Did anyone try to find more about this movie script, on different sites?
I don't mind to ask this guy if we don't find anything by ourselves first.
Let's just not rush, there's plenty people we can try to ask. :D

Dammit, this ScriptFly doesn't have Paypal or some other pay system? :/
Anybody going to buy it now?

Also, I wonder: Nobody break some law if he/she posts here this script "for free"?

Today I was listening OST again, and decided to check again lenght of last track in OST, "end credits" with lenght of actual end credits... They're exact equal, second by second.
So, if If We Hold On Together wasn't somewhere in the middle of the movie before they decided to cut end credits tune and replace it with this beautiful song... Where was it? Could it be recorded and placed in the veeeeeery end, and added to soundtrack?

Thanks a lot, Snik! :) I'll look forward to seeing what the script holds, if you decide to share it. On another positive note, I received an answer from Krieger! Without further words, here's his message.

Quote
Dear ...,

Due to the extremely long time it takes to make an animated feature film -- especially back in the '80s when many of the cels were still hand-drawn, we began work on the original LBT in 1985. Over the three years of development, many scenes came and went and some sequences were actually animated but later cut for various reasons -- most of which had to do with pacing.
     In the very beginning, Steven Spielberg and George Lucas conceived the film as having no dialogue to keep it more realistic. As we worked on the story, we realized that it would be very hard to keep a young audience's attention without the characters being able to speak and show personalities beyond what we could convey through movement alone. Once we agreed that the dinosaurs had to speak, it became much easier for their personalities to take shape: Ducky's exuberance, Cera's stubbornness, Spike's laziness, etc.
      There are two cut sequences that I do remember. One involved trying to show Cera's softer side so we understood that her bravado and toughness were a front to allow her to assert herself in the pack of guys. The sequence had her lagging behind the others when she came upon a flower growing up out of the cracked earth. She stopped, nuzzled it, sniffed it, reveled in it -- and then when Littlefoot turned back to look for her, she instantly STOMPED on the flower and kicked it away to keep from being accused of being "soft." Ultimately Steven felt that the sequence slowed the story down and wasn't needed.
     The other piece (and somewhere in my files I have the original storyboards for this bit,) was a little comic relief involving a mama bird feeding cherries to her babies. The baby birds bobble and fumble the cherry knocking it from one to the other; it was just a light moment to go between all the challenges our heroes were facing on their journey. That, too, got cut because it didn't actually progress the plot and everyone decided it was better to keep the story clipping along for the young attention span.

Hope this is of interest to you and your group.

Best,

So, we have another two scenes we never knew about! The Cera scene sounds similar to what Hypno's screenshots describe but its content is different. That being said, it's great to receive another bunch of information. :)littlefoot

Edit: This post can be removed as I posted it in the wrong thread.

Interesting...I thought that second one is in the movie though (with the baby pterosaurs and the berry?). It must be a different scene because it doesn’t sound like the one Krieger described.

Oh yeah, I think you should post this in the other topic, I’m not sure if this is the right one.

Growing up I was a big LBT fan and had seen all movies and TV series episodes. On the forum, I was formerly known as Hypnobrai until Nov 11, 2017.

In recent years, I have gained an interest in the production of The Land Before Time, particularly the deleted scenes of the original film. New discoveries have been made in the last few years and continue to be made, so I feel that it is a good time to contribute.

I have always loved sharpteeth more than any other creatures in the franchise, especially the fourteenth film's Carnotaurus, the fifth film's Sharptooth, and especially the original Sharptooth.

just in case if you wrongly understood: I still didn't receive script, it is said it would take above 24 hours, so it was only my thoughts about IFHOT song. :D

Wow, we get new and new small pieces of the whole picture! Thank you for sending this letter, Sovereign, and thank you for respond, mr. Krieger!
Well, who knows, maybe there was another light "break" scenes that involved flyer's family... Anyway, I would like to look at these original storyboards. :3 MORE STORIBOARDS! MORE SCENES! XD
As for Cera's scene... Dammit, in past week, I started to like LBT1 Cera's more and more! :O (And what the fuuuuuu, Spielberg&Lucas, you again do this... T-T)

I simply don't know. It would feel weird that sharing the script would be a crime if we are to free to share screenshots of the films which also required someone to pay for them (in theory), but I'm not an expert in Maryland property laws. :p

Isn't there a Terms of Service bundled with the PDF file? I guess a company/website like this would state information, such as sharing and disclosure in a Terms of Service document somewhere, which should reveal if it's legal or not to share it openly. I'm going to look after this.

I have read through their FAQ and Policies, and I couldn't find anything that would prohibit sharing the received script, neither in physical, nor digital form.

Thank you!!! Just, a lot of English words and my lazyness didn't allow me to fully understand it. XD

Well, in this case... As "present" to all guys (and gals!) of today Defender of the Fatherland Day celebration...

ENJOY

This is absolutely awesome! :wow I've looked the whole thing through briefly (have to read it thoroughly in the coming days) and I'd say this is the biggest find in terms of the deleted scenes thus far! It was really enjoyable to see the film like its creators intended it but the way the story was originally going to flow was this piece's biggest offering, imo. It seems like the oasis scene was a good deal later than intended and the travel montage and original founding of the Valley could have been absolutely amazing scenes! The latter part of the film is totally gutted (which we had expected) and this version of the film would have worked much better than our cut! The changed dialogue was quite interesting to see too. However, some parts seemed rather cheesy, like the original "hug scene" and I'm happier with our current dialogue. Thank you so much, Sneak! This was an absolutely amazing script and I cannot overstate how happy I am that you shared it with us! :)littlefoot  ^^spike

I don't know if I should tell about my experience with these uncut scenes, because I have already in my "Introduction" post. I shouldn't, I'll just keep it to myself for now. Plus I don't want to start up another flame war/attention on this topic, right?
How sentimental. You know, I haven't been this choked up since I got a hunk of moussaka caught in my throat!

moved from Sergant's welcoming thread.

http://www.gangoffive.net/index.php?topic=16032.msg468140#msg468140

Can't add anything - if you, Sergant, believe you still have different rare version of LBT1, no matter what quality it is - it betetr should be re-recorded in any way to digital video. :)

So when you travel to your other home next time...
