Natural Disasters

[JBJB1029]

In the entire Land Before Time (Series), which Natural Disasters were and were not used in the Movies and TV Series?

[Adder]

1. In the first movie there was an earthquake.
 2. In the third there was a fire and meteors.
 3. In the fifth there was a tsunami, an earthquake and a locust plague.
 4. In the seventh there was a volcanic eruption.
 5. In eight there was a terrible winter.
 6. In nine, there was an earthquake.
 7. In ten, there was a solar eclipse, but I don't think that one counts.
 8. In eleven there was rock slide and an earthquake.
 9. In thirteen there was an earthquake.
10. In the tv series, there was winter, fire, earthquakes, rockslides and terrible winds.

That's about it, is this needed for your LBT XV (15) fanfiction?

^ What he said.

[jansenov]

Epidemics were never used in the Land Before Time.  But finding a cure for a disease was already used for the plot of LBT IV. Also, excess moisture created the Land of Mists. Also, volcanic eruptions weren't shown as devastating as they were in reality, 'cause they could release huge amounts of carbon monoxide and sulphur dioxide. But, there's no way the Gang could survive this, so it's best to drop it.

This is not a natural disaster, but maybe it could work as a plot device. Try a massive migration (of many species) to the Great Valley, where the newcomers overwhelm the old population and Grandpa Longneck loses his place as the Great Valley's wise "man"( wise leafeater?) and leader. The Gang tries to remain friends in the face of the changing social fabric in the Great Valley. For all we know, the native population of the Valley was already overwhelmed once, in the original movie. And it seems they were peacefully assimilated.

First off, you missed 2:

• In the second there was a volcanic eruption.
  
  
• In the sixth there was a tornado.
  
  

Second it's not just the 15th but 14th-20th Movies.

Your right about this in Bold, but instead the reason will be in the 20th movie they believe The Great Valley is the Safest place from The Sharptooth Uprising since there attacks are escalating, and also The Flattooth Herd Defenders are at the Great Valley to.

JBJB1029, kindly stop talking about your fanfictions as movies. They are no movies and pretending them to be will just create false rumors.

As for disasters in LBT that we haven't seen yet there would be:

- Drought based on dry weather (rather than one that can be just fixed by breaking a dam.
- Oil or gasfires (not likely in the Great Valley unless there was any spot where oil or gas reached the surface where it might be ignited by lightning strike (there are places on earth where fires caused by this burned for decades or even centuries though locally just at the spot where the oil or gas reached the surface)).
- While there have been several volcanic eruptions in LBT, they never included a pyroclastic flow.
- There also hasn't ever been a Limnic eruption.
- Hail is another thing, but I think you are quite aware of that one.
- We have never had any dealings with poisonous plants (not quite a natural disaster, but interesting enough for stories).

For all we know, the native population of the Valley was already overwhelmed once, in the original movie. And it seems they were peacefully assimilated.

In which case "overwhelemed" wouldn't really be apply. Perhaps immigrants were simply welcome.

Take a look at this website called Natural disaster, it will help as well.

Isn't this why they had to find the great valley?

I think that it was. :unsure:

No it wasn't. The reason why leaves were dying of was never specified in the original movie, but lack of water seems to be a very unlikely reason since from the first to the last moment of the movie there was water all the time. At the place where Littlefoot was born there was a lake and a river, during the birthscenes of Littlefoot and Cera there was rain, they were playing in kind of a mud lake (not clear water, but certainly not a sign for an arid landscape), during the death scene of Littlefoot's mother it was raining again, Littlefoot saw his reflection on the water that had gathered on his treestar when he heard his mother's/heart's voice, he met Ducky at a lake or rivulet, later (shortly before they found the copse of trees) they were at a stream as well. Whatever caused the dying of leaves in the first movie, it was surely not lack of humidity.

PS: Not even the surroundings of the volcanoes were arid with the mud puddles, the single plant which Spike found there and the lake where the final clash with the Sharptooth took place.
