Just a fun game where you swap gems for points.
I wondered if you’d played it because of the other gaming related places you mentioned above.
Still mean, but yeah, I can understand it to some degree from the perspective that she was just, as you said, tired and grumpy.
I rewatched the scene. Littlefoot does indeed say “Go on! Go the wrong way! We never wanted you with us anyway!” But it was directed at Cera, not at Petrie. After Ducky says that Cera’s way is easier, Littlefoot doesn’t say anything else. He just storms off.
Really though, poor Littlefoot. Everything he has to go through in the film. But on the other hand, it makes it all the more awesome when, even after his fight with Cera and the others all ditch him as well, he still goes back to save them from the volcano area.
It certainly was a mean thing to say, and it’s probably the most heinous thing she does in the film. I think in part it was because, as Figment said, she’d been taught by her dad to be prejudiced against other dinosaurs. And while she was starting to show signs of shedding off her prejudice throughout the film, she clearly hadn’t quite made the transition yet.
Beyond that, however, I don’t think it was premeditated on her part. Keep in mind that they’ve been travelling for who knows how many exhausting days on end, with no end in sight, and I think it’s understandable that any of them would be quite cranky and irritable at that point. With Littlefoot continually pressing them forward, I can see why Cera got fed up. I think it was just a heat-of-the-moment comment expressing her frustration at Littlefoot telling her that she was going the wrong way when, from her perspective, he has no valid proof of this whatsoever.
It certainly doesn’t justify her comment, but I do think the context is important.
I realize this post was a long time ago and the OP may not see it, but I might as well ask just in case. Are you still looking to sell this movie still? Do you have any photos? Because if so, I might be interested in buying it.
Definitely agree with a lot of the reasons stated above.
For me, I remembered the original film from my childhood, but seeing it as an adult, I fell in love with it all over again for its characters and for the heart-wrenching story.
I’m currently making my way through the rest of the series. As of this post I have made it to the fifth film. The original is still my favourite, but I still love the characters and I wanted to see what further adventures Littlefoot and his friends would get themselves into. My favourite sequel so far is “Journey Through the Mists”.
