Granted. But because Ali and Shorty appeared in more than one film, it gave them the chance to be together with the gang, and therefore bond with each other in a blossoming relationship. Littlefoot gets jealous and tries to push a huge boulder on Shorty to kill him, but Ali saves him by pushing Littlefoot off the cliff he was gonna push the boulder off of. Basically, Littlefoot went falling towards the ground and pieces of tissue, blood, and bones splattered everywhere. While Ali may had a tiny bit of guilt in her, she knew that it was for a noble cause. And besides, why marry a Longneck that would thirst for blood anyway?
I wish that the song If We Hold On Together by Diana Ross plays on the radio stations.
