Mr. Thicknose is a character in The Land Before Time film series. Mr. Thicknose, a Pachyrhinosaurus, is, or was, a very respected individual in the Great Valley community and served as a teacher to the children of the Valley. However, his pedagogy was that of being a "know-it-all." The adults of the Valley would send him their children to receive a primary education; they assumed that Mr. Thicknose was indeed a polymath and could effectivily instruct their children.
However, this changed during the Big Freeze. Littlefoot proved that he saw snow; when this happened, Mr. Thicknose was verbally attacked by the grownups for not warning them before the snow got heavier. Broken hearted, he walks away to near the pass to sit down and sulk; he apparently sits for some time, judging by the snow that fell on him. He then accompanies Littlefoot and the others to the Mysterious Beyond where they have an encounter with a "Sharptooth" and find a hot spring, with much food. There, they discover the truth that Mr. Thicknose has never been to the Mysterious Beyond before, and his knowledge comes not from primary sources (that is, his own research) but rather from secondary sources . They also discover that when he was young, he was very shy and quiet that nobody ever paid any attention to hime
It is not known whether or not he resumed his teaching position after the Big Freeze; however he appeared in The Mysterious Tooth Crisis episode of the TV series. When Chomper's tooth fell out, the children went to Mr. Thicknose for help, so it can be assumed that the dinosaurs of the Great Valley still find his information useful and go to him when something happens with which they have no personal experience.
His name reflects his species name which means "thick nose lizard" or "thick nose reptile." Other dinosaurs have been known to have species names as surnames or family names, such as Mr. Clubtail. Grandpa Longneck and Topsy address one another consistently as "Longneck" and "Threehorn".
He appeared in the film The Land Before Time VIII: The Big Freeze, voiced by Robert Guillaume, and has been seen in The Land Before Time TV series, voiced by Dorian Harewood.
