The Land Before Time - Whispering Winds 

I'm gonna take a big risk and say the death of Littlefoots mother was sadder than Mufasa's death. T_T

The saddest scene is when Littlefoot sees his enlarged shadow and gets excted and happy thinking its his mother.

"Let your heart guide you... It whispers... so listen closely..."

Rest in peace to James Horner. This was always his favorite score for me.

This is the song you may have heard when you realized what death meant as a kid. Kid movies of the 80's be heavy.

This score still makes me cry as a 30 year old man. I’m not joking.

The difference between Littlefoot's mother, Mufasa, and Bambi's mother is we don't even see what happens to Bambi's mother, Mufasa is just limp and unresponsive so it's sad, yeah, but Littlefoot's mom endures a courageous battle and dies right in front of him while comforting him. And then he goes on to mistake his own shadow for her. That's soooo much harder.

This is how loss feels. A great eerie void in your heart. This song is literally heartbreaking.

Why in the hell am I crying? I'm a grown man with a giant beard. How is this possible? Damn song

I don't know what it is about this music but it REALLY punches you in the gut with sadness. I used to cry when Littlefoot's mom died but watching it 20 years later man it hits even harder.

Hearing this as a 32 year old man still brings me so much nostalgia. I remember being little and playing with dinosaurs and then my mom came into the room excited to show me what she had for me, my mom would always do her absolute best to try to make me happy and surprise me with little things here and there. She then showed me the box for this film. Immediately I got excited seeing the dinosaurs. I grabbed my two favorite toys and ran to sit on the couch as she put the movie in to the VCR. She turned and smiled at me and put a blanket on me. As I watched the movie she was making me food. The movie was going great until “THE Scene” that was my earliest memory of feeling grief, heartbreak, sadness over the loss of a parent. My mom came back to the living room and saw that I was sad, she immediately put the food down and simply gave me a hug. She didn’t ridicule me or tell me to stop being sad. She just held me and let me know that she wasn’t going anywhere and she would always be with me. To this day that will always be one of my absolute favorite memories. I love you so much mom. I’ll never be able to put into words how grateful I am for everything.

"Littlefoot, do you remember the way to the Great Valley?" "Yes, but why do I have to remember? You're going to be with me!" "Of course Littlefoot. I'll always be with you. In your heart..." "M-Mother?... Mother?!"

Farewell, James Horner. May you forever be remembered for your legacy of inspiration through music.

I swear to god, I'm gonna make a masterpiece like this. I'm gonna make my dad proud.

With all the sad moments in the movie, the very tragic death of Judith Barsi "the little girl who played Ducky" and now James Horner. Can this movie be any sadder.

A very close friend of mine, Ben, passed away today at 2:07am.... godspeed, Benjamin.. you'll always be there, even if I can't see you.

"Dear littlefoot. Do you know how to reach the great valley?" littlefoot shakes his head. "Follow the bright circle pass the great rock that looks like a long neck and pass the mountains that burn." "I will be in your heart littlefoot." " let your heart to guide you." the most emotional and powerful scene.

To James Horner and Judith Barsi, Thank you both for my amazing childhood.

Hey James, I wanted to say thank you for all these wonderful scores. You helped me through a lot of my own dark depression, and still do sometimes. Your scores for 'A Beautiful Mind', 'Avatar', 'Bicenntenial Man', 'Titanic', and heck, even 'The Amazing Spider Man' really did a number on me. But none so wrenching as this track, this single track, that brings back years and years of long forgotten childhood. A time and place, and a sound, where I realized what death meant. It's only now with your passing, and this song that shows your own understanding of mourning, that I truly do appreciate the time we are given. Thanks, James. Thank you. I hope you're in a Great Valley of your own, for you have surely left a Great Valley in the hearts of many. Rest in peace; you've deserved it.

This is just ridiculous! The music alone has me crying! 😩😭

I'm 24 now, haven't heared this song in 14 years...goosebumps all over...

It's been 20+ years since I have seen this movie, and within 5 seconds of the song I got the biggest rush of nostalgia I think I've ever felt. I remember watching this with my mom when I was about 5-6 years old and just crying my eyes out for most of the movie. Every kid should watch this masterpiece of a movie. That being said, I'm kind of afraid of watching this movie again. I can't even get through this score without crying, and I'm not talking about a single tear down the cheek.

I come back to this video every now and then. Such a barrage of feels. For one, the scene where Little Foot's mother passes on is heart-rending. Then the music itself is so powerfully evocative that it could move one to tears without the story. And finally, for me, I'm not just hit with memories of the movie, but memories from my little world as it was when I watched the movie. Intense nostalgia. I remember playing this movie over and over again with my brother. Those certainly felt like more innocent days... VHS tapes. No internet, no cell phones. Sigh.

Every kid has a special bond with his mother, so this movie will definitely tug at the heart strings of anybody who watches it, kids included. Of course the music makes it even sadder. Only recently did I watch this movie again for the first time in about 20 years with my 3 year old niece, and holy cow it is even sadder than I remember. Not just the mother's death scene but they really drag it out with this sad music and the mother being with Littlefoot on his journey throughout. There's always that constant reminder that his mother is not with him anymore. Probably the saddest moment in any animation movie ever. They wouldn't dare make a movie like this today. It's too deep and slightly depressing throughout. But great.

why dont they make movies like this anymore..

0:00 - 1:55 Littlefoots try to find her mother and..... *cry* 1:55 - 3:39 Littlefoot slide down and stumble upon other old dino and have his first word of wisdom 3:39 - 4:34 Bunch of baby Flyer in a snatch frenzy to get that one little cherry, yet in the end being taken away by a dino?. Despite all their effort, a mama Flyer pop out and give cherry to each of her baby flyer 4:35 - 5:03 one baby flyer stumble upon littlefoot and give him the cherry just to make him happy yet he still in denial upon the death of his mother and sleep. baby flyer sad. 5:04 - 6:32 Littlefoot's Mother souls passing her word to littlefoots and guide him also receive the tree star leaf, littlefoot carrying on. 6:33 - 7:16 Littlefoot hallucinate his mother on the rock wall, he run toward the wall and realize it just his shadow. 7:17 - 7:56 Littlefoot meet Cera 7:56 - 8:31 Cera fall and slide down the trench 8:32 - 9:00 Cera refuse to accept Littlefoot's offer of companion, He carrying on alone. I still remember the scene just by listen to this song. it been like 12 years now.

The Land Before Time should be remastered and re-released in movie theaters, same as they did to a few other classic movies.

goddammit why is this the only thing that can consistently make me cry?

What a sad movie.... This song... His mother... Everything that happened in real life to Ducky... Just sad.

James Horner knows how to bring the monst fragile and beautiful emotions to surface. The notes are incredibly soft, thin, vibrant and haunting... this piece never gets old.

Littlefoot. Littlefoot. Dear Littlefoot, do you remember the way to the Great Valley? Follow the bright circle past the great rock that looks like a long-neck and past the mountains that burn. I'll be in your heart, Littlefoot. Let your heart guide you.

What a music god... This music made all the difference in the movie... Thank you james horner.

Rest in peace. His music was synonymous with many parts of my childhood.

At 35 years old, this is making me cry😪, I use to cry at this scene all the time when I was little. I can't imagine my life without my mother or my father.

From 6:08-7:56. A truly heartbreaking score. Animation has really fallen down toilet in the last 26 years. Fuck Frozen.

6:47 began the most powerful bars of music Horner ever wrote. It's the scene where Littlefoot chased his own shadow on that rock thinking it was his mother. Horner always likened his work to a tapestry that had to be woven just right to fit its setting. He was a thread master shaping my ear for music since I could remember my first notes. Nobody was better.

6:00-7:52 I used in a video for my friend who just passed away...him and his dog died a few weeks apart, they loved each other so much. Found videos of them playing, rolling around together in his yard. Watching the birds together as the waves rolled in from Lake Michigan. Beautiful life. Wonderful music...always meant so much to me.

I am crying right now, this morning my grandmother died, who bought me a DVD with this cartoon 10 years ago...

If we hold on forever, I know our dreams will never die Rest in Peace James Horner.

...Am I the only one who can't listen to this without crying?

RIP JAMES HORNER. Love you and you made my childhood for this movie the best. Best wishes to you and your family

My god! The nostalgia... :' )

dam it i can't start crying on the first note

i wanna go back to my childhood ..... :'(

6:06 warms my heart to the core. Makes me feel like a child.

Used to watch this all the time as a child, reminds Me of My Nanny and Pop, My god I miss them, the times We used to go around to their flat and watch all of these movies as young children, will always hold a place in my heart, those memories will last forever. R.I.P Nanny and Pop

i remember putting this movie in the vhs to watch again... but this time i was watching without my little brother who just passed away from cancer. i never felt more alone then knowing that i would never spend time with him anymore. its been so long and i miss you dearly to this day Steven :)

4:27 rip headphones users

RIP James Horner

RIP When I heard he died, this is the first song I thought of that he composed....

I'm 22 years old. I lost my mom 6 months ago. This was my favorite movie as a child. She would put it on for me all the time. I miss my mom, I miss my childhood. This film means so much to me, i'm not sure if I could capture it in a single comment.

5:03 is right around when I start to try not to cry. But I love the whole thing to bits - this is my favorite track. James Horner has an incredible gift for translating emotions and scenes into music. One of the many reasons this movie is such a nostalgic part of my childhood is because the music affected me so profoundly as a kid. Listening to just the music brings back so many fond, bittersweet memories of a time when my world was so very simple and full of constant awe and wonder.

Thank you for all the views and comments everybody :) and also may james rip :'(

I miss my son everyday. He's alive and well, I just don't get to see him at the moment. I listen to this and remember watching this with him. Love you Sailor Ray 💙

2018 and still beautiful

I wonder who disliked this fantastic theme...

Well it appears James Horner himself has died. Just made the music ten times sadder. :(

All aboard! The emotion train is ready to start.

RIP James Horner 🌹

Terribly sad loss to the world of music. So many incredible pieces to thank him for.

RIP James Horner. Thank you for giving us such beautiful music. Your music touched my heart, and I will be forever grateful. Thank you.

Rest in peace Mommy, cant not think about you when I hear this

"Dear sweet Littlefoot do you remember the way to the Great Valley?" 🕊

He brought us magnificent worlds, brightened our childhood and captivated us even after, his harmonies were heard by many and I will miss him dearly. What an astonishing composer, we are all so lucky to have his music in our lives. Farewell James Horner.

Listening in honor of James Horner, the composer, who died tonight.

This was one of my favorite movies as a kid and I still love it today. As much as I wish I could be a kid again, I would never want to be a kid nowadays. I'm glad I got to be a 90's kid. Back when kids were allowed to be kids. Unlike today's kids. At least the ones I've met and talked too.

It must've been more than 15 years since I saw this movie, when a was a small child. But hearing this song after all this time, and reading some of the comments here, it almost brings it back to me. I do feel my eyes watering up. Movie magic is a remarkable thing.

(Littlefoot wanders in the desert tearfully, but suddenly slips off from a cliff, slide down and accidentally landed on Rooter's back, waking him up) Rooter: Hey! (Littlefoot jumps off of Rooter as he stands up and starts sniffing) What's going on here? (Then looks at Littlefoot's depression in confusion) What's your problem? You're not hurt. Littlefoot: (Upset) It's not fair. She should have known better! That was Sharptooth. It's all her fault... Rooter: All who's fault? Littlefoot: Mother's! Rooter: (Realizes) Ooh. I see. I see. Littlefoot: (Tearfully) Why did I wander so far from home?! Rooter: (Compassionates) Oooh. It's not your fault. It's not your mother's fault. Now, you pay attention to old Rooter. It is nobody's fault. The great circle of life has begun, but you see, not all of us arrived together in the end. Littlefoot: (Still worries) What would I do? I've missed her so much. Rooter: And you always miss her, but she'll always be with you as long as you remember the things she taught you. In a way, you'll never be apart for you are still a part of each other. Littlefoot: My tummy hurts... Rooter: Well, that too will go in time little fella, only in time.

James, say hi to Judith and Pat for us.

James Horner knows what he's doing when it comes to evoking human emotions that's for sure. I get goose bumps everytime I hear his scores. But this one in particular, gets me everytime. :,( poor Littlefoot.

Thank you for the childhood memories James. May you rest in peace.

The weirdest thing about my childhood was that the death of Bambi's mother didn't tear me up near as much as I thought it should. The death of Littlefoot's mother on the other hand? Oh my god, nothing can prepare me for the tears, even to this day.

They should definitely do a remake of this movie!!

GOD right in the childhood, the feels of this vid just kills me, my heart is getting wrenched into pieces lol in a good way. Why am I so happy, yet so sad? I guess the nostalgia is just that overwhelming, i'm so happy that I got to remember such a happy part of my childhood, but sad that its over you know? I guess we all feel that way if were LBT kids, I love majority of the movies but the first will always be my favorite, just the style it had and oh god, little foots mom scene, too much feels

Born in '95. But my parents were so awesome to let me watch this. The nostalgia is to much in this one. :,)

Something you'll never forget in your childhood, especially the magical moments. One special moment I'll remember for ever which can relate to this, is walking home from school when I was a kid, through a field during a cold winter, then tears began to run down my cheeks, because Littlefoot, Cera, Ducky, Petrie and Spike weren't appearing in my dreams anymore. The only times I could connect and play with them. I hope I live long enough for us humans to create technology to visit dreams of our choice, I believe one day, I'll see them again.

4:25 OMG IM IN A ROLLERCOASTER FOR 10 SECONDS!

Great goodness, James Horner was a god. He also made the music for Titanic and Avatar. And the media didn't even mentioned his passing. What a great man he was.

This song sends shivers from head to toe and brings tears to my eyes. I'm at work so I need to hide from my colleague in front of me lol. So much childhood memories... Will always be one of the most powerful movies of my early life.

;-; Every time I see the movie I always cry at that scene. Such a powerful and strong scene. Such a classic this movie was. Rip James Horner and LittleFoots mother and of course Judith Barsi who was brutally murdered at age 10 and voiced Ducky. One of the most emotional and beautiful movies of all time. They do not make them like these anymore

So, the composer to this soundtrack, James Horner, is dead from a plane crash. This Monday fucking sucks. :'(

It is utterly ridiculous that some people have actually hit the "dislike" button. This is the peak of one of the most beautiful film scores ever made. I simply cannot fathom having such a lack of taste.

the mothers in my family always tack this bit on when they pray: give me life until my children know how to defend themselves. this movie always makes me cry and it opened my eyes a little of the life of those who have lost mothers when young

Little foots mother's death was hands down more destroying than Mufasa...

"Littlefoot, let your heart guide you. It whispers, so listen closely." -Mama Longneck

Someday, whenever that day will be, I'll have children of my own. And like my own parents who blessed me with growing up with this movie, sparking my imagination and wonder in things beyond our own world, my children will also see this film. While my own childhood is gone, never to return, and only to remember, seeing my children's eyes widen and sparkle while watching this movie will fill me with such joy, that I know I'll be able to relive my childhood with them, if only for a short while.

This song give memories around 2000 when I was 7 years old and watch this movie couple of times, the same Like then now it makes my cry..

Very sad to hear of Mr Horner's death. He was one of my favourite composers. The world has just lost another great artist.

"Dear Sweet Littlefoot, do you remember the way to the Great Valley?" "I guess so but why do i have to know? You're going to be with me" "I'll be with you, even if you can't see me" "What do you mean i can't see you? I can always see you" "Littlefoot, let your heart guide you...it whispers...so listen closely" "Mother?..Mother?!"

Best childhood ever. Still gives me tears :')

The only music that can make me sob for a solid 9 minutes!!! 💔😫😭😭😭😭

Anytime I have had a love one die that music comes into my mind it's very sad but as very moving.

R.I.P.James Horner. Your music made me cry!!😢😥

Our doggie died unexpectedly one hour ago. 14 years old. He was such a precious. Wanted to hear this song right in the second i received the message. Hope he is well now.

Every time I hear this I think about my grandma who past away two years ago. I cried so much and god I missed her

From the beginning to 3:40, to borrow the line from the Tin Man in the 1939 "The Wizard of Oz": "Now I know I have a heart, because it's breaking." You will never be forgotten, James Horner.

R.I.P Timeless music... So powerful... Just incredible... :')

I didn't know I could be assaulted with nostalgia, oh my feels~

This really gets to me because when I watched this my mother was battling with serious cancer in its late stages. as a 3 year old the scene with littlefoots mother and what was happeninf in my life was all too similar. I surpressed all those emotions until one day I watched the movie again. Never have I cried so much, never have I felt more grateful to have the people in my life. Especially my mother.

everytime when I hear this, I always begin to cry and it never stops, it's so beautiful but so sad and heartbreaking :'(
