The Land Before Time was the first movie I ever saw in the theater. I was between 6 and 7 years old. I remember the Pizza Hut commercials, and had this piece of shit LIttlefoot "puppet" that was so hard, it barely qualified as a functional puppet other than having a giant hole in its ass. I do remember the movie itself fucking me up as a kid. It probably also fucked any childhood aspirations I had as a paleontologist, but my interests held fast through Jurassic Park. Why they can't produce something simple and clean like either of those movies, I'll never understand. Movies don't have to be entirely spectacle. They need character. Not tropes on their own tropes. Mommy's angry.
