* TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers: After the kids nearly [[QuicksandSucks sink in quicksand]] and are saved by their angry parents, Cera asks if they all got the same lecture as her:
-->'''Petrie''': Me too young to wander fall.\\
'''Ducky''': We[[note]]her and [[HappilyAdopted Spike]][[/note]] are not grown-ups and should remember it.\\
'''Littlefoot''': There are many dangers. I must always be careful.\\
'''Cera''': [[SkewedPriorities Don't hang around with]] [[FantasticRacism longnecks, beakfaces and spiketails!]]\\
''({{Beat}} as the others stare at Cera)''\\
'''Cera''': ''(Meekly)'' Well, it was ''mostly'' the same lecture.

* AnAesop: Don't be in a rush to grow up, but instead enjoy childhood while you can.

* BadGuysDoTheDirtyWork: It's Chomper's parents who defeat Ozzie and Strut, chasing them out of the Great Valley when they're about to kill Littlefoot. Subverted in that they’re not truly bad guys, since they leave the valley once they’ve found their son.
* BigBadEnsemble: Ozzie and Strut serve as the main antagonists for the first half of the film, their attempts to steal the eggs leading to many major events in the film. But Chopper's parents become the main antagonist in the second half due to being a threat to all dinosaurs in the Great Valley.
* BigBadWannabe: Ozzie and Strut aren't quite {{Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain}}s because they ''do'' have some genuinely villainous moments they almost get away with, but as threats they are ''massively'' eclipsed by the Sharptooth couple once the pair enters the Valley.

* DoesNotLikeSpam: Chomper does not like green food and prefers to eat dragonflies.

* EvilEggEater: A pair of Struthiomimus, named Ozzie and Strut, are the villains. They have their own VillainSong about it, simply titled "Eggs."
* ExitPursuedByABear: The last we see of Ozzie and Strut, they're being chased away by Chomper's parents.

* LamePunReaction: When they arrive at the Great Valley after a long trek, Strut says that he's just "egg-xausted". Ozzie kicks him in the face in response.

* OrphanedEtymology: Ozzie refers to himself as a ''Struthiomimus'' in his VillainSong, using a term that would be coined by humans millions of years after he and the rest of his kind went extinct.

* BadGuysDoTheDirtyWork: It's Chomper's parents who defeat Ozzie and Strut, chasing them out of the Great Valley when they're about to kill Littlefoot.

** Littlefoot and his friends' parents and grandparents saving them from the sinking sands.
** Littlefoot when he stops Ozzy and Strut from harming his friends.

* BigBadDuumvirate: Ozzie and Strut serve as the main antagonists for the first half of the film, their attempts to steal the eggs leading to many major events in the film. But Chopper's parents become the main antagonist in the second half due to being a threat to all dinosaurs in the Great Valley.

* BigBadWannabe: Ozzie and Strut aren't quite IneffectualSympatheticVillains because they ''do'' have some genuinely villainous moments they almost get away with, but as threats they are ''massively'' eclipsed by the Sharptooth couple once the pair enters the Valley.

%%* BigBad: Ozzy, with Strut as his Dragon
* BigBadWannabe: Ozzie and Strut aren't quite [[IneffectualSympatheticVillain Ineffectual Sympathetic Villains]] because they ''do'' have some genuinely villainous moments they almost get away with, but as threats they are ''massively'' eclipsed by the Sharptooth couple once the pair enters the Valley.

* OneSteveLimit: Averted in the case of the term "Sharptooth". Not only is it the name of the Big Bad of the original movie, the term is also used to specifically describe Tyrannosaurus Rexes, and is a general term for carnivores, meaning the following is a valid sentence: "Sharptooth is a Sharptooth, which makes him a Sharptooth."
* OutlivingOnesOffspring: Invoked particularly hard with Littlefoot's grandparents, who have lost their only daughter. In the second movie, while lecturing Littlefoot on the importance of being careful, they flat out tell him "you are all we have."

* PickyEater: Ozzy preffers to eat eggs while his brother prefers to eat green vegetation much to Ozzy's dismay.

* TemptingFate: Cera, when jumping from rock to rock to reach the sheltering grass. Then she falls into the sinking sand and needs help. "Whew! See? Whoa!".

* NotSoHarmlessVillain: Ozzy. After spending the entire movie failing to eat a single egg, he [[spoiler:tries to ''kill'' Littlefoot and Chomper by throwing them off the Wall between the Great Valley and the Mysterious Beyond, and would have ''succeeded'' if Chomper's parents hadn't arrived and chased them off]].

* OffModel: An unfortunate side effect from outsourcing to South Korea and Taiwan. However, the later films by Wang do see a (slight) uptick in quality as the series goes on as opposed to AKOM's, which go the opposite direction.

[[caption-width-right:260: Littlefoot and his friends are back!]]

The second film in [[WesternAnimation/TheLandBeforeTime The Land Before Time]] franchise. After his tribe of herbivorous dinosaurs moves to the carnivore-free Peaceful Valley in the first film, the young brontosaurus Littlefoot and his friends chase after a pair of dangerous dinosaurs stealing an egg from the village. While running, they accidentally cause a landslide that opens up their home to outsiders. When the egg they bring back and hatch reveals not one of their own, but a carnivorous tyrannosaurus, the youngsters decide to secretly raise it. The film was released on December 23, 1994.

* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: Ozzy referring to himself as a ''Struthiomimus'' in his VillainSong could be seen as this, given that there's no possible way he should know about the genus name that will be given to him by humans millions of years after the events of the film.
