Editing Pooh's Adventures of The Land Before Time/Transcript (section)

==On Their Own==

[Night falls and rain starts falling. Pooh and the others got themselves out the rubble from the earthquake]

* '''Tigger:''' Whew, the brain boggles. I thought it never stopped.
* '''Piglet:''' That is the strongest earthquake I have ever felt.
* '''Eeyore:''' Yep. But at least we survived, after Sharptooth almost ate us.
* '''Rabbit:''' Is everyone alright? Tigger's here. Eeyore's here. Piglet's here. Pooh's here. I'm here. Hmm...who am I forgetting?
* '''Littlefoot:''' (OS) Pooh! Guys, are you out there?
* '''Winnie the Pooh:''' Over here, Littlefoot!
* '''Littlefoot:''' (turns and sees Pooh and the others and rushes to them.) Pooh!
* '''Winnie the Pooh:''' Are you quite alright, Littlefoot?
* '''Littlefoot:''' I'm alright, But I was hoping you'd be okay. That earthshake was really bad.
* '''Tigger:''' Tell us about it. Those things are dangerous.
* '''Littefoot:''' Have you seen mother?
* '''Rabbit:''' We thought she was with you.
* '''Littlefoot:''' We got seperated. I hope she's okay.
* '''Winnie the Pooh:''' Don't worry Littlefoot. We'll help you find her.
* '''Rabbit:''' Come on! Let's find Mrs. Longneck. And make sure she's alright.

(The group made their way down the ledge as fast as they could. When they got to the bottom, they had to maneuver over broken rocks, and jump from one ledge to another. The rain showed them no mercy, making the ground slippery, and their vision obscure. It came down from the sky in torrents with no signs of letting up. Littlefoot, Pooh and Pals became soaked to the bone, cold, and miserable. But they still continued their search. All they could focus on was finding the young Apatosaurus's mother.)

* '''Littlefoot:''' [looking for his mother] Mother! 
* '''Tigger:''' Mrs, Longneck!
* '''Winnie the Pooh:''' Mrs. Longneck!
* '''Rabbit:''' Mrs. Longneck!
* '''Eeyore:''' Mrs. Longneck! Mrs. Longneck?
* '''Winnie the Pooh:''' Mrs. Longneck!
* '''Tigger:''' Mrs. Longneck!
* '''Rabbit:''' Mrs. Longneck!
* '''Littefoot:''' Mother! [still no answer; he jumps over a small gap] Mother, where are you?

(Piglet saw something move against the dark grayness of the clouds. He saw something large draped over an outcrop of rocks.)

* '''Littlefoot's Mother''': Oh.
* '''Piglet:''' Pooh, Littlefoot, everyone! She's over there!
* '''Rabbit:''' (sees Littlefoot's mother) That's it! Come on! Let's go!
* '''Eeyore:''' Missed her again.

(The six friends quickly ran over to the fallen Apatosaurus. She groaned weakly as she heard them approach.)

* '''Littlefoot:''' [sees his mother who is injured from the fight] Mother! Mother? Please get up.
* '''Littlefoot's Mother:''' [weakly] I'm....! I am not sure if I can, Littlefoot.
* '''Littlefoot:''' Yes, you can. Get up.

[She tries to get up as her son asks. But a few seconds later, she falls back down due to her injuries.]

* '''Rabbit:''' (gasps)
* '''Winnie the Pooh:''' Oh, goodness!
* '''Piglet:''' Oh no!
* '''Littlefoot's Mother:''' Dear, sweet Littlefoot? Do you remember...? ...the way to the Great Valley?
* '''Littlefoot''': [sniffs; cries] I guess so. But how do I know if you are going to be with me?
* '''Littlefoot's Mother''': I'll be with you. Even if you can't see me.
* '''Littlefoot:''' [confused; cries] What do you mean I can't see you? I can always see you.
* '''Littlefoot's Mother''': [with her last spoken words] Littlefoot, let your heart guide you. [uses the last of her strength] It whispers, so listen closely.
* '''Littlefoot:''' [voice breaks into serious tears as his mother dies] Mother? Mother?
* '''Rabbit:''' (sadly) Oh no.

(Everyone turned sad that Littefoot's mother is long gone. Tears rolled down on Littlefoot's face and he felt as if his heart had broken in two. He didn't notice the rain anymore. All he could think of was that his mother was dead, and that it was his fault. If he hadn't wandered off, he wouldn't have run into Sharptooth, and that monster wouldn't have hurt her. Pooh and Pals cried as well)

* '''Tigger:''' (sobbing wiping the tears from his eyes with his tail and gives it to Rabbit.) Here you go R-Rabbit.
* '''Rabbit:''' (sobbing) Thank you Tigger.
* '''Winnie the Pooh:''' (in tears) It must've been very sad.
* '''Rabbit:''' (sobbing) Well of course it's sad.
* '''Piglet:''' (crying.)
* '''Winnie the Pooh:''' We're ever so sorry. Littlefoot.
* '''Littlefoot:''' Thank you Pooh. (nuzzles on Pooh's tummy as he comfort him in a hug.)
* '''Tigger:''' And we only just met her.
* '''Rabbit:''' (sadly) We all did.

(Everyone began to walk away there's nothing more they can do to Littlefoot's mother now that she died. Pooh and Littlefoot stayed for a few minutes. Before walking away. Pooh stop and watches Littlefoot walked sadly away catching up to the others. Got him thinking about the same thing what happened back in the Pride Lands. Looking at Littlefoot's mother's body one last time.)

* '''Winnie the Pooh:''' Oh, this is like what Scar did to Mufasa all over again.
(Then Pooh begins to walk away to catch up to his friends. The next day as the rain stops Pooh and Pals and Littlefoot trudges down a steep sand hill crying his heart out. He stumbles and then tumbles to the bottom of the hill, finally landing on a large, strange, spiked rock. They tried to get get themselves up.)

* '''Piglet:''' Funny, I didn't this rock is this soft..
* '''Rabbit:''' Wait a minute, rocks are not soft.

(Suddenly the rock lifts up and becomes a very old spiked, turtle-like Dino, named “Rooter.”)
*'''Rooter:''' Hey! What's going on here? [hears Littlefoot crying] What's your problem? You're not hurt. [he wants to know why Littlefoot is crying]
*'''Littlefoot:''' [tearfully; in serious anger] It's not fair! She should have knew better. That was Sharptooth. It is all her fault.
*'''Rooter:''' All whose fault?
*'''Littlefoot:''' [tearfully answers Rooter's question] Mother's.
*'''Winnie the Pooh:''' You see, yesterday we were attack by a Sharptooth.
*'''Piglet:''' And Littlefoot's mother died by fighting him. Sacrificing herself to save us.
*'''Winnie the Pooh:''' And he feels terribly heartbroken.
*'''Tigger:''' So, he's already been hurt by that moment.
*'''Rooter''': [but soon understands why Littlefoot is crying] Oh. I see. I see.
*'''Littlefoot:''' Why did I wander so far from home?
*'''Rabbit:''' (sadly) It's not your fault Littlefoot. We could've helped her.
*'''Eeyore:''' Should've done that when we had the chance.
*'''Rooter:''' Oh, it's not any of your faults. It's not your mother's fault, either. Now, you all pay attention to ol' Rooter. It is nobody's fault. The Great Circle of Life has begun. 
*'''Winnie the Pooh:''' The Great Circle of Life? You mean to say this is all part of the Circle of Life?
*'''Rooter:''' Yes. But you see, not all of us arrive together at the end.
*'''Littlefoot:''' What'll I do? I am going to miss her so much.
*'''Rooter:'''  And you might always miss her. But she'll always be with you, as long as you remember the things she taught you. In a way, you'll never be apart, for you are still part of each other.
*'''Littlefoot:''' My tummy hurts.
*'''Rooter:''' Well, that, too, should go in time, little fella. Only in time. 
*'''Rabbit:''' Thanks for the advice Rooter. We will try our best. 
*'''Tigger:''' This is hard time for Littlefoot. But we'll take good care of him until he finds his grandparents.
*'''Rooter:''' I'm sure you all will. [departs]
(Roother snorts, turns and lumbers off, leaving Winnie the Pooh, Piglet, Tigger, Rabbit, Eeyore, and the sad little Littlefoot. Scene fades out to the next scene to the berry Hanging from the branch of a tree. A baby Pterodactyl flies into frame and plucks the berry, losing his balance, and tumbling backward onto a branch. Other baby Pterodactyls appear. They all become engaged in mischievous games of hide-and-seek and tag, jostling for control of the berry. In a lineup, the first Dac heads back into the hollow tree trunk, only to have the berry snatched from his hands by the Dac behind him, and so on, and so on, down to the last Dac in line, who was the original finder of the berry. We PAN with the baby Dac as he wanders past the entrance to the hollow tree trunk, down onto the ground near Littlefoot. Pooh and Pals still feels for him.)

* '''Tigger:''' Oh, poor little guy. I can't stand it he's so lonesome. He couldn't stop thinking about his mother.
* '''Piglet:''' Oh, he does seem very sad.
* '''Tigger:''' He's more than sad! He's misra-b-b-ble!
* '''Winnie the Pooh:''' Perhaps we should do a little something to make him feel better?
* '''Eeyore:''' I doubt it. Probably make him feel worse.
* '''Rabbit:''' I say we give him more time.
* '''Narrator'''<span>: </span>At first, Littlefoot could only think about his mother. Even though he had Pooh and his friends to comfort him. He hardly noticed his hunger and forgot about the Great Valley and that he must somehow reach it.

(Seeing Littlefoot’s sadness, the baby Dac, in sympathy, offers his treasured berry to the despondent dinosaur. He pushes it closer and closer, in an attempt to get Littlefoot to accept the gift. Littlefoot turns his head away and won't accept the berry. The scene fades to a shimmering, dew-covered tree star flows gently on the breeze, finding its way down among the monoliths, searching for the tiny dinosaur, lost and alone. The spirit of Mother comes to remind Littlefoot of his promise to her.)
*'''Littlefoot's Mother'''<span>: </span>Littlefoot.
(Littlefoot snuggling in the impression of one of Mother’s large footprints. He misses her. He doesn’t understand where she has gone.)
*'''Winnie the Pooh:''' Oh, Littlefoot. I know we just met. And we know you're upset and scared. But we just want you to know that you're not alone. You still have us.
*'''Tigger:''' That's right kiddo. We know how hard it is to lose the ones you love. Because we know someone who went through the same thing once.
(Littlefoot looks at his new friend in surprise.)
*'''Rabbit:''' The point is bad things happen and there's nothing we can do about it.
*'''Winnie the Pooh:''' We still have to find a way to get to the Great Valley. To find your grandparents. So until then we'll be your family for now.
*'''Piglet:''' And don't worry going to get you to the Great Valley and back to your grandparents. I'm sure they're on their way right now.
*'''Eeyore:''' Yep. There's no doubt about it.
*'''Winnie the Pooh:''' So just stick with us. And we'll all be together. Or my name isn't Winnie the Pooh. Which it is.
*'''Rabbit:''' And we are not going to let anything happen to you. Promise.
*'''Littlefoot:''' Thanks guys.
(Suddenly, the area is illuminated as the tree star comes to rest in the print near him.)
*'''Littlefoot's Mother''': Littlefoot.
*'''Piglet:''' What was that?
*'''Tigger:''' Say, is that...
*'''Littlefoot:''' The tree star mother gave me.
*'''Rabbit:''' But, how?
(Littlefoot cautiously walked over to the tree-star. In the center of the leaf, water collected to make some kind of mirror. He looked in it and saw his refection.)
*'''Littlefoot's Mother:''' Dear Littlefoot, (Littlefoot's eyes widened in shock and he jerked back for a moment. Pooh and Pals were also surprise.) do you remember the way to the Great Valley? Follow the bright circle past the great rock that looks like a long-neck and past the mountains that burn. I'll be in your heart, Littlefoot. Let your heart guide you.
*'''Winnie the Pooh:''' Hmm. It's a rather puzzlesome thing, but it's almost as if she had never left us. But that can't be, can it? Or, can it?
*'''Rabbit:''' Well one thing's for sure. She will always be inside your heart Littlefoot.
*'''Winnie the Pooh:''' Yes, and she did said something about follow the bright circle. Past the great rock that looks like a long-neck and past the mountains that burn.
*'''Piglet:''' Mountains that burn? That would mean we have to past the volcanos.
*'''Tigger''': Yeah, we should've known these adventures have always got volcanos in them.
*'''Eeyore:''' Well we can't stay here for too long.
*'''Rabbit:''' You're right Eeyore. Well if we're going to find the Great Valley. Then we better get going.
*'''Winnie the Pooh:''' Then off to the Great Valley we go.
(Finally, with a deep sigh, Littlefoot took the tree-star in his mouth and put it onto his back. Then the six friend head out towards west. Atop a rock, gazing at a mountain wall. His shadow appears on the wall, looming large enough to make him momentarily believe it’s his Mother.) 

* '''Littlefoot'''<span class="">: </span>Mother. Mother! Hee hee hee!
* Rabbit: Littlefoot!
* Piglet: Littlefoot, wait!

(He happily races off the rock towards the shadow, remembering his Mother. Pooh and the others chase after him.)

* '''Littlefoot'''<span class="">: </span>Mother! Heh heh! It's you! Wait, Mother! Wait! 

(But as he approaches the mountain wall, the shadow shrinks, until it is his size. He licks it, rubs against it (like a kitten). He then realizes it is only his shadow. After a time, he reverently picks up the tree star, and with a longing glance back, sets off in the direction of the setting sun.)
*'''Tigger'''<span class="">: </span>(sighs sadly.) You just chased your own shadow kiddo.
*'''Rabbit:''' It’s going to be alright Littlefoot she said she’ll always be with you even if you can’t see her.
*'''Littlefoot:''' I know. But I miss her.
*'''Winnie the Pooh:''' I know Littlefoot. But we want to help you reach the Great Valley. We now know how harsh this world can be. We don't want to lose anyone else. We don't want to lose you.
*'''Piglet:''' And if there's anything else you want to talk about. You can always come to us anytime.
*'''Littlefoot:''' Okay.
*'''Narrator'''<span>: </span>Then, Littlefoot knew for certain that he was alone and that though he had Pooh and Pals to keep him company and the Great Valley was far away and the journey there was perilous, he'd have to find his way, or the chain of life would be broken.
(Luckily For at that moment, Littlefoot, Pooh and Pals spotted someone familiar nearby.)
*'''Littlefoot'''<span class="">: </span>Cera!
*'''Piglet:''' Cera! Hooray!
*'''Rabbit and Tigger:''' Oh my, Oh my, Oh my! She's safe!
*'''Tigger:''' Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo!
*'''Eeyore:''' Hooray. How wonderful.
(The gang raced toward the lost Triceratops. Relieved that Cera appeared just in time.)
*'''Littlefoot:''' Cera, hello.
*'''Cera'''<span class="">: </span>What do you want?
*'''Piglet:''' Nothing, we're just happy to see that you're alright.
*'''Winnie the Pooh:''' Where you going Cera?
*'''Cera'''<span class="">: </span>l'm going to find my own kind. They're on the other side.
*'''Littlefoot'''<span class="">: We've looked all over here. </span>You can't climb up the other side.
*'''Rabbit:''' Yeah, that earthshake did caused a lot of destruction.
*'''Piglet:''' And it's so very high. And I'm so very very not high.
*'''Winnie the Pooh:''' I'm afraid I'm better at down than up.
*'''Tigger:''' (gulps) Climbing canyons is not what Tiggers do best.
*'''Cera'''<span class="">: </span>Maybe you all can't. Uhh! Uhh!
*'''Littlefoot'''<span class="">: Wait, we're </span>going to the Great Valley. We could... help each other.
*'''Winnie the Pooh:''' Would you like to come with us, Cera?
*'''Cera'''<span class="">: </span>Ha! A three-horn--Uhh!--does not need help from a long-neck. Nor from a bear. [Gasp] Aah!
(Cera stuck horn up in the air again and kicked some dirt up into Littlefoot's face. That act of defiance immediately backfired on her. She slipped on the slick ground and slid down the ramp into the darker pit below. Littlefoot and Pooh and Pals watched as Cera screamed and nearly disappeared into the blackness of the cavern.)
*'''Littlefoot'''<span class="">: </span>W-well, at least we wouldn't be alone.
*'''Cera'''<span class="">: </span>Well, when I find my sisters, I won't be alone. So, go away. Three-horns can be very dangerous. They only talk with other three-horns, and they only travel with other three-horns.
*'''Eeyore:''' It figures.
*'''Tigger:''' Oh, who wants that stubborn three-horn anyways?
*'''Rabbit:''' Well, if that's what she wants then so be it.
*'''Winnie the Pooh:''' Come on.
(The six friends walked away from the gorge. It was clear that they weren't going to get anywhere but walking along the ridge. The best thing they could do was head west.)
