== "Sharptooth" vs. "the Sharp-Tooth" and other tone issues ==

In the current plot summary, the ''T. Rex'' that killed Littlefoot's mother and follows the main characters is referred to as "Sharptooth". Because (to my recollection - admittedly it's been years since I watched this film) the ''T. Rex'' is never addressed directly, should it not be "the Sharp-Tooth"? Anything that the characters say would trump this, of course, but the latter term would avoid naming the ''T. Rex'' and more accurately reflect the feeling of dread associated with it. ] (]) 20:23, 26 January 2017 (UTC)

Frank Welker as Sharptooth

He wasn't credited in the credits, and I can find no proof that he voiced Sharptooth. Are there any sources saying he did? 50.132.2.24 (talk) 08:45, 12 November 2011 (UTC)

A List of the Dinosaurs Used in the Film

Well I mean yeah the Tyrannosaurus could of died when it fell of the cliff but that would of made a pretty short movie now wouldn't of it? No, but seriously great article but there is somethings you "could," do. First of all maybe beside each dinosaurs name you could put the type of Dinosaur and a link to that Dinosaurs article page. That would be really helpful. Also for the Dinosaur inaccuracie thing I'm pretty sure there are a lot more inaccuracies than that. Maybe you could research it a little more and see what they are. After all it doesn't make sense to just put down the inaccuracies for the Tyrannosaurus Rex. Just a few suggestions. -James Pandora Adams — Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.126.18.254 (talk) 13:33, 22 February 2012 (UTC)

VHS uncut release?

"though the original version is still on early VHS copies of the film." ("Editing" paragraph) Could someone please get a verification or proof that there is the original version on early VHS copies of this film? I have researched this issue and have found many different views on this. For now, I think it would be best to put a verification tag beside that sentence in the paragraph to minimize potentially false information. 142.68.213.102 (talk) 19:06, 26 October 2012 (UTC)

minus Removed - If you think it's potentially false, it better be removed. Michaelzeng7 (talk) 22:42, 26 October 2012 (UTC)

Editing

This article claims that scenes of Littlefoot's mother being attacked are unedited in early VHS releases, but it isn't cited and I can't find anything elsewhere to prove it. Additionally, my family owns the first VHS release of the movie after it aired in theaters, and the attack scene is still portrayed only in shadow. I wasn't born when this movie was in theaters so I don't know about that, but is there any real proof? It seems like this is just a rumor that was dispelled long ago… 71.166.34.105 (talk) 00:02, 7 June 2015 (UTC)

Apatosaurus vs. Brontosaurus

An unregistered editor has repeatedly changed Apatosaurus to Brontosaurus. Yes, there is a long-running very minor dispute in paleontology over Apatosaurus vs. Brontosaurus. That tiny technical issue does not belong in this article. The source cited says Apatosaurus so Misplaced Pages says Apatosaurus. Changes contrary to the source will be reverted. Repeated changes contrary to the source will result in page protection and yeah, I'll have to both figuring out which of our problem editors this is. - SummerPhD 13:15, 11 October 2016 (UTC)

"Sharptooth" vs. "the Sharp-Tooth" and other tone issues

In the current plot summary, the T. Rex that killed Littlefoot's mother and follows the main characters is referred to as "Sharptooth". Because (to my recollection - admittedly it's been years since I watched this film) the T. Rex is never addressed directly, should it not be "the Sharp-Tooth"? Anything that the characters say would trump this, of course, but the latter term would avoid naming the T. Rex and more accurately reflect the feeling of dread associated with it.
