The Land Before Time XI: Invasion of the Tinysauruses

[Man Narrating]

Our vast universe is filled...

with objects of incredible size--

objects separated by distances

too great to measure.

But it's also made up

of many millions of particles...

far too small to see.

And these tiny things

arejust as important to life

as the large ones.

Many eons ago, dinosaurs ruled our planet.

Most of them were huge,

but among these giants

lived tiny creatures--

dinosaurs the size ofkittens.

In a world of such immense creatures,

something so small

could easily be overlooked.

But small things can be very important.

The dinosaurs of the Great Valley knew that--

especially when that small thing

was a tasty flower...

which bloomed

only once in a great while.

[Sighs]

They look so pretty.

[Sniffs]

And they smell so good.

But mostly, they taste so great.

[Spike]

Mmm.

They look all ripe and ready to me.

- [Spike]

Mm-hmm.

- Yep, yep, yep.

Me think so too.

I say we eat one.

- Ducky, no. Wait!

- Whoa!

Why did you do that?

Come on. You know the rules.

Everybody has to wait until Nibbling Day.

Then we all come here together and

we take turns, and we all get a tree sweet.

[Chuckles]

That's the way we always do it.

It's the only fair way to make sure

everybody gets a-- Spike, don't!

[Grunts, Chuckles]

[Littlefoot]

You've gotta wait too.

Me get what you say

'bout bein' fair and all,

but me thinkin' all the time--

all the time thinkin'--

and me think this:

If me fly up to tippy-tippy-top

of tree-sweet tree and take tree sweets

from tree for me and you three--

[Affirming]

then we okay, see?

Say that again?

Uh, no. Me just get 'em.

Ooh. Lots of good ones up top.

Okeydokey, here me go!

[Yells]

[Continues Yelling]

[All Yelling]

[Cera Laughing]

I asked you a question,young one.

What were you up to?

M-Me?

Oh. Oh, me.

Um, me think me see

flying pointy-bottomed stinger

up on tree sweets,

so me tryin' to chase 'em off?

Well, all right then.

Everyone in the valley is waiting

for a taste of those tree sweets.

They've been waiting a long time,

and I don't want any of them

to be disappointed.

That's why I've made it my job to pay attention

to every single little morsel on that tree.

And if even one of them disappears,

I'll know it.

Understand?

Humph.

[All Sigh]

[Laughing]

He caught you so bad.

Looks like you'll have to wait

until Nibbling Day after all.

And we all know who gets

the first tree sweet on Nibbling Day.

Yeah. Why is that anyway?

'Cause I was the first one to find

the tree-sweet tree. Everyone knows that.

That is not how I remember it.

Nope, nope, nope.

[Petrie Narrating]

Me 'member too.

It was the first time us ever saw

the tree-sweet tree.!

[Gasps]

Hey, guys.

Come look what I found!

[Strains]

- Hey, what's this?

- [Straining]

[Yelps, Grunts]

[Others Laughing]

[Petrie]

Oh, that is good one.

[Laughs]

[Laughs]

That's right.

That's exactly how it happened.

[Others Laughing]

Heh. Yeah, I guess you're right.

Littlefoot should have had

the first tree sweet.

He was just too... little.

Huh? What?

Oh, I don't mean " little" exactly.

You know-- short, small. Whatever.

You-- You think I'm small?

Come on.

Don't take it so personally.

I'm just saying you're not exactly

normal-sized for a longneck, are you?

I'm-- I-I'm still growing.

Oh, is that what's happening?

Huh. It's taking a while, isn't it?

So long, " little foot."

[Laughing]

Do not worry, Little--

U-Um, you will grow... someday.

Me think so too... probably.

Yeah. Thanks.

See ya later.

[Petrie]

Way to go, Ducky.

I-I didn't mean to--

[Female Dinosaur]

Topsy? Is that really you?

Huh?

Topsy! It is you.

- Tria?

- Mm-hmm.

W-When did you--

I-I mean-- I-I mean, how-how did--

I mean-- Whoa-ho-ho.

[Chuckles]

Why, Topsy,

you haven't changed a bit--

still the handsomest thing

with three horns.

[Giggles]

[Chuckling]

Oh!

[Straining]

Oh, I-I'm hooked.

Yep, the same old Topsy.

[Straining]

[Laughs]

That Littlefoot.

Imagine, telling me

I don't get the first tree sweet.

[Laughs]

[Cera's Dad]

Of course you get the first tree sweet.

Daddy?

[Tria Giggles]

[Tria]

You'd do that for little old me?

- [Cera's Dad, Chuckling]

W-Why, sure I would. I'd--

- Dad, is that you?

Yeah. Great. So, um--

[Whispering]

So why don't we get together later.

Whatever you say, good-lookin'.

- [Sighs]

- Daddy?

Cera, uh, what a surprise.

Who were you talking to just now?

Talking to?

Why, u-u-um, u-u-um, um--

Hey, you know what

we haven't done in a long time?

Gone to the watering hole together, huh?

Huh? Uh, what do you say?

Just you and me--

family time.

Okay. Sure, I guess.

"Too little." " Small one."

For now, maybe.

But one of these days--

[Grunting, Straining]

[Resumes Grunting, Straining]

Here, Littlefoot.

Would you like a ride?

What's the matter?

You think I'm too small or something?

Can't make it on my own?

Why, no, Littlefoot.

That's not it at all.

Well, you'd be right.

I am small.

Perhaps for now.

But you'll grow.

Of course you will, Littlefoot.

Just think how big your dad is.

And your grandfather--

why, he was once your size,

and look at him now.

He was?

You were?

Yes. Yes, Littlefoot, I was.

Just your very size.

Not by your age,

of course.

Uh, well, no.

Uh, by your age, I had grown.

[Sighs]

Thanks.

And so will you.

You'll grow. I promise.

[Sighs]

Maybe they're right.

Ah, maybe they're all right.

Maybe I am small.

But I'm big enough

to get the first tree sweet.

[Strains]

Come on.

You can do it.

[Straining, Grunts]

Oh, yeah. I got you now.

Almost there.

[Yelling, Grunting]

[Gasps]

Oh, no.

[Moans]

[Groans Softly]

Huh?

[Chomps, Gulps]

Uh?

[Gasps]

[Screams]

[Others Yelp]

- Uh?

- [Tria]

Did you hear something?

Just a flier.

If you say so, big fella.

But it sure sounded to me

like somebody screamed.

Nah. What would anybody have

to scream about...

on a beautiful day like today?

[Cera's Dad Screaming, Echoing]

What was that?

Ah, Mr. Threehorn again.

But what's wrong?

I don't know,

but I'm sure he'll tell us.

[Adult Dinosaurs Chattering]

So, Cera, you mad you not gonna get

first bite of tree sweets?

What do you think?

[Yelps]

[Jowl Shake]

Uh, yes?

[Cera's Dad]

Have you ever seen such a sad sight?

All those tree sweets--

near the peak of their

flavor perfection-- gone!

[All Chattering]

But that's not the saddest part.

The worst of it is that

someone here took them.

- [Others Gasp]

- That's right.

Someone here stole from you.

Because of them,

you won't get a tree sweet.

[Others Murmur]

Well, I was sure looking forward to eating

one of those tree sweets, because--

Well, because Topsy here

promised me the very first one.

Didn't you, handsome?

[Clears Throat, Mutters]

Did her say " Topsy"? Ew.

D'oh!

D'oh!

What's the matter with--

I didn't do it! You hear me?

I didn't do it! [Gasps]

Uh--

Hey, I know you.

I saw you running away

when Topsy and I

found the tree sweets gone.
