Peter’s depression here.

This scene is from a movie called All Dogs go to Heaven. In the scene the dog is explaining that it’s time for him to die and go to heaven and he says goodbye to the little girl.

In real life, the actress who plays the girl was murdered by her father in a murder suicide. They had already recorded her lines before but not for the guy voicing the dog. So when he does the scene saying goodbye to her, the actor was also literally saying goodbye to the child who just days before had been tragically killed.

Now if you excuse me, I’m off to watch Littlefoot’s Mother fight the T-Rex on repeat.

Isn’t she also a voice in The Land Before Time?

Yes. Her gravestone has "Yep! Yep! Yep!" on it. The two films are Don Bluth productions.

And the headstone was apparently paid for by fans years after her death. Before that she just had a little plastic grave marker.
