Hello, cool person, and welcome. Don't worry about your English, we can understand what you are saying. I'm not an English speaker myself, too. You will definitely improve your English over time, I'm sure you will.  :yes

And, I believe this is what Ratlady was trying to ask you; which Europe country are you from? Are you from Italia? Or Romania? Or any other European country?

1988 Theatrical Release / The Mysterious Disappearance of the Original LBT
« on: November 08, 2013, 01:32:27 AM »
Oh, no. We weren't arguing, Ducky123. I was just playing some mind game with Phantom. Though I admit I did it out of cynicism.

Malte279, you are right. I shouldn't have caused an unnecessary commotion and I'm sorry. I was angry not really because some people are being sceptical about my claim that I had seen the uncut movie. But because someone accused me of calling the theatrical version of the film a "crap" when I have not said so. But again, my apologies. I will try not to argue with people who disagree with me from now on.

And, thanks a bunch, FreckledOne.

I know. And I was just playing along with you. When I saw how you would try to save my every quote in your posts with your first question so I can't change them afterward, I knew you were trying to play some game with me. So I tried to end your game as soon as possible. I hope this satisfies you.

Edit: Ludichris1, that is my personal opinion, of course. I believe it isn't wrong for me to voice up my thoughts?

The Fridge / Paranormal encounters
« on: November 07, 2013, 12:00:54 PM »
I am not very sure about all the science’s hallucinations happen to everyone, though. I am born with second sight and I see spirits/ghosts(not human’s souls, really) frequently. However, four years ago, which was the last year of my high school, I took a part-time job in a food court inside a mall named City Mall. The mall isn’t famous amongst tourists but it is famous amongst the local people. But seriously, guys, that mall is very haunted. Many people beside me, especially the workers and shops owners there, including those who claim to have never seen a ghost before, frequently saw those ethereal entities flying and floating around both outside and inside the building when the sun started to set in the west horizon. The truth is there is a graveyard in the vicinity.

Eventually, I and the people there get used to seeing those things around us all the time. But then this thing happened. A thing I can never forget ëtill now. One evening, a young lady worker, who I was acquainted to, was washing dishes alone in the utility room at the back of the food court and she was being possessed by two evil spirits. She was yelling and screaming horribly. Many workers, which included me, rushed to the utility room to see what happened. She was thrusting and rolling on the floor while screaming with two creepy disembodied voices beside hers that sent chills running up and down my spine. One of the voices sounded like a male’s and the other sounded like a female’s, but both were other-worldly and non-human. Three strong full grown men tried to hold her down, two grabbed her arms and the other grabbed her legs, only to be pulled around by her as she tried to break free from their hold. And this young lady is an Austronesian lady with the usual petite built of the majority South-East Asian women I am talking about; her strength by then was astonishing. The men had no choice but to sit on her back with her face facing down the floor while waiting for some exorcists to come to our aids. The young lady still yelled and thrust around and the men were nearly bucked off her back. Then some exorcists came and they requested most of us to leave the place while they performed exorcism. Because they feared the spirits might try to possess other weak-minded people’s body when they are forced out of her. I left. When the exorcism was done, we returned to her and asked her what happened. She was crying and told us that when she was washing dishes alone in the utility room, she felt being watched and when she tried to exit the room out of fear, she was being possessed. The exorcists, who were some Islamic religious clerics, told us that fear is what make us vulnerable to possession of evil spirits.

I stopped working in that mall afterward because of the upcoming final exam and even after I graduated from high school, I don’t take part-time job there anymore because the mall owners are a terrible people. They are irresponsible and they always cover up some infamous cases that happened there like sexual harassment and snatch-thefts. But still, every time when I think back on that event, especially how the young lady screamed with disembodied voices, it sends chills running up and down my spine.

Sorry for replying late, people. I’ve been quite busy with my part-time job lately.

@ WeirdRaptor

Different people have different ways of expressing thoughts, you know? Just to let you know, I am a very straight-forward person. If I wanted to call something a “crap”, I would have used that word already. But I didn’t. And I’ve always loved Land Before Time, even the heavily edited version.


@ FreckledOne

I think I’ve seen a few topics like that in this forum, though I don’t really have the time to go through them all. Can you provide the link of that topic, please? I will appreciate that.


@ Phantom

You mean when sharp-tooth fell down on his face during the fight and Littlefoot took the opportunity to kick him in the face? I think yes. And that only angered sharp-tooth even more. Though I’m not sure if Littlefoot did it out of anger for hurting his mother or out of plain mischief.

@ Phantom,

Actually, there were many times Littlefoot and Cera were almost crushed by sharp-tooth and mama long-neck during the fight by their stomping feet or when they toppled over because the two kids were frequently stuck between the two fighting adults.

@ WeirdRaptor,

In your book, huh? You just can’t seem to accept it when I said I didn’t call the edited movie a crap. Say you other people are believing what they want to believe when that is what you are doing yourself. Sure. I did say Steven Spielberg and George Lucas ruined the film for me and I was just voicing up my opinion. Is that wrong? And I didn't go out there and shove my believe down people's throat as you said. You also deliberately ignored the part where I said the edited movie is still brilliant. In fact, I still love the edited movie because it still contains the very plot that I (and everyone) love, in case you didn’t know. You can read the second last paragraph of the first post in this thread and see how I summarised the entire movie. Then, you will see what I mean.

And, like I said before, you can go on and believe that I am imagining things as you like. You don’t have to keep mentioning that over and over again.


@ Phantom,

Um, what does "LF" mean?

Ludichris1,

Actually, you are right about "the original LBT" is not a correct term. Initially, it was meant to be "the original version of Land Before Time". However, because the title's space isn't enough, I had to make it short and so the title is what it is now instead.

I'm sorry, jansenov. To make the discussion more difficult wasn't my intention. If I had made you think so, then, my apologies. I was being too emotional. You guys can just ignore what I said about my life-time's biggest wish. Still, thank you for your comforting words, jansenov.

Yes. I know that.  :)

@ somerandomfangirl

It's alright. Don't be sorry. And thank you very much.

@ Dalekdino

You are newer than I here. So it should be me welcoming you. Which I did in your topic.  :smile  Thank you nonetheless.

Excuse me, WeirdRaptor? When did I say the edited version of the movie is a crap? In fact, I even said most people who watched the film love it because it is still brilliant and because Mr Don Bluth is a brilliant man. Sure, I admit I don’t have proofs to prove to you people that I had watched the original version of the movie and I can’t do anything about it. You can call this topic a stupidity or say us imagining things or call us being delusional and you are free to do so. I respect that. Also, I didn’t start this topic just so I can end it with some “lol not found” joke as you say. I’ll be honest. The reason I started this topic is because I wanted to know just how many people in the Land Before Time fan-base had seen the original version of the movie like I did and how many people want to see it being released someday and see if our number will be enough to make a difference. Another reason being to be able to watch it at least once again in my life is my life-time’s biggest wish.

You probably don’t care about this but I still want to tell you that I fear I don’t have much time left with me. Many of my maternal relatives had died from cancer; it is heredity and I am very likely to have inherited the gene as well. Every few years one of my maternal relatives will die from cancer. The youngest of them that had died was as young as thirty year-old, and she died from stomach cancer. My grandfather passed away from liver cancer eight years ago and one of my aunts, who were very close to my family and I, had passed away from brain cancer in January of this year at the age of forty-seven. Every time when I attended a funeral, I was wondering if I will die from cancer as young as thirty years old as well. I am twenty-one now and my lungs’ health have started to deteriorate and, if I will die from some cancer around thirty, then I don’t have even a decade left to live.

I know my life-time’s wish is rather selfish but if I can see the original version of the movie at least once again in my life, then I will be really happy and I can die with no regret. And if you have not the intention to see the original version of the film being released, it’s your choice and again, I respect that. However, just because you don’t want to, it doesn’t mean everyone else shouldn’t see it as well.



Thank you for providing the quote, Malte279. I must say I found it quite disappointing. Still, he has his own reasons. Though I still hope he will release the original version of the film for his fans one of these days, if that is ever possible. And also, like jansenov, I once believed my memories were playing tricks with me and I really wanted to believe it. But I can’t. Not anymore. Because those images are still vivid in my mind and I don’t believe I am just imagining them. I started to remember images very well when I was four. And although I admit I don’t remember much of the dialogue of the movie, but I remember most of the scenes very well.

@ WeirdRaptor

Hey, is it just my imagination or you seemed rather snarky in your comment? I wasn't making things up and I am not imagining things as you say. I saw what I saw and I trust my own eyes.

Mr Don Bluth actually said the edition of the movie is a right decision? When did he say it? And where's the proof? I don't think I had seen him quoting anything like that anywhere?


Hi, o1s1n. It's nice to see another new member here. You can introduce yourself in the Welcome Centre so we can all greet and welcome you. So, you have seen the original copy as well? Is it the original English dubbed?

General Land Before Time / Why Do People Hate the Sequels So Much?
« on: November 03, 2013, 03:16:20 PM »
I like the sequels. Though, to be honest, I think they are never as good as the original movie, which is a masterpiece, that started them all. Personally, I see them as some kind of officially released fan-fictions that have nothing to do with the original movie. I guess I think of them this way probably due to having watched the original movie before any of the sequels.

Actually, I understand why all LBT lovers love the movie. Even though it is heavily edited. It is because it is a brilliant movie and Mr Don Bluth is a brilliant man.

Well, I guess good things can happen when a community becomes increasingly international, eh?  ;)

Initially, I joined this site because I wanted to talk about the original version of the Land Before Time movie. But now I think I will do more than just that.  :)

As a person who had watched the original version of the movie, to me, it is ruined. Because when I watched the edited version, many scenes just don't flow correctly and many parts are missing.

And if the original version really isn't meant to be released, then why some people across the world, which include I, had seen it? Did someone in the studio furtively sneaked some original copies of the film into the mass production when the film was released just so some people across the world could watch them? Why would they do it? Did they do it just to screw with Land Before Time lovers?

So the original movie is actually novelized? Sounds cool to me. I would love to buy the book but I haven't seen any LBT related books in my country. I live in South-East Asia, by the way.
