The shot of Littlefoot's mother fighting the one eye (Sharptooth) while the ground explodes around them from the earthquake, was one of the most amazing animated shots i have ever seen since the stampede from lion king.
Yes as a kid The Lion King and The Land Before Time both were the most powerful, emotional and epic films i saw. I loved them both, both made me feel so nostalgic and melancholic, and those films had elements of fantasy and magic in their plot.
@@showmeyourmammaryglands3519 Couldn't have said it better. Both films are such absolute masterpieces! The scores for both movies just elevated them even further.
9:53 "In this time of the clashing of continents, a great earthquake split the land. Herds were divided. Families were cut in two. Littlefoot was separated from his grandparents."
I don't know, how is it possible that you can feel so much just by listening to this, of all songs in this movie, this one catches me the most, it feels like you're living this battle and the earthquake. Just amazing
In a way that im older i actually appreciate this scene a lot more, I think it's fing brilliant how they conspired sharptooth and an earthquake sequence at the same time with an amazing soundtrack. there's was not a dull moment, i love the disney films but Bluth was not afraid to explore the darker more mature side of animation.
I for one think that all of Bluth’s initial filmography should’ve been rated PG. I don’t care how much of a monetary death sentence it meant back then, childhood me was so traumatized by this film that I only watched the sequels and didn’t revisit this film until I was a teenager.
@@GabyGeorge1996 I watched this at 4 or 5 years old and the sharptooth didn't scare me but the thing i used to hate for being a child was that actually the movie really touched my soul and broke my heart due it's a very powerful emotional film. I didn't cry at the dead of the mother but it made me so sad because at that age you are very close to your mother so that made me feel identified with the character and the movie 'cause i loved my mom. That's why as a kid i used to "hate" the movie but i actually loved it and i just hated it 'cause as a child you are more sensitive and you don't like to watch those brutal things.

When I was a little boy my grandmother used to take me to the mall in a neighboring town. Back in the late 80s and early 90s it had a movie theater. About once a month or so she would take me shopping, buy me a toy, and then to the movies or dinner afterwards. I remember vaguely her taking me to see this when I was 3 years old (I have an insane long term memory). Every time I hear this score or see this movie or any late 80s early 90s kids movies it takes me right back to our trips to the mall. I can remember the theater clear as day almost. Land Before Time, American Tail, Aladdin, etc..

8:05 Sharptooth has jumped on top of Littlefoot's mother, and as Littlefoot and Cera watch in horror, Sharptooth takes a real bite out of Littlefoot's mother's back. If one compares the full soundtrack to the music heard in the final scene, there's abrupt changes in the soundtrack in the scene that occur due to editing after the movie was scored.

McDonalds, i think, ad for some LBT toys?! I'm not kidding
Heh... I just watched the fifth movie because nostalgia, and it just hit me that just prior to the scene where Chomper shows up, they play the opening notes of Sharptooth's theme. A nice call-back.
My favorite bit of trivia is that if you look at the VHS cover of “Great Valley Adventure”, you can see that the artwork they used for Chomper’s dad is actually taken from the Model sheet for the first film’s Sharptooth. Also in the sixth movie the leitmotif from 6:57-7:01 plays while Littlefoot is being chased through the canyon by the Allosaurus and runs into (the ghost?) of a Sharptooth implied to be the one from the first movie.
Even as of today, I'm still not scared of Sharptooth, primarily I wasn't scared of Shaptooth as a kid, but the dark bits of music still gave me goosebumps plus a chill in my spine (that is between 5:15-5:58 and the part where Sharptooth gets stabbed in the eye by a thorn at 7:05-7:12, this part also got me a bit of a chill because it was so graphic, at least it did not show any blood)
Sharptooth… a ferocious Tyrannosaurus Rex dead set on eating anyone it sees… a simple concept for a villain, but really effective in this movie! i would not be surprised if he gave kids nightmares back in the day!
My heart always broke when those church bell tolls chimed because I knew what was coming next. It's one of those sounds that you just KNOW that something BAD is going to happen, is happening, or has happened.
Until the minute 6:00 almost all the parts of song have a slightly background of bad omen... they were really close to the disaster yet and you can feel it... masterpiece
Sharptooth's BEHAVIOR IS a bit devilish. He's the most persistent T-Rex that I've ever seen. He gets jabbed in the eye, flung up against a wall (twice by LittleFoot's mother), falls down a FREAKING CAVERN that God only knows how far he fell, and woke up as if he was only taking a nap, it's a T-Rex that doesn't quit... Besides Sharptooth APPEARANCE wise... devilish... they toned down the look of sharptooth during later movies, but this guy gave me chills when I was younger, and occasionally he gave me nightmares. not any other T-Rex, but this one...
No one can have a higher opinion of the tyrant lizard king then I have. And I HATE IT WHEN HOLLYWOOD MAKES THE TYRANNOSAURUS REX INTO A MONSTROUS, BLOODTHIRSTY, COLD/BLACK-HEARTED ARROGANT, DISGRACEFUL, DISGUSTING, DESPICABLE, STUPID VILLAIN!

a moment of silence, for those who wore earbuds during this video, and were unaware of the dramatic impacts used toward the end of this soundtrack... and little-foot's mother.
I was 4 or 5 and had to leave the cinema after the scene where he was trying to look for the dead mum in his shadow... I started crying and my dad had to take me home.. this soundtrack!
CU Movie Buff A fair bit. Before the soundtrack was made, the scene in the swamp had some longer shots and Sharptooth attacked the bush (you can find pictures from that if you look) and right before the Earthquake about 10 seconds were cut, which is where the mother gained her neck wound (visible later in the scene). I've done a bunch of videos on this if you want to learn more.
god, listening to this will always make me feel a collection of emotions i can’t even begin to describe. i really don’t think there’s any words in any language to describe the feeling i get when i hear that choir start, it’s just such an emotional and nostalgic piece for me. every time i hear it my entire childhood comes rushing back and i cant help but wish more than anything that i could return to it because my life now has become so horrid. every time i hear any piece of music from these movies i cant help but begin to sob, truly the most breathtaking soundtrack i’ve ever heard in my lifetime :’)
Despite me being born just 9 years after the theatrical release, this was probably either the first or second movie to introduce me to the concept of loss, next to the Lion King. Can't exactly remember which movie I saw first, but judging by the fact that I have been seeking psychiatric attention for so long, I imagine this movie came first to SCAR me *Comedic drum roll*.
... Are you sure it wasn't something else, Littlefoot? Something a little more, significant than Charlotte? How do you even know what Charlotte's Web is? How are you even talking to me, right now?... oh wait... you never grow old you immortal excuse for a sauropod!
As a child it was exciting to watch the movie, I was sad when my mother died, I never understood what she meant by "follow your heart". As an adult, a lot of things are clear and the film shows what is important in life, this is very strange and beautiful at the same tim.
There are parts of this beautiful soundtrack that were cut out and didn't end up in the movie, providing a further example about how the LBT was edited right before its release. So unfortunate, so much we are not able to see...maybe one day Don Bluth will be able to give us the uncut version.
Its wierd because the movie was cut up because some scenes where too scary for kids it really makes you wonder HOW THAT SCENE made it in i can only imagine what the cuts where like
the shot of littlefoots mother fighting the one eye sharptooth the from the earthquake was one the most amazing animated shots i have ever seen since the hogwarts castle dogs from harry potter & the socererors stone
You know that they use the same music on all of The Land Before Time movies? because when I was watching the rest of them, I hear the same music from the first one. And I like it a whole lot.
I listen to this, its my child hood, now when listening, i see how bad my life has become, i have no meaning in it anymore and alll i can remember is my childhood and how everything was as a dream, its all kadskd dsa,.
@@MiraSmit I have heard that they might one day bring the original Sharptooth along with "Red Claw" back in one of the new upcoming Land before Time Movies "The Land Before Time: Journey to Sharptooth Mountain", (also known as The Land Before Time XV: Journey to Sharptooth Mountain) is an upcoming 2020/2021 official direct-to-video animated family adventure feature film and the fifteenth film in The Land Before Time series. The film will be directed by Davis Doi. Like all the other Land Before Time movies, it is traditionally-animated.
Why is Ducky and Spike so close in color? Where is Littlefoot? Spike's and Chomper's tails have also both been removed. I love everything about The Land Before Time.
Spike's and Chomper's tails are simply tucked behind them, not removed. It's an illusion. I've noticed the same effect sometimes when photographing my cats. Littlefoot probably is there and this is simply his POV.
No doubt that Don Bluth was inspired by the great Wolfgang Reitherman’s animation of the fight between Tyrannosaurus Rex and Stegosaurus in the segment The Rite of the Spring in Fantasia.

Took the words right out of my mouth
This really is one of his more underappreciated scores. He did some very good work with Don Bluth (as did Jerry Goldsmith on The Secret if NIMH).
It's odd how everyone is here except Littlefoot, I mean....he's the main character.
Even Chomper is here.

Despite me being born just 9 years after the theatrical release, this was probably either the first or second movie to introduce me to the concept of loss, next to the Lion King. Can't exactly remember which movie I saw first, but judging by the fact that I have been seeking psychiatric attention for so long, I imagine this movie came first to SCAR me *Comedic drum roll*.
I was actually scarred the most by the death of Charlotte in Charlotte's Web.
... Are you sure it wasn't something else, Littlefoot? Something a little more, significant than Charlotte? How do you even know what Charlotte's Web is? How are you even talking to me, right now?... oh wait... you never grow old you immortal excuse for a sauropod!
I have Ash Ketchum Syndrome. It will wear off when they figure out what to do about Chomper.
You talking about me?
I do actually.
Grandpa: Ignatius
Grandma: Irene
Father: Bron
Mother: Arianna
Uncle; Kaha
Wife: Ali
Children: Thunderfoot and Arianna II
7:10 I can still hear littlefoot and cera's screams
Me too.
Abonzabay same!
As a child it was exciting to watch the movie, I was sad when my mother died, I never understood what she meant by "follow your heart". As an adult, a lot of things are clear and the film shows what is important in life, this is very strange and beautiful at the same tim.
There are parts of this beautiful soundtrack that were cut out and didn't end up in the movie, providing a further example about how the LBT was edited right before its release. So unfortunate, so much we are not able to see...maybe one day Don Bluth will be able to give us the uncut version.
Do you know which segments from this track were cut from the film?
I hope he shows the uncut Pebble And The Penguin one day
Its wierd because the movie was cut up because some scenes where too scary for kids it really makes you wonder HOW THAT SCENE made it in i can only imagine what the cuts where like
the shot of littlefoots mother fighting the one eye sharptooth the from the earthquake was one the most amazing animated shots i have ever seen since the hogwarts castle dogs from harry potter & the socererors stone
This gives me chills holy shit
You know that they use the same music on all of The Land Before Time movies? because when I was watching the rest of them, I hear the same music from the first one. And I like it a whole lot.
Yeah this was used a lot after the first LBT movie until LBT 9
This original movie is the only one that exists to me
I listen to this, its my child hood, now when listening, i see how bad my life has become, i have no meaning in it anymore and alll i can remember is my childhood and how everything was as a dream, its all kadskd dsa,.
"Chomper as an adult Sharptooth vs the Sharptooth (with the scar on one of his eye's) from the first "Land Before Time" film! Who would win?"
Chomper!!
By then Sharptooth is dead lol. He drowned. But if he would still be alive he'd be way past his prime.
@@MiraSmit I have heard that they might one day bring the original Sharptooth along with "Red Claw" back in one of the new upcoming Land before Time Movies "The Land Before Time: Journey to Sharptooth Mountain", (also known as The Land Before Time XV: Journey to Sharptooth Mountain) is an upcoming 2020/2021 official direct-to-video animated family adventure feature film and the fifteenth film in The Land Before Time series. The film will be directed by Davis Doi. Like all the other Land Before Time movies, it is traditionally-animated.
@@jamieolberding7731 I just hope they won't fuck it up...
Those Original Sharptooth is the most terrible and darkest moment, right?
You can say that again.
Russell Vawter but in the tv show, they just funny to look at.
Sad isn't it?
Funny thing, Sharptooth didn't scare me, even when I was little.
The earthquake, on the other hand...
Why is Ducky and Spike so close in color? Where is Littlefoot? Spike's and Chomper's tails have also both been removed. I love everything about The Land Before Time.
Spike's and Chomper's tails are simply tucked behind them, not removed. It's an illusion. I've noticed the same effect sometimes when photographing my cats. Littlefoot probably is there and this is simply his POV.
Yea spike was more purple/brown
Wow, I've seen this movie so many times when I was younger that I can just imagine the scenes by only hearing the music... now that's nostalgia. :')
I hear those 'eartquakes' can be really dangerous ;)
8:32 still one of the most intense scenes in cinema to this day.
7:05-10:40 such powerful part of the music track. Absolutely love it! James we miss you. ❤
No doubt that Don Bluth was inspired by the great Wolfgang Reitherman’s animation of the fight between Tyrannosaurus Rex and Stegosaurus in the segment The Rite of the Spring in Fantasia.
The beginning of this music quotes the first bars of Debussy's Nocturne for orchestra n.1!
Finally! Someone noticed! :D
Could also be a Dies Irae reference :3
Oh, interesting idea! I always thought it quoted "Aquarium" from "Carnival Of The Animals". :-) That makes sense, too, I suppose.
That Earthquake was terrifying
A herd of dinosaurs casually falling to their deaths at the bottom of the screen when the ground gives way beneath them
the feels....
8:00 best part
I remeber watching this when i was only little kid brings me back loads of memories :")
3:03 this is the one part I remember the most
between 7:38 and 8:00, this part of the music isnt even heard during the first movie (though it is still heard in 2 and 6).
0:31, I always tear up when I hear this, just like I used to when I was little, so long ago...
2:40-3:14 the kids are missing. Land before time 5 - the mysterious island
I wish there was Behind the scenes footage of this music being made.
Help! MOTHER!!
+Leopard Gecko Productions its part of the movie.
Its a quote from the movie, guy.
I can kinda hear the Titanic soundtrack at some moments of this.
And Prometheus aswell
Yes! I heard it in 7:03
The start of it is the same as the Trex scene in Fantasia
Plays In:
The Land Before Time (1988)
The Time Of The Great Giving (1995)
Journey Through The Mists (1996)
The Mysterious Island (1997)
The Secret Of Saurus Rock (1998)
Where is Littlefoot in this picture? Btw thanks for making this video! I love this theme!
@6:14 Im a 41yo woman crying like a child of nostalgia. Missing my childhood… my mom… my dad that had passed away 10 years ago and brought me to the cinema to watch this movie…
6:06 Cera screamed, "Sharptooth!"
And we meet the villain
Russell Vawter RUN!!!!
DON'T WORRY I AM! BESIDES IT'S NOT THE REX I'M WORRIED ABOUT!
Russell Vawter SO WHAT IS?!
IT'S THE EARTHQUAKE THAT I'M REALLY WORRIED ABOUT!
5:52 Sharptooth 🦖🦕
SHARPTOOH!
+Grant gamez And to think that T-Rex was voiced by Frank Welker, AKA Fred Jones and Megatron.
Grant gamez RUN!!!!
@@Visitormassacre yeah
@@jackiegonzalez6814 yikes
@Skye Izumi oh my
"A Treeeee Starrrr!!!!"
Parts of this track remind me of Harry Potter a little.
9:48 was used for the previews to the movie The Shadow.
I noticed that as well.
Wow, you’re right.
6:06: Ichy: Lookie what I got, Dil.
Love you James Horner
I’m 31 it’s been years since I’ve seen TLBT. And yet, I was left un phased by the scene and always appreciated Horner’s score. I’ve seen more traumatizing heroic sacrifices in animation!
i love the bit at 9:35
I hated this movie as a kid because it made me cry, but I love the movie now
6:07 Littlefoot: Oh no! Big water!
I can definitely hear how it got cut down a few parts. The sound track here is slightly longer than the actual movie scenes.
Not Eartquake; Earthquake. It is actually called Earth Shake.
