The Land Before Time/Trivia: Difference between revisions

{{work}}

'''Original film''':

** Other things were also changed. The scene where Sharptooth lands on the back of Littlefoot's mother was originally fully visible, but it was changed to shadow. The scene where Sharptooth is pushed under by the big rock had a scene where Sharptooth was seen looking up to the water, but it was also deemed too scary.

** Old Rooter didn't appear in the original draft of the film; he was added to soften the blow of the death of Littlefoot's mother.

* Sadly, the young actress who played Ducky in the original film (and she also played Anne-Marie in ''[[All Dogs Go to Heaven]]'') was murdered along with her mother by her stepfather a few months before this movie was released in theaters.

 

*** Well, that one depends on your POV,really.

*** They were never explicitly stated to be velociraptors, and if their relative size is any indication, they were actually most likely Deinonychus, which at least would have lived in the same continent as some of the other ones. The assumption that they were velociraptors comes from the [[Critical Research Failure]] of [[Jurassic Park]], which called a dromaeosaurid the height of a man a velociraptor. Velociraptors were actually only about 50-65 centimeters tall.

**** What ''don't'' we have a trope for?

** The sequels also have a tendency to destroy whatever was scientifically plausible in the first movie. Petrie in [[Don Bluth]]'s movie spend at least most of the time in a quadrupedal pose like pterosaurs are supposed to, while in the sequels all "fliers" are basically standing on two (which, couple with their bare necks and the "collars" in the base of the necks, made them look like stupid vultures).

** In the earlier sequels, any large predatory dinosaur would look almost exactly like Sharptooth, even if it's not a Tyrannosaurus. The [http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20080729091637/landbeforetime/images/6/6f/Giganotosaurust_2.jpg Giganotosaurus] in ''The Mysterious Island'' looks like Chomper's parents except green and with stripes, and the [http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20091225052238/landbeforetime/images/0/0e/LBT_Allosaurus.png Allosaurus] in ''Secret of Saurus Rock'' is a Tyrannosaurus who likes to lean over (at least they got the horizontal body position right). The later sequels finally managed to make the carnivorous dinosaurs look different and even pretty realistic: the [http://landbeforetime.wikia.com/wiki/Spinosaurus Spinosaurus] in film XII and the [http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20081110083712/landbeforetime/images/b/bb/Pliosaur_9.png Liopleurodon] from film IX especially. But on another note, nearly all of the Sharpteeth are shown with two fingers, even ones who possessed three in [[Real Life]].

* [[Executive Meddling]]: The film was originally [[Darker and Edgier]], but many scenes were deleted because they were [[Animation Age Ghetto|"too scary for kids"]]. This explains the film's very short running time.

** For the original, [[Newsies Spot|Conlon]] leads Cera,[[All Dogs Go to Heaven|Ann-Marie]],and [[An American Tail|Digit]] to the Great Valley

** [[Recess|Cornchip Girl]] is Ducky

** Grandpa Longneck is [[The Little Mermaid|King Triton]]!

** Little Foot was voiced by [[Minami Takayama]] from the second film to the twelveth, whe she was [[The Other Darrin|replaced]] by [[Etsuko Kozakura]].

** [[Maaya Sakamoto]] did her voice acting debut when she was a kid (and NOT in [[Vision of Escaflowne|Escaflowne like many people thinks]], since it was her break-out role there) as Cera from the first movie to the fourth film, when she was later replaced by [[Rica Matsumoto]] from the fifth film upwards.

** Chomper [[Ikue Ohtani|is]] [[Pokémon|Pikachu]] and [[One Piece|Tony Tony Chopper]]

** Petrie [[Yuji Mitsuya|is]] [[Combattler V|Hyoma Aoi]] and [[Dragonball Z|Kaioh-shin]] and [[Urara Takano|his mom is]] [[Sakura Wars|Maria Tachibana.]]

** Topsy [[Joji Nakata|is]] [[Hellsing|Alucard]]

** Strut [[Hideyuki Umezu|is]] [[Mobile Suit Gundam 00|Ian Vashti]] and [[Super Robot Wars Original Generation|Vindel Mauser]] (And just like his original English voice actor, he also voiced [[Pinky and The Brain|Pinky]] in Japanese too)

** In Mexico, Littlefoot is [[Sonic Sat AM|Princess Sally]].

* [[Talking to Himself]]: Not only did John Ingle provide the voice of Cera's father in the sequels and the TV series, but he also narrated some of the sequels, too!
