Bluth had to learn most of his information about specific dinosaur species before work began, stating "I had to do lots and lots of research because I never was a fanatic about dinosaurs as a kid. But in many ways it became a fictional fantasy because it's about these young children who are taught to hate each other; anyone who is different from him. When they are separated from their parents, these five little children have to learn to get along with each other for survival. So there is a bit of a moral in it, too". [6] The films creators decided to have a Tyrannosaurus as the main villain. [6] A quartet of "Hookthumb Sharpteeth" ( Baryonyx) appeared in The Land Before Time XIII: The Wisdom of Friends, led by a purple-brown Baryonyx with a scar running over its jaw. Chomper is only one of two Sharpteeth in the franchise to interrupt a song (in his case, You're One of Us Now, which was interrupted when he bit Cera in the tail.)

A stampede of Fast Biters ( Herrerasaurus) appeared in the episode "The Lonely Journey" being pursued by Red Claw. Mansour, David (2005). From Abba to Zoom: A Pop Culture Encyclopedia of the Late 20th Century. Andrews McMeel Publishing. p.272. ISBN 0740751182. A Tyrannosaurus appeared along with the Allosaurus in the climax of the sixth film. More Tyrannosaurids would appear in opening narrations. Littlefoot has been called a Brontosaurus [9] [10] [11] and a Brachiosaurus, [12] but is now identified as an Apatosaurus. [13] [1]The idea for The Land Before Time came during production of An American Tail. Steven Spielberg's studio Amblin Entertainment was interested in doing a film about dinosaurs, which were popular at the time, leading Spielberg, director Don Bluth, and producer George Lucas to develop the prehistoric setting and its cast. Inspired by the dinosaur-themed "Rite of Spring" sequence from Disney's Fantasia, Spielberg had originally intended for the movie to have no speech, with music cues and body language telling the story, effectively rendering all the characters mute. However, it was decided that the film could not carry a story without dialogue, and each character was given a speaking language accordingly. The film's artists used the Fantasia sequence and characters as guides when creating their first concept art. [6]
