The Land Before Time XIII: The Wisdom of Friends (2007)
NARRATOR:
Our world has existed for billions of years and has been home to many different types of creatures. (SCREECHES) (RUMBLING) All have faced unexpected challenges (ROARING) and have had to develop their own kinds of wisdom to keep them safe. (SNIFFING) (SCREECHING) The dinosaurs of the Great Valley had to learn some lessons, too. (GRUNTING) (EXCLAIMS) Hey, Grandma! Look at me! Littlefoot, come down from there! That's quite a drop! But, Grandma, there's still some tree stars on it! There are plenty of tree stars on this tree, dear. But I can get these all by myself. (RUMBLING) (GASPS) Grandma! Littlefoot! I'm coming! Littlefoot, I've got you. (YELLING) Grandma! Grandma, are you okay? Yes, dear, I think so. I would have been okay except for the earthshake. (SHUSHING) It's all right. (SNORING) (MOANS) (SCREAMING) (PANTING) (GASPS) Grandma! I'm here, Littlefoot. Everything's fine. We were back there at the old tree and you were falling. (SHUSHING) But I didn't fall. You were just having a sleep story. I didn't mean to cause all that trouble, Grandma. I'm so sorry. I know, dear. But no one knows what life is going to bring us before it happens. That's why we learn the Wisdoms. The Wisdoms? I remember them! What were they again? (LAUGHS) Those are the ways of doing things which help us stay safe when the unexpected happens. Like this one, "Stay in a group." I stayed near you, so I was able to help when you got into trouble. Your grandpa and I have tried to teach you the Wisdoms, although we may not have always called them that. Well, I want to remember all of them. Tell me the Wisdoms, Grandma. (GRUNTS) Me make it this time! You see! Okay, but no fair flying. That's against the rules. (GASPING) (COUGHS) CERA: Nice try, Petrie. (CERA LAUGHS) (SPUTTERING) Me think flying should be fair! Yeah, I guess you do! You do not see me saying swimming should be fair. No, no, no. Maybe you should just try to be a better jumper. Like me. (GRUNTS) Whoa! (GASPING) Cera! Hang on! I'm coming! Hey! Let go! Whoa! What's wrong with you guys? Help her! Calm down! Who needs help? Wait. It's just a game? Sure. What'd you think? We playing "Jump and Get Swept Away." It fun. I think pretending to be in trouble is against the Wisdoms. What are Wisdoms? They help you be safe. Like "Stay in a group" or "Work together." (ALL EXCLAIMING) (LAUGHING) Oh, you mean the Say-So's. The what? The Say-So's! Mom tell me to do those things 'cause she say so! Me wanna go play on a drippily day And me mother say me can't go When me ask her why she look me in the eye and say, "Because me say so" Oh, oh, me can't say no When your mama says stay, you cannot go Me have to do what she want me to Why? Because she say so Say so, say, say so Well, whatever you call them, you better do them! Wisdoms are important But not much fun And I'm gonna learn them Every one? And if you're smart, you'll learn them, too Why? 'Cause Littlefoot say so Say so, say, say so Say so, say, say so Say so, say, say so Why? Because he say so (ALL LAUGHING) (SCOFFS) CERA: Hey, Littlefoot, what's the matter? And what is it with everybody and these Wisdoms all of a sudden? Even my folks have them. Tria says, "Don't climb up if you can't get back down." Here one of Mom's, "Keep eyes and ears open." My mom says, "Be home before dark." Yeah. So we've all got them, but do we have to make such a big deal about them? My folks are always telling me all the things I ought to do Like, "Don't climb up if you can't get down" They call that a "Gotta Do" Egad! It makes me mad Why do I have to listen to my dad? Because he knows what's good for you All I hear is, "Gotta Do" Gotta plan ahead Gotta work together Do not sit on a prickly thorn Listen to your folks 'cause they know better If something's in your way bump it with your horn Bump it with your horn Hey-ho, we know it's true The Wisdoms say what's right to do But do I have to hear them from you, too? Say so Gotta, gotta, gotta Hey-ho, we know it's true The Wisdoms say what's right to do They're good for me And you And you Gotta, gotta do what the Say-So's say to do Bump it Gotta do Gotta do We gotta do Bump it (GRUNTS) (ALL LAUGHING) (SCREAMING) Whoa! Cera! What's the matter? There's something in there, something strange. (ALL GASPING) Well, hello! What did you say? I wasn't talking to you. Then, who were you talking to? (SQUAWKS) Him? Nope. Them. (EXCLAIMS) Oh! (ALL WHIMPERING) Hello, them! (CRYING) You're beautiful! I'm Doofah! I'm Loofah! Loofah? Doofah? And that's Foobie! (SQUAWKS) Got any berries around here? We're starving! (CHOMPING) Yellow Bellies sure like berries! How long has it been since you ate? Must have been... Let's see. Right before you guys showed up! But not berries! Berries are the best! The place where we're headed for has berries, too. And it's a valley, just like this one. I wish I could remember what it's called. It's got a real catchy name. Is it Doofah? Oh! No! Oh, that's my name! Don't worry. The Wise One will figure it out eventually. There's a wise one? That's a relief. (CHOKING) Berry Valley! That's what it's called! Right, Doofah? Hang on. I got you. I got you. (COUGHS) Thanks, Loofah. We call that one the Yellow Belly Bounce. Got anything to drink around here? Sure. Come on! Berry Valley! They got lots and lots of berries there! (PETRIE SCOFFS) Us used to have lots of berries here, too. (SLURPING) So, where's the rest of your herd? Did you get lost from them? No, see, we're still on our way to meet up with the herd. Then we'll all go to... What was it again? Berry Valley! Ever since our herd first heard of Berry Valley, we've wanted very badly to be Berry Valley Yellow Bellies. (LAUGHING) Yeah, there's nothing Yellow Bellies love better than berries and a valley filled with berries means lots of berries to fill us Yellow Bellies! (LAUGHING) Me no understand them so good. So, where are you meeting your herd? No idea! Can't remember! Then, how do you know which way to go? ALL: Simple. We'll go this way. (EXCLAIMING) We'll go this way. Bye-bye. Goodbye. You're beautiful! Goodbye. I hope they've got plenty of time to get there. (SNORING) (MOANS) (ALL CHUCKLING) No! Keep your eyes and ears open! It's a long drop! (SQUAWKING) Go! (SCREAMS) That does it! We've got to help them. (PANTING) (GRUNTING) This is ridiculous! I'm sure if the Yellow Bellies knew some of the Wisdoms, they could stay safe until they find their herd. Oh, come on! So, I'm gonna teach them. Who cares if those three go wandering around in the Mysterious Beyond? I do. Yup, yup, yup. Me, too. After the sleep story I just had, I can't let them go like this! You and your sleep stories. You've got to learn to relax. Me think you got to stop eating tree stars right before sleepy time. (ALL LAUGHING) DOOFAH: Look at that. Amazing, isn't it? (LOOFAH EXCLAIMING) There it is, the Mysterious Beyond. It looks so mysterious! (SQUAWKING) Whoa. That looks even more mysterious. Hi, guys. (EXCLAIMING) Hard ground. You came to see us off? Yeah. That is so beautiful! Look, we don't think you're ready to go. What? Huh? But we have to. We have to lead our herd to Berry Valley. They'd be lost without us. You not gonna say something? Maybe later. Okay, but first I've got to teach you some Wisdoms. Wisdoms? Yeah. 'Cause you never know what's going to happen. (RUMBLING) (ALL SCREAMING) Hey! This is kind of fun! That wasn't so bad. (SCREAMS) PETRIE: Where he go? (LOOFAH GROANING) Loofah! You okay? Fine! And guess what? I just remembered where we're supposed to meet our herd. At a big pile of rocks that look just like us! Now, if we could only find it. Nope. Not around here. (SQUAWKING) They look like brothers. PETRIE: Only that big far one made of rock. Wow! We look like that? Good job, Foobie. You spotted it. (SQUAWKS) That's one of the Wisdoms I'm going to teach you. Wisdoms? Teach? Yeah. They're things that'll keep you safe out there. I'm gonna tell them to you and then you just repeat after me. Okay? Sure. Here goes. "Keep your eyes and ears open." You got it. We're ready. No, no, no, that's the first Wisdom. What is? (SQUAWKS) Did I miss it? And I was listening so hard. Me no think it gonna work. And we've got to go. It's a long hike back home. All uphill, and we've only got till dark. Come on! I think maybe she is right. They can see the meeting place from here. And Wise One take care of them once they get there. Well. Yeah, I guess. Well, bye. Good luck. And at least stay in a group. You got it! You're beautiful! Well, that was a fun way to spend the morning. At least I gave them one Wisdom, "Stay in a group." Maybe they'll even remember it. I do not think so. No, no, no. (HUMMING) Fine! We'll help them, but just till they find their herd. Oh, Wise One better be really wise. I'm sure we can get them there and still make it home before dark. You promise? Okay. (SNIFFING) (EXCLAIMS DELIGHTFULLY) (SNIFFS) (HUMMING) (GASPS) (GROANS) Well, back so soon? Loofah! (SCREAMS) You scared... Where'd you come from? Remember what I told you, about staying in a group? "Stay in a group." Sounds like fun! So we're gonna stay with you to find your herd. Once you're in your group, we can get home before dark. Okay. Do you want to lead or should we? I think we will. (HUMMING) (GROWLS) Me no laugh. It her. I do not believe you tolded on me! So these, what do you call them, Wisdoms you were talking about? Explain them to me again. Would you, please? They're just thoughts to help you get through life and stay safe. Oh, you mean like, "Go with the flow of the big water" or "Up with your tush and you'll look like a bush"? Huh? I don't even understand that one. Just relax. There's nothing out here to be so worried about. We're completely alone! (ECHOING) Alone! Alone! (GROWLS) Can't we just go home? They're doing fine now. Come on! They don't need us anymore. All they have to do is walk to that big funny looking rock. Surely they can do that. I'm thirsty! Okay, maybe I spoke too soon. Me, too. (SQUAWKS) But we passed a watering hole just a while back. Why didn't you drink something? Well, I wasn't thirsty then. Me, neither. (SQUAWKING) Sure thirsty now, though. (GROANS IN FRUSTRATION) There's a Wisdom about this! "Plan ahead!" Come to think of it, I am thirsty, too. No tell Cera. She yell at you. (GROWLS) Okay, we'll try to find another watering hole. Let's look down there. All the way down there? We're too thirsty to move. Okay, fine. We'll be right back. Just stay in a group. This is so weird. I'm seeing one of those things. What things? You know when it's really hot and you look out and you see something, and it looks so real but it's not really there? Oh, yeah! I see it, too! Hey, Foobie! Look! (SQUAWKING) It seems so real. (SNARLING) Wow, I can even hear it! I could even smell its breath. That was nasty. (GROWLS) I think they're real! Me, too! Run! (ROARING) (SCREAMING) That not sound good. (GASPING) (RUMBLING) Now my head hurts and I'm still thirsty. (ROARING) CERA: They're trapped! We got to help them! Now! Got one! Yup, yup, yup! Let's go! They sure run fast when they want to. Yeah. We better catch them. (ROARING) Whoa! Slow down! It's okay! (ALL PANTING) So? Did you find any water? (GROANS) That's it! Cera, wait! We've got to get out of here. Now! Okey-dokey. CERA: Here we go again. Cera, do you really think once they find their herd, they can make it on their own? Sure! Are you kidding? You see how fast they can run? Yeah. As long as they know when to run. LITTLEFOOT: We made it! Do our rear ends really look like that? Wow. (SQUAWKING) (GURGLING) Water! Hey! Hi, guys! She talks to bushes? What are they doing? Hiding. "Up with your tush and you look like a bush." Remember? Oh, is that why you keep smacking your heads on the ground? Sometimes the dirt's just too hard. Hey! It's us! Stand up! (HERD CHATTERING) Well, we found herd. Time to go. Home before dark. That deal. Yeah, but maybe not now. We came to show the Yellow Bellies how to obey the Wisdoms and now we are breaking one? That does not make a lot of sense. No, no, no. I'm sorry. I just think it's safer to stay here with the big group and wait for the bright circle to rise again. Oh, our folks is gonna worry for sure. Have you seen the children? No, and I always tell Cera to be home before dark. They know the Wisdoms. I wouldn't worry, but perhaps we should speak to the others. (ALL CHATTERING) (GIGGLING) I cannot do it! No, no, no! Sure you can! It's easy! Petrie! You try, too. No! See? Like this! (HUMMING) Come on, come on and dance Come on and move your feet Come on swing your tail around to the Yellow Belly beat Come on, come on and dance Come on and shake a leg Now's the time to take a chance Don't be a scary egg DOOFAH: Petrie. Me no can dance Come on and try Me no good on the ground Me do better in the sky Ducky. We two not dance We not like you You look so silly Thanks. Silly is what we do Hey, don't you wanna come dance? In your sleep stories, pal. Come on, it's fun! Thanks anyway. You go ahead. What? That's quite a horn you got there! Thanks. And I'm gonna grow two more! Wow! Hey, guys! Look at this! Littlefoot, thanks. Thank you for helping us find our friends. Sure. Course, we would have found them anyway. You think so? Without any Wisdoms? Maybe we have some and we just didn't know it. How about this? "Things work out if you just let them." Nope. Sorry. Well, I got one. "Stop worrying about tomorrow and come on and dance!" Come on, come on and dance Come on and move your feet Come on swing your tail around to the Yellow Belly beat Look at me dance Me dance okay I can bump with the best Oh, think me dance the other way Don't be sad and glooby Glooby? Don't be mad and calm No calm Take it here from Foobie Foobie! He knows that life is fun Oh, yes, it's fun Don't think about the future Don't worry about a thing Tomorrow will be beautiful So come along and sing, oh! Come on, come on and dance Come on and fluff your fuzz Spin, spin And a grin Be happy just because Come on and tap your toes Come on and click your beak Touch your belly on the ground And give a great big squeak Squeak! Hey, Littlefoot! Squeak! Petrie! Cera! Come on, come on and dance Come on and shout, "Hooray!" Come on and be a Yellow Belly Come on, come on, come on Come on, come on, come on Come on, come on, come on Come on, come on, come on Come on and dance Come on, come on and dance (ALL LAUGHING) (ALL SNORING) Cera. Cera. What? I'm going to take the Yellow Bellies to Berry Valley. Oh, come on! Well, you met their group. Did you see any Wise One? Not really. Me, neither. We already had to save them from Sharpteeth once. I just don't think they stand a chance. I'm going with them. You? (YAWNS) Hey, you know, Littlefoot, the Yellow Bellies got along just fine before they met us. Maybe they were just lucky, and luck can run out. But Wisdoms can keep you safe. (SIGHS) There's one more Wisdom you should know. Don't ever wake me up again! (GROWLING) Now I'm worried. (ALL CHATTERING) You really think we can lead this herd of goofballs to Berry Valley? You mean you're with me? You'd be lost without us. Yeah. Besides, me no wanna be the one who explains to grown-ups why you no come back with us. It would not be pretty. No, no, no. Hey, listen up! Quiet! All right! Go on. Give them one of your Wisdoms. How are they gonna hear me with their heads buried in the sand? (MUFFLED SQUAWK) Go on. Give them one of your Wisdoms. The first thing is we've got to stay in a group. Stay in a group. Sounds like fun. LITTLEFOOT: Okay, everyone, here we go. (SNIFFS) They go wrong way. Me get him! Back with others. Back with others. No, no, no. Excuse me. Excuse me, please! We must stay in a group. Oh, dear. I don't like the look of this. Do you have any idea where you're going? Sort of. See, I've never heard of Berry Valley before, so it's got to be someplace I've never been. Right? Yeah! So, I'm going in directions I've never gone before. I'm bound to hit it sooner or later. Make sense? Maybe to some folks. Makes sense to me. Is that good or bad? Do you have to ask? Hey, could you find us some water? I'm thirsty. We're bound to hit water soon. Great! 'Cause I... (SCREAMING) Loofah! (LOOFAH LAUGHING) Hey, everybody! Loofah found some... ...water. Loofah! You found it! I didn't find it. You did! Wow! Really? So, how did I do it? Do what? Find the water. Same way you'll find Berry Valley. Same way we do just about everything. We just feel it. But it doesn't make sense. If you just feel it, then you never think about it. So, how can you be sure you're following the Wisdoms? Now you're thinking like a Longneck again. Okay, forget I said that. (SNIFFING) (SQUAWKING) Excuse me! I do not like so many rushing feet! No, no, no! Loofah! Where are they going? Berry Valley! You found it! Really? This can't be Berry Valley. It's too small. It's not Berry Valley. Who cares? We're hungry. Oh, come on! Me want a turn. Leave it to me. Move it! Wow. That usually works. Watch out. Be careful. We are very small. (GASPS) Me say it before, me say it again. Yellow Bellies sure like berries. Well, me not hungry anyway. (SNORING) You want me wake them up? They are sure not keeping their eyes and ears open now. No, no, no. What's wrong? I thought I could teach them our Wisdoms, but instead I'm starting to think like a Yellow Belly. I'm all mixed up. Maybe they don't really need us at all. Sometimes you think you know what's right Then somebody comes along and they show you what you thought was right might be a little bit wrong Things can look so different from someone else's side You're half as smart as you thought you were And the world seems twice as wide How do you know who to listen to? How do you know what to think? When you see it through someone else's eyes things can change in a blink Do you hold on to the rules you've learned? Or do you let them go? When everything's a muddle how do you know? Whenever me feel all fuzzied up me go and find me mummy She always ask me what me feel way down deep in me tummy She say if me listen hard me can hear a voice inside But what if it's a grumpy voice? It still can be your guide That is how you know who to listen to each and every day You can use your head and your tummy, too to help you find your way Keep your eyes and ears open wide and they'll show you where to go If you trust your eyes Trust your tummy Trust yourself That's how you know That's how you know who to listen to That's how you know That's how you know who to listen to That's how you know That's how you know Hey! What are you doing? Stop, you guys! Stay in a group! Littlefoot, what do we do now? We better get to higher ground! Round them up, Foobie! Oh, this was a bad idea. What if a lot of sky water starts coming down? We could slide right off the trail. Should we stay in a group and all go back down? I don't know what the Wisdom is. Stop worrying about the Wisdom! Just do what they do. Feel it! Do you think so? Well, we're almost to the top. Maybe there's a flat place up there where we can wait until the sky water stops. Then, let's go. Ducky! (SCREAMING) Keep eyes and ears open! If you say so, Petrie. Oh, no. This way, or that way? This way! (HUMMING) Over there. PETRIE: That not funny! Hey, look. You can come out now. The sky water's stopped. DUCKY: Watch out! I do not ever want to do that again. Nope, nope, nope. (YELLOW BELLY LAUGHING) Hey, where's Doofah? I don't know. Anybody see Doofah? (DISTANT HUMMING) I hear her. Come on! This way! CERA: Oh, no! Doofah! Hi! Out for a walk? We were supposed to stay in a group! Sounds like fun! She always says that. Doofah! You've got to jump! I got to what? You've got to jump! Jump! Jump now! Way to feel it. I get it now. "Stay in a group!" Like they're doing! I'm coming, Doofah! Like my dad always says, "Bump them with your horn!" "And keep eyes and ears open!" Yup, yup, yup! Remember, everybody! "Stay in a group!" Littlefoot, you've got the Wisdoms! What do we do now? Well, ground's too hard to act like a bush. What do you feel like doing, Foobie? (SQUAWKING) Great idea, Foobie. Everybody, sing! (ALL SQUAWKING) I got it! "Stop worrying about tomorrow, come on and dance!" Looks like fun! What do you know? They're still in a group! Littlefoot, which way do we go now? This is just a suggestion, but... (SQUAWKS) (SNIFFING) Huh? (SQUAWKING) Berry Valley! It smells beautiful. Great job, Foobie. You found it! That's why they call him the Wise One. Huh? Come on, let's go. He's the Wise One? I guess so! You found your valley. Actually, you found it, too. He's right. You brought us here. You know, that's true. We did it! Does that mean we can go home now? Yes, I think we can. Bye! Bye! Bye! Bye! Bye! See you later. Bye-bye. Bye! Bye! Bye! You're beautiful! Bye! See you later. Bye-bye. See you later! Bye, guys! See you! Good luck! Do you think they will make it okay? They still do not have any Wisdoms. Actually, Ducky, they always did. And now, they've got ours, too. You know, I think it takes a little bit of both. I can't believe it! A Longneck just learned something! Yeah. I just wish I knew how to get back to the Great Valley. We'll find it. We always do. I don't remember coming this way. I feel it's a shortcut. It should get us home faster. Oh, good. It means our folks start yelling even sooner. (RUMBLING) What that? What's that? There you are! We were so worried! Mama! Hi, Mom! Daddy! MR. THREEHORN: Cera. Grandma! Littlefoot! Where have you children been? It's a long story. But we're okay. And we followed all the Wisdoms! We stayed in a group! I bumped somebody with my horn! And me kept eyes and ears open, too! But you forgot the most important Wisdom. Stay in the Great Valley. We have trouble with that one. Yup, yup, yup. NARRATOR: In their journey to Berry Valley, the young dinosaurs had discovered that wisdom came in many different forms. And they knew that more lessons lay before them as they grew in the land before time. |
