The Land in Crisis:
The Unsustainable Political System of The Land Before Time. William Bake (he/him) thinks he is ‘like George Orwell but cooler’ Art by Paige Bentley
The Land Before Time, for those of you uninformed about this behemoth of a film franchise, is a series of films set around a fictional – and possibly post-apocalyptic (no, I will not elaborate) – universe in which dinosaurs possess sentience. The first film entails the main character – Littlefoot – going on a journey to the ‘Great Valley’ after being quite brutally orphaned. The rest of the franchise’s fifteen films are all based around Littlefoot, his friends, and the adventures they have in the Valley.
