The Land Before Time IV: Journey Through the Mists is a 1996 American direct-to-video animated adventure musical film produced by Universal Animation Studios (formerly known as Universal Cartoon Studios) and directed by Roy Allen Smith.

This was also the final film to feature Linda Gary as the voice of Grandma Longneck, as she died on October 5, 1995.

According to the Old One, the illness is lethal to any dinosaur and can only be cured by eating the petals of the "golden night flower", which only grows in the Land of Mists.

Meanwhile, Littlefoot tries to find a way out and meets Archie, an old male Archelon who helps him dig through the rocks.

Archie shows Littlefoot and his friends a way to the Land of Mists and reminds them to stay close together before departing.

Later, Ali explains her prejudicial behavior, having never interacted with species outside of her own, but remarks that her attitude towards Littlefoot's friends has now changed.

Dil becomes upset at Ichy, but they resume the chase after Cera gives their alternate hiding spot away, during which Ducky falls into a river and becomes unconscious.

[2] TV Guide rated it 2/5 stars and wrote: "Memories of Don Bluth's engaging original The Land Before Time continue to grow dimmer with this indifferent sequel to the animated dinosaur saga".
