Omg Land Before Time, I love that show! I grew up watching and I got very fascinated with dinosaurs that I read all about them and even bought books. You’re definitely right about the earth climate issue though, I never thought of it but now that you mention it, it’s actually a great medium to explain to our kids, they should know early so that they’ll grow up taking better care of the planet earth.
