I don't have much of an answer for this topic. Littlefoot is definately in my top five favorite singers. I also like Ruby, Chomper from the series, Ducky, and Ali, but back to the topic. Littlefoot is a wonderful singer; any song that captures his voice alone, even for a bit is a special pleasure. I will give my three most favorite voices of Littlefoot, from fourth to first. I'm not saying any Littlefoot does a better job than another one, I just enjoy listening to these four the most when it comes to his singing.

4. Anthony Skillman- XIII and the series
Favorite work- How Do You Know?- XIII

3. Thomas Dekker- V-IX
Favorite work- No One Has to be Alone- IX

2. Alex Medlock- X
Favorite work- Adventuring- X

1. Scott McAfee- II-IV
Favorite work- It Takes All Sorts- IV

Littlefoot is quite gifted in song. I could easily see him in a Great Valley choir.

Well, I definately have more Land Before Time songs that I really like than those that I don't enjoy so much, but I'll just list seven of the ones I especially like hearing and why.

On Your Own (VI)- I love dramatic songs, and Littlefoot is such a great singer, so having him do this solo was quite pleasant. It starts with his feelings, then ends with his realization. He actual learns while singing. He has quite the impressive mind which displays nicely through a well written song.

Peaceful Valley (II)- Loved the melody and the significance of most of the lyrics like "Every cloud in the sky, green leaf on a tree, is reminding me, far away dreams really do come tru-u-u-ue." I also liked the way they divided each character's parts at the start. And the fact that it is the only Land Before Time song at the present that starts at the beginning of the movie, but stops and doesn't finish until the credits.

Both vesions of Remebering that I am aware of (The Star Day Celebration and The Missing Fast Water Adventure)- Very pretty sounding song. Ruby sings them so well, and they have a good message about never forgetting what is really important. The one from TSDC really adds to the special feeling too.

Friends for Dinner (V)- The is humorous how Chomper and Littlefoot sing it feeling one way, while the other three who sing feel quite differently. The lyrics don't agree with the times, (soup, stew, a la mode, etcetera) but the song is still fun to hear with its updeat rhythm.

It Takes All Sorts (IV)- Very nice hearing a song against racism in a Land Before Time kind of way. It's Ali's only song, but at least it has a very important message while showing how beautiful of a voice she has. And it shows that Ali can learn a lot faster than most humans. She learns about accepting others in one day, then sings about it as if she had known all about it her whole life. "It takes all sorts to make a world. Short and tall sorts, large and small sorts. To fill this pretty planet with love and laughter. To make it great to live in, tomorrow and the day after... The brightest way, the rightest way, according to reports is simply to take all sorts." Wow. She managed to deduce all the secrets of accepting all types after learning the concept in less then a day. She's amazing!

How Do You Know? (XIII)- Littlefoot has been giving his wisdom to others from the beginning of their friendship. It was nice to hear him finally question himself and have the other three who can sing help him understand what to do. It really shows Petrie, Ducky, and Cera's wisdom truly shine. The dramatic tune completes the moment.

All Land Before Time songs are made for a reason, even if that reason is presented unpleasantly and/or is very difficult to find and understand. And if a song is made mainly to pass the time, make the movie/epsiode a bit longer, and appeal to children who like songs, well, that's still a reason.

Gee, taking this serious and literally, I actually don't think there would be anyone I'd like to see killed. If it was to happen in an episode, there'd have to be quite a good organizing in the episode's story itself, so it wouldn't seem something... out of context.

Saying it that way must've been a lot easier to write than my response, which is interesting considering we feel the exact same way. It's always difficult getting my long points across without making things complicated. You said it perfectly though: I don't want to see any deaths. I know sharpteeth kill to survive, but at least it's offscreen and they haven't done it to anyone we know since the first movie. Considering how The Land Before Time sequels have proceeded so far, a known death would indeed be out of context without a VERY good reason.

Technically, Edaphosaurus isn't a dinosaur. So far, Dink is the only cartoon I heard of that incorrectly classifies Edaphosaurus as a dinosaur. Then again they do look like Dimetrodon, another creature incorrectly classified as a dinosaur, so I guess I shouldn't be surprised.

Wow, I had no idea. There I go assuming things as usual. Thanks for clearing this up for me though. One more thing I can know for sure.

The only dinosaur type that I look forward to seeing is the edaphosaurus. That is the only dinosaur kind that I like that hasn't already appeared on The Land Before Time. I became a fan of them when watching another series about dinosaurs: Dink, the Little Dinosaur. My favorite character, Shyler, is an edaphosaurus and I became quite fond of them after watching that show. Now if they'll put 'em in The Land Before Time, that show will have my complete collection of dinosaurs that I'm fond of.

The only thing that worries me, is that there might be some of those dinosaurs here already and I just didn't recognize them because different companies draw things quite differently. How utterly embarrasing if that were to be the case.

This is going to sound different. I get made fun of for liking The Land Before Time all the time. But here is the weird part. My coworkers, friends, and even new step-grandfather respect my tastes. If I like something, they either say if they like it or not, but they don't make fun of me at all. The only people that do make fun of me, are my family. All three of my brothers make fun of me, along with both my parents. But this has only been a trial to prove my devotion. If I didn't like it that much, I would have grown tired of all these years being patronized and quit being a fan. But because I love it, their words don't phase me at all. Their missing out, and I am having a blast. I actually feel sorry for them at times. They hate what they don't understand. I wish they'd give up on trying to make me hate it, because since I won't, they're just wasting their time. When you don't like something, you say so. Understandable. But please watch out for my family. Not a week goes by that they don't make clear how "stupid" it is. But every blow that doesn't strike me down makes me stronger. Bring it on.

I always enjoy it when two characters with the same type of personality meet. Then we can see who has the stronger will, or bigger heart, depending on the pairing. Off hand, I can only think of two good matches. Cera meeting Myra from Sharptooth Valley, and Littlefoot meeting Rita from Sharptooth Valley. Of course, Chomper would have a lot of explaining to do on both ends. "Please don't eat them when they show up. They're buddies of mine." "Don't worry guys. I told everyone we know each other so relax." Still, Chomper would have to give Littlefoot and the others the background story of befriending leaf eaters, but they'd understand- except maybe Cera. But who knows? Maybe since Cera and Myra are compatible, they might actually get along. Hmmm. Cera getting along with someone... Ya know, nevermind that part. But things would definately get interesting.

I also noticed in The Land Before Time III: The Time of the Great Giving, Littlefoot exclaimed how hungry he was, ate two leaves, and was satisfied. The satisfied part was proven when he stopped eating and said "That sure was good." I have never heard that expression from a child when he/she still wanted more food. I can maybe see Petrie or Ducky satisfied from that kind of meal, but I'm pretty sure that a dinosaur Littlefoot's size could eat more than a full grown human. Logically, stress from unfortunate incidents in one's invironment can lead to temporary eating disorders, things like being hungry then quickly being full. Which means, eather the creaters greatly underestimated the capactity of his stomach, didn't have the time ton show him eating a full meal, or it seems they are hiding stress related stomach abnormalities on a show aimed at children

While it would be difficult for me to fathom some theories as to what Chomper might have done, I can definately point out what the movie proves he does, and based off the facts it provides, I can add some educated gueses which could very well explain some things. It is clear that Chomper spent a lot of time exploring the island and even naming the places, something he still needs to work on. But most interesting of all was the fact that he analyzed the importance of the places he finds. Remember when he hid his friends in the "Stinky Place?" He put them there because he understood that sharpteeth could not find them because of the strong odor of the plants there. While it is possible his parents simply told him about smells confusing sharpteeth, for the sake of making things intersting, I have some theories as to what personal experiences might have happened to make him realize that.
1. His parents were looking for him, and as children are playful, they like to hide from them at times, and perhaps Chomper- being a child- does just that by hiding in the 'Stinky Place" not even realizing what would happen, it was probably just a nearby place to duck into. When his excellent tracking parents walk right by without noticing him, he could probably piece together what happened.
2. Or maybe somthing simpler. He is hunting small prey, smelling it with his mouth watering, when it jumps into the "Stinky Place" and the scent vanishes. Another easy discovery.
3. But what if discovering this wasn't so easy? With an island full of exotic smells, he might've noticed his sniffer not working so well near them. Then he finds the "Stinky Place" and makes a realization, "If my sniffer has trouble with things that smell half as strong, it musty be impossible for sharpteeth to smell around here!" A little bit more thinking is involved on Chomper's part here, but he's a clever little guy.
As for friends, I highly doubt he had any. On that very small island, you'd think any friends would be hanging around. For the two days the gang is there, Chomper is not seen interacting with any one else his age, and it seems odd that he would ignore any old friends when new ones came. Chomper was dying for the others to meet his parents. Usually kids want friends to meet friends. I usually only see such an effort to introduce family when there is no one else around to introduce. Littlefoot says, "So, do you live here?" "Yep. Me and my mommy and daddy!" he answers. He doesn't mention anyone else. Think about it. If you lived with a friend and your parents, and somebody asks you about living where you are, why on earth would you mention your parents and say nothing about a friend? I highly doubt Chomper would have forgotten having any other friends. Call me crazy, but I don't think he wanted Littlefoot to stay because he's a friend that he can play with. I think Chomper wanted him to stay because he's Chomper's only friend, the only one to play with.

I figured he go hunting with his parents and maybe by himself.

I can give a confirmed response to that. It shows Chomper hunting by himself toward the beginning. He finds the gang because he was hunting them. It wasn't originally a friendly visit. He chased them with a death glare that only went away when he recognized them. This also proves that had gone hunting with his parents in the past because they must've taught him what do. He didn't have a death glare until he left with his parents.

As for life in general, young children need friends to play with, and Chomper had had a taste of true friends as a baby which turns out that he did not forget about. Therefore his life was as lonely as possible. If he had never had friends, he wouldn't feel as bad since he wouldn't know what he was missing. But after taking one bite of candy, even if you can't get any for a long time, you never forget the pleasaure it brought you, and therefore you suffer, because you know how good something is, but are only being able to enjoy it in your dreams. And I'm not saying Littlefoot ruined his life in any way. You know what they say, "Tis better to have experienced true friendship and lost it, than to never have had a friend at all." Okay, that's not how it goes, but I had to make it fit. Chomper was lonely, but I believe knowing what is out there and longing for it beats being oblivious to the worlds pleasures any day.

(Sigh) If I had waited ten more minutes I would have known that I didn't need to write my post at all. I don't usually speak for others, but brakclub85 had made such a good point a while back that I just wanting to make sure his idea, which I love, was expressed. You never know if someone falls in a coma or something and can't post. Well I'm sorry for stealing his spotlight. He just had such a good point I got hasty. I'll try to stick with my own ideas now. Still, ya gotta admit that out of the many members and topics, writng about someone then having the same person show up at the same topic at about the same time and writing right after you do, well, winning the lottery seems equally likely.
