The Land Before Time is a 1988 American-Irish animated adventure drama film directed and co-produced by Don Bluth and executive produced by Steven Spielberg, George Lucas, Kathleen Kennedy, and Frank Marshall.
Produced by Sullivan Bluth Studios, Amblin Partners's Amblin Entertainment and Lucasfilm (despite not receiving an official credit nor the film's marketing bearing the studio's logo), it features dinosaurs living in the prehistoric times. The plot concerns a young Brontosaurus named Littlefoot who is orphaned when his mother is killed by a Tyrannosaurus Rex. Littlefoot flees famine and upheaval to search for the Great Valley, an area spared from devastation. On his journey, he meets four young companions: Cera, a Triceratops; Ducky, a Saurolophus; Petrie, a Pteranodon; and Spike, a Stegosaurus.
The film explores issues of prejudice between the different species and the hardships they endure in their journey as they are guided by the spirit of Littlefoot's mother and also forced to deal with the murderous Tyrannosaurus Rex that killed her. This is the only Don Bluth film of the 1980s in which Dom DeLuise did not participate (instead, he starred in Disney's Oliver & Company that same year), and the only film in The Land Before Time series that is not a musical, as well as the only one to be released theatrically worldwide.
Aria Noelle Curzon (born December 8, 1987) is an American actress.

She has received 3 Young Artist of Hollywood Awards, (5 nominations) 2 CARE Awards, and one CLIO Award (The CLIO being for a PSA she voiced).
At age six, Curzon realized her interest in acting and performing while watching one of her favorite Shirley Temple videos. With her mother’s help and care, she began auditioning, and by age six, she began her acting career in a Crayola commercial. In addition to acting, she is also a musician, singing and learning both guitar and fiddle, and a prize-winning Irish dancer.
She has guest starred on many television shows, including Gigantic, Without A Trace, JAG, The Pretender, and Sabrina, the Teenage Witch. Her credits include Treehouse Hostage (with Jim Varney) and Santa With Muscles, starring Hulk Hogan, Adam Wylie, and Mila Kunis, and the 2011 film The Muppets.

An aria ([ˈaːrja]; Italian: air; plural: arie [ˈaːrje], or arias in common usage, diminutive form arietta [aˈrjetta]) in music was originally any expressive melody, usually, but not always, performed by a singer. The term became used almost exclusively to describe a self-contained piece for one voice, with or without orchestral accompaniment, normally part of a larger work. The typical context for arias is opera, but vocal arias also feature in oratorios and cantatas, sharing features of the operatic arias of their periods.
The term, which derives from the Greek and Latin 'aer' (air) first appeared in relation to music in the 14th century when it simply signified a manner or style of singing or playing. By the end of the 16th century, the term 'aria' refers to an instrumental form (cf. Santino Garsi da Parma lute works, 'Aria del Gran Duca' ). By the early 16th century it was in common use as meaning a simple setting of strophic poetry; melodic madrigals, free of complex polyphony, were known as madrigale arioso.

It's here! At long, long last, after the most technical difficulties I've ever faced, against all the odds, I'm very proud to present our interview with Aria! It's so exciting that we were able to do this for our 25th episode, and that we actually made it all the way to a 25th episode at all! Thank you to everyone who has supported us along the way! Thank you to everyone again who sent in their questions, and thank you to Aria for doing this interview with us and being such a fun person to talk to. Starting after this episode, we're changing our broadcast schedule. Because Victoria and I are obviously unable to keep up with an episode per week, we're moving to biweekly episodes instead. As there will be Odyssey Adventure Club episodes every month as we move into the new year, this means th...
