Littlefoot is a modest, intelligent, playful longneck who, despite his traumatic upbringing, believes that friendship goes beyond species b⦠Family As he bites it, a chunk of the vine comes off, and the vine splits, sending them swinging into a cave in the side of the rocks below. Set shortly after the end of The Land Before Time. Neutral (formerly), good She also grows jealous and offended after Littlefoot thanks Ali for getting help from the others when he had been trapped in the cave after the earthquake, but does not thank Cera for knocking down enough of the rocks blocking the entrance to one of the chambers, that he could get out. Her dominance and impatience often times quarrel with Littlefoot; this is usually towards Littlefoot's actions and persistance which at most times is pointless, and mundane in her opinion; implicating that she stays to code with Threehorn's beliefs that everybody should survive on their own. The brow-horns would have developed more during the pubic stage. Originally released by Universal Pictures and Spielberg's Amblin Entertainment, it features anthropomorphic dinosaurs living in the prehistoric times. [5] As the character was in mid-animation,[6] George Lucas made the suggestion to change him to a female named "Cera". Or any variation of the above. [13], Cera's species has been the subject of some dispute, although the confusion over what she is has not been as drastic as it has been for the character Ducky. This high strung ignorance is what normally causes conflicts with Littlefoot amongst their group, concerning on their own well-being and their worrying parents and who is in charge in the realms of their situations, and in some cases it has escalated to where both characters have gotten into physical confrontations this being seen in the first, second and fifth films. Si⦠In The Land Before Time XI: Invasion of the Tinysauruses, Cera immediately bonds with Lizzie, as she has similar family-related problems to those Cera has at the time. She is also not against teasing him about his small arms in "The Missing Fast-Water Adventure", until he successfully reaches the rock blocking the fast water from flowing through a log (his arms were thin enough to reach it from a hole in the side), upon which she congratulates him. Another instance of her caring demeanor is in The Land Before Time XI: Invasion of the Tinysauruses, when she softly tells Tria that she believes the reason Daddy Topps was so mean to the Tinysauruses was because he felt that they had effectively hurt Tria when they ate the tree sweets off of the tree, as she could no longer have the first one of the year. Cera is shown to be very skeptical on many occasions. [10] Ian Wojcik-Andrews, author of the 2000 book, Children's Films: History, Ideaology, Pedagogy, and Theory compared Cera's act of leading Ducky, Petrie and Spike away from Littlefoot after they began to despair of finding the Great Valley to the temptations which might pull followers of Christ away from the path to salvation, with Littlefoot being in the role of the saviour. The Land Before Time XI: Invasion of the Tinysauruses When the tinysauruses were trapped in the cave, Cera's dad told her to come, and she no, I want to be with Littlefoot. In 2007, Catherine Hapka wrote the book "Cera's Shiny Stone", based upon the television episode "The Canyon of Shiny Stones". Cera initially doesn't get along with Tria, although Tria tries to show her love and care, because she does not like sharing her father's attention. Alignment Spike nods, before realizing that it was a biting remark. Littlefoot asked. [30] In fanfiction, Cera and Littlefoot sometimes fall in love with each other, despite Cera being a Triceratops and Littlefoot an Apatosaurus. Flowers, particularly yellow ones[2] Orange w. Cream underbelly On the other hand, in "Search for the Sky Color Stones", the two girls become very openly competitive with each other; with Cera calling herself "the best sky-color stone finder" and telling Ruby that she will find one first, all the while Ruby firmly states that she is sure she'll find one before Cera. Most of his peers called him "Threehorn" or "Old Threehorn", while Grandpa and Grandma Longneck call him "my friend" "Mr. Threehorn" or "Old Mr. Threehorn". His mother was devoted to her only son, and defended him at all costs. Sweet but Strong-willed Cera (website) Cera then confesses that the only reason she didn't like him was because of the fact that the others had been obsessing over him; she wanted to receive some attention as well. When they all climb over a hill and find nothing but more deserted land beneath them, she grows unfaithful of Littlefoot's intuition, and when he protests that they are going in the direction his deceased mother had said to go in, she says she was stupid, and the two begin to fight. Ducky: Run, Petrie! Cera's stepmother Tria first appears in The Land Before Time XI: Invasion of the Tinysauruses. In "The Bright Circle Celebration", Cera dismisses Petrie's explanation that the Bright Circle Celebration is done because the Bright Circle (sun) likes to be thanked for shining every day. A character sheet for Cera used in production of the movie. In the Italian dubs of the series, Cera is known as "Tricky". It appears that she has gotten over that fear. However, she still has maintained her dominant and egotistical behavior, as seen on multiple occasions, such as in the beginning of The Mysterious Island, when she says that the remaining treestar on one of the trees should go to her, professing that she is the oldest of the group (despite the fact that Ducky was shown to be born before Cera). In fact, by the events of The Land Before Time V: The Mysterious Island, Cera is so used to living in a diverse-species community that when the Great Valley herd is forced to leave the Valley and perhaps break up and join other herds, Cera says "I don't wanna live with a bunch of threehorns, they're too bossy!" See more ideas about land before time, my childhood, childhood. The friendship between Cera and Ruby seems to be well-off, with little arguing or criticism between the two. It is likely she was designed this way when she was still Bambo. Fan-Preferred Couple: Littlefoot/Ali (to those who aren't unnerved by them being near-clones or Kissing Cousins) and Littlefoot/Cera are both pretty popular, as ⦠In other films, she is shown to be aggravated when her father, who is still somewhat of a segregationist, warns her against interaction with other species, as in The Land Before Time III: The Time of the Great Giving, when Daddy Topps tells her not to play with Littlefoot after he mistakenly believes the latter deliberately wasted water. He was married to Grace-Lynne Martin. She is a Triceratops, which is known as a "Threehorn" to the characters in the franchise. During the production of the movie The Land Before Time, the character of Cera started out as a male Triceratops named "Bambo". The Land Before Time XII: The Great Longneck Migration Cera (also known as Sweet but Strong-willed Cera) or simply strong-willed Cera), is the deuteragonist and primary female character in The Land Before Time franchise. When Littlefoot and Ducky run to Tria's secret mud pool in search of Ruby, they meet up with Cera while she is mudbathing. This is first shown when she tells Littlefoot that "threehorns never play with longnecks" and that "they only talk to other threehorns and they only travel with other threehorns", and was made explicit when she told Littlefoot that "My father told me that flatheads (a racial slur directed at longnecks) have very small brains." In the original movie, the viewers are introduced to Littlefoot, his mother, and his grandparents. However, whenever Chomper mentions that he is hungry, she hastily tells him to look away from her, as in "The Cave of Many Voices". This would make Dinah and Dana Cera's cousins if correct. However, near the end of the film, when the Swimming Sharptooth attacks them for the final time, and Mo appears to sacrifice himself to save them, the five all mourn him. He was credited as \"Daddy Topps\" in the first film and \"Cera's Dad\" in the first ten sequels. The shape of her head and face is now less rounded and more angular, although her body design remains true to the original film. [11], British journalist MJ Simpson wrote that he disliked the fact that the most commonly used video sleeve for The Land Before Time VIII: The Big Freeze replaces Cera with the guest character Tippy, quoting, "This installment in the saga is much more about Duckie and Spike than Littlefoot and Cera, although Cera does get to sing a song and ultimately saves the day by yelling loud enough to cause a snowfall, so it’s a bit rotten that she has been cut from the most commonly used video sleeve. Since then, many assume that Topsy is his real name, although there has been argument over whether it is really his na⦠He was an actor, known for Heathers (1989), Death Becomes Her (1992) and General Hospital (1963). She is a Triceratops,[4] which is known as a "Threehorn" to the characters in the franchise. Cera, understanding Ruby's mood, cautions him away from doing so; suggesting that he might make her feel even worse. Cera has a fear of heights, as shown in The Land Before Time V: The Mysterious Island when she feels nervous about walking across the log Chomper showed them, and in The Land Before Time VI: The Secret of Saurus Rock, when she is reluctant to hop on the pillars which originally stood in the canyon. [Sharptooth 1 bites Sharptooth 2 while Petrie grabs Ducky, then they both fall down, screaming, then they roar, then walking to Ducky and Petrie, then Cera's Dad appears] Ducky's Mom: Get away from our children! She then cheers when the ice melts in time for him to catch flight again. The Land Before Time is The Land Before Time, no matter what it is.

When they are too tired to walk home after Grandpa Longneck's storytelling, she agrees to carry them home, and endures having the horns in her frill playfully tugged at. If she was too proud to admit going the wrong way the second time, she may have also been held back by a much greater guilt.
