He fell down into

the big underground.

And that's...

where he met me.

Oh!

Dear, brave Cera.

Dear, brave Cera.

Yes, l am brave.

Sharptooth is dead!

My father told me

that flatheads had

very small brains.

l was all alone

with him in the dark,

just the sharptooth and me.

l could hear him breathing.

[Hrrahh]

- [Hrraaahh]

- Aah!

his one big ugly eye

looking for me.

[Gasp]

[Hrrahh]

What did you do?

Huh? Huh?

l walked right up to him.

l looked him

straight in the eye

and said...

[Hrraah]

Aah!

Whoa!

[Snoring]

Ducky!

Hello.

[Snoring]

Hello?

You should come out.

You should.

You are late.

Yes, you are.

Yep, yep, yep.

Come out!

You are all alone.

Are you not scared? Huh?

[Yawn]

We're going

to the Great Valley.

You could go with us. Yes.

Uh, you are a spiketail,

so we will call you Spike.

Ducky!

So the five

hungry dinosaurs

left for the Great Valley.

There had never been

such a herd--

A long-neck, a three-horn,

a bigmouth,

a flier, and a spiketail,

All knowing that

if they lost their way,

they would starve

or find themselves

in sharptooth's shadow.

Hmm. Tree stars grow

where there's lots of water.

lf we follow this water...

[Sniff Sniff]

Hmm. No green foods here,

and l still hungry.

l'm still hungry, too.

Aah!

[Sniff Sniff]

Can you smell something?

[Sniff Sniff]

l...l...

l smell... l smell...

l smell...

Hmm. Ducky.

You smell me? Heh heh.

l smell water.

l smell...

tree stars!

Oh, look!

Green food!

The Great Valley!

l found it!

Cera, stop it!

l found it!

[Rumbling]

Earthshake!

We've got to get out of here!

That way! Come on!

Help!

Spike, hurry up!

Ducky, Spike,

get out of there!

[Gasp]

[Gasp]

They're eating our food!

Look, look what they're doing!

They're so greedy!

What about me?

l'm still hungry!

Haah! You hungry?

l empty to the top.

We at the Great Valley

and still no foods.

We be hungry forevers.

Ohh!

No, Petrie.

Cera was wrong.

This isn't the Great Valley.

Oh, it is not a great anything.

Nope, nope, nope.

We better go down

and see if anything's left.

Petrie, could you

fly up there and--

No!

Petrie, do not feel sad.

Many things do not fly--

Rocks, trees, sticks,

Spike.

Waah!

- Hey!

- No!

Ducky, push Petrie

towards the branches.

Ohh!

Ok, Spike, not too fast.

Whoa!

Ok. Hey, not too fast.

Hey, not too fast!

- Aah!

- Aah!

Aah!

You four look so ridiculous.

Ha ha ha ha!

Ohh!

Ducky, Petrie,

come down here!

We've got green food!

Fly, Petrie!

Aah!

Fly, Petrie!

Flap your wings!

[Awk]

l flied?

Come on, Cera.

We've got green food.

l can get my own green food.

See? l can take care of myself...

all by myself.

And l'm not afraid to be alone!

l know my way to go,

and l'm not

afraid of sharptooth!

l hope he doesn't eat any of you.

Don't worry.

There isn't any sharptooth.

[Gasp]

Sharptooth!

Spike.

Ahem.

[Sigh]

There isn't any sharptooth.

Mmm.

Mmm.

[Thud]

Ohh!

[Grrr]

[Grrr]

Wake up.

Wake up!

Wake up!

Hey, stop that.

Shh! lt's sharptooth.

Cera, stop it.

Shh! He'll eat us.

He'll eat us! Run!

Come back!

Don't look back!

Keep going!

Aah!

Now will you believe me?

We're safe now.

Nobody's safe with you.

Look. That rock

looks like a long-neck,

like my mother said.

We're going the right way,

the way to the Great Valley!

Littlefoot had been wrong

about the sharptooth,

but the others followed.

Their only hope

was the Great Valley.

Littlefoot alone knew the way.

Come on. Get up.

We're going the right way.

We got to keep moving.

You can't quit.

What if the Great Valley

is just over these rocks?

Though they were

sore-stumped and tired,

Littlefoot urged them on.

He'd never seen

the Great Valley,

but his heart told him

they were close.

Surely at the top,

they'd behold it.

This is your Great Valley?

You're crazy.

l'm leaving.

Cera, we have to keep

following the bright circle.

l'm taking the easy way.

lt's the wrong way.

Who says?

My mother.

Then she was stupid, too.

Take that back.

Never.

Take it back!

No!

Spike!

Spike, stop!

Don't fall!

You!

Let go of my leg!

Spike.

Take that!

Huh!

Go on!

Go the wrong way.

We never wanted you

with us anyway.

Come on.

We have to keep going.
