Disney’s Dinosaur is very similar to The Land Before Time by Don Bluth. Like the original Land Before Time, it’s not a musical, and it’s about dinosaurs heading to a safe haven where there is plenty of food and water for the dinosaurs to eat and drink, as well as safety from predators.! The main protagonist is an herbivorous dinosaur (Littlefoot is an Apatosaurus, and Aladar is an Iguanodon). They both have an herbivorous dinosaur character with an antagonistic side (Cera the Triceratops in The Land Before Time, Kron the Iguanodon in Dinosaur. The only difference between why they are antagonistic to the main protagonists is because the former is bigoted to other herbivorous dinosaurs outside her species and the latter is a social Darwinist who is rather brutish and extremely authoritative about keeping the herd he’s leading intact). They have carnivorous theropods playing as villains (Tyrannosaurus rex, referred to as a “sharptooth” in The Land Before Time, Carnotaurus and Velociraptor in Dinosaur. The only difference is that the Tyrannosaurus rex from the original Land Before Time is sadistic and evil, whilst being very athletic, and is only vengeful because Littlefoot the Apatosaurus accidentally injured his eye with a thorn, while the Carnotaurus and Velociraptor are just predators who need to eat in order to survive and have no malicious intent). The dinosaur characters team up to find food and water in both Dinosaur and The Land Before Time (in the original Land Before Time, four of the main dinosaur characters Spike, Petrie, Littlefoot and Ducky form a ladder to get leaves down from a tall tree, while Cera points and laughs at their attempt. I even included my Brachiosaurus and he was anxious rather than amused, likely because he said to his Parasaurolophus friend that he’s not going to take part in the ladder because he’s got a long neck. A few years ago, I got a DVD on The Land Before Time television series at Walmart and when I brought it to my mother’s former office in Bonita Springs, my Brachiosaurus got upset about one episode of the television series when Littlefoot and his gang were saving Dara the Diplodocus who is the lady friend of Doc the Diplodocus from the sixth Land Before Time film The Secret of Saurus Rock. He mistook their attempt for getting food and tried to muscle in. After I put the DVD away in my backpack, my Brachiosaurus broke down in tears because he didn’t get his way, and he told me that the gang of seven in the Land Before Time series are better than him. I argued that he’s far better than they are, because he can reach trees that no other dinosaurs can reach. In Dinosaur, Aladar the Iguanodon tells Baylene the Brachiosaurus to press down on the sand and she brings up the water for all of the dinosaurs to drink. Kron then bellows at the other dinosaurs in the herd and drinks first, even though he knows that the herd also needs to drink as well). Both of the carnivorous theropods die because the herbivorous dinosaur characters defeat them, likely because they killed a member of the character’s family (in the original Land Before Time, the Tyrannosaurus rex attacks Littlefoot the Apatosaurus and Cera the Triceratops and Littlefoot’s Mother saves them by slapping the carnivorous theropod with her tail. The Tyrannosaurus rex then jumps on top of Littlefoot’s Mother and tears a chunk out of her back and slashes neck. After the earthquake swallows up the Tyrannosaurus rex and separates Littlefoot and Cera from their families, Littlefoot finds his mother down to her last breath and talks to her about knowing the way to the Great Valley before she passes away. Later on, Littlefoot comes up with a plan to drown the Tyrannosaurus rex in a lake to avenge the death of his mother. Cera arrives just in time, and knocks the Tyrannosaurus rex into the lake by headbutting the boulder. Near the end of Dinosaur, after fighting with Aladar, Kron stubbornly climbs over the rocks and is pursued by the Carnotaurus, who bites him in the back and throws him against a rock, mortally wounding him. As Kron is down to his last breath, Aladar and his sister Neera defeat the Carnotaurus and avenge his death by forcing the theropod over to a sheer drop to its death). Both movies have the dinosaurs going to a safe haven where there is food and water and no predators and ends with the dinosaurs arriving to that aforementioned paradise (The Great Valley in The Land Before Time, the Nesting Grounds in Dinosaur, although it is stated in the book adaptation that the Nesting Grounds was too cold and too infertile for the dinosaurs to lay their eggs in winter and are evicted to the desert where they will spend their winter until spring. So The events of the movie takes place in spring when the dinosaurs are supposed to return to the Nesting Grounds). The very few differences between the two is that while Dinosaur had a love interest, The Land Before Time had one in the eleventh installment (I think that because Cera’s father Topps had the pink Triceratops Tria as his love interest and in the following film, Tria became his mate). The other difference is that while Littlefoot the Apatosaurus is an orphan due to his mother being mortally wounded by a vengeful Tyrannosaurus rex, Aladar the Iguanodon is adopted by lemurs after his biological mother fled during a Carnotaurus attack in a nesting ground, which ended when the abelisaurid ran down and killed a Pachyrhinosaurus. Those are the similarities between Dinosaur and The Land Before Time.
