The Land Before Time still means a lot to people, and what we’re doing with Littlefoot makes moments like these feel even more personal.
#TheLandBeforeTime #Littlefoot #JohnPomeroy
On paper, it’s a heist‑romance. On screen, it’s really a film about sound and silence, and how they control the tension in every scene. Leo Woodall’s performance is already great, but the sound design turns his inner world into a third main character that’s constantly pushing and pulling at him.
What I loved most is that the sound never feels like a gimmick. It’s precise, immersive and weirdly emotional – you’re not just watching the plot unfold, you’re hearing the pressure, the fear and the focus from the inside. If you can, don’t watch Tuner on your phone first; find a cinema and let the mix do its thing.
🎬 TUNER – directed by @daniel_roher, starring @leowoodall, Dustin Hoffman and Havana Rose Liu, with sound design by @johnnie_burn and score by @willbatescomposer. With the fantastic @blackbearpics @blackbearuk and Elevation Pictures behind the film

For years, The Land Before Time has meant so much to so many people, including me. It shaped how I think about storytelling, emotion, and what animation can do when it really reaches the heart. To be able to speak with one of the people who helped create that world was genuinely unforgettable.
This video is part interview, part reflection, and part love letter to the film that inspired LITTLEFOOT. If you love animation, filmmaking, or The Land Before Time, I think you’ll really enjoy this one.
The full interview will be available on John Pomeroy’s channel as well, so please go and support him there too.

So how did The Land Before Time bring them to life without the wave of pop culture references we have today?
In our recent interview, animation legend John Pomeroy breaks down how the team leaned on a mix of paleontology, raw artistic instinct, and classic animation principles to create dinosaurs that felt real, emotional, and timeless. No internet. No endless reference libraries. Just research, observation, and a deep understanding of character.
And maybe that’s why Littlefoot and the gang still hit so hard.
They weren’t just designed to look like dinosaurs, they were built to feel human.
That same philosophy runs through the entire film. Like the dark Disney classics that inspired it, The Land Before Time doesn’t shy away from grief or loss. It trusts its audience to handle those emotions and in doing so, creates something that sticks with you for life.
If you’re telling stories today, there’s something to take from that. You don’t need perfect references or cutting-edge tools, you need truth in the emotion and clarity in the character.
Pinch us. Last month the Littlefoot team and I sat down with John Pomeroy (@pomeroyartacademy), the directing animator behind Cera and a key creative force on The Land Before Time. From The Secret of NIMH to Pocahontas, Atlantis, and Treasure Planet, his work has shaped generations of animation and storytelling. Having him engage with our 15-minute Littlefoot project genuinely means the world.
#landbeforetime #animation #donbluth #filmmaking
In our recent interview with John Pomeroy he explains how Bambi, Pinocchio and the classic Disney era proved that children’s stories could confront real trauma and still leave you with hope.
From The Land Before Time to today’s indie animation, the most powerful films don’t protect us from the dark they guide us through it. You can’t feel the true height of the emotional “highs” unless you’ve walked through the “lows,” and that philosophy is all over this conversation about grief, loss and catharsis in storytelling.
If you’re making your own short film, don’t water it down. Lean into the raw emotions, let the audience cry, and then give them a way through it. That’s how stories stay with people decades later.
Pinch us. Last month the LIttlefoot team and myself got to sit down with animation legend John Pomeroy @pomeroyartacademy) producer and directing animator of The Land Before Time and the guy who helped bring Cera to life on screen. He co-produced and animated classics like The Secret of NIMH, An American Tail, All Dogs Go to Heaven and Thumbelina, before returning to Disney to supervise iconic characters like John Smith in Pocahontas and lead animation on films such as Atlantis: The Lost Empire and Treasure Planet. His credits stretch from Winnie the Pooh and Tigger Too all the way to Curious George and The Simpsons Movie, and he’s been part of the Academy’s Shorts & Animation branch since the late 1970s – so having him believe in and talk about our 15-minute Littlefoot project genuinely means the world to us.

Welcome to LITTLEFOOT 🦕
Littlefoot is a 15-minute independent animated short film inspired by The Land Before Time, created as a fan film tribute to the original story.
POKÉMON WINDS AND WAVES IS ABOUT TO CHANGE. MY. LIFE.
I have not felt this level of hype since opening Pokémon Red for the first time as a kid. The music. The starters. The region. The vibes. This feels like the start of something special.
If you grew up with Pokémon like I did, you’ll understand why this hits different. It’s not just a new game. It’s a new adventure. A new journey. A new chapter for all of us.
In this vide
When Pikachu becomes the new intern, what could possibly go wrong? 😇
By 9 AM he “fixed” the Wi-Fi (RIP network 💥). By 10 he was napping in the server room. By noon, Thunderbolt took out the coffee machine.
And yes, I’m a massive fan—Pokémon turns 30, and I’m beyond excited for tomorrow!
Pretty sure “Bring Your Pokémon to Work Day” is canceled now. HR is still investigating. 🤞

recently shared this in a talk: If you don’t market yourself, no one will know who you are. It’s not about ego it’s about sharing your passion.
So here I am: talking about my work, my journey, and the projects I’m pouring my heart into. If you’re a creator, don’t be shy your work deserves to be seen.
AJ is best known as Gambit in X-Men ’97, Marty McFly in Back to the Future: The Game, and Prince Lotor in Voltron: Legendary Defender, with a career packed full of iconic characters across animation, games, and screen.
Petrie’s voice is so iconic and so different from almost any other character, and that’s what made casting him so hard. Loads of people were amazing, but AJ hit the nail on the head perfectly. The second we heard it, it just felt right.
That voice is Petrie and Petrie couldn’t be in better hands.
Having AJ on board is honestly surreal. This project is a pure passion piece, and to have someone of his talent and love for storytelling involved means everything to us.
Welcome to the herd, AJ 🦕
#CristinaVee #Cera #VoiceActing #AnimationFans #DinosaurFans #Littlefoot #IndieFilm #VoiceActor #AnimationShort
Every single person involved in LITTLEFOOT came into this project with genuine care, respect, and love for the story. From day one, everyone understood how important these characters are, and how much they mean to so many people.
Hearing these characters come to life through voices I grew up with is something I never imagined would actually be real. It’s been emotional, surreal, and incredibly humbling.
To make this world feel even more alive, we’ve also brought in a number of cameos throughout the film. Familiar voices from actors, dinosaur lovers, and film creators who joined us for one simple reason, because they love this story as much as we do.
This film has been built on trust, passion, and a huge amount of heart. I’m endlessly grateful to everyone who believed in it and gave their time and talent to help bring LITTLEFOOT to life.
I genuinely cannot wait for you to experience it.

This lil trailer is made entirely from those moments.
The Land Before Time meant a lot to many of us growing up. It taught us about love, loss, courage, and growing up without ever talking down to its audience. That feeling has stayed with me my whole life, and it’s the heart of what we’re trying to honour with Littlefoot. Seeing how deeply this story still connects with people has been overwhelming in the best way.
And this is only the beginning. Very soon, we’ll be announcing the cast of Littlefoot.
Thank you to everyone who shared their reactions and their memories. This film exists because of that love.
After 2 years of fighting to get this film off the ground we have finally built the most amazing team. And today we get to celebrate something truly special. The first ever animated test shot of our protagonist LITTLEFOOT.
Brought to life beautifully by the incredible @matthewcreator9, @ireguamedivad, @zachary_horner, @reb.eck @giannelli182 @marti_carlux and @summerjoules_official
This project has been a rollercoaster of emotion from day one. So to finally see Littlefoot move. breathe. exist. It hit all of us. A few tears were definitely shed.
To the team… thank you. You continue to pull off the most incredible things and you make this dream real every single day.

They were hidden inside a video game.
Before filmmaking, before short films, before any of this I was making YouTube videos breaking down the story of Call of Duty: Zombies. Digging into the lore, the easter eggs, the characters. Trying to piece together a story most people didn’t even realise was there.
That’s where my love for storytelling really began.
This video is a reminder to creatives that stories aren’t just found on film sets or in scripts. They’re everywhere; games, music, conversations, moments you just have to care enough to look for them.
🎮 You can find stories anywhere.
@CallofDuty
Call of Duty is a long running first person shooter video game franchise developed by studios including Infinity Ward, Treyarch, and Sledgehammer Games. The series is known for fast paced gunplay, cinematic campaigns, competitive online multiplayer, and cooperative modes.
Since its launch in 2003, Call of Duty has become one of the most successful video game franchises of all time, with yearly releases across console and PC.
Call of Duty Zombies is a cooperative game mode within the Call of Duty franchise, primarily developed by Treyarch. In Zombies mode, players work together to survive increasingly difficult waves of undead enemies while completing objectives, unlocking weapons, upgrading perks, and uncovering hidden storylines known as Easter eggs.
Zombies is known for its round based survival gameplay, deep lore, iconic maps, and replayability, making it one of the most popular modes in Call of Duty history.
This project has been a rollercoaster of emotion from day one. So to finally see Littlefoot move. breathe. exist. It hit all of us. A few tears were definitely shed.
To the team… thank you. You continue to pull off the most incredible things and you make this dream real every single day.
A tense late-night shift turns into a panic spiral when the security guard hears someone dying over the intercom and tries every excuse not to investigate. It’s dark, chaotic, awkwardly funny and absolutely inspired by the FNAF universe.
Directed by myself
Starring @issievictoria @jessibatesmcintyre @_wiktoriastachura and myself!
DOP and everything else @nicky__dop
We filmed this on @canonuk using @irixlens lenses with @aputure.europe and @amarancreators lighting to give it that gritty night-shift atmosphere and of course @siruiimaging tripods
I want to keep making more micro shorts like this. If you’re in the Midlands and want to get involved as talent or crew, DM me. Let’s build something cool together.
Huge love to the creators who built this world.
