Storyline
The
story is about a young Brontosaurus named Littlefoot (voice of Gabriel Damon). Littlefoot
meets a young female Triceratops named Cera (voice of Candice Hutson) who, very
confident of her abilities, begins to play with Littlefoot. Her father, Daddy
Tops (voice of Burke Byrnes), is not happy with his daughter playing with another
dinosaur species and interrupts the playing. Littlefoot cannot understand why dinosaurs
can’t be friends among species, but Littlefoot’s mother (voice of Helen Shaver)
tells him that every species keeps to their own class and that’s the best way. But,
later, Littlefoot, when following a grasshopper, encounters Cera trying to
catch frogs in a pond. Littlefoot joins in the fun, but is suddenly interrupted
by a Tyrannosaurus Rex named Sharptooth (voice of Frank Welker). The two young
dinosaurs run for their lives. Littlefoot’s mother tries to fight Sharptooth,
but is severely injured. There is an earthquake that sends Sharptooth down to
the bottom of a gorge. Littlefoot’s mother gives him instructions to go to the
Great Valley for protection, food, and safety. She dies. The rest of the movie
is about the young dinosaurs’ adventures as they journey to the Great Valley.
