Caption away!

Da, Malte, that would be the original movie. And I know about the melancholic mood. Especially when James Horner's score just keeps playing in your head.

Another interesting page to look at. It contains a part of a missing scene that we can see in one of Pikkutassu's posts in this thread. However, the image on Super RTL has different colors than the one Pikkutassu gave us. It makes me wonder if this image too is a color scan from a press release, like Pikkutassu's, or a screenshot from a copy of the movie in Super RTL's possesion. There's one more thing that makes me believe it is the latter case.

If you compare the two images, you'll see that the one owned by Super RTL is reversed. I remember the scene where Littlefoot licked his shadow from the 2002 airing. The shadow was on the right side, in contrast to the DVD version where it is placed on the left. I also remember a scene from a sequel I saw on Super RTL, when the herds leave the Great Valley and encounter a Saurolophus skeleton in the desert, when Ducky's mom covers Ducky's face to spare her from the horrible sight. The herds approached the skeleton from the right, while in the DVD version I saw two days ago the herds approached it from the left. Does anybody else find this interesting?



Anyway, I wanted to update on the technical stuff. At the moment I do not have a means to make the computer receive input from the satellite receiver, so it is not possible to record anything. My father explained to me we could improvise by connecting the receiver to a TV card he lended to his friend, but the loss of quality would be substantial because this receiver converts digital signal from the satellite to analog, and the TV card (which is quite old) converts analog to digital again. However, the good news is that in a few weeks we're buying a brand new receiver that will actually be a computer with Linux, so signal conversion will be unnecessary. Then I can compress the recording, make subtitle files, and hopefully upload it somewhere.

Does anybody happen to own a server here? My upload speed is in the 20-30 kbps range. I can also burn the compressed file on a DVD, pack it well and then send it to the server owner free of charge. Or I can send DVDs to anyone who asks, but I'm afraid I can't pay for the shipping.

Also, I would like some feedback from the German-speaking members:

Has anybody aside from Waluigifan been following our beloved movie on Super RTL? If so, do you remember some of the missing scenes? Do you know somebody who might have watched and recorded the movie?

Is anybody out there already searching for recordings of previous airing on Super RTL?

And lastly, could somebody write a letter to Super RTL and ask the if they intended to show In einem Land vor unserer Zeit- Die Dinos kommen in the near future? In German class at high school we never had much practice with writing letters.


And lastly (to all members), do you think this is all crazy? :unsure:

Having had Latin as a subject at high school, when I hear of Troy the following saying springs to mind: "Quidquid id est, timeo Danaos et donas ferentes."
Whatever it is, I fear the Danaians (Greeks) even when they bring presents.
The present is the Trojan horse, of course (hey, that rhymes!).

Happy New Year! My resolution is to study harder than last year.

As I said, don't count your hatchlings until they hatch. I don't want to raise people's expectations just to fail them latter on. Calmness and patience are the only tools available to us at the moment.

After reading this topic and examining all the missing scenes I'm 100% sure I saw the uncut version on Super RTL back in 2002. 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.

But for the other two scenes I mentioned I'm willing to put my right hand in fire. Sadly, I haven't recorded it. It was complete coincidence that I turned the TV on back then.

And from some other clues, I suspect that Super RTL has been showing the uncut version year after year during summertime, each time followed by a selection of sequels (look here,here and here; the duration of the movie is 75 minutes!), and that we can expect this trend to continue in the future.

So, we should hold our breath until summer 2011, or scour Germany and its neighborhood for LBT recordings from Super RTL, particularly from 2002.

And Pikkutassu, keep on the good work!

Thank you all for your welcome!

Always nice to have a new member. Hope you have a lot of fun on here.

Any particular character or sequel you like the most?

Ducky won my heart as soon as I saw that scene where she met Littlefoot for the first time. She's the cutest character ever! And I like the first movie the most. As for the sequels, I don't know, it's been such a long time since I saw any of them. Perhaps the one with the mysterious island.

Welcome to The Gang Of Five, jansenov!  Glad to have you with us.

Your story reminds me a lot of how I got back into LBT, by the way. So which of the sequels have you seen already?

Second, fourth and eighth.
