Hey there, Stu Krieger! What an honor to speak to one of the guys who brought our favorite young dinos to life! Growing up as a 90s toddler fascinated with dinosaurs, The Land Before Time forever became one of my favorites, thanks in part to you!
The only question I can think of from the top of my head is this ...
Aside from Spike (because we see him hatch midway through), the movie established backstories for Littlefoot, Cera and Ducky, but we never got one for Petrie. On top of not seeing him hatch, he never even mentioned his family during his introduction. I've always been curious about the little Flyer's backstory prior to his introductory scene, and I was wondering if he was meant to have his own small scene or story that ended up being cut from the film. If so, I'd be intrigued to find out.
Thanks so much for the prehistoric movie magic of my early childhood!
