DON'T GO!

Littlefoot The Great Valley! Cera, Spike, Ducky, Petrie! Over here!

Cera Littlefoot! You found it!

Ducky Yep, yep, yep!

Littlefoot When will we get there?

Littlefoot's Mother The Bright Circle will pass over us many times, and we must follow it each day until it touches the ground.

Littlefoot Have you ever seen the Great Valley?

Littlefoot's Mother No.

Littlefoot Well, then, how do you know it's really there?

Littlefoot's Mother Some things you see with your eyes, others you see with your heart.

Littlefoot Oh, I can't understand, Mother.

Littlefoot's Mother You will, my son. You will.

Littlefoot Let's get rid of him once and for all.

Ducky What will we do?

Littlefoot Look, we'll coax him to the deep end of the pond. He can't swim with those scrawny arms. Me and Spike will go up and push that big rock on top of his head, and then he'll fall off into the water.
