The Land Before Time IX: Journey to Big Water


 * ''[first lines]
 * Narrator: The ancient seas, home to so many wonderous creatures, creatures both small, and very, very large.
 * ''[the turtle swims up]
 * Narrator: Millions and millions of years ago, these creatures swam in the warm oceans that covered most of our planet. The oceans were strange, mysterious, and very dangerous. And the world above was dangerous, too. Creatures were at risk, not only from the predators who were eaten.
 * ''[the flyers flies up]
 * Narrator: But also from the ever-changing weather patterns and natural disasters that plagued our world.
 * ''[they hear a thunderclap, then walking on the puddle, then running away by the tree]
 * Narrator: But even during this time of heavy rains, and harsh natural disasters, there was a place that dinosaurs could live in peace and harmony, the Great Valley.
 * ''[they hear thunderclap]
 * Narrator: But the Great Valley was also having some very bad weather.
 * ''[the thunder hits the tree, causing on fire, falling down]
 * Littlefoot: [sighing] When is all this skywater gonna stop, Grandpa?
 * Grandpa: I don't know, Littlefoot. Grandma and I have never seen so much of it before.
 * Littlefoot: Me neither, especially all over the ground like this. [slides on water] Gee, what if it never stops? [dires off]
 * Grandma: Oh, it will, little one. It always does.
 * ''[thr leaves cause by the wind]
 * Grandma: Though I'm beginning to have my doubts. [gasping] Oh, look!
 * Littlefoot: Wow! The sky colors! Yes! May I go play with my friends now? Please?
 * Grandpa: Of course, Littlefoot.
 * Littlefoot: [jumping in a puddle] Yay!
 * Grandma: Just don't go too far, until we know what all the sky water is done to the valley.
 * Littlefoot: I won't. See you later. [jumping over a log] Ya-hoo!
 * ''[they both roll a log, with Littlefoot walking by]
 * Littlefoot: Hey, Cera! Want to race me over to Ducky's and Spike's?
 * Cera: I can't, Littlefoot. I've got to help my father move this tree. It fell right on top of our sleeping place.
 * Cera's Dad: Cera.
 * Cera: Sorry, Littlefoot.
 * ''[they both try to push a log]
 * Littlefoot: I could help.
 * "Cera's Dad': Well, thanks for the offer, Littlefoot, but my daughter and I are pulling capable of doing the job ourselves.
 * ''[they continue to try to push a log]
 * Littlefoot: Okay, Cera. Then I'll see you later?
 * Cera: Uh-huh.
 * ''[they continue to push a log]
 * Littlefoot: Okay, well, bye. [walks away] I'll just have to race myself over to Ducky and Spike's. Ready, set, go! [runs to Ducky and Spike] Hey, Ducky, Spike, where are you guys going?
 * Ducky: Hi, Littlefoot. [falls to the ground, laughing] Mama says we have to move because the skywater has made our nesting place too squishy. [squishing on mud] See? Me and Spike really like it.
 * ''[Spike squishes the mud at Ducky, then throwing the mud at Spike's nose, laughing]
 * Littlefoot: Well, maybe when you're done moving, we can all do something together.
 * Dukcy: Oh, yes, like play in all this squishy mud. Squishy, squishy, squishy. [continues jumping on mud]
 * Littlefoot: Then I'll see you later?
 * Ducky: Uh-huh. [walking on mud] Squishy, squishy, squishy. Squishy.
 * ''[Spike walks on the mud]
 * Ducky: Squishy, squishy. Squishy, squishy.
 * ''[they both continue playing in the mud]
 * Ducky's Mom: Ducky, Spike, stop squishing in that mud and come along. We have a nest to build.
 * Ducky: I'm coming, mama.
 * ''[they both walk down]
 * Ducky: Squishy, squishy, squishy.
 * ''[he walks away, leaving Spike and Ducky playing mud]
 * Littlefoot: Hello? Petrie? You up there?
 * Petrie: Me up here, Littlefoot. But me no can play today. Me got sniffles from having wet feet. [starts sneezing, then falling to the ground] Oh, me got to learn how to fall softer.
 * Littlefoot: Gee, do you think you'll be feeling better soon?
 * Petrie: Oh, yes. Me feel much better by tomorrow. [starts sneezing, then falling down] Or maybe not.
 * ''[Littlefoot walks away, then "Chanson D'Ennui" begins]
 * Littlefoot: [singing] It's boring, boring really, truly boring when you have to be alone. When you need some friends to play Let's Pretend, but they have to stay at home. It's time for an adventure, and you want to go exploring, but it's just no fun to be the only one.
 * Ducky: [singing] It is boring, boring really, awfully boring when you have to build your nest.
 * Cera: [singing] When you push and shove from below and above and you don't have any time to rest.
 * Both: [singing] When the friends you want to be with you'll have to keep ignoring.
 * Ducky: [singing] It can make you sad.
 * Cera: [singing] It can make me mad.
 * Both: [singing] It's very, very very boring.
 * Littlefoot: [singing] When there's no where you can go, and there's nothing fun to do.
 * Both: [singing] Then the day goes by so slow and ya feel like your feet are stuck in goo.
 * Petrie: [singing] It's boring, boring very, very boring, when you have a cold in your beak. [sniffing] When you have the sniffles and your head is full of wiffles and ya can't be flying for a week. When all ya do is sneeze, and lay around all day snoring. There's nothing you can say but just for today, it's very, very.
 * Both: [singing] Very, very.
 * Littlefoot: [singing] Almost extraordinary.
 * All: [singing] Really, truly very boring.
 * Littlefoot: I'm bored.
 * ''[cut to the grandparents, taking a leaf by the rain, shaking his head, then shaking his head, sighing]
 * Littlefoot: Oh, I'm bored.
 * Grandpa: Here, Littlefoot. [takes a leaf to Littlefoot] Have a treestar. All that skywater has made the deliciously moist.
 * Littlefoot: Thanks, Grandpa, but I don't want a tree star. I want to have some fun.
 * Grandma: But, Littlefoot, you have a whole valley out there to entertain you.
 * Littlefoot: Yeah, but what's the good of that if I don't have anybody to share it with. There's no one who wants to have fun. I wish my mom had given me a brother. Then I'd always have someone to have fun with. [looks at the cloud]
 * Grandma: No, little one, your mother would have loved to have given you a brother, Littlefoot.
 * Grandpa: Yes, but because you were her only child, you were very, very special to her.
 * Littlefoot: What's so special about being all alone?
 * Grandpa: Ah, that's just it, Littlefoot. None of us are ever really alone.
 * Littlefoot: [sighing] But I feel alone.
 * Grandpa: Yes, Littlefoot, I understand. But look around you. Our Great Valley is so full of life. It really is a special place. Filled with so many special creatures. We've got fliers, and swimmers. And landwalkers of all kinds.
 * ''[the dinosaur roars, then a dragonfly flies around Grandpa]
 * Grandpa: Oh, we even have these annoying buzzimg creatures.
 * ''[the dragonfly lands on Littlefoot]
 * Grandpa: Wonderous, isn't it?
 * ''[he blows the dragonfly out]
 * Grandpa: And just think, Littlefoot. There might be other kinds of creatures out there just waiting to be discovered.
 * Littlefoot: Really?
 * Grandpa: That's right. So you see, Littlefoot, in a world so full of life, you're only as alone as you choose to be.
 * Grandma: Do you understand, little one?
 * Littlefoot: Well, no.
 * Grandma: [chuckling] Don't worry. You will someday.
 * Littlefoot: Yeah, but, what do I do fun until then? [walks away] It's not fair. [looking at the frogs leaping] There's nobody to have any fun with.
 * ''[the frogs swim, then they leap, then Littlefoot touches the water]
 * Littlefoot: Oh, hey! Hello, Littlefoot. What would you like to do today? [imitates Grandpa] I don't know, Littlefoot. What do you want to do? Hey, no fair, I asked you first. [continues imitating Grandpa] Okay. Let's go have some fun.
 * ''[the frogs leap in the water]
 * Littlefoot: Yeah! [jumping up, then leaping, then walking on a log] Gee, the skywater is changed the land around here. [clears throat, then imitating Grandpa] Think it's safe to go on, Littlefoot? [normal voice] Sure, it is. Maybe we'll find some new kind of creature Grandpa said. [runs to the cliff, then he continues imitating Grandpa] Okay, but we have to be careful. [in normal voice] Aw, don't be such a scaredy-egg. [gasping] Whoa! Look at that! There's so much water. [imitates Grandpa, walking backward] I think we've gone too far from home now, Littlefoot. [in normal voice] Yeah, you may be right. [walks away] Over here, Grandpa. It's this way. [looks around]
 * Grandpa: Oh, my! We were all afraid this might happen.
 * Cera's Dad: What do you mean, "all"? I wasn't afraid.
 * Ducky's Mom: Look.
 * Cera's Dad: [offscreen] The skywater has caused flooding in our valley.
 * Grandpa: Yes, and all the new water must have come from over those mountains.
 * Grandma: From the Mysterious Beyond.
 * Petrie's Mom: Oh, dear!
 * Cera's Dad: Oh. Well, then, who knows what terrible creatures it may have carried with it.
 * ''[the adults murmur]
 * Cera's Dad: Which means I don't want Cera anywhere near it.
 * Grandma: Little one, you must stay closer to home, until they know more about what the skywater has done to our valley.
 * Littlefoot: Okay, Grandma.
 * Grandpa: Come, everyone. I sense more skywater is about to fall.
 * ''[they all walk away]
 * Littlefoot: Gee, I don't sense anything. [screaming while hearing a thunderclap] Wait for me! [continues running by Grandpa, then hearing thunderclap, then pouring rain, followed by Mo, then the sun rises up, with the flyer flying away, then they all sleep, then hearing a squawk] Huh? What was that? [continues sleeping] Probably nothing. [he hears a squawk again] There it is again. I've never heard anything like it before. I better check it out. [stretching the body, then rolling around, then getting up, looking at the grandparents sleeping, then sneaking around]
 * Grandpa: Off a bit early this morning, Littlefoot.
 * Littlefoot: Well, I can't sleep, and I, uh... Really, really want to go out and play.
 * Grandpa: All right. Uh, just be careful.
 * Littlefoot: I will. [runs away by the grandparents, then running by Mo] Sounds like it's coming from out there somewhere. Maybe it's something new, just waiting to be discovered like Grandpa said.
 * ''[camera zooms at Mo squawking, then gasping, then trilling]
 * Littlefoot: Huh? It's a swimmer. [looking at Mo] Wow! I've never seen one like him before. [he looks at the grass] Hello? Hello? Don't be afraid. I won't hurt you. Hello, out there. [he hears Mo squawking, then looking at Mo jumping in the water, then squirting at Littlefoot, then shaking it off] Hey! [blows air out] Huh?
 * ''[Mo laughs, then swimming backwards]
 * Littlefoot: Wow!
 * ''[Mo dives in the water, then jumping in and out of the water]
 * Littlefoot: No, don't go! Please! [squirts at Littlefoot] Hey! Okay, very funny. [looks at Mo, then walking in the water] That really looks like fun. [he looks at Mo jumping in and out] I wish I could do that.
 * Mo: [gurgling] Who are you?
 * Littlefoot: I'm Littlefoot.
 * Mo: Littlefoot?
 * Littlefoot: No, Li-Li-Littlefoot.
 * Mo: "Yi-Yi-Yittlefo-o-o-t"?
 * Littlefoot: [laughing] Well, that's pretty close. What's your name?
 * Mo: Mo.
 * Littlefoot: Nice to meet you, Mo.
 * Mo: Mo not got landfoot like Littlefoot. Mo got wa-a-a-terfoot! [laughing] See? [dives back in]
 * Littlefoot: [laughing] Yeah, I see.
 * Mo: Do you like to have fu-u-u-u-n?
 * Littlefoot: I sure do! [splashes water at Littlefoot] Hey!
 * ''[he splashes back in]
 * Littlefoot: I'll get you.
 * ''[cut to Cera, Spike, Ducky and Petrie]
 * Ducky: Littlefoot.
 * Cera: Littlefoot!
 * Petrie: Littlefoot. Come out, come out, wherever you be.
 * Ducky: Maybe Littlefoot is hiding from us because he is mad.
 * Cera: Why would he be mad? We didn't do anything.
 * Petrie: [lands on the ground] Well, we not play with him.
 * Cera: It wasn't our fault we couldn't play. Now, where is he?
