Retro Trailer For The Animated Classic THE LAND BEFORE TIME; Relive The Nostalgic Prehistoric Magic
This week’s retro trailer is for the George Lucas and Steven Spielberg-produced, Don Bluth-directed animated film The Land Before Time. Damn, I loved this movie when I was a kid! Watching this trailer flooded my head with nostalgic memories and made some tears well up in my eyes. So, I rewatched the film for the first time since my kids were little, and it still holds up! This is an incredible movie!
I loved movies like that, that were gateways to worlds of wonder and adventure, and I thought it would be fun to hop into our cinematic time machine to revisit the original trailer that introduced us to the enchanting valleys, menacing predators, and unforgettable characters of this beloved classic.
The film transports us to a fantastical prehistoric world, following the journey of a young Apatosaurus named Littlefoot. After a devastating earthquake separates him from his family, Littlefoot embarks on a quest to find the fabled Great Valley, an untouched land of abundance and hope. Along the way, he befriends other young dinosaurs: the triceratops Cera, the saurolophus Ducky, the pteranodon Petrie, and the stegosaurus Spike. Together, they face numerous challenges, including predatory dinosaurs and natural hazards.
The film is a heartwarming tale of friendship, perseverance, and courage, as Littlefoot and his companions navigate the dangers of their world, learning valuable life lessons on their journey to a new home.
Enjoy the trailer!
