General Land Before Time / Re: Screen Time Experiment - Land Before Time characters

Ladies and gentlemen, we have officially reached the halfway point of the film series!
So, let's see how everyone fared in this movie to wrap up the first half ...
Petrie's siblings are AGAIN in last place despite the fact that TWO of their relatives are prominent characters in this movie. It honestly seems that they can just never avoid last place.
The Spokes Dinosaur counted because he was included in the end credits (voiced by Jeff Bennett) and was the most prominent Far Walker in the meeting at the beginning of the film.
For the first time since the first movie, Topps has come out on top over both of Littlefoot's grandparents. His part in the meetings was apparently bigger than I remembered.
The big shock here? Pterano actually beat one of the Gang members! He topped Spike by just eight seconds to win a place in the top 5 for his only appearance in the series!
I'm sure some of you were thinking that Ducky was going to make the top 3. It seemed reasonable to believe so, given that her kidnapping and subsequent escape from the Flyers boosted her screen time quite a bit, but not enough.
And now, here are the top three!
Honestly, 2nd through 6th places all felt rather unpredictable for me, but in the end, some of my predictions ended up being correct.
Cera takes her third Bronze, again beating Ducky by less than a minute. However, she ended up being no match for the top two ...
YES! Petrie finally win medal! It took seven films for him to pull it off, but thanks largely to his uncle Pterano coming into the picture, Petrie comes back from an 0-6 record to finally win his first medal! Even better, he went even further by toppling the 20-minute mark to take the Silver!
Despite Petrie's valiant efforts, though, Littlefoot still tops everybody to win his seventh Gold in a row, sweeping all seven Golds for the first half of the film series. His margin of victory was only four minutes, and it seemed that Petrie looked like a threat to challenge for the Gold, but Littlefoot was more prominent, being the one who saw the Stone of Cold Fire crash into Threehorn Peak. That, along with the opening meeting and his conversation with the Rainbow Faces at the end ultimately ensured that he remained unchallenged for the top spot. Thus, Littlefoot is perfect for the first half of the series.
With halftime now upon us, it's time to delve into the second half, beginning with The Land Before Time VIII: The Big Freeze!
