Title: Uncut version
Post by: Evan Smith on July 26, 2011, 08:41:37 PM
So Ive heard a rumour that in 1995 and 1998 Finnish Television broadcast an uncut version of The Land Before Time. This is backed up by an article on Wikipedia and various people telling me they remember watching it.
I also heard that a German television station broadcasts the uncut version every year
I would love to see the uncut version, but from what I gather Don Bluth was made to scrap nearly 10 minutes of footage because it was too violent by Spielberg. Since Spielberg also replaced guns with radios in E.T, hes unlikely to ever release the footage, and Universal are unlikely to replace any 'scary' footage since theyre trying to make LBT as kid friendly as possible.
According to Bluth, the footage has all been destroyed. But how can this be, when certain deleted scenes can be seen in the trailer and we have the apparent uncut bradcasts in '98 and '95. I wonder if anyone recorded these airings. I doubt we can ever find all 10 minutes of uncut footage, as much of the cut footage will have been cut before it was animated. But we know not all of it was, due to prints and footage from the trailer

In short, the uncut version must still exist to this day, in the form of the versions Finnish and German TV own, and in the form of recordings from the '95 and '98 airings
Now how do we go about tracking them down?
Where do we go to find people who recorded the uncut version?
Can we petition the German and Finnish TV stations?
Can we petition Spielberg or Universial?

I'm not sure if any members here live or know anyone who lives in Finland, but Malte lives, or use to live, in Germany.  Not sure if he still does or not.   You can pm him about that.  

As for the trailers, it may be due to that was either made as the movie was made.  Though I've heard that at least some movie trailers are made by a different company or team that makes the movie.  No idea if it is true or not.

I am from Germany and this version is the full cut movie. That it is uncut is only a rumour, because someone has read that the playtime is 75 minutes.

And if you look into some other forums, even the Don Bluth animation forum, some people state that they own records of the 1995 airing from Finnland and it is also full cut. So this could also be a rumour.

Indeed this is only a rumor (I'm from Germany too), while for all we know from our Finnish members an uncut version, or at least one containing a number of scenes not found in the English or German version of the movie has been aired there in the past. So far our Finnish members haven't had a chance to record one of these extended airings of LBT though.

Well, delete wouldn't really be the correct term, since the film was made back during the days of physical rolls of film. But yeah, your point still stands.

In those days, the term for removing footage from a film for good would be that the footage "Ends up on the cutting room floor", since the lengths of film are physically snipped off the final reel, most likely swept away with the garbage.

But still, they said the same things about Fritz Lang's Metropolis, and they're finding new cut footage from that all the time. So, I'm not quite giving up hope altogether. I'm just keeping the possibility of an ucut version existing somewhere, as a pleasant forethought.

No I don't think so. I simply remember them too well, and I found out many scenes that were in my mind, but was not sure, on the cels I discovered later. And those dialogues in books, exactly as I remembered, even how the characters said them.

I am not going to say that I don't believe you, (I've pretty much given up hope for an uncut version to happen myself.) but I will say that your "evidence" isn't really all that sound.

First off, the fact that it comes from Wikipedia, a site ANYONE can edit.  I do understand that the mods there have started taking their job more seriously then back when it was first made, but things can still slip through.  A lie still pops up there every now and then, and sadly, I do recall "The Land Before Time" being abused of lies for some time. (The infamous "Growing Sky Stone" rumor, anyone?) So yeah, with Wikipedia, I really don't trust it all that much.

Second, why would they choose to do an uncut version in Finnish or German, but not other languages?  If it did exist, did it not do well or something?  They could've at least done a special in every language.  It would be the reasonable thing to do in the end.  Really, I don't believe the one-time airing deal.  It just doesn't add up.

Finally, there is a piece of evidence that makes it sway towards it never happening.  Something only a number of us members know.  Basically, Don Bluth did a podcast once where he answered some questions about his career.  One of the mods here went to the length of asking what happened to the scenes that were cut out.  Don Bluth commented that the last one to have the footage for it was Steven Spielberg.  No one's sure what Spielberg did with them.  On the off-chance they are in a vault, we await the day they are released to the world.  Still, there's no telling what happened to those scenes at all.

Add on the fact others have stated that they haven't found anything, it just really doesn't add up.

A part of me does want to believe you, but there's just too much evidence here.  I'm sorry.

Post by: Petrie85 on July 27, 2011, 08:08:57 PM
That's fine. And part of me also wants to believe that there really is a uncut version of the movie is still out there. I bet somewhere deep into the vault it exist's someplace. I want to believe that. I really do. But where do we look to find the uncut. If Finland and other countries like Germany and else where don't have it where else could it be? We have to fine the answers out. And go look for it some place. I'm sure it's out there still. It's got to be.

At the moment, with all that disappointments, I tend to believe the best we can hope for is that there either is some kind of uncut press release or Bluth/one of his team members has a hidden personal copy that someday will be discovered in the estate.

Post by: jansenov on July 29, 2011, 10:34:24 AM
There was an journal entry in January this year on Deviantart by Shuvuuia, a person from Finland who read Pikkutassu's comments on some other forum and decided to investigate the rumor of the 1995 airing. According to him/her, an old issue of Helsingin Sanomat (a Finnish daily), released on the day of the airing, stated that the movie was 60 minutes long. However, he/she also asked some of his/her friends about the airing, and they also remembered in vivid detail parts of dialogue and scenes that weren't supposed to be there. So, either the journalists quoted the wrong data (for example, a 1988 Washington Post article stated the duration of the movie to be 80 minutes), or we are witnessing a mass psychological phenomenon. Also, it would be useful if somebody with a deviantart account would contact this person.

Also, regarding the German airing, according to Prisma TV, a German online TV program, the first movie was aired on Super RTL in 2002, 2004, 2009, 2010 and 2011. On Super RTL a feature movie is usually reprised at next day's afternoon without the commercials. End credits are usually not shown due to a tight schedule. On Prisma TV one can see that the Saturday afternoon airings in 2010 and 2011 were 60 minutes long, but those in 2002 and 2004 were 65 minutes long. In 2009 LBT was shown only on Friday evening.

I remember seeing the alternate ending and the berry scene. I'm not saying this isn't group psychology at work (though it is unlikely becuase of geographical and temporal distances involved), but something stinks here.

And I reluctantly agree with WeirdRaptor. I'm afraid that we as a communtiy are too small to make a difference and that too much time has passed.

Well, I watched Super RTL in my childhood, and I'm sure I watched the 2002 and 2004 airings with my friends, but I can't remember any of the lost scenes, if there were lost scenes. :(

The movie was aired at the "Cartoon Special" on Friday evening. Super RTL used to have a "Cartoon Special" or even a "Cartoon Night" every Friday. Ah, the good old days...

No. The extended Spike's birth scene is after Spike falls asleep after eating his nest, Littlefoot, Cera, and Petrie find Ducky and she asks them if Spike can go with them. Littlefoot doesn't mind but Cera does not want him to come because she thinks he will slow them down.

My guess is that it was meant to show the difference between the harsh outside world and the Great Valley. If you look carefully, you can see that the colours of every character become brighter and more colourful in the Valley when compared to previously in the film. So, I'm guessing that the lavender-grey colour is Topps' real colour, and he only appeared dark brownish-grey previously because of the harsh orange lighting outside the Valley
Title: Uncut version
Post by: Bruton the Iguanodon on January 12, 2012, 01:19:08 AM
But in the sequels he's dark brownish gray like at the beginning of 1!! (I gotta give it up to the sequels there; I much prefer Topps the original way he appeared.)  :smile

 I like his original color so much better then the crappy lavender, that would be horrendous if it was his real color.

LBTLover1 are you 100% of what you said?! :huh:


P.S. Does this explain why Mama Longneck was blue in the movie 10 flashback? If Topps can change from dark black to lavender, she can change from brownish gray to blue, right?

Plus we saw him outside the valley and he didn't change color any more then the rest of the cast did (although his leg is drawn a weird black when Cera is right next to it)

One thing is forcertain---he is not the color he was at the end of 1

I don't think it was unnecessary for the brightness of the colours.  It just showed a happy and bright feeling when meeting back with the characters' families.

For the other colours, they just changed when the mood changed and they found the great valley.

Littlefoot was a bluish colour in the beginning when he was born.

P.S. I am partially color blind, but I can see enough to understand what his colour is.

I'm sure Topps is the same color in the sequels that he was in the beginning of the original film. I'm positive his real color isn't that outrageous color he was at the end of 1.

Topps, I think was a black colour.  After he turned to his current colour, he remained that way throughout the sequels.  I guess to show continuity, but it really doesn't make up for the cheap way they were done.

Littlefoot is the main character which shows the most colour contrasts.  He is brown, blue, green, and I believe lavender at one point.  It basically means his mood swings.  After the original, the new director didn't care about that all.

Post by: Bruton the Iguanodon on January 18, 2012, 12:50:58 AM
You're wrong. Topps started out blackish grey, briefly appeared lavender at the end of 1, and then returned to his original color for the sequels.

Why would Littlefoot be blue when he's born? To tell the viewers, "It's a boy!"? Well, the narrator makes it clear what his sex is

How is he wrong on that? He said that Topsy was black and you say blackish gray. There's not really much of a difference.

Black is not always pitch black. Black can also look like a very dark gray. So there's two ways you can say it. Black or blackish gray. Still the same color.

Actually, no. He's right on that. I just checked. I'll be posting up a picture soon, showcasing Mr. Threehorn in different art styles he's appeared in throughout the series. I might have missed something, but one thing I have noticed is this: he's never as dark in the sequels as he was in the original.

Post by: DarkHououmon on January 22, 2012, 11:32:51 PM
Okay I got the images. I did not take a picture for every movie; I tried to just compare only the different ways he's appeared. Maybe I missed one. But this is the gist of it.

(http://i165.photobucket.com/albums/u72/Inferdramon/Cerafather.png)

Notice how very dark he is in the original? Look at the other pictures. They aren't nearly as dark. The closest is the fifth movie, but that's still not as dark.

So LBTLover1's statement of "he's more light gray in the sequels" is correct.

Edit: Forgot to mention one of the pictures is from a TV episode.

He does appear darker outside the valley, but he is not lavender grey. It's not his real color, anymore then the original sharptooth's real color would be fusia.   :lol

Post by: jansenov on March 01, 2012, 05:52:53 AM
^Well, yes, but only because of the light of dawn in the Great Valley. Light of dawn can be very intense to a terrestrial observer; because of the low angle the sun shines under the contrast between light and shadow can be much greater than at noon. Hence the bright colours of the characters.

And if there's a lot of dust in the air, dawn can be as red as dusk, which would explain the purplish hue of the characters.

Am I the only one who thinks this is a really crappy idea and is angered by it? People say Topps is never as dark as he was in the original, and they're right...and I think the very idea is just wrong.

Yet, he's never as light as he was at the end of the original in the sequels...is he?

But he's also darker in the sequels as well, because, well...he isn;t pink.

In short, I'm pissed that he was pink at the end of 1.

The Original Land Before Time was more darker then you think. Sharptooth originally had scars over his body. The fight was bloody. Both Longneck and trex was bleeding. Lava was involved. I mean Sharptooth looked scarier in the original and when the thorn hit his eye blood just splattered evverywhere. He lost that eye for good. They showed him bite littlefoots mother's neck and back. no shadow scenes were there. There was lava and the earthquake was intense. My friend lives in Norway and he has scene the movie in theatres as a child. That's all I got to say. I don't think we'll find it. It's gone. Uhm maybe a norweign version that say 1989 on it is a great chance we got and we shoudl search for it. Other than that we are lost.

How do you know this? Was this in the uncut or the theater version? And I must say the word "dark" doesn't really mean the same as intense fighting. It means rather an depressing story, dark environment and lack of happy moments and comics.
  Have you seen your friends copy or does he just claim that he has the original version?

It's the theatre version. He saw it when he was six years old. THe sharptooth had scars over his body. I can only take what he said. it played in Norway during the year 1989. That's all I have. I mean both of them were bleeding. There was more voilence and actual blood in the fight scenes. And lava shown in the theatre version during the fight scene.
I only explaining the earthquake and the fight scene. Sharptooth originally had scars over his body in the Theatre version and he got more for fighting littlefoots mother.

That should be relatively easy to find out. In Finland we at least have a national movie archive with original theatrical copies of the movies stored and you can go watch them.

Well, could somebody from Finland go to this place and watch them?

I actually stumbled across a petition (http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/landbeforetimelostfootage) Let's do something to get those deleted scenes, shan't we?

PS: Does anybody know if there's a list of all airings of the movie in the near future (or does anybody know which tv-stations are airing them?)? I'm especially interested to see the next finnish airing for obvious reasons...

Keep hunting guys!

If we have a member near Helsinki then just contact them and go watch it - http://www.kava.fi/ (http://www.kava.fi/) At least we could close the myth about the biting scene.

The original TV station did air the movie on subscription channels after they reacquired the rights following my contact about the movie, but nobody here had those channels so we couldn't check it. There hasnt been any airings since.
