The Land Before Time IV: Journey Through the Mists, directed by Roy Allen Smith and originally released direct-to-video on December 10th, 1996, is the fourth film in the Land Before Time series. It was the last film in the series to be directed by Smith, and the last to feature any of the cast from the original The Land Before Time (1988), with voice actress Candace Hutson departing after voicing the main character Cera in this film.

The plot of the movie involves a herd of longnecks, who are cousins of Grandma and Grandpa Longneck, paying a visit to the Great Valley, among them being a young female longneck named Ali, who befriends Littlefoot and leads him with the other main characters into her homeland, the Land of Mists, to search for a flower that will cure Littlefoot's grandfather of a recent illness.

Although The Land Before Time IV: Journey Through the Mists remains one of the more popular Land Before Time films among fans of the series, it was received poorly by the critics, with most of them considering the plot and characters to be underdeveloped. Despite this, the movie received two Annie award nominations, and was re-released many times after its original video release.
