#1 hater, year two of the hater campaign continues. Is this one of those modern Canadian documentaries?

Ok so I haven't seen this since I was a kid, and I made it all the way through just fine, and then at the end you two chucklefucks go and just describe my entire experience after my sister died and now I've lost it 😆

This has always been one of my favorites as a kid! And in my opinion, aside from the first Jurassic Park, this is the best dinosaur film. Don Bluth is right up there with Disney when it comes to being part of my childhood. And he had no problem putting dark themes and heavy issues in his films. He did believe if you attach a happy ending to a film, then kids could handle anything. It was all about getting through those dark times and I love that. I know I’m going to get a lot of flack for this but, I think the death of Littlefoot’s mother is sadder than Mufasa. Now, I’m not saying that didn’t get to me too, but I used to sob in this. Not only did she save him and Cera from the Sharptooth and the fight itself is brutal, in the shadows you can see him take a big chunk from her back, but she also used her final words to comfort him. We’re with Littlefoot and his grief for quite some time. Yes, Simba had the tragedy and guilt and it’s handled very good, but immediately after getting away he meets Timon and Pumpa. That doesn’t happen to Littlefoot, he’s by himself and separated from the only family he has left, isn’t eating, forgot how to get to the Great Valley, thinks his own shadow is his mother and when he finally meets up with someone he knows and won’t be alone, she rejects him. It’s not until he meets Ducky that we see him smile and perk up. It’s not factual but I do believe the creators of The Lion King were inspired by this film. I absolutely love the scene with Rooter, the older dinosaur. He starts off so cold, but once he realizes what’s going on he instantly softens and gives him really great advice. I honestly think all children should watch that scene, because it’s important. It has always resonated with me and I know many others as well. And I got to say too, the way they shot the reveal of the Great Valley still gets me, they make it look so magical. Lastly and I hate to bring this up, but I do think it's necessary because she deserves to be discussed. The actress who did the voice of Ducky, Judith Barsi passed away 4 months before this film premiered. She, along with her mother were murdered by her father, who would 3 days later set fire to their house and take his own life. She was only 10 years old. At the time she was finishing the film All Dogs Go To Heaven, for that it was still in production and Don Bluth was able to honor her by incorporating Judith's real mannerisms to the character she plays in it and dedicated the theme song at the end to her. Her father was horribly abusive to her and her mother, he was also very jealous of her success which is just ridiculous to me. She was becoming quite a big child actress, she had been in numerous commercials and TV shows and Don Bluth was planning on including her in more of his projects. Her tombstone says "Yep Yep Yep" on it, this was her favorite role. It was just incredibly heartbreaking, she was so good in this too, part of the reason why Ducky is so lovable is because of her performance and to me she was the heart of the movie. The screen literally brightens when she's officially introduced. The way she immediately welcomed Spike into her family was so sweet and I love that her parents did the same. Ducky was always my favorite, I even named my green parakeet that I had when I was a kid after her. Again, sorry to be a downer but I just needed to mention it. You have to check out Don Bluth’s other films like An American Tail, All Dogs Go To Heaven, Anastasia and The Secret Of Nimh.

Omg, this took me back! I didn't remember the plot much but there were some very peculiar moments I remembered: -When Little Foot's mother grabs the only leaf in the tree and brings it down to him. I recalled the water dew/droplets on it. -When Little Foot was grieving his mother and not eating, I remembered the flying dinosaur gave him that really really red berry. -When Cera is cold and all alone and she moves to sleep close with her friends. This movie is a bit less fresh in my mind because I remember my mom thinking it was a bit too sad for a toddler/kid. So I didn't get to watch it much. I do remember the second movie the most tho!! Hopefully you guys check it out ^^
