I made this topic on how long the movie takes place over.
http://z7.invisionfree.com/thegangoffive/i...showtopic=10506Here's my thoughts on it now, though. (I'm coming up with this on the spot, btw)
Day 1: Littlefoot's mom gives him the treestar and he meets Cera.
Day 2: Littlefoot and Cera encounter the sharptooth, the earthquake sucks him in, Momma Longneck dies.
Day 3: Littlefoot stumbles into Rooter and continues to grieve. In the middle of the day, he baby pteranodon offers Littlefoot his cherry but he declines.
Day 4: Early in the morning, after a day of grieving and being unmotivated, Littlefoot finds the treestar and hears his mother. At sunset, he encounters Cera again.
Day 5: A still grieving Littlefoot meets Ducky in the early morning and becomes friends with her, bringing him out of his funk. Meanwhile, Cera encounters the sharptooth. Spike is born and Petrie and Cera join the gang. They find some treestars and sleep in the sharptooth's footprint.
Day 6: The sharptooth manages to catch up with them. Later that day, Littlefoot and Cera have their fight, Cera leads the rest into the mountains that burn.
Day 7: Early in the morning, the gang defeat Sharptooth (Cera, after spending a night by herself and doing some soul-searching, rejoins them) and they reach the great valley very soon after.
All in all, it takes about a week, it seems.
HOWEVER...
in a slight variant, the beginning of Day 7 could be pushed to the end of Day 6. Considering the gang could easily be washing the tar off themselves while in the lake before seeing the sharptooth, this seems fairly possible.
So, 6 or 7 days.
