List of Animation Errors in The Land Before Time

The Land Before Time is widely known to the public in many ways, in quite a few positive and negative. In one way however, it is known for its rather low-end animation quality (except for the original). It is not uncommon for the sequels and (especially) the TV series to have animation errors; some minor, others downright egregious. This article is dedicated to listing every animation error that has occurred in The Land Before Time franchise, in order of which they first occur.

Animation errors in the films[]

The Land Before Time[]

During the Sharptooth attack Littlefoot says "Mother?!" and his mother says "Run run!" their mouths aren't moving.
In the scene when Littlefoot and Ducky first meet Petrie, Littlefoot appears with blue eyes in two shots. That error was in pre-2015 printings, as the 2015 remastered version shows Littlefoot with purple eyes in those two shots. Also during that entire scene, Ducky's eyes are brown instead of blue.
During the film's climax, while pushing the boulder - and by extension, Sharptooth - off of the cliff, Littlefoot's mouth does not move when he says "Cera, you're back!".
When the children arrive at the Great Valley and reunite with their families, the dark coloration around Daddy Topps' eyes is missing.

In the scene where the parents become frantic after they cannot locate their children, among the most severe of the film series' animation errors occur. Among these errors are a duo of Triceratops that appear to be merged into one individual, off-models of Grandma and Grandpa Longneck, an off-model Saurolophus with colors similar to the series' Lambeosaurus, a miscolored ceratopsid with only one horn, a very off-model Triceratops, mushed Apatosaurus at the bottom of the image, and a green creature that is so off-model that it is impossible to make out what it is intended to be. Finally, an Ankylosaurus is seen sunken into the ground, making it resemble a modern hedgehog.
In the chase with the shark, the shark has a number of errors. When it dives down into the water, it does not have sclerae nor irises, only pupils. When it bursts out of the water right before it bites the log the gang are on, it has black sclerae and white pupils. In a couple of shots, it also has no irises.

Also, in the first instance, the Browridge Sharptooth also seems to have four fingers on his right hand. As well, in the third instance, the sharptooth's head seems to be more rough than his head normally is and is missing his pupils.
When Ducky states that Cera was the one who told the twins to get lost, her ridge is the same color as her dorsal stripe.

During one scene where the Far Walkers are walking to the Great Valley, an Apatosaurus seems to have purple eyes instead of the usual white, and a Corythosaurus in the background is nearly as big as two Brachiosaurus.
During the scene where the far-walkers arrive, a Maiasaura is depicted with scutes like a Spiketail.
During the discussion of the stone after Littlefoot tells everyone about it, two odd-looking sauropods can be seen. They have the bodies of a Brachiosaurus but have the head of an Apatosaurus, making it an animation error.

Strangely, in one scene where the Green Sharptooth lunges at Grandpa Longneck, it has a green tooth for about a frame.

The Land Before Time XI: Invasion of the Tinysauruses[]

During the scene where the Valleydwellers are yelling at Grandpa Longneck when he states that the Tinysauruses deserve to eat the tree sweets as much as the other dinosaurs do, Grandma Longneck is seen among the angry crowd despite the fact that she is in agreement with Grandpa Longneck about the issue.
Just before the 'Creepy Crawlies' song begins, a rainbowface is shown with extremely bright red eyes for a few frames, rather than the usual dull orange.
During the 'Creepy Crawlies' song, a close-up of a rainbowface depicts it with a green muzzle, rather than a peach one.
During one shot during 'Creepy Crawlies', a rainbowface has white eyes.
During 'Creepy Crawlies', a Corythosaurus is depicted with a brown crest and a brown snout.

When Guido states "Not that anyone's saying you're disturbed, least of all me..." to Topsy, his wing feathers change color from pale green and yellow to turquoise, like the rest of his body.
During the song "Flip, Flap and Fly":
- Topsy and Tria are seen watching the aerial displays. After the song is over, when Tricia falls into the river, the duo are back at their nest, asleep.
- when Petrie flies past the Tinysauruses, a stalagmite is placed over Big Daddy's tail instead of behind it.

While seeing the gang again, Loofah's rearend feathers are yellow in one shot.
During the scene where Doofah sees the sharpteeth approaching, Foobie is missing the yellow coloring on his belly, Loofah is missing his tail, and Doofah has four arms.

When the Yellow Bellies run towards the plateau, Cera's nose horn is briefly the same color as her body. Littlefoot's sclerae also turns white a few seconds later.
When the Yellow Bellies run towards the plateau, you can see that they run past Ducky and Petrie. But in the very next shot Ducky and Petrie are now ahead of them.
Before Ducky and Petrie are sat on, Ducky's tongue briefly flashes green.
