The Land Before Time/YMMV: Difference between revisions

* [[Everyone Is Jesus in Purgatory]]: Almost literally in a particularly horrifying interpretation of the film. <ref> The earthquake near the beginning was a result of the Cretaceous–Tertiary extinction event, AKA the extinction of the dinosaurs. Meaning everyone was [[Dead All Along]]. The film is their journey through purgatory towards heaven, represented by the Great Valley. The dinosaur that comforts Littlefoot directly after his mother's death is an angel trying to get him to overcome his anger over his mother's death, for which he blames both her and (secretly) himself. The lava field is where Cera overcomes her sin of excessive pride, and where the rest of the group learns that there are no "shortcuts" to heaven, and that they must go on the path set for them, and have faith in it, or they'll never get there. The sharptooth is representative of the kids' fear of their own mortality, and by killing him, they have finally let go of all of their earthly attachments, aside from Littlefoot, who still has guilt for the death of his mother. When he finally accepts her death, he finds the Great Valley, along with everyone else, where the rest of their families are waiting for them in the afterlife.</ref>[[Despair Event Horizon|Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm off to hang myself]].

** <ref> So his mother went to hell?</ref>

** Additionally, ask people what gender Littlefoot is and you'll be surprised at how the answer varies. They drew girl eyelashes on Littlefoot. It doesn't help ''at all''.

** Ducky has to be the most obvious example; she can come off as a very expressive boy rather than a [[Tomboy|Tomboyish]] [[Genki Girl]].

** It's actually ''possible'' that Cera was going the right way seeing as Littlefoot's mother said they had to go through "mountains that burn".

*** It appears that the Littlefoot and Cera got turned around during their fight. The scene starts with Littlefoot pep-talking the group up a mountain, suggesting the Great Valley may be on the other side. Finding a barren wasteland valley at the top, Cera decides she's had enough and starts back down, prefering the easy way. Littlefoot stops her, she insults his mom, fight ensues and they roll down the mountain into the valley. After the fight Cera storms off down the valley, while Littlefoot starts climbing back up the mountain they just crossed.

* [[Harsher in Hindsight]]: ''Journey into the Mists'' has Grandpa Longneck suffering from a terminal illness, which results in Littlefoot and the others going into the Valley of the Mists beyond the Great Valley in order to find the proper cure for his ailament. Grandpa Longneck was played by [[Kenneth Mars]], who later died from Prostate Cancer in 2011.

* [[The Scrappy]]: Again, it varies from person to person. But in particular, the Yellow Bellies from the final movie, ''The Wisdom of Friends,'' are widely hated.

* [[They Just Didn't Care]]: If you hadn't gotten the hint from the earlier sequels, then ''[[A Worldwide Punomenon|Invasion of the Tiny-Sauruses]]'' will tell you so.
