As good as it is, I think the first LBT could have been better. There are a lot of things I would have liked---for it to be much longer, for one. I feel like we didn't get enough of the whole journey to the great valley---the whole gang doesn't even come together until the last 25 minutes of this hour-long film. Also, there are some scenes I would like to have changed a bit. Firstly, that shot of Mama longneck looking down at her son needs red-done...it's creepy. I'd also like the line "All that remained of his herd was his mother, grandfather, and grandmother." He's not the leader of the herd! I would have much prefered a line like, "All that remained of one herd was a mother, and her own parents." That way they actually tell us what side of the family Littlefoot's grandparents are on, rather then just have us imply it based on how Bron adresses Gradnpa Longneck in 10. Thirdly, I'd like the death of Littlefoot's mom to be much longer, not overly long but I feel it was way to short in the version we got. And show the death as it happened, don't end the scene with it being from far away (OK, maybe the final pan out they can do that, but not the death itself.) I'd also like them to find Spike already born and the same freakin age as the gang, rather be a baby one minute and then same age as the rest of the gang when he comes out of the brown patch of grass. I'd like more scenes with the Sharptooth---I feel he did not get enough screentime. I'd like them to have Littlefoot find the great valley on his own and then rush back to save the others. I don't like how suddenly at the end of the version we know he's alone for no reason and suddenly all hopeless...it probably won't bother younger viewers but it makes no sense unless you know about the original ending. I'd like an explanation of how Ducky and Spike fell onto the ledge in the lave, and how they, Littlefoot and Petrie escaped the tar. Also, I'd probably cut out that random stampeed of longnecks appearing out of the middle of nowhere. I'd make Topps the right color at the end, and show Cera's mom and sisters if they made it to the valey. And I'd deifintely cut out that overdone series of flashbacks of Littlefoot's life. Much of the film is beautiful. That, I thought, was overkill, though (no offense to people wh thought it wasn't!) Oh, and put in Littlefoot's last line of always being together. Oh, and one last thing---have Ducky say, "He was our friend" when Petrie apparently dies, not "He was my friend", and show all of them running to him when he comes back, not just Ducky.
