The Land Before Time III: The Time of the Great Giving


 * ''[first lines]
 * Narrator: A long time ago, at least 3,500 million years ago, the earliest form of life, made its first appearance on earth. These single-celled creatures developed and grew, and changed a million times over.
 * ''[the fish swims, then swimming up, looking at the water]
 * Narrator: Until at last, there was a creature able to leave the sea, and to crawl out into an unknown world.
 * ''[the creature gets out of the water, sniffing, then he continues walking, then diving in]
 * Narrator: From this small, fish-like creature, came hundreds of other animals.
 * ''[they all run by]
 * Narrator: The mightiest of which was called, the dinosaur!
 * ''[they dinosaur growls, then they walk by]
 * Narrator: For most of the earth's dinosaurs, life was filled with danger. But for the fortunate leaf-eating dinosaurs of the Great Valley, life was peaceful, and food plentiful. The Great Valley was the perfect place for children, like Littlefoot, the long neck, Cera, the three-horn, Ducky, the swimmer, Petrie, the flyer, and Spike, the spike-tail, to grow and learn and play.
 * Littlefoot: I got it!
 * Petrie: Now me got it! [tries to kick a rock]
 * Ducky: Go, Spike!
 * ''[Spike and Ducky land on a rock]
 * Ducky: Did you get it, Spike? Did you, huh?
 * ''[Spike gets up]
 * Ducky: [repeated line, giggling] Yep, yep, yep! You got it!
 * Cera: I found another one! I found another one! [laughing]
 * ''[Littlefoot runs to get the rock, then Mutt stops it with his foot, then looking at Hyp, Nod, and Mutt]
 * Littlefoot: Hi, Hyp. Can we have our rock back, please?
 * Hyp: Your rock? Who said it was your rock?
 * Nod: Yeah, who said it was your rock, huh? Who said? Who said?
 * Mutt: Oh! Ah, yeah!
 * Littlefoot: Well, gee, no one. We were just playing with it.
 * Cera: So give it back, Hyp.
 * Hyp: But I didn't hear you say please!
 * Cera: That's because I didn't! [growls at Hyp, then they growl]
 * Littlefoot: Hey, maybe we can all play together!
 * Petrie: Good idea, Littlefoot. We all play!
 * Ducky: [repeated line] Yep, yep, yep. The more the "betterer"!
 * ''[Spike nods]
 * Hyp: What do you think, guys? Want to play with these babies?
 * Cera: Babies? Who's he calling babies?
 * Ducky: Us?
 * Petrie: Hmph! Me no baby! [inhales] Me big!
 * Hyp: Yeah, a big baby!
 * Petrie: [exhales, then they all laugh] Me no like them.
 * Cera: Me neither. I'll show 'em!
 * Littlefoot: Cera!
 * Cera: I'm busy. [run in a bush by Hyp, Nod, and Mutt]
 * Mutt: Nyah! Nyah!
 * Hyp: Try and get us! Yeah, yeah, try!
 * ''[Cera walks by Hyp, Nod, and Mutt, then they hear a rumble]
 * Mutt: Whoa! What's that? It's a-a-a...
 * Cera: "Earthshake"! [screaming]
 * Petrie: Rocks fly?
 * Hyp: Flying rocks! [screaming]
 * ''[the fire comets continue falling down, explosion, then they all scream, then they run away, with a rock falling down]
 * Cera: Daddy!
 * Ducky: Mama!
 * Littlefoot: Grandma! Grandpa!
 * ''[the rocks continue falling down]
 * Mother Quezalcoatlus: Fly, children! Fly!
 * ''[they all fly away]
 * Iguanadon: Run!
 * Grandma: Littlefoot!
 * ''[Littlefoot pants, then they all gasp]
 * Grandpa: Look out!
 * ''[the tree lands]
 * Grandma: Littlefoot!
 * Littlefoot: I'm in here, Grandma.
 * Grandma: [to Littlefoot] Are you all right, little one?
 * Grandpa: Would you like to come out now?
 * Littlefoot: Gee, that wasn't a regular kinda "earthshake," was it?
 * Grandpa: No, Littlefoot, it wasn't.
 * Littlefoot: Then what kind was it?
 * Grandma: We don't know, Littlefoot. Perhaps it had to do with those great rocks falling from the sky.
 * Littlefoot" Oh, yeah! I saw 'em! And I saw that big one land somewhere in the Mysterious Beyond. I sure wish we could go find it.
 * Grandpa: Yes, that would be an adventure, now wouldn't it?
 * Grandma: Well, I think we've had enough adventure for one day. Come. It's time to settle down for the night. [walks away]
 * Littlefoot: It's beautiful, isn't it, Grandpa?
 * Grandpa: Oh, yes, Littlefoot, beautiful and mysterious, as is so much in our world. Well, at least the danger has passed.
 * ''[cut to the dinosaurs by the water, with Littlefoot walking by in the water, looking at the fish, swimming away, laughing]
 * Ducky's Mom: What? Look, everyone! Where did the water go?
 * Stegosaurus: It stopped flowing!
 * Male Dinosaur 1: How can that be?
 * Male Dinosaur 2: What will we do without water?
 * Littlefoot: Grandpa, why did the Thundering Falls stop?
 * Grandpa: I don't know, Littlefoot. I don't know.
 * Grandma: Littlefoot, go and play. Grandpa and I must talk with the other grown-ups.
 * Littlefoot: Sure, Grandma. [walks away] See ya later, Grandpa.
 * Male Dinosaur 3: This has never happened before!
 * ''[they all chatter]
 * Littlefoot: Hey, guys!
 * ''[Ducky gets in the hole]
 * Littlefoot: Guess what happened to the Thundering Falls.
 * Ducky: Shh! We are trying to find Cera. She has "hided" from us.
 * Littlefoot: But...
 * Petrie: Uh! Me no find Cera anywhere!
 * Littlefoot: Guess what, Petrie?
 * Petrie: What? You no find Cera either?
 * Ducky: Cera is a very good hider. She is!
 * Cera: [peeks out] Boo!
 * ''[they both gasp, then Ducky falls down, then Petrie flies away]
 * Cera: I scared you! I scared you! I did!
 * Petrie: You no scared me, Cera. Me "unscare-able."
 * Littlefoot: Petrie? You're hurting my nose.
 * Petrie: Oh, sorry. Me no know my own strength. [flies off of Littlefoot]
 * Cera: Now who's going to hide? Littlefoot?
 * Littlefoot: Okay, but first I wanna tell you something.
 * Cera: Well, hurry it up! We wanna play!
 * Littlefoot: I saw...
 * ''[Spike walks away]
 * Littlefoot: Hey!
 * Ducky: [giggling] Spike is taking your turn for you, Littlefoot.
 * ''[they all laugh, then Spike continues walking, eating grass]
 * Ducky: [laughing, pointing at Spike] My brother is not a very good hider. Oh, no!
 * Cera: Now just what were going to say, Littlefoot?
 * Littlefoot: It's the Thundering Falls. It's not giving us any water. You gotta come see.
 * ''[they all walk down]
 * Hyp: Why don't you hatchlings go run and see.
 * Nod: Yeah, run and see. Run and see!
 * ''[Hyp grins at Mutt]
 * Mutt: Oh. Bah, yeah!
 * Cera: Try and make us!
 * Ducky: No, Cera, no!
 * Cera: Oh, don't worry. I won't hurt 'em much! [sticks tongue out, then Nod sticks tongue out]
 * Hyp: Put those away.
 * Littlefoot: How come all you ever wanna do is fight, Hyp?
 * Petrie: Yeah! Fight! [the rock fights Petrie, then falling down on Littlefoot] Ow! Fighting hurt.
 * Mutt: Yeah, it does give ya "ow-ees," Hyp. Why do we do it?
 * Hyp: Why? Why? Because we're bigger. And bigger is smarter! Bigger is meaner! And bigger is better!
 * ''["When You're Big" begins]
 * Hyp: [singing] When you're big, you can push all the little ones around. They're lookin' up while you are looking down. You can snap a tree in two like it was just a twig. Things are better when you're big.
 * All: [singing] When you're big.
 * Hyp: [singing] You can do anything you want to do.
 * Mutt: [singing] Wah-oh.
 * Hyp: [singing] All the rules that grownups make, they don't apply to you.
 * Both: [singing] Not to you.
 * Hyp: [singing] You can splash in all the puddles, gulp, slurp, and swig.
 * Both: [singing] Oh, wah.
 * Hyp: [singing] The world is better when you're big.
 * Both: [singing] Glug, glug, glug.
 * Hyp: [singing] You can snort.
 * Both: [singing] You can snort.
 * Hyp: [singing] You can growl.
 * Both: [singing] You can growl.
 * Hyp: [singing] You can stomp.
 * Both: [singing] You can stomp.
 * Hyp: [singing] You can howl.
 * Both: [singing] You can howl.
 * Hyp: [singing] You can bonk someone smaller on the head.
 * Both: [singing] On the head. [scat]
 * Hyp: [singing] You can take what you want, play all day in the swamp. And you never ever have to go to bed.
 * All: [singing] When you're big.
 * Hyp: [singing] You can step on little people's toes.
 * Both: [singing] Oh, wah.
 * Hyp: [singing]' Munch on their lunch.
 * Nod: [singing] Lunch.
 * Hyp: [singing] And bop them in the nose.
 * Both: [singing] Oh, yeah.
 * Hyp: [singing] Threehorns, and longnecks, and duck feet, too.
 * Both: [singing] Duck feet, too.
 * Hyp: [singing] They all have to do anything you want them to.
 * Both: [singing] You want them to.
 * Hyp: [singing] And if they don't, you can plop them...
 * All: [singing] ...in the goo!
 * Hyp: [singing] Don't you forget.
 * ''[Mutt growls at Littlefoot]
 * Hyp: [singing] What you want, you get.
 * ''[Nod growls at Cera]
 * Hyp: [singing] Things are better when you're big.
 * Both: [singing] Sha la la la la la la la la la la la la.
 * Hyp: [singing] When you're big.
 * Both: [singing] Sha la la la la la la la la la la la la.
 * Hyp: [singing] When you're big.
 * Both: [singing] Sha la la la la la la la la la la la la.
 * Hyp: [singing] When you're big!
 * Littlefoot: But, Hyp, when you're all grown up, you won't be very big at all.
 * Cera: Yeah, your kind never gets very big. When we grow up, we'll be much bigger!
 * Ducky: Uh-huh, uh-huh, much, much, much, much bigger!
 * Hyp: Oh, yeah? Well, I'm gonna see to it that you never grow up.
 * Mutt: Ah, yeah!
 * Nod: Never grow up! Never!
 * Mutt: Ah, how are ya gonna do that, Hyp?
 * Hyp: Sheesh, you're dumb. Let me lay it out for you. First, we chase 'em. Second, we catch 'em. Third, we hurt 'em! See?
 * Mutt: Ah, no, Hyp. I don't see anybody.
 * Nod: Me neither.
 * Hyp: What? Ugh! Come on! We'll pound 'em later.
 * ''[they all walk down, then Spike hides in a bush, eating a leaf, then blowing wind away]
 * Grandpa: As you can all see, our valley is quickly drying up.
 * Stegosaurus: Yes, we see it and feel it as well. There is less and less water to drink!
 * Iguanadon: And green food to eat!
 * Grandpa: I know. That is why our herds must work together, to save the little water we have left. From now on, we must drink only what we need to survive and no more. Hopefully soon, the Thundering Falls will bring us water again. If not, we may have to leave the Great Valley.
 * Ducky's Mom: Leave the Great Valley?
 * Iguanadon: Never! It's our home.
 * Grandpa: Then until the water returns, we must not use the water we have left unwisely.
 * Cera's Dad: Hmph! Three-horns never use water unwisely, but your herds do.
 * Kosh: Our herds? What makes you think our herds would do such a thing?
 * Cera's Dad: You drink greedily with no concern for other.
 * Stegosaurus: Can you believe he's saying that?
 * ''[they all chatter]
 * Kosh: Well, I've seen three-horn's waste!
 * Cera's Dad: What?
 * Kosh: You take long baths even if you're the least bit dirty! And I've seen your kind waste too. Splashing water needlessly. For shame!
 * Iguanadon: Impossible! I never did such a thing!
 * ''[they all chatter, then Cera runs on a water, laughing, then they both play in the water, then getting out]
 * Cera: Hey, let's play bullies. I'll be Hyp. [imitates Hyp, jumping to get Littlefoot] I'm gonna get you!
 * Littlefoot: [imitates Mutt] Not if I get you first!
 * ''[she gasps, then laughs, then they both run to Spike, and Petrie]
 * Petrie: Me wanna play bullies too! [imitates Nod] Hey, hatchling! You no eat my green food!
 * ''[Spike squirts at Petrie, spitting out, laughing]
 * Petrie: Hmph! Me go play bullies someplace else! Yeow! [falls in the water]
 * Ducky: Petrie, you are a flyer, not a swimmer. [laughing]
 * Petrie: Me no bully either. [sighing]
 * Hyp: But I am!
 * ''[they all look at Hyp, Nod, and Mutt]
 * Littlefoot: Aww!
 * Cera: Not again.
 * Ducky: Oh, no, no, no, no, no!
 * Petrie: It them.
 * Hyp: Though you hatchlings could play in our swimming hole, huh?
 * Cera: They're beginning to get on my nerves.
 * Nod: Can we teach 'em a lesson, Hyp? Can we, huh?
 * Hyp: Be my guest, Nod! [pushes Nod, splashing in the water, screaming, then they gasp]
 * Littlefoot: Run!
 * ''[they all run away, then Nod lands on the water, with Littlefoot ducking, then splashing at Cera's Dad, then they all laugh, then Nod runs away]
 * Mutt: See ya!
 * Hyp: Wouldn't wanna be ya!
 * ''[Littlefoot shakes the water off]
 * Cera's Dad: This is not funny. Now someone splahed me and wasted precious water!
 * Littlefoot: Huh?
 * Ducky: [to Littlefoot] Littlefoot, are you all right?
 * Littlefoot: Uh-huh. But I think I'm in trouble.
 * Cera's Dad: Your Littlefoot is guilty of wasting water.
 * Grandpa: What happened, Littlefoot?
 * Littlefoot: It was an accident, Granpda. Honest.
 * Grandpa: I'm sure it was, Littlefoot. Our children don't understand the water problem. The Great Valley has always given them everything they need.
 * Cera: What are the grown-ups talking about? What water problem? Isn't the Thundering Falls coming back?
 * Littlefoot: I don't know.
 * Cera: Well, it should. Why wouldn't it?
 * 'Ducky: Maybe it is tired and needs to rest.
 * ''[Littlefoot puts his feet up]
 * Grandpa: We need to teach our children how to use the remaining water wisely.
 * Cera's Dad: Speak for yourself, long neck! My Cera would never waste. Your Littlefoot is a bad influence.
 * Grandpa: That's not true!
 * Ducky: What is influence?
 * Petrie: Me no know.
 * Cera's Dad: Come, Cera. You're not to play with the little longneck anymore.
 * Cera: But, Daddy!
 * Grandpa: My friend, I think you're acting rashly. Littlefoot is not to blame.
 * Cera's Dad: Hmph! I said come, Cera!
 * Cera: No! [runs around]
 * Cera's Dad: Cera, I'm your father, and I know what's best for you.
 * ''[Cera walks by Cera's Dad, then they walk away]
 * Petrie's Mom: Petrie! It's time to go home!
 * Petrie: Oh, bye-bye. Coming, mama! [flies by Petrie's Mom]
 * Ducky's Mom: Come, Ducky. Spike, you too.
 * Ducky: Do not worry, Littlefoot. You are not an influence, whatever that is.
 * ''[they all walk down]
 * Littlefoot: I don't understand, Grandpa. Why does Cera's dad think I'm bad?
 * Grandpa: Oh, he's just confused, Littlefoot. Sometimes fear makes grown-ups do strange things.
 * Cera: I don't understand, Daddy!
 * Cera's Dad: You need friends who know how to behave, especially in times like this.
 * Cera: Littlefoot is my friend! He'll always be my friend!
 * Cera's Dad: Cera, I'm your father. I want what's best for you.
 * Cera: No, you don't! You just don't want me to have any fun! [runs away]
 * Cera's Dad: Cera, please. I'm just trying to... Oh, as a parent, I... [groaning]
 * ''[the grandparents walk by Littlefoot]
 * Grandma: Time to wake up, my little one.
 * Littlefoot: But, Grandma, it's early and I'm still sleepy.
 * Grandpa: You must get up, Littlefoot, if you want to drink the morning dew with us.
 * Littlefoot: The morning dew?
 * Grandpa: Yes. It collects on the leaves in the early morning. [pushes Littlefoot] If we hurry, we can drink the dew, before the bright circle gets too high in the sky and dries it all up.
 * Littlefoot: Oh. [yawning] All right. [walks down]
 * Grandpa: [takes a tree star to Littlefoot] Here, Littlefoot, drink this. I think you'll find it delicious.
 * Littlefoot: [slurps, then taking a bite of a tree star] Oops. It-It broke.
 * Grandma: It's not your fault, Littlefoot. The treestars are very dry now and crumble easily.
 * Littlefoot: [sighs] But when will everything be green and wet again, Grandma?
 * Grandma: I don't know. I hope soon.
 * ''[they both walk down]
 * Littlefoot: Well, what's going to happen if it's not soon?
 * Grandpa: Water will get harder and harder to find. Soon, everything will be as dry as that treestar.
 * Grandma: And it will be easier for fires to start.
 * Littlefoot: Fire?
 * Grandma: Yes, Littlefoot. Which is why you must remember the escape paths we've shown you.
 * Littlefoot: Don't worry, Grandma. I'll remember.
 * ''[the fish swim in the water, jumping out of the water, then jumping back in, swimming, then they all walk down, then the lizard climbs up, with the rock falling down in the water]
 * Grandma: I think we're in luck. There are still quite a few green treestars left here.
 * Grandpa: Come on, then. Let's eat!
 * Littlefoot: Yeah, let's eat! [runs by the tree, sniffing at the leaves] These don't look too good, but I sure am hungry. [tries to takes the leaves, then blowing away]
 * ''[Grandma and Grandpa take the tree stars to Littlefoot, eating]
 * Littlefoot: [spitting out] Uh! They taste terrible!
 * Grandpa: [looks at the tree] Here, Littlefoot, try these. They're still very green. [takes a branch to Littlefoot]
 * Littlefoot: Thanks, Grandpa.
 * Grandma: Go on, Littlefoot, eat up.
 * Littlefoot: But... But what about you? Don't you want some?
 * Grandma: Thank you, Littlefoot. But Grandpa and I will be fine.
 * Grandpa: Yes, you're still growing. You need the very best green food we can find.
 * Littlefoot: Well, okay. [takes a leaf, eating, then eating another one] That was good, but I sure am thirsty. When is it our turn for water?
 * Grandma: Our turn for water is when the bright circle touches the smoking mountain.
 * Grandpa: But if you're thirsty, I think you can have a drink now. After all, we never agreed that the children should have the same water restrictions as the elders.
 * Littlefoot: Oh, boy! Water!
 * Cera's Dad: It's not your time to drink, long necks!
 * Grandpa: What do you mean, not our time?
 * Cera's Dad: We agreed that all herds must take turns drinking at the watering hole.
 * Grandpa: Yes, we all agreed, but I didn't think that it included the children. It really isn't fair to them.
 * Cera's Dad: There is no fair when it comes to survival!
 * ''["Standing Tough" begins]
 * Cera's Dad: [singing] When life is tough, you gotta be tougher. If you wanna stay alive, when the trail gets rough, you gotta get rougher. To help your family survive, you can't run around in circles. Wondering what to do, someone's gotta be the voice of reason. Is it you, or you, or you? When things around us are going bad, we all better be strong. We could lose everything we have, if this goes on too long. Don't stand around here talking! I say that's not enough. No tears, no sighs, don't close your eyes. We gotta stand tough. I used to hear my father say, "Stand and fight, don't run away." He made me what I am today. I'm here. And I'm tough. When times are hard, you better be harder. You don't know what's in store. You think you're smart? You gotta be smarter than you ever were before. You say I'm mean, you say why bother? Well, I have a daughter and I'm her father. I'm gonna make sure we all have water enough, that's why I'm tough. I'm standing tough! We've got to stand tough! You don't like it? Tough.
