Continuity mistake: When Petri fell into the tar pit, there were two dinosaur skeletons, one on each side. When Spike, Ducky and Littlefoot went to rescue him, the skeletons were gone.
The Land Before Time (1988)
Directed by: Don Bluth
Starring: Pat Hingle, Helen Shaver, Judith Barsi, Gabriel Damon
Continuity mistake: When Petri is lifted up the tree to pull down leaves, he only pulls down a little bit. Then when he falls out of the tree, the ground is covered with leaves and the tree looks bare.
Audio problem: Littlefoot's lips don't move when he says "Cera, you came back." while pushing the boulder on the Sharptooth.
Ducky: The tree is talking.
Littlefoot: No it isn't.
Ducky: You should not eat talking trees. Nope, nope nope.
Narrator: All that remained of his herd was his mother, grandmother and his grandfather. He knew them by sight, by scent, and by their love. He knew they would be together, always.
Narrator: Littlefoot had been wrong about the Sharptooth, but the others followed him. They're only hope was to reach the Great Valley, and Littlefoot alone knew the way.
Question: How did Littlefoot's mother die, when she had so few injuries, but the Sharptooth lived after falling the height it fell. At this point in the movie a earthquake happens, splitting the earth open, and creating cliffs. Littlefoot's mother threw the Sharptooth off of the cliff to save Cera and Littlefoot's lives. But falling of a cliff wouldn't just knock you out, it would kill you. The Sharptooth had no ill effects from the fall, except for being knocked out.
Question: How did Littlefoot, Ducky, Petire, and Spike get out of the tar?
Answer: We are not shown how they got out of the tar.
Question: Why was Cera so mean to Littlefoot?
Answer: Remember her father tells her that the three horns never play with longnecks, so she probably just wants to be with her own kind.

Chosen answer: Littlefoot's mother has obvious grievous wounds on her neck and back. She also quite possibly has internal injuries as well. It's also possible that Sharptooth had many injuries as well, but was able to heal better or just fought through the pain because of hunger. Or perhaps he fell in ways that lessened injuries.
