When I was younger I saw a commercial on cartoon network featuring the characters from the land before time - Littlefoot, Ducky, Cera, etc - hanging out with live action kids in an outdoor setting, animated ala Roger Rabbit. I thought it was really funny and remembered it for years after that, but when I went to dig it up again to joke about it, it was nowhere to be found. No amount of digging through old cartoon network recordings has turned it up.
What was so memorable/interesting about this commercial? Well, since the characters are next to human kids, and since they happen to be dinosaurs, they're huge. They're obviously still meant to be baby dinosaurs and not as big as adults, but this advertisement decided Littlefoot is about the size of a hippo and Ducky is as big as a dog. It's a really funny visual where these childhood characters are suddenly plodding prehistoric monsters and you're left to wonder if they've totally always been that way and the prehistoric flora and fauna was so comparatively massive it obscured their real size.
This likely aired around the same time as the television series (2007). Could have been anything from a TV spot to a commercial for cartoon network's website. I don't think it was selling anything, but I could be wrong. I saw this commercial approximately twice, so it may have been bespoke to a premier or an event.
Anyone else remember this or happen to know where it is?
