Chomper killed someone! I never would have thought..... Oh boy am I a dummy for bringing him here!

Littlefoot: "Oh! I think that we forgot to feed Chomper! He must be hungry."
Cera: "I noticed..."
Chomper: Yuck! Threehorn meat is way too fatty for my liking.Here's one directly from V (via either Ducky or Petrie, cannot remember.)
Even if the Gang thought that Chomper was trying to hunt them in the fifth movie, Littlefoot probably realized that Chomper stopped because he recognized the gang. Chomper wouldn't kill his friends, but he was okay with killing them before he knew.Yeah, but you'd think Littlefoot would think, especially in the TV series, "What if he tries to eat our folks? He never met them."
Littlefoot wanting to kill Chomper after that is probably going too far, but I wonder if Littlefoot ever had the realization, that Chomper would kill leaf eaters he didn't know for food? It might be niavity on his part, but he must have thought about it at some point. He never asked Chomper this? I wonder if Littlefoot would still want to be friends with Chomper if he figured that out? If my writing, I'd have Littlefoot comes to terms with that, and still want to be friends with Chomper, after that got out, but in the 5th movie, he's known Chomper a lot less. He wouldn't be as close of friends as they are in my fics, so don't know how that would work, exactly.
about the staged startooth attackin the brave sharptooth test, it was mostly the rest of the gang that was messing up on their part. My bigger question with that episode is what if Rhett actually stayed to face Chomper? Would the whole thing be called off then? Would Chomper have actually tried to hurt Rhett, maybe out of being in the moment, and forgetting that this was just staged, or maybe just wanting to hurt Rhett because he'd been taking advantage of Littlefoot's friend, Ali??

I had wondered this too. Thanks for clarifying it.Quote from: LittlefootAndAliTogether,Dec 22 2014 on 07:40 PMWhat about those velociraptors that got washed INTO the Great Valley at the of the third movie?Actually, they weren't washed into the valley at all.
Considering that the water here fed the waterfall of the valley, if the raptors had been washed in, they would have appeared at the watering hole of the valley. Instead, however, they got out of the water well before this, still in the Mysterious Beyond.
This isn't the valley. This is the Mysterious Beyond. On the other side later in the same scene, you see Littlefoot and his grandparents. And later on, you see them return into the valley, showing that this does indeed happen in the Mysterious Beyond.
Chomper was indeed chasing them to hunt for food. The look in his eyes when he finally corners them just screams 'I'm going to kill you'. However, keep in mind that Chomper did not recognize them earlier. Note how he immediately widens his eyes and stops when he saw just who they were.The problem with this theory though is that one would believe that even Littlefoot, who does seem too trusting (heck, the only time I've seen him NOT trust someone was Pterano.) , would pick up on that and would try, along with Cera, to end Chomper. Cera would probably help out eagerly, still mad about her tail in II. Heck, remember what happened to Littlefoot's mother, whom it almost seems he mentioned the previous night? That would certainly be his first thought if he suspected any attempt to kill him. He certainly had no seconds thought about killing Sharptooth in the first movie. I think he would have tried to kill Chomper, if only fearing for his own life, if he believed that. See how Ali's herd was willing to stomp Chomper, even if he was young and could talk, because of they feared he was dangerous.
If Chomper had known who they were right away, then he likely wouldn't have attacked. He only did so because he thought they were just a bunch of random leaf-eaters on the island he and his parents lived on. It was just a misunderstanding, not a loss of control or anything.
Though technically Ali and Archie would not be dead because Littlefoot would have never convinced Ali to come to the Land of Mists while Archie would have no reason to have been facing the bellydragger, while the other kids (assuming they lived through I-III) wouldn't have--Note, assuming IV did take place after IV and Littlefoot's mother was still around to take him to the Great Valley and Grandpa Longneck was still in danger and Littlefoot WAS able to survive III, then yes, I can still see him going to the Land of Mists with Ali. Ali was afraid to go with the others anyway. She only came back to get the others as she thought she couldn't break through the rock slide on her own. Had the others died years earlier, obviously she wouldn't have come back. (Though perhaps she would have gotten the grown ups instead. However, if that scenario happens, then Littlefoot may have been rescued, though the grown ups would have really punished him and Ali, and, Grandpa Longneck still woulda died. All this meant is that the Littlefoot, his mother, and Grandma Longneck would go off as their herd, possibly alone, in V, if they didn't leave in IV. At the very least, we seemed to traded the life of Littlefoot's mother for that of his grandfather.)
nevermind I mean if they died in the first one then none of the rest would've happened really lol
^The subtitles are not in Sharptooth, but a Leafeater (English) translation. And translations need not be, and sometimes cannot be, literal.Ummm, I don't know about that. Leaf Eaters actually almost seem to have a language of their own, as can be seen in "Through the Eyes of a Spike Tail". It is only there that we hear it in a non-human linguistic.
" They no let Pterano be in TV show!""I cannot believe that young Sharptooth we hatched eat Littlefoot! He was so young!" Petrie, Land Before Time II: Great Valley Adventure, upon finding a missing Chomper and Littlefoot.
1. The narrator said "all that remained of his herd", not "last of his kind". "All that remained" simply means that only a few members were left of an initially large herd. While most of them could have been killed, some could have simply left, such as Bron. So the narrator wasn't contradicting himself with that. Also, the movie was made back in the 80s, and I doubt that they had any plans for a father for Littlefoot at the time.That is another thing, what DID happen to the rest of his herd?
6. Considering Chomper was hunting Littlefoot and the others before realizing who they were, I'd say yes, he was eating leafeaters.
7. Littlefoot actually had his grandparents, whereas Shorty had no one. But even if they did have the same problem (with Littlefoot also having nobody), that doesn't mean that they'd develop the same problems. Everyone is different. Not everyone comes out of the same experience exactly the same.
13. I don't think dinosaurs get married. They're dinosaurs. They have mates, yes. But I do not think the dinosaurs have a concept of 'marriage'.
