Where did Littlefoot's possible future father-in-law go?

Not sure...we only saw her mother briefly, and she wasn't in the TV series....

I assume Ali's father probably died just as Little Foot's mother died or maybe Land of Mist took him!  :cry
I imagine this might have been where the writers could have explored a semi-romance between Ali and Little Foot, that they both have losing a parent in common.

He may have died. I think so. Maybe he was killed before Ali was born, perhaps by an Earthshake or something?
Growing up I was a big LBT fan and had seen all movies and TV series episodes. On the forum, I was formerly known as Hypnobrai until Nov 11, 2017.

In recent years, I have gained an interest in the production of The Land Before Time, particularly the deleted scenes of the original film. New discoveries have been made in the last few years and continue to be made, so I feel that it is a good time to contribute.

I have always loved sharpteeth more than any other creatures in the franchise, especially the fourteenth film's Carnotaurus, the fifth film's Sharptooth, and especially the original Sharptooth.

I am a former administrator of the LBT wiki, having been active from 2017 to 2019.

That's exactly what I was thinking. But realistically, I picked the Universal option, because it wouldn't surprise me. :P

He would have eaten too much budget because longnecks eat too much! xD

(Srsly, why is that not one of those poll options?)
Inactive, probably forever.

Because the poll creator didn't have a sense of humor?

I can think of a million reasons for his absence (there are some good ones in the poll!), but I'm probably going to go with that Universal was just too lazy to include him.

It's fanfiction territory although I don't think I've ever seen someone giving him any particular role in their stories... and that includes me as well, I suppose. :)

I don't think I've ever seen him being featured or even mentioned in their fics...

Chomper's Parents probably had him for dinner long ago. :P

Chomper: "Well, sure I would!"

Come give my LBT TV Series fanfiction, PAST-O-RAMA, a read!

There could be any number of reasons. He could be banished or on a mission away from the migrating herd. He could be the type of man who felt he only needed to, erm...contribute to making the egg and then flounce off. Or he could be still with the herd and doing father duties for Ali but the story makes the parents such a low priority they only felt like showing one of them.

Not that I mind too much. Mamas for the win!
