Yeah so the whole uncut movie could be a rumor. And maybe Don is right maybe he did actually delete the footage the he cut from they movie.

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.

This review from November 1988 claims it's "only 80 minutes long".

Well put Malte.  I don't really care if I ever see the cut scenes or not, the feeling of nostalgia I get watching it the way it was shown to me as a child is enough for me.

Well yeah you at least have that. I just want to see it again the way I used to see it as a child, but that might just never happen.

Hmm...I wonder if we should make a list of the scenes we know (or can guess at) to be missing - this page just keeps on getting longer and longer.

Evidence Key:
S - Soundtrack
N - Novelisation
P - Promotional Stills
D - Director/Producer/Film Worker Insights
V - Video Footage From Film Trailers

*A longer version of the fight between Sharptooth and Momma Longneck - at least nineteen seconds worth of additional fight music appears on the soundtrack, yet we know the scene to be longer. (S, D)
*Possibly an extension of the "Berry Scene" - the soundtrack goes on fairly intensely for nine seconds. (S)
*A scene where the others find Spike sleeping after eating the plants surrounding his egg. Cera attempts to convince them to abandon him, but they ignore her. Ducky then lures him along with berries on a stick. (S? N? P)
*A scene where the GOF encounters an oasis inhabited by two rivalling factions of Dinosaurs, who refuse to share their food or water with one another, out of racism. Cera acknowledges such prejudice to be foolish. (N)
*Possibly an extension of the GOF eating the Green Food obtained from the tree. (P, V)
*The original ending scene - Littlefoot finding the Great Valley, leaping through the waters of the waterfall, then turning back to rescue the others from the Mountains That Burn. (S, N? P, D?)
*An extension of the scene in the lake, where they plan to kill Sharptooth to prevent him wreaking havoc in the Great Valley. (S, N)
*A short scene where Ducky makes faces at Sharptooth from the lake. (P, V)
*A brief scene where the others realise Petrie has survived the fall with Sharptooth, before all heading up towards the Great Valley. (S? P)
*A short scene taking place after the characters hug one another, where Littlefoot states “Now we’ll always be together.” (V)

Have I missed any? I wrote this from memory, and from briefly looking over the images of deleted segments that I’ve tracked down (mostly the ones listed here).

BTW, for sake of ease, here's the links again to the two video clips that I know of -someone linked to them further up the page.

Hmm…does the bit at 0:08 happen in the movie? If not, that may be part of Littlefoot leading the others up to the valley!

There should also be a scene showing cera leaving the others before it jumps to the lake scene. It cuts just as they are going down that slope to her.

Here's something that proves the fiddling with the ending:



Not brilliant quality, but the cel obviously is from the original ending where they head straight to great valley together after they cherish petrie being alive - there is no mom's ghost and you can see petrie on littlefoot's head and cera/spike coming right behind him. In the released version it's just littlefoot alone with the ghost, clearly the early discovery of the great valley there.




And on the trailer, you'll see littlefoot running from farther away from the tunnel with petrie on his head, while in the released version it's cut further away to make it seem like littlefoot just sat there and called others. And of course the sudden change in background speaks when you watch the movie speaks for itself.

Possibly 2. If my memory serves me right we borrowed the VHS from a neighbour in 1994 and I still have it. Then in the late 90s I saw the original.

- Drought based on dry weather (rather than one that can be just fixed by breaking a dam.
 

Isn't this why they had to find the great valley?

When I rediscovered LBT a little over a year ago it would've been near 100% but currently under 5% i'd say.

Anyway, is there any progress, Pikkutassu? I hope the PM system is working now.

He went on to check the tapes, but his old VCR didn't work anymore. No news from the other guy.

I can clearly remember the scene where Ducky lured Spike with berries and Littlefoot seeing the Great Valley and returning to the Mysterious Beyond to search for his friends. I also remember the battle between Sharptooth and Littlefoot's mother being bloodier and more intense, and the final battle in the movie being longer too, although this I'm not 100% sure. It could be my subjective feeling.

Can you also remember the part when they walk all hungry before the oasis scene, and then Spike suddenly starts sniffing food, runs on top of a hill, where they see the oasis, and then race down the hill for it?
