I was 12, saw JP in the theaters, and was scared senseless. And yet I went back and saw it four more times that summer. I think it was the third time through before I could actually watch the whole thing without covering my eyes or ears. When it came out on VHS, my mother picked me up from school instead of me taking the bus home, took me to the store, and bought me a copy. I wore out that VHS tape. Now it's something I consider a comfort movie.

But anyway, my whole point in replying is to tell you that you are not alone with your parents trying so hard to foster that love of dinosaurs and somehow blundering it all anyway. I, too, was obsessed as a kid. When I was 7 or 8, my father went to the video store and said to the clerk "My daughter is sick and she loves dinosaurs. Do you have a movie she would like?" and the clerk asked how old I was. When my father gave my age, the clerk handed him The Land Before Time. Not a scary movie in the slightest, but when Littlefoot's mother died? I ran screaming from the living room, refused to watch the rest of the movie, and had to sleep at the foot of my mother's side of the bed for a week straight. I don't think my poor father ever forgave himself for that one.

The scene where Littlefoot's mother is getting attacked by the T-Rex TERRIFIED me as a child. To this day I still think about the scene and how traumatizing it is. Amazing that they put such a violent scene into a kid's movie, although all you really see is the shadow's on the rock.
