The Land Before Time XIV

Journey of the Brave (2016)

NARRATOR:
Long, long ago,

in the Land Before Time,

great beasts ruled the world.

These mighty beasts

were the dinosaurs.

Yes, it was a place of wonder,

but also filled with danger...

(ROARS)

...where survival was uncertain

and families were sometimes

torn apart.

(CROAKS)

Which is how the young

Longneck named Littlefoot

came to live with his grandmother,

grandfather,

and his close friends

in the beautiful Great Valley.

The perils of the world had

claimed his mother and

separated him from his father.

Then, a miraculous day came.

Littlefoot and his father,

Bron, were reunited.

During the time they were apart,

Bron had become

the leader of a large migrating herd.

This meant he couldn't stay

with Littlefoot in the Great Valley.

Bron wanted his son to join him,

and Littlefoot wanted

to be with his father,

but he also didn't want

to leave his home.

So Littlefoot made the tough decision

to stay with his grandfather,

grandmother and friends.

Now each year,

when the Season of New Growth

follows the Cold Time,

and the warm sunshine

falls softly on the Great Valley,

Littlefoot looks forward

to a visit from his father,

leading the great herd

on their yearly migration.

It's a reunion he dreams

about all year long.

And it will be happening today.

Oh, Petrie real sorry.

(CHIRPING)

(CHUCKLES)

Hello, little guy.

(LAUGHING)

(CHIRPING)

(CHIRPING)

And this is Spike,

(MOANS PLEASANTLY)

And me Petrie,

(LAUGHS)

(LAUGHS)

(CHIRPING)

(LOUD FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING)

Grandpa! Grandma!

Look, it's the hatchlings!

(MOANS)

Ah. What a special today

this is.

Today! I forgot.

Today's the day my dad comes back!

Great!

Special day!

We are so happy for you,

yes, we are.

Can we go watch

for him?

(LAUGHS) I thought

you might want to.

Come, Littlefoot.

Now, Grandpa,

keep an eye on the ice.

It's still slippery.

We will, Grandma.

Come on.

We're lucky to live

in such bounty, Littlefoot.

Not many of our kind do.

There they are!

My dad's herd!

You're right, Littlefoot.

But where's my dad?

I don't see him.

That is strange.

Bron is always

at the head of the herd.

I'm sure there's nothing

to worry about.

WILD ARMS:
Help!

Help!

Help!

Who's that?

We'd better

take a look.

(SCREAMING)

Help!

Oh, I'm safe.

Am I really here?

Somebody pinch me,

please.

No! Not you!

No. Not you. (LAUGHS)

I'll pinch myself.

Ow! Ouch.

Why did I do that?

And you are?

I, uh... Well, everybody

calls me Wild Arms,

though I never really figured out why.

Oh. (LAUGHS)

That makes so much sense now!

What happened, Wild Arms?

Aw, I mean what didn't happen?

The earth shook

and spit liquid fire.

And the heat...

Like you've never seen before!

But, it's too upsetting

to talk about.

But if you must know,

it all started with a horrible boom!

The Fire Mountain exploded.

It just blew its top.

Fire everywhere you looked.

There was no escape.

And the Longnecks, oh,

they were hit the hardest.

Let me tell you,

their leader was brave.

He wouldn't leave

any of us behind,

even though he was in danger.

I only escaped thanks

to my superior grace and agility.

The leader is my dad.

Who?

Bron.

Oh, yes, yes, that's him!

Bron!

What a brave Longneck he was.

Ooh.

Er... Is.

Uh, is!

'Cause he's still is...

He still is... I'm sure.

What happened to him?

I don't know. I lost sight of him

at the Fire Mountain.

He's in trouble?

Grandpa, we have to help him.
