A drought is occurring and some dinosaurs are heading to the ‘Great Valley’, “A land still lush and green”. A “Longneck” (Apatosaurus) herd gives birth to a single baby, named Littlefoot (Gabriel Damon). Cera (Candace Hutson), a “Three-horn” (Triceratops), plays with Littlefoot for a while until a “Sharptooth” (Tyrannosaurus) attacks. Littlefoot’s mother intervenes, battling with the Sharptooth and suffering severe injuries, but managing to defeat him by pushing him into a deep chasm. At the same time, an “earthshake” (earthquake) occurs, opening a deep ravine in the ground, which swallows up the Sharptooth and a great deal of other dinosaurs, and separates many herds, including Littlefoot’s and Cera’s. Littlefoot finds his mother when the earthquake ends, but she is mortally wounded, and near death. Before dying, she tells Littlefoot that she’ll be with him and gives him instructions on how to get to the Great Valley. She instructs him to follow the “bright circle” (sun) past the “great rock that looks like a longneck” and then past the “mountains that burn” (volcano).
He meets a “Swimmer” (Parasaurolophus); named Ducky (Judith Barsi), who asks to join him. As they travel, and try to find food along the way, they encounter an aerophobic “Flyer” (Pteranodon) named Petrie (Will Ryan), who joins them on their quest. Cera bumps into them and warns them of Sharptooth, but Littlefoot does not believe her, being convinced that Sharptooth is dead. As Cera describes the encounter (exaggerating her bravery), she accidentally flings Ducky near a patch of grass, which has a hatching egg containing a baby “Spiketail” (Stegosaurus). Ducky names him Spike and brings him into their band.
The Sharptooth attacks them in the morning, but they escape through a cave-tunnel too small to admit him, and discover a Longneck-shaped monolith mentioned by Littlefoot’s mother. Although they pass other landmarks she mentioned, such as a string of volcanoes, Cera grows impatient as the search begins to yield no results and quarrels with Littlefoot, causing a schism in the little herd. Littlefoot continues in the direction he was told, while the others follow Cera, who goes another way. As Ducky, Spike and Petrie fall into danger involving a lava barrier and a tar pit, Littlefoot comes and rescues them. Read more
