The Land Before Time XV: The Sharp Beak Prince (2019)

The darkest sequel since at least the seventh movie and it comes after the second and third season of the TV Series.

Plot
A Flyer named Sydo falls in love with a Sharp Beak (Pterodactylus kochi) named Agatha and they get married and have a son named Ptero. Ptero would have had the choice of being a Sharptooth and leading the pack or being a Leaf Eater and letting the leadership of the pack go to another. However, wanting the leadership to stay in her family, the Sharp Beak Queen gets into arguments with Syod. Eventually, Sydo fears that things won't work out with Agatha and that she plans to control the boy, plans to leave with Ptero early in the morning, telling Ptero but not Agatha. However, Ptero, believing that something may be wrong with his father, asks his mother what is wrong. She says she will help him "get better" and thanks Ptero. That night, after Ptero is asleep Agatha lures Syod into a trap and murders him. Before he dies, Sydo calls out to his son, knowing Agatha plans to control him, and calls Agatha a traitor. Ptero hears his father cry out, and, is finally able to fly (he had been learning earlier and not quite got it down) and is able to get to the scene of the crime just after Agatha had eaten Sydo (to hide the body and evidence that she was the guilty one.) looking for his father. Thinking quickly and hoping to get Ptero to hate Leaf Eaters, Agatha blames his death on Leaf Eaters. Ptero, who mistakenly believes that he is a Sharp Beak, comes to hate Leaf Eaters and asks Agatha to feed him two Leaf Eater hatchlings, to which she obliges (Sydo had let Ptero eat meat before but had put his foot down about eating Leaf Eaters since Ptero was part one himself.)

Meanwhile, the Flyer Petrie, trying to learn to Fly as he is the last of his siblings to not fly, practices with his father. However, during the practice, the Great Earthshake hits and gets separated from his father Don, leaving Don and his wife Phyra and brother-in-law Pterano and their family to believe that Petrie is dead. However, Petrie lived, landing in water, unconscious and floating on a stick, the other half of the stick was kept by Don. He later learns that his father died on the way there and was given the other half of the stick that his father had kept, now making it his Snuggling Stick. Petrie scoffs at the idea of ever being friends with a Sharp Beak.

Ptero, meanwhile, grows increasingly annoyed with having to hunt all the time and never being allowed to have any fun. Agatha had been trying to push the Flattooth out of him. Ptero at one point tries to eat Tree Stars, in part because he is part Flattooth but doesn't know it, having come to believe that evil Flatteeth murdered his father (the idea sounded plausible to the pack as Sydo's old friends had kicked him out fo theri herd when he had married Agatha and the pack had agreed to let Agatha leave out that Sydo had been a Leaf Eater, so that Ptero wouldn't have to suffer the shock of learning taht his father had been murdered by his own kind.  The pack truly beleived Agatha's lies about Sydo being killed by Leaf Eaters.) Ptero finally has enough and decides to run away from home. After being chased all day, Ptero finally loses them. He soon encounters an Albertosaurus named Albert. Mistakenly believing that all Sharpteeth are friendly and that it is only Leaf Eaters tthat are evil, Ptero tries to talk to Albert, but soon learns that Albert only wants to eat him. He is able to get away by biting Albert in the hand.

Littlefoot, meanwhile, is sitting on the Great Wall watching the sun set and then the moon rise. He encounters two Sharp Beaks from Agatha's pack. They corner him and are about to eat him when Agatha calls to the two, telling themt to get a move on and that they can't stop to eat until Ptero is found. Then, startled but alive, Littlefoot goes to his grandparents, who say that, though the Great Wall keeps out most Sharpteeth, it doesn't work on Sharptooth Flyers. Littlefoot then goes to bed. Ptero, meanwhile, feels hungry. He can't find any Tree Stars and, grudgingly, goes after a Tickly Fuzzy (a dino term for mammals). Ptero sings the song "It's a Hard and Cruel World Out There" showing his frustration at the life of a Sharptooth, having to hunt for food. He eventually corners the creature and then lets out a hunting cry, before slaying it. Right before he eats the fallen mammal, Ptero says that he hopes that he is making his father proud, wherever he is.

Petrie, meanwhile, is woken up by Ptero's hunting cry. He is informed by his uncle Ptearno (who returned at the end of the second season of the TV Series) that it is a Sharp Beak hunting cry. Petrie wonders if the Sharp Beaks will get him (some had been spotted by the Great Valley recently). Pterano says that they won't come to the Great Valley. Petrie reminds him that the Sharp Beak Ichy had once come to the Great Valley (this also happened at the end of TV Series Season 2.)  Pterano says that he recalls that but that he and Petriie's mother are there to keep him safe and insists the Petrie go back to bed, which he does.

Ptero, meanwhile, continues wandering and soon encounters a Baryonx, which he avoids after realizing that it too isn't friendly. He then tries to rest in a bush but soon encounters a Fast Biter (Utahraptor couple) who appear to be having marital issues. The female whines that she is still hungry (even though they ate a Fast Runner (Oviraptor)) and demands that her mate get Ptero for them as dessert. After some witty banter from Ptero, he is able to escape them, leaving them to whine at each other and wonder why they got married.

Ptero then rests again near a pool of water but narrowly avoids a Swimming Sharptooth. Afraid that he won't live through the night unless he finds somewhere safe, Ptero flies over the Great Wall and rests in some trees, inside the Great Valley. Feeling that it is safe there, he goes to sleep.

Ducky meanwhile, hearing the cries of the Sharp Beaks looking for Ptero, has some nightmares about Sharp Beaks. She dreams that she is chased by Ichy, though she eventually loses him. However, she is soon caught by the Sharptooth Flyer from the Mysterious Island and then is fed to her babies. Ducky wakes up, also waking up her mother too, who reassures her that all is well and that she only had a bad Sleep Story. Ducky goes back to bed.

The next morning, Littlefoot is awoken by Sharp Beak cries. He gets the others awake and it is revealed that the others have also heard Sharp Beaks (Cera denies that they bothered her, though it's clear she's lying.) Littlefoot, remembering what happened the last time a Sharp Beak came to the Great Valley, suggest alerting the grownups. Ducky suggests that they wake her aunt Leslie, the one that sleep swims. Leslie, however, seems more interested in going down memory lane and going on and on about her childhood and various things, though she first began with the incident of the first time she encountered a Sharp Beak. The kids try and lose her but she follows them. They eventually decide to have one of them talk to her to distract her while others slip away. Ducky is the last one left and talks to her away, slowly moving away. Eventually, she slips away, leaving her aunt, who is oblivious that they are gone, talking to herself.

What do you think of this idea?

Great idea.

Bad idea, as the guest character seems to overshadow the main character

We don't need a second friendly Sharptooth character in there!

I don't like the idea of murder in Land Before Time.

I need more details on this.

You should work for Universal!
