we just got hit with a huge snow storm, so we probably won't have any school tomorrowHere it doesn't even matter if it's the biggest snow storm and -45c outside, we still go to school.
Are these scenes dubbed in Finnish?Yes they are. If you want I can add subtitles.
It seems odd that they would put these scenes in some regions and not the other ones. It will be really cool to see these deleted scenes.The scenes are not in any of the official VHS/DVD releases in here either. This is from the TV airing sometime during the 90s. Lucky that my parents decided to record it back then.
AbsolutelyOur old VCR turned out to be broken so I can't provide any footage yet. But as soon as I get that DVD/VHS recorder I'll be able to digitalize the whole movie in the best possible quality. It seems likely that there might be some other outcut scenes apart from these two.
Pikkutassu, if you have these scenes on your version of the movies you are in possession of material that has gained an almost legendary status among the LBT fan community over the years. Even a low quality webcam made clip of these scenes (the one after Spike's birth and the oasis scene) would be of huge interest to everyone here. I wonder if there are further differences between the movie version you have and the version as it was sold in the rest of the world.
Pikkutassu, these are really BIG news for us and everyone here would be very much obliged if you could record these scenes with your webcam and make them available to us.
In two land before time books of the original movie a scene is included which is often referred to as the oasis scene. This is the scene as described in the land before time book "The land before time -The illustrated story":QuoteA long time passed and the brave little group was getting more tired and hungry with each plodding step. At least they left the mountains behind. Now they were in a hot, sandy desert.A shorter version of the same scene is in the book "Friends in need":
"I tired," moaned Petrie. "Way to Great Valley too great way."
"We're almost there," cried Littlefoot. "Don't give up now."
Suddenly Spike became alert and sniffed the air.
"He must smell food," said Ducky. "It's the only thing that would wake him up."
Spike snorted and galloped over a small hill. The others followed, staring in wonder at what they saw. There was a small spring of water surrounded by a group of thin gray-noses (Another word for Ducky's sort). Near the spring but standing apart was a cluster of trees full of delicious-looking green-food, surrounded by a group of fat crown-heads. Littlefoot and the others raced down the hill, yelling and cheering. But they got closer, they saw the hard looks on everybody's face, and the cheers died in their throats.
A stern-looking gray-nose came up to them and said, "What do you want, little ones?"
"Food!", Littlefoot cried.
"And water, yep, yep," Ducky added.
A fat crown-head waddled up and said, "No food!"
"You may drink," said the grey-nose to Ducky. "You are a big-mouth like us. But," he continued pointing at the rest of the group, "no water for them."
"But they need drinks, too!" Ducky protested. They're my friends."
"These are your friends?" said the fat crown-head. "A threehorn? A longneck, a spike-tail and" - he pointed to Petrie - "and whatever that is."
"Yes, run away quickly," said the grey-nose to Ducky, "before spikes and horns grow on you."
Cera couldn't believe what she was hearing. She had never realized before how foolish it was to dislike someone just because he looked different. All she knew now was that they all needed food and water. She reared up her head and said firmly, "We're hungry! All of us!"
The thin grey-nose stared at her. "And so are we," he finally said.
"Then why don't you share the water with the crown-heads?" said Littlefoot. "And they could share the food with you. Then you wouldn't be hungry and they wouldn't be thirsty."
"No, no, no," said the crown-head and the grey-nose at the same time.
"Well, if you don't change your minds, all of you will die," said Cera.
"Why don't you like each other anyway?" Ducky asked.
"The crown-heads are from the other side of the swamp," said the gray-nose.
"I don't see anything wrong with that," said Littlefoot.
"This is silly. I'm hungry," cried Cera. "Let's go somewhere else to look for food together." And with that the small group marched away. The grey-nose shook his head. "I'll never understand those young ones," he said. The crown-head nodded and went back to guard the food.QuoteThey finally came through the ash storm into a bleak desert. They were all terribly tired, hungy, and thirsty.From the illustration gray noses seem to be Ducky's kind and Crownheads would be Pachycephalosaurus.
Spike suddenly sniffed the air.
"What is it, Spike? Food?" Cera cried.
"Maybe it's the Great Valley!" yelled Ducky.
Spike just snorted and ran over a nearby hill. Following him close behind, the others reached the far side of the hill and looked down on a green oasis with trees and water. But something was wrong. A bunch of thin gray-noses were guarding the water, and a bunch of fat crown-heads were guardng the trees.
"Can we eat and drink?" asked Cera.
"Only our own kind can eat," said a crown head.
"Yes," said a gray-nose. "And only our kind can drink."
"Why don't you share the food and water with each other?" asked Littlefoot.
"No, no, we can't do that," said the gray-nose and the crown head together. "Gray-noses and crown-heads are different from each other."
Cera didn't believe her ears. "Well, then, you will all die," she said. "Let's leave and find our own food and water!"
After searching and searching, all they found was a deep rocky crater. Cera's words seemed empty. Cera insisted on following her own path to the Great Valley. "No!" cried Littlefoot. "We have to stick together or we'll all fail - just like those crown-heads and gray-noses back there."
If you can make a copy of the tape and send it to myself or Pokeplayer, he or I can digitalize it. Or if you could get a hold of a DVD recorder and have a modern TV, you could put it onto a DVD yourself. I could walk you through the steps of getting the files from the DVD into a different format and sending the files to me. Then I'd post it here.
please tell us that you still have the tapeYes I still have it. I could try recording the scene with my digital camera.
Weird.
This is a picture of which we can be sure that it is genuine. It was used in cinema showcases in 1988 and the very original I scanned is from the showcase of a German cinema. It makes me wonder if the scene might have been included in the version of the movie as it was presented in cinemas or if they deliberately used material from outcut scenes (they definitely did in some other cases, so I'm afraid the scene was not included in the cinema version). We can only guess about the content, but I suppose it is a fairly save guess if we assume that Ducky is trying to make Spike come along by luring him with those berries. We see her doing just that in the movie scene which would have followed this one (right after Spike's hatching) if it hadn't been cut out. One book suggests that there was opposition from Cera against taking Spike along. Whether or not this was part of the outcut scene we don't know.
Okay this just got a little more interesting. Every listed actor/actress now has some mention LBT 14 on their wikipedia pages. If this is yet another joke then the prankster is getting more elaborate then any other in the past. Still nothing to be truly excited about though (I say as my heart beats a mile a minute at the possibility) as I cannot find any connection between these actors and an LBT 14 anywhere outside of wikipedia.If it just appeared then it's way too good timing to not be a prank.
She looks like an imaginary creature with it's pink colour. And she's like an adult.Quote from: Pikkutassu,Nov 29 2009 on 02:53 PMCan you guys say what you don't like about Ruby?Quote from: Mumbling,Nov 29 2009 on 03:34 PMI don't like ruby.Me neither.. doesn't fit to the gang. Just a bad idea from that new female director.
I don't mean to nag you guys, I'm just curious why you have a dislike of her. What is it? Her looks? Personality, quirks? What?
