Produced by George Lucas and Steven Spielberg and directed by Don Bluth, The Land Before Time is the classic animated adventure first released in 1988. The film tells the story of Littlefoot, Cera, Spike, Ducky and Petrie “following them on their first journey together–an exciting quest to find the lush, legendary Great Valley. Along the way, the prehistoric pals overcome many challenges and learn the value of teamwork and friendship.”
