The Land Before Time

[TylerMirage]

What better time to do a dream cast for this franchise than during DINOSAUR WEEK?

Many of these characters have such established voices (especially for me, growing up with these films being some of my favourite) that it's very difficult to imagine them sounding any other way. But as time passes, child actors grow too old for parts, actor availability changes and, in sad cases, VAs pass away. To quote Black Widow: "Nothing lasts forever".

Just starting off with the main cast:

Littlefoot - Jeremy Shada
Cera - Cree Summer
Ducky - Tara Strong
Petrie - Eric Bauza
Spike - (really, anyone who can grunt and mumble)
Grandpa Longneck - Jim Cummings or Garry Chalk
Grandma Longneck - BJ Ward or April Winchell
Cera's Dad - Clancy Brown, Corey Burton, Gregg Berger or Garry Chalk

I'll admit to having watched this series for a while as a kid, so heck, may as well try this out.

*Littlefoot - Tabitha St. Germain
*Cera - Chantal Strand
*Ducky - Claire Corlett
*Petrie - Ian James Corlett
*Grandpa Longneck - Garry Chalk
*Grandma Longneck - Nicole Oliver
*Daddy Topps - Richard Newman

You say that as if it's something to be ashamed of.

Anywho, those are some good ideas! I'll take a crack at some Ocean-specific casting, too.

Littlefoot - One of the Drummond kids
Cera - Venus Terzo
Ducky - Anna Cummer
Petrie - Sam Vincent or Brian Drummond
Grandpa Longneck - Garry Chalk
Grandma Longneck - Kathleen Barr
Cera's Dad - Richard Newman (really, this makes so much more sense than Garry)

It's just that it was mostly the sequels, which I understand aren't held in as high a regard as the first one (even if they have their fanbase regardless), and I have to say they likely don't live up to my own current standards either.

Anyway, Barr would likely be a better choice for Grandma than Oliver would be. And I think someone else proposed Newman as Topps before I decided to go with it; I actually kinda struggled trying to come up with someone who would sound as close to Ingle as Chalk does to Mars. For a short time I went with Dale Wilson based on if he tweaked his Semi-Perfect Cell voice a bit.

However, if we were going LA, Richard McGonagle would be a great choice for that

LET THE HATERS HATE.

I have, and will always love those sequels, regardless of quality.

Garry's a good choice, but I think David Kaye would be good for a Vancouver-based cast, too. Or Tom Kane, if you wanna stick to LA.

Though I think Ellen Kennedy would be a better choice for Grandma Longneck.

Grampa Longneck Jim Cummings
Topps/Cera`s dad Richard McGonagle

About Chomper? Jim Cummings would be choice for him as a little kid or maybe an adult.
It would be cool if he was all grown up and being
