A long shot, but any chance you remember a Goomba from the Super Mario Bros movie?

One of the many Land Before Time sequels?

bump for curiosity and relatable experience - I had a similar trauma from the trailer for Tarzan where he suddenly freezes at the end and looks at the viewer.
Okay, so I made an account for this website to specifically ask to see if anyone remembers a childhood trauma of mine. It was a commercial for a VHS children's movie (I'm not sure exactly which one) that was a compilation of clips from the production company's other movies. I don't remember anything about it excpet for at the very end there was a zoom in of a brown, long-necked, almost dinosaur looking creature that looks at the camera and kind of smiles. I remember being completely terrified of that particular shot and had recurring nightmares about it. I'm not sure what made it pop into my mind but I've scoured the internet and I can't find a single trace of it! It was a tape I know I watched pretty frequently so it might have been a rugrats collection of episodes or maybe a disney movie. It's going to drive me crazy if I don't find out what it is so please help if you can!!
