Sharptooth Pack (The Great Longneck Migration)


"I did not know boulders could snore."
"They can't, but
Sharpteeth can!"

A trio of Sharptooth (Tyrannosaurus) appears in The Land Before Time X: The Great Longneck Migration as the main antagonists. One sharptooth is gray in color, the second is reddish brown in color, and the third is green in color. The red Sharptooth and the gray Sharptooth possibly make a cameo appearances in The Land Before Time XIII: The Wisdom of Friends and The Land Before Time XIV: Journey of the Brave, respectively.

History[]

The first of the Sharpteeth to appear in the film is the gray Sharptooth, who first appears a little over half an hour into the film when Cera, Ducky, Petrie, and Spike are looking for Littlefoot. After traveling through a swamp and escaping a large Belly Dragger, the children are tired, and don't notice the sleeping carnivore next to them. Petrie runs into his snout and immediately falls to sleep; the others curl up next to the Sharptooth's body, thinking it's a boulder.

Later, Cera tries to get the others to get up so they can keep moving. She hears snoring and gets Spike to wake up. Cera still hears snoring and thinks Spike has fallen asleep again, but quickly realizes it's not him. The children see that what they thought was a boulder is a Sharptooth, and in her shock Cera screams, waking him up. The dinosaur growls and roars at them and then gives chase. While running through the jungle the children turn around a rock wall and into a small cave; when the Sharptooth comes around the bend he looks around, roars, and continues walking along. When an elderly Longneck named Pat talks to the children, he mentions Sharpteeth being big but dumb, and that they fooled the carnivore good.

Later, about an hour into the film, after Petrie finds Littlefoot (who is with Shorty), they see a reddish-brown Sharptooth appear behind a rock and run towards them, who is revealed to be chasing Cera, Ducky and Spike. While he chases the six children, he is intercepted by Pat and hits a tree, causing it to crash down on him. He pushes the tree off himself but is immediately whipped in the face by Pat, who slips and falls down from the force of it, due to his burnt foot.

The Sharptooth then goes towards Pat who can't get up due to his burnt foot, but slips on some incoming rocks knocked down the hill by Shorty. Meanwhile, Littlefoot's father Bron wakes up, wondering where Littlefoot is. He hears the red Sharptooth's roars, and heads to the outside of the crater. The other children roll more rocks at him and run over to save Pat, but the Sharptooth gets up faster and rams into Pat knocking him down again.

As he approaches Pat once again, Bron distracts the Sharptooth by rolling a large rock down the hill and calling it a coward. The sharptooth turns and they both charge at each other. Meanwhile, Pat makes it to his feet, albeit in pain. Before they meet, Bron turns and slides down the hill, whipping the Sharptooth's leg with his tail to make him trip. The carnivore immediately gets up and bites Bron's leg, but is hit in the face by Pat's tail. While focusing on Pat he is kicked in the face by Bron causing him to roll downhill, and is knocked unconscious.

The Orange-Brown Sharptooth taking down Bron

As the Leaf Eaters think they're safe, a green Sharptooth appears and runs around the crater towards Bron. The gray Sharptooth from earlier appears as well, near Littlefoot and Cera. Just then, the red Sharptooth wakes up and roars, telling his fellow pack members to fight the Leaf Eaters. The Green Sharptooth then focuses its attention on Bron and drives him further down the hill towards the recovering red Sharptooth. Littlefoot sees his father's situation and runs down to help him. The Sharptooth diverts its attention to Littlefoot, but before it can attack the young Longneck, Littlefoot's grandfather slams into it. The carnivore shakes their head and proceeds toward Grandpa Longneck. Meanwhile, Littlefoot's grandmother runs down the hill to help her husband.

While the other Sharpteeth are fighting, the Orange-Brown Sharptooth finally recovers from rolling down the hill and charges at Bron, fighting him again; Littlefoot comes to help his father but Bron says he can handle the Sharptooth. Meanwhile, just as the green Sharptooth corners Grandpa Longneck against a steep ledge, Grandma Longneck charges into it from behind; Grandpa Longneck lowers his neck and the Sharptooth tumbles down the ledge into the trees below.

With one sharptooth down, Ducky, Petrie, Spike, and Shorty run over to help Cera and Pat fight the Gray Sharptooth. Pat whips the gray Sharptooth's face multiple times with his tail, while Cera tries to escape getting hurt. The carnivore shakes his head off and roars before pushing into Pat's side and knocking him over. Cera charges at the Sharptooth's foot causing him to get off-balance, while Shorty runs underneath his other foot and pushes against it causing him to fall backwards and roll down the hill.

Meanwhile, the red Sharptooth continues to try to bite Bron, but the gray sharptooth's body slams into him, knocking them both down to the bottom of the hill. The two get up as the eclipse starts, and the full pack attempt to follow Bron, but stop to watch the eclipse. During the eclipse, they roar and snarl at it. They are scared off near the end of the eclipse. Their whereabouts remain unknown.

Trivia[]

  • The soundtrack playing during the chase scene featuring the gray Sharptooth is titled “T-Rex”.
  • When the various Longnecks of the crater are looking down at the battlefield, the gray Sharptooth is colored incorrectly as the same color as the red Sharptooth, and the red Sharptooth is colored as the green Sharptooth, while the actual green Sharptooth keeps its coloring, making two green Sharpteeth appear.
    • Also, in a short scene where the green Sharptooth drives Bron further down the hill towards the red Sharptooth, they are colored the same color as the orange-brown Sharptooth while the red Sharptooth has their coloring. These are all likely major mistakes on the animator's part.
  • During the opening narration, a Tyrannosaurus is shown fighting an Apatosaurus. Whether or not the sharptooth is supposed to be one of the individuals that appear later in the movie is unclear, and it is impossible to discern its true color scheme due to the scene in question being bathed in red.
  • A Sharptooth of the same coloring and eye color of the red Sharptooth appears at the beginning of The Land Before Time XIII: The Wisdom of Friends, chasing a massive group of Fast Biters, and may be the same individual.
  • It is possible that the Sharptooth in the swamp may be a different individual than the one in the final battle later on, but it is likely the same one as the creators would probably not put two separate sharpteeth with the same coloring in the same movie.
  • This is the only trio of tyrannosaurs in the entire franchise.
  • These sharpteeth are believed by some to be Daspletosaurus, though there is no official material to support this theory, and pieces of official material identify physically identical tyrannosaurs in the franchise, such as Red Claw and some imaginary sharpteeth in the TV series, as Tyrannosaurus.[3][4] The soundtrack even refers to these creatures as Tyrannosaurus.
  • They are the last antagonists in the films that are Tyrannosaurus; in later movies, they are relegated to small cameos, while other theropods - such as Deinonychus in The Land Before Time XI: Invasion of the Tinysauruses , Spinosaurus in The Land Before Time XII: The Great Day of the Flyers, some long-snouted theropods in The Land Before Time XIII: The Wisdom of Friends and Allosaurus and Carnotaurus in The Land Before Time XIV: Journey of the Brave - serve as their respective movies' sharptooth threats.
  • The red Sharptooth is the only sharptooth that Bron has fought in the franchise so far.
  • The theme that plays when the sharpteeth attack together is not available in the movie's soundtrack, and cannot be found online.
