This is alist of characters inThe Land Before Time, a series of animated feature films and atelevision series. The main characters include Littlefoot (Apatosaurus[1]), Cera (Triceratops[2]), Ducky (Parasaurolophus[3]), Petrie (Pteranodon[4]), Spike (Stegosaurus[5]), and in the spin-off television series andthe fourteenth film, Chomper (Tyrannosaurus[citation needed]) and Ruby (Oviraptor[citation needed]). Other characters include the families of the main characters, the residents of their home, the Great Valley, and outsiders to the Great Valley.
The idea forThe Land Before Time came during production ofAn American Tail.Steven Spielberg's studioAmblin Entertainment was interested in doing a film about dinosaurs, which were popular at the time, leading Spielberg, directorDon Bluth, and producerGeorge Lucas to develop the prehistoric setting and its cast. Inspired by the dinosaur-themed "Rite of Spring" sequence fromDisney'sFantasia, Spielberg had originally intended for the movie to have no speech, with music cues and body language telling the story, effectively rendering all the characters mute. However, it was decided that the film could not carry a story without dialogue, and each character was given a speaking language accordingly. The film's artists used theFantasia sequence and characters as guides when creating their first concept art.[6]
Bluth had to learn most of his information about specific dinosaur species before work began, stating "I had to do lots and lots of research because I never was a fanatic about dinosaurs as a kid. But in many ways it became a fictional fantasy because it's about these young children who are taught to hate each other; anyone who is different from him. When they are separated from their parents, these five little children have to learn to get along with each other for survival. So there is a bit of a moral in it, too".[6] The films creators decided to have aTyrannosaurus as the main villain.[6]
While Bluth had originally wanted to portray a more "forceful, dramatic" representation of prehistoric times, the idea was sometimes at odds with studio executives who wanted a more child-friendly "get-along gang" approach, which called for the main characters becoming cuter, but still distinctly detailed, as a compromise.[6] After the release of the first film, neither Bluth, Spielberg, nor Lucas had further creative input in the series, with character development and design tweaks now guided byUniversal Pictures Home Entertainment and associated studios.
Littlefoot, voiced byGabriel Damon (I),Scott McAfee (II-IV), Brandon LaCroix (V),Thomas Dekker (singing voice, V; singing and speaking, VI-IX),Alec Medlock (X), Aaron Spann (XI), Nick Price (XII),Cody Arens (XIII, TV series),Logan Arens (XIII), Anthony Skillman (singing voice, XIII, TV series) and Felix Avitia (XIV), is a brown maleApatosaurus, or "Long Neck".[1] He was born in the beginning of the very first film. When his mother dies protecting him from a sharptooth, he is forced to travel through the harsh wilderness alone to find his surviving grandparents. After meeting several young dinosaurs along the way who would become his best friends, they arrive in the verdant Great Valley where the series primarily takes place. InJourney Through the Mists, Littlefoot is introduced to his female cousin Ali, a member of another Longneck herd.[7] He eventually meets his father, Bron, in the filmThe Great Longneck Migration. Bron adopts an orphan named Shorty, who becomes his foster brother.[8]
Littlefoot has been called aBrontosaurus[9][10][11] and aBrachiosaurus,[12] but is now identified as anApatosaurus.[13][1]
He was originally named "Thunderfoot" by the creators of the first film, until it was discovered that aTriceratops character from a children's book had the same name.[14] The original name was kept very late into production, up until just before the film's release.[15] Littlefoot has been compared to characters such asDisney'sBambi,[16] andDorothy fromThe Wizard of Oz, on how he goes on a strange journey and meets many new friends along the way.[10]
Cera, voiced byCandace Hutson (I-IV), andAnndi McAfee (V-XIV, TV series) is an orange femaleTriceratops or "Three Horn".[17] Like Littlefoot, she hatches in the first film, and is later separated from her parents and sisters during an earthquake. She accompanies Littlefoot to the Great Valley where she is eventually reunited with her father. She is stubborn, boastful, sometimes reckless, and occasionally belligerent, but is often made to look foolish when she is proven wrong. The initial film, and a few sequels, attributed an ego to her species, especially to herself and her father, but this is diminished in later appearances. In theInvasion of the Tinysauruses, her dad begins a new relationship with a Threehorn named Tria, who Cera initially dislikes, but eventually comes to accept.[18] By thefollowing film, Tria and Cera's father have become mates, and have a child named Tricia, Cera's half-sister.[19]
The character was originally conceived as a maleTriceratops named "Bambo",[14] but was changed to a female named "Cera" at the suggestion of producerGeorge Lucas midway through animation of the first film.[6] Hal Hinson ofThe Washington Post called Cera "a fiercely cute and rambunctious little dynamo" in his review of the 1988 original,[20] with critic Mark R. Leeper likewise calling her "cute and pugnacious".[21] She was the main character of the 2001 children's bookThe Land Before Time: Cera's Big Day Out by Molly Goode, Judy Freudeberg, and Tony Geiss,[22] as well as the 2007 bookCera's Shiny Stone based on theTV series episode "The Canyon of Shiny Stones".[23]
Ducky, voiced byJudith Barsi (I), Heather Hogan (II-IV) andAria Noelle Curzon (V-XIV, TV series), is a green femaleSaurolophus,[24] known colloquially as a "Big Mouth", "Duck Bill" or "Swimmer". She was one of the young dinosaurs who accompanied Littlefoot to the Great Valley when she was separated from her family. After arriving in her new home, her mother adopted the orphaned Spike, who became her foster younger brother. She has numerous biological siblings, with many being born in the original film andJourney of the Brave. Characterized as having an energetic, cheerful and child-like personality, she speaks enthusiastically, often replying to things in triplicate ("Yep, yep, yep!" or "Nope, nope, nope!") and usually avoiding the use of contractions.
The series' official website referred to her as aParasaurolophus,[24] while other sources have referred to her as anAnatosaurus.[14][25][10]
Petrie, voiced byWill Ryan (I) andJeff Bennett (II-XIV, TV series), is a brown malePteranodon,[26] or "Flyer". He is characterized as panicky and anxious, and traveled with Littlefoot to find his mother and siblings in the Great Valley while learning the basics of flight along the way. He is talkative, but speaks in broken English, usually omitting such linking verbs as "is", "are", and "am", using "me" in place of "I", and referring to himself inthird person. He was originally meant to have a larger role in his debut, but much of his screen time was given to Ducky due to how impressed the producers were with Judith Barsi's performance.[6] He was a central character in the twelfth filmThe Great Day of the Flyers.[27]
The producers of the original film had difficulty deciding on a voice for the character until it was suggested by Steven Spielberg's son, Max, that he sound similar to Digit from the previous Don Bluth film,An American Tail. Digit's voice actor Will Ryan was then asked to fill the role.[6] Petrie is the only one of the original five principal characters that is not a dinosaur.[28]
The series' official website referred to him as aPterodactyl.
Spike, possibly effects byFrank Welker (I), then voiced byRob Paulsen (II-V, VII-XIV, TV series) andJeff Bennett (VI), is a green maleStegosaurus[29] or "Spiketail". Despite being the largest, he is actually the youngest of the original main characters; his hatching being witnessed by Ducky whose parents later adopted him. He is characterized as gluttonous, laid-back and rarely speaks, communicating mostly in grunts orscat singing. During the fourth film,Journey Through the Mists, he speaks for the first time, calling Ducky's name, and again in the eighth filmThe Big Freeze, where he calls out to his mother. In the same film, it is mentioned that his birth parents were probably lost in the earthquake of the first film, and becomes close friends with anotherStegosaurus named Tippy.[30] TheTV series episode "Through the Eyes of a Spiketail", is told largely from Spike's point of view, where he speaks, internally, with a low voice, and can "hear" the song of plants that guide him to them.
Spike's design was based on Bluth's petChow Chow, Cubby, with the director commenting that he had a personal fondness for the character, calling him "a pure soul, simple, accommodating, and eager to please".[14] He has been described by journalists as the "fat kid" of the group,[31] "quiet and shy",[10] and a "tagalong".[32]
Chomper, voiced byRob Paulsen (II), Cannon Young (V),Max Burkholder (TV series), andIssac Ryan Brown (XIV) is a purple maleTyrannosaurus[33] or "Sharptooth". He first appeared in the second film,The Great Valley Adventure, as a newborn hatchling whom Littlefoot and the others attempt to raise before returning him to his parents.[34] He re-appeared as a supporting character in the fifth filmThe Mysterious Island, in which he is now able to speak the language of both Sharpteeth and leaf-eaters, but must convince his parents and Cera that both groups can get along.[35] He became a main character in theTV series, having migrated to the Great Valley under the care of Ruby, and attempts to discover how its residents can live in harmony so he can pass this knowledge to his own kind. He is also known for having an amazing sense of smell, which comes in handy on occasion. Chomper also appears in the fourteenth filmJourney of the Brave, when he attempts to greet Wild Arms, who passes out.
In his debut inThe Great Valley Adventure, Steve Rhodes of Rotten Tomatoes UK commended the character's design, calling him "a real scene stealer".[34] Chomper is the star of the children's bookThe Lonely Dinosaur, based on the TV series episode "The Lonely Journey".[36]
Ruby, voiced byMeghan Strange, is a pink femaleOviraptor[37] or "Fast Runner", who first appeared inthe television series, debuting in the inaugural episode "The Cave of Many Voices". Originally from the Mysterious Beyond, she meets Chomper and agrees to accompany him to the Great Valley after being separated from her parents and two siblings from being ambushed by a Sharptooth named Red Claw. Later, she reunites with her family in the episode "Return to Hanging Rock", but returns to the Valley in order to keep looking after Chomper as she promised his parents. She made her film debut in the fourteenth filmJourney of the Brave. Ruby is characterized as being the wisest of her friends, giving advice or encouragement,[37] and often makes repetitive or redundant statements ("Hello my friends, my friends hello" or "I think I need to go do some thinking at my thinking place").
Grandpa Longneck, voiced byBill Erwin (I) andKenneth Mars (II – XII, TV series) andBarry Bostwick (XIV), andGrandma Longneck, voiced byLinda Gary (II – IV) andMiriam Flynn (V – XIV, TV series), are two elder bluish grayApatosaurus and are Littlefoot'smaternal grandparents. They are his primary caregivers after his mother's death; whereas Grandpa Longneck, together with Topsy, serves as a leader of the combined herds of the Great Valley. Littlefoot idolizes his grandfather. Although both elders seldom fight, each is fully capable of opposing atyrannosaur.
Grandma and Grandpa Longneck appear in all of theLand Before Time films, and in many episodes of the TV series. Their names have never been given: all the characters (even they themselves) address them by title, or by the species name of "Longneck". Only Bron, theirson-in-law, calls them something different, identifying them as "Papa and Mama Longneck".
Ducky and Spike's mother, voiced byTress MacNeille (II-XI, TV series) andMeghan Strange (XIV), is a brownSaurolophus who appears in most of the films. Ducky and Spike's father appears in the initial film andThe Big Freeze. Their mother is a kindly, attentive figure, and is treated withrespect by all children and adults in the Great Valley. She occasionally has doubts on whether to raise Spike in keeping with her own values or with those of hisracial heritage; this was seen inThe Big Freeze when a herd met and befriended Spike, but Spike recognises her as his mother and remains with his adoptive family rather than the herd.
Petrie's mother, voiced byTress MacNeille (I-XII, TV series) andAnndi McAfee (XIV), is a ceruleanPteranodon and has major appearances inThe Mysterious Island,The Stone of Cold Fire, andThe Great Day of the Flyers. In the seventh film, she flies to the "Mysterious Beyond" to find Petrie and Ducky, blaming her brotherPterano for endangering them.
Ducky and Spike have several siblings. In the first film, Ducky's parents' nest contained about half a dozen eggs, whereas in the second film, Ducky's parents have another nest from which several are hatched.
Daddy Topps, voiced byBurke Byrnes (I),John Ingle (II – XIII, TV series) and George Ball (XIV), is a dark greyTriceratops and Cera's father. He was credited as "Daddy Topps" in the first film and is otherwise called "Mr. Threehorn". InInvasion of the Tinysauruses, Tria refers to him by the pet name "Topsy", much to the annoyance of Cera. He is portrayed as belligerent, domineering, sometimes hostile and stubborn like his daughter.
Tria, voiced byCamryn Manheim (XI – XII) and Jessica Gee (XIII, TV series), is Topps' second mate. Tria is introduced inInvasion of the Tinysauruses, where she is opposed by Cera until later in the story. Tria and Topps have a child inThe Great Day of the Flyers.
Tricia, voiced byNika Futterman (XII) andMeghan Strange (TV series), is Topsy and Tria's daughter and Cera's half-sister. Tricia is introduced inThe Land Before Time XII: The Great Day of the Flyers.
Ali, voiced by Juliana Hansen (IV) andNika Futterman (TV series), is a young female pink (IV) & purple (TV series)Apatosaurus, who first appeared inThe Land Before Time IV: Journey Through the Mists. She quickly befriends Littlefoot, but is wary of the other main characters since they are not Longnecks. However, she befriends them after they all cooperate against common danger. She is their guide through the 'Land of Mists' through which her family formerly traveled. Ali appears again in the TV episode "The Brave Longneck Scheme".
Old One, voiced byCarol Bruce (IV) andJessica Walter (TV series), is an old femaleApatosaurus who is the matriarch of the tribe of migrating longnecks, which includes Ali, who first appeared inThe Land Before Time IV: Journey Through the Mists. She is old and wise and bears a prominent scar (or perhaps just advanced age creases) on the left side of her face. Her long life of constant migration has given her much life experience, allowing her to speak on topics that others find hard to believe. Old One appears again in the TV episode "The Brave Longneck Scheme".
The elderlyMr. Thicknose is voiced byRobert Guillaume (VIII) andDorian Harewood (TV series) is an old malePachyrhinosaurus. In his first appearance,The Land Before Time VIII: The Big Freeze, he is a very respected resident of the Great Valley, having convinced the others that he has been everywhere and seen everything. When snow falls in the Valley for the first known time, and he is unable to explain it, the other adults lose faith in him. While stranded in the Mysterious Beyond, he reveals to the children, to whom he acted as a teacher, that most of his knowledge comes from secondary sources. Despite this, he is able to use the knowledge he learned to guide them back to the Great Valley.
Shorty, voiced by Brandon Michael DePaul (X) andE. G. Daily (TV series) is a young dark greenBrachiosaurus who first appears inThe Land Before Time X: The Great Longneck Migration. When Bron found Shorty, he was defending a group of much younger dinosaurs. Shorty bullies Littlefoot at first; he antagonizes him until Littlefoot decides that he can be his adopted older brother, and Shorty accepts. In the end, while Littlefoot decides to stay with his grandparents, Shorty stays with Bron.
Tippy, voiced byJeremy Suarez (VIII) andCree Summer (TV series), is a pinkish orangeStegosaurus who first appeared inThe Land Before Time VIII: The Big Freeze in which his herd migrates into the Great Valley temporarily, after which he quickly befriends Spike. Unlike Spike, Tippy, though with limited use of words, is very vocal.
Bron, voiced byKiefer Sutherland (X) andCam Clarke (TV series), andScott Whyte (XIV) is a brownApatosaurus, the father of Littlefoot, the adoptive father of Shorty, and the son-in-law of Grandpa and Grandma Longneck. He first appears inThe Land Before Time X: The Great Longneck Migration, wherein Bron reveals that he was separated from his wife and in-laws before Littlefoot hatched. Although Littlefoot and Bron are affectionate, they separate at the end of the film, promising to reunite. Bron eventually fulfills this in the TV episode "The Big Longneck Test", in which he administers a series of difficult tasks to Littlefoot. He reappears in the 14th filmJourney of The Brave, where he is trapped near a volcano and is hurt, which urges Littlefoot and his friends to journey there to rescue him. He is shown to have great admiration for Littlefoot's friends and is proud of the children's will to save him.
Hyp, Mutt and Nod are a trio of adolescent dinosaurs, who first appeared inThe Land Before Time III: The Time of the Great Giving, in which they often quarrel with Littlefoot, Cera, and the others. It is also implied and later revealed near the end of the film that Hyp the grayHypsilophodon, behaves in this manner because of the aggressive treatment that he receives from his father. His lackey, Mutt the greenMuttaburrasaurus, is shown to be much softer-hearted, as well as dim-witted, whereas Hyp's other lackey, Nod the greenNodosaurus, frequently emphasizes Hyp's statements, as well as allowing him to ride on his back. They become friends with the others after all eight cooperate against a pack of "Fast Biters".
The trio appear again in the season one finale of the television series, "The Great Egg Adventure".
In the film, they were voiced byWhit Hertford (Hyp),Jeff Bennett (Mutt), andScott Menville (Nod). In the TV series, Bennett and Menville resume their roles, but Hyp is voiced byMikey Kelley.
Mo, voiced byRob Paulsen, is a colorfulOphthalmosaurus who first appeared inThe Land Before Time IX: Journey to Big Water. The character is bilingual, speaking a broken form of the herbivore language, as well as his native dolphin-like language. He is very playful, and becomes popular with the main characters aside from Cera, who is at first annoyed by his playful antics.
Though the character's only prominent roles are in the ninth film and in the TV episode "The Missing Fast-Water Adventure", he has made a few appearances in the films. InThe Great Longneck Migration, he jumps out of the water during the song "Adventuring", and he says "And fly!" during the song "Flip, Flap and Fly" inThe Great Day of the Flyers.
Doc, voiced byKris Kristofferson (VI) andJeff Bennett (TV series), is a nomadic elderly grayish blueDiplodocus. In his first appearance,The Land Before Time VI: The Secret of Saurus Rock, he saves Littlefoot shortly after arriving in the Great Valley and Littlefoot idolizes him thereafter as the legendary "Lone Dinosaur", who purportedly saved the Great Valley from a particularly powerful Sharptooth long before; Doc's own statements about having visited the Great Valley before, as well as a large scar on his face resembling one of the legend, support Littlefoot's ideas. At the end of the film, after Doc and Grandpa Longneck defeat two marauding dinosaurs together, Doc leaves the Valley. He appears again in the TV episode "The Lone Dinosaur Returns", in which he now has a lady-friend. During the episode, he is initially appalled by Littlefoot's friendship with Chomper, but is gradually convinced to respect the latter.
Guido, voiced byRob Paulsen, is a tealMicroraptor who first appears inThe Land Before Time XII: The Great Day of the Flyers. He is convinced that he's the only one of his kind, having never seen another of his kind before. His origins are unknown, as he apparently has no idea what he is or where he came from. Though he tries to fly, he can only glide for a brief period of time. He reappears in the TV episode "The Hermit of Black Rock", in which he meets an old blind purpleHarpactognathus named Swooper (voiced by Jess Harnell) and learns to fly properly. Guido often appears neurotic or panicky at times, and easily confused.
Chomper's parents are featured in Chomper's first two film appearances. They are sexually dimorphic, with Chomper's father being dark green and his mother having an olive green color. They are very protective of their son, as when they invade the Great Valley to search for his egg inThe Land Before Time II: The Great Valley Adventure, and fighting to protect him inThe Mysterious Island. Although the two initially treat the protagonists as prey, they promise to spare them, as a reward for rescuing Chomper. They are unique among Sharpteeth as the audience is shown what they are saying viasubtitles. They entrust Ruby to take care of Chomper in the Great Valley after Red Claw separated them from their families.
Littlefoot's mother, voiced byHelen Shaver, dies in the first film to save Littlefoot and Cera from the Sharptooth pursuing them. Before her death, she is Littlefoot's teacher andcaregiver, and introduces the story's principal themes. After death, she appears as a ghost to reveal his destination. She is also shown in a flashback scene inThe Land Before Time X: The Great Longneck Migration.
Rhett (voiced byElizabeth Daily) is a new friend of Littlefoot's friend Ali, who is introduced in the TV series episode "The Brave Longneck Scheme". He initially had an arrogant personality and tried to pass himself off as a hero.
Tippy's mother (voiced by Susan Krebs) is a kindly femaleStegosaurus who invites Spike to spend time with her herd upon learning that he has been adopted by another species and has not spent time around his species. She later invites him to travel with the herd when they leave the Valley in search of food during the freeze. She and her son, together with their herd, reappear in the episode "The Forbidden Friendship".
Ruby's Family (both voiced byRob Paulsen,Nika Futterman) is a family ofOviraptors, who is first appeared in "The Star Day Celebration" and "Return to Hanging Rock".
Mrs. Twoped was an unseen friend of Tria around the time of Tricia's hatching. After Tricia ran for the very first time inThe Land Before Time XII: The Great Day of the Flyers, Tria remarked that she could not wait to tell Mrs. Twoped about it.
TheTinysauruses are an underground colony ofMussaurus who appear inThe Land Before Time XI: Invasion of the Tinysauruses.
