Laserdisc of the Original Movie.

Here it is, a Laserdisc of the Original Movie, completely framed.

I can't believe I actually have a Laserdisc.

That is a very cute picture of Littlefoot. I wonder if it is any different then the dvd version of the movie or if both are exactly the same.

Well, this is actually a "Collector's Edition" of the movie, thus it having the picture of Baby Littlefoot. The original version is completely different from this.

Well since you've got all this money to spend on this LBT stuff, maybe you should throw $50 towards a better camera.

You can get a 10mp camera for about $50 nowadays. But anyways, wow. I had no idea that LBT came out on LaserDisk.

If it's the CAV version then it supposedly has some uncut version stills as extras... the movie should be the same. Or maybe it has some extra footage if the claim in the wiki article is true.

Actually, that's more or less due to me not holding the camera still when taking the picture. This happens a lot for me. For some reason, when I'm holding a camera, my hands have a mind of their own.

EDIT: And yeah, a number of the movies come out on Laserdisc. Last I recall, The Land Before Time 5 was the last one on Laserdisc, though I could be wrong.

I know some folks collect laserdiscs.

Hey guys! Big chance to get them, and there are some great deals!

Nearly all of it is "Buy It Now", so good luck!

Dang. $10 with shipping for LBT 5 on LaserDisk??? It's VERY tempting, but I've got a ton of other things I'd rather spend the $10 on. If my family wasn't in such a tough financial bind right now though, I think I'd get it. It's just waaaaaaay too kicka$$.

Hold on; are you saying that there might be footage and/or bonus materials on the laserdisc that isn't on the DVD? :! Can you confirm whether or not this is true, pokeplayer? If it is true, then I just might try to get my hands on a copy.

Killua · **Reply #10 on:** July 14, 2010, 11:45:04 PM

Do you have a player to watch it? It'd be cool to hear what sort of extras it might have.

pokeplayer984 · **Reply #11 on:** July 14, 2010, 11:55:12 PM

Unfortunately, I do not have a player to confirm it, but let me check the back for details. Hang on!

Okay, aside from the movie itself, it has the following.

Theatrical Trailer

Production notes and biographical profiles on the film's producers

Publicity photographs taken from the film.

-----------

So, if anything, it probably has pictures of the missing scenes, but I can't be certain.

landbeforetimelover · **Reply #12 on:** July 15, 2010, 12:20:02 AM

Maybe you should go get a player Pokeplayer. It would be SO kicka$$ if the movie had those deleted scenes!

At this point, I'd best wait before buying a Laserdisc Player. I spent WAY too much for the Animation Cels and getting the frames for them.

If anything, earliest I'll get a player for it is August.

Not sure how hard it will be to get a laserdisc player nowadays. Maybe some models they sell can play both laserdisc and dvd's.

Yep if it's the CAV version then it has bonus materials that aren't on the DVD. And who knows if it has this footage:

Quote from: Wikipedia on

However, brief portions of the scene which involved the mother's neck and back being bitten have since been edited out of home video releases and television airings, though this footage was present both in the theatrical cut and on earlier VHS copies of the film.

You'd probably have to go to eBay whenever you plan on getting the laserdisc player. I did see some relatively cheaper ones, around $19-$26.

Pangaea · **Reply #17 on:** July 15, 2010, 03:45:36 PM

I'm sorry; I'm not familiar with what “CAV” means.

Can you explain it to me, please? And how can I tell whether the laserdisc copy I am buying is a CAV version or not?

There are CLV and CAV versions released... you would think it's marked in the cover. pokeplayer has the CAV version obviously since it has the bonus features.

Pangaea · **Reply #19 on:** July 15, 2010, 06:12:02 PM

So…the difference between CAV and CLV is that a CAV disc has bonus features, while a CLV is just the movie on a disc?
