Here it is, a Laserdisc of the Original Movie, completely framed.

I can't believe I actually have a Laserdisc. :)
-
That is a very cute picture of Littlefoot. I wonder if it is any different then the dvd version of the movie or if both are exactly the same.

Well, this is actually a "Collector's Edition" of the movie, thus it having the picture of Baby Littlefoot. The original version is completely different from this.
-
Well since you've got all this money to spend on this LBT stuff, maybe you should throw $50 towards a better camera. :p You can get a 10mp camera for about $50 nowadays. But anyways, wow. I had no idea that LBT came out on LaserDisk.

If it's the CAV version then it supposedly has some uncut version stills as extras... the movie should be the same. Or maybe it has some extra footage if the claim in the wiki article is true.

Actually, that's more or less due to me not holding the camera still when taking the picture. This happens a lot for me. For some reason, when I'm holding a camera, my hands have a mind of their own.
EDIT: And yeah, a number of the movies come out on Laserdisc. Last I recall, The Land Before Time 5 was the last one on Laserdisc, though I could be wrong.
-
I know some folks collect laserdiscs.
-
Hey guys! Big chance to get them, and there are some great deals!

Nearly all of it is "Buy It Now", so good luck! :)
-
Dang. $10 with shipping for LBT 5 on LaserDisk??? It's VERY tempting, but I've got a ton of other things I'd rather spend the $10 on. If my family wasn't in such a tough financial bind right now though, I think I'd get it. It's just waaaaaaay too kicka$$. :lol
-
If it's the CAV version then it supposedly has some uncut version stills as extras... the movie should be the same. Or maybe it has some extra footage if the claim in the wiki article is true.
Hold on; are you saying that there might be footage and/or bonus materials on the laserdisc that isn't on the DVD? :! Can you confirm whether or not this is true, pokeplayer? If it is true, then I just might try to get my hands on a copy.
-
Do you have a player to watch it? It'd be cool to hear what sort of extras it might have. :)
-
Unfortunately, I do not have a player to confirm it, but let me check the back for details. Hang on!
Okay, aside from the movie itself, it has the following.
Theatrical Trailer
Production notes and biographical profiles on the film's producers
Publicity photographs taken from the film.
-----------
So, if anything, it probably has pictures of the missing scenes, but I can't be certain.
-
Maybe you should go get a player Pokeplayer. It would be SO kicka$$ if the movie had those deleted scenes! :D

At this point, I'd best wait before buying a Laserdisc Player. I spent WAY too much for the Animation Cels and getting the frames for them.
If anything, earliest I'll get a player for it is August.
-
Not sure how hard it will be to get a laserdisc player nowadays. Maybe some models they sell can play both laserdisc and dvd's.

Yep if it's the CAV version then it has bonus materials that aren't on the DVD. And who knows if it has this footage:
However, brief portions of the scene which involved the mother's neck and back being bitten have since been edited out of home video releases and television airings, though this footage was present both in the theatrical cut and on earlier VHS copies of the film.
-
You'd probably have to go to eBay whenever you plan on getting the laserdisc player. I did see some relatively cheaper ones, around $19-$26.
-
I'm sorry; I'm not familiar with what “CAV” means. :oops Can you explain it to me, please? And how can I tell whether the laserdisc copy I am buying is a CAV version or not?
-

There are CLV and CAV versions released... you would think it's marked in the cover. pokeplayer has the CAV version obviously since it has the bonus features.
-
So…the difference between CAV and CLV is that a CAV disc has bonus features, while a CLV is just the movie on a disc?
-

Yes.
-
Wow, a laserdisc! o.o
My biology teacher had one of those that we viewed one day waaaaaaaaaaaaay back when I was a freshman in high school, heh.
But very cool, glad you could come across such a treasure. ^^
-
Laserdisk....one very dead format. :p Peculiar how the laserdisc would have any sort of extras while the dvd has none.
-
So…the difference between CAV and CLV is that a CAV disc has bonus features, while a CLV is just the movie on a disc?
Actually, no. CAV and CLV are different compression formats, not too dissimilar to a DVD. CAV is the highest-quality option on a Laserdisc, however the disadvantage is that you would have to turn the disc over halfway through the movie. CLV fits onto one side of a disc so you don't have to turn it over halfway through, but the picture quality is slightly poorer. I think you would still be able to get special features on a CLV disc if the distributor used up the other side of the disc.
-
Ah. Thanks for clearing that up. :)
Hold on, though; are you saying that bonus features wouldn’t fit on a CAV disc? Because if that’s the case, then pokeplayer’s copy would have to be the CLV format.
pokeplayer, which format DO you have? :confused
-
It's a CAV version. However, the big thing is that the movie comes on 2 discs, totaling in 4 sides. The movie takes up 3 sides total, thus the Bonus Material is on the final side.
So yeah, even though it's a CAV, it just has an extra disc to contain it all. :)
-
I was thinking of CAA (the most extreme compression format) while explaining CLV. My mistake. The CLV version carries the movie on a two-sided disc. I don't think there is a CAA version out there, because of the short length of the movie. It's all very confusing; I'm still learning about a dead format that I may collect in future.
-
Hey guys, great news! I got myself a Laserdisc Player online. How much did it cost me?
99 cents plus shipping! :)
This is mainly due to me winning it as an eBay auction. The auction started at 99 cents and NO ONE ELSE but me made a bid. I even made an insurance of bettering my chances by making my max bid $5.00. Still, no one else bid on it.
It did have a "Buy it Now" price of $9.89, but I decided to take my chances and bid for it, and I won.
Anyways, it's a good quality player and has the RWY connection in the back. This is a main concern because some Laserdisc Players don't have that, and if you end up with one without it, good luck hunting down the necessary adapter for it to work with today's TVs. At least with a RWY connection, I can connect it to my TV and watch it just fine.
So, within 2 weeks, (That's how long it'll take for it to arrive.) we'll finally have our answer. Here's hoping for the best. :)
See ya guys later! :^.^:
-
Congratulations. I hope you enjoy it. I am curious what you find out.
Now that you have a laserdisc player do you think you'll get a few other laserdisc movies or just this single one?
-

I am definitely going to get the other 4 movies of The Land Before Time that were on Laserdisc and see what changes there are on those.
Also, if there are missing scenes, I'll find a way to transfer them to my computer so it can finally be seen by the world.
Well, see ya guys later!
-
It's possible to transfer Laserdisc as long as you have RCA or S-Video outputs on your player. It's pretty much the same way you transfer VHS to your computer, as both are analog sources.
As far as I know, there are no changes made to the other three films save for better picture and sound. I believe the Laserdiscs use the original Dolby Surround soundtrack while the VHS is linear stereo due to the limitations of the technology.
-
That's nice John! 99 cents, that's certainly not bad ;)
-
Nice :) can't wait to find out what the extras are.
-
I'm sure we're all interested as well. I'm also curious on the quality of the video and sound compared to the regular vhs and dvd versions.
-
Very nice. I hope we will see some new things. :)
-
Awesome! Can't wait to hear what the deleted scenes are!
-
Well, the player finally arrived and I had watched the movie. So, time for the BIG reveal. The answer to whether or not there are any missing scenes on the disc is...
No! There are none! :(
Yep, it's the same movie you would get on VHS or DVD, just in a different format.
However, I did find something. At the end of the movie, there are pictures of the movie. A lot of them. Among the pictures is a scene that was never shown. Basically, it's at the point after Ducky finds Spike.
In the pictures, after Spike falls asleep, Littlefoot finds Ducky, and it is shown that Ducky lures Spike into following them, not with leaves, but with cherries.
I know you guys want to see these pictures and I promise to show them as soon as possible. Just please be patient with me.
Now, I do want to talk about my experience, but I'll do that in another post. I have a lot to say.
So, for now, see ya guys later! :)
-
I heard laserdiscs were the size of records or pretty large anyway. No hurry with the pictures. You're likely busy and it may take time to figure out how to get the pictures off anyway using that technology.
-
From watching the movie, I have learned that Laserdisc is a whole different beast, even within the video department.
It's like that sweet spot you find after good quality and before the uncanny. Like that one point right before it would start to turn bad. It's pretty unique and rather hard to explain. You really have to see it for yourself, preferably on a wide-screen TV, much like I did. :D
You also get to notice a number of things that are usually difficult to catch in either VHS or DVD. Like those little moments that you don't notice, unless you watch it a hundred times, or something like that. I was actually able to catch those unnoticeable points a lot better with Laserdisc.
For instance...
Ducky actually kissing one of her siblings not long after she is born.
The scene where Littlefoot's Mother got torn into, in the shadow, you do see a slight moment of a blood spray.
After Littlefoot's Mother knocks Sharptooth away, (The one right after she got torn into) you notice she is standing in water and not on the ground.
Littlefoot's Treestar disappearing at the scene where we meet Petrie. (Actually, Littlefoot's Treestar disappears several times within the movie before it's utter destruction.)
How off Cera looks when Spike joins.
Right after the moment of Cera snuggling up with Littlefoot, it shows her snuggling up with Spike.
Petrie disappearing when the gang get chased by Sharptooth.
Petrie's daring escape from Sharptooth, before he is caught again. (There is a slight moment when Petrie escapes Sharptooth's grasp, only for him to be caught again and get pulled under. (Wow! Those animators were good!))
---------------
So yeah, I noticed quite a bit thanks to this thing.
However, I will admit the bad of part of me having to get up to either flip or change the disc. At least they stop them at good points in the movie.
Side 1's beginning: Start of Movie.
Side 1's ending: Littlefoot Meets Rooter.
Side 2's beginning: The infamous Cherry Scene. (Why didn't I show this for my old "Scene of the Week" thing on my site? (Speaking of, I really need to update that thing.))
Side 2's ending: Finding "The Rock that Looks Like A Longneck".
Side 3's beginning: The Great Climbing of the Rocks.
Side 3's Ending: End of Movie.
Side 4: Bonus Material
So yeah, at least they did well with splitting it.
I must admit, this was a unique and interesting experience. I'll definitely be looking forward to getting the other 4 that are on Laserdisc.
See ya guys later! :)
-
Can you upload some pictures of the scenes?
-
The scene where Littlefoot's Mother got torn into, in the shadow, you do see a slight moment of a blood spray.
I cant see that on the DVD? Wikipedia says that there are brief portions in the biting scene that aren't cut in the earliest home video releases, so maybe that's correct if it's on your laserdisc.
-
I think he does mean that moment with the blood spray:

Yeah, that's it. According to wikipedia, all the blood, etc. was supposed to have been shown, but the scene was cut before animating and filming stared.

Well, I saw it clear as day on the Laserdisc. I guess it only shows there, which I guess will make more of a reason for the members here to grab it off of eBay ASAP.
I checked the DVD version and it's not on there. I'm definitely going to have to find a way to record the Laserdisc onto my computer.
Now, for those that don't believe Petrie's daring escape, let me show you something. (Note: Use the Ctrl + function to get a better view. (Note 2: When in doubt, download and zoom in with a viewing tool.))
Okay, here, we see Petrie get grabbed by Sharptooth's teeth.
(http://www3.mediafire.com/imgbnc.php/a4678af3b62764b2e58c5832ebb47d2f3331eaddb3d669fff02e47d784c7b1293g.jpg) (http://www.mediafire.com/imageview.php?quickkey=2w88dhfx2bmvsjl&thumb=4)
Now, keep an eye on the red circle that I have put in. Where I circle is where Petrie is.
Here, you can see he's still caught as they plummet to their doom.
(http://www2.mediafire.com/imgbnc.php/7668811b188e1e773a0355d32d3daab119af5ef05cebc11e0c929efa461850083g.jpg) (http://www.mediafire.com/imageview.php?quickkey=j8o550gtu9budd8&thumb=4)
Sharptooth hits the water and he's STILL holding on to Petrie.
(http://www3.mediafire.com/imgbnc.php/aefceba3a7aa2d8f8cf6e7eb609b57c639dddecfed9142176155e086531aa39e3g.jpg) (http://www.mediafire.com/imageview.php?quickkey=1oggiz0eafil5n4&thumb=4)
When the rock hits, Petrie escapes Sharptooth's grasp.
(http://www2.mediafire.com/imgbnc.php/7d61c20649ab1f342d3a7954dab941457963d256d83f494d5d985e361c423eea3g.jpg) (http://www.mediafire.com/imageview.php?quickkey=s46x1k0wa254zl8&thumb=4)
He tries to get away.
(http://www4.mediafire.com/imgbnc.php/e5c17de41059ac94d7f602e015eabec44c3b57229e31e5ab7abd5e74139f695b3g.jpg) (http://www.mediafire.com/imageview.php?quickkey=djl614li74gayi7&thumb=4)
Only to be caught again.
(http://www1.mediafire.com/imgbnc.php/35fe5fff3bd67a2dd1442eb64c2815fe94dc968462218dbc2baa98babd2717523g.jpg) (http://www.mediafire.com/imageview.php?quickkey=m82zjlkum638nmb&thumb=4)
And get pulled under by the killer.
(http://www3.mediafire.com/imgbnc.php/a205ab81fda2d3ef827d5c8299ef9e5ee9c7c77de11428dbcb0933f61ce09d933g.jpg) (http://www.mediafire.com/imageview.php?quickkey=9larszwsp1tbx55&thumb=4)

That was one messed up Sharptooth! :blink:

If you want a near-original quality copy of the disc material, this (http://www.hauppauge.com/site/products/data_hdpvr.html) should do the job nicely.

No need! I already got a little something and it cost me less than that does.
Thanks to my new video capture device, I'll be able to show off the Bonus Material from the Laserdisc tomorrow. Also, I will soon set up a download for the altered scene.
Get ready, everyone! What we have been hunting to find for so long, we finally get to see it.
Trust me, you'll be surprised by it. :)
See ya later!

Alright guys, for starters, here's the original Theatrical Trailer that helped advertise this movie. The pre-version and the post-version don't have much of a difference.

Nice :) I remember that scene where cera runs away from her laughing sisters.

Can someone tell me how to download a youtube video? I would like to have the picture-movie but there isn't an option to download it.

there is also http://keepvid.com/ (http://keepvid.com/) & http://www.savevid.com/ (http://www.savevid.com/)
with keepvid and savevid you just copy the web address of the video into the indicated spot. Then you can download it in a number of formats.

Thank you for the links. Someone should tell the people from Youtube to add a button to download the videos.
And a great thank you to pokeplayer984 for the 3 movies.

Nope. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gvdf5n-zI14)
Because then people would start stealing each other's videos and claim them as their own. :p
-
Thanks very much John! :) :yes:
-
Um, I was rechecking the scene as I was setting up a NEW way of commentary and found that I was wrong. My eyes had fooled me all along! :anger
So yeah, but if you go frame by frame, you will note something else about the bite. Something else that makes the bite make more sense at it eventually killing Littlefoot's Mother.
And yeah, I am going to be setting up a new commentary for this, which is a good thing. My last one was terrible.
However, I'm going to be doing it differently than other commentaries. You'll see what I mean when you see it. In fact, it's so different that I've given a new name for it. I like to call it "Let's Watch". Basically, a take on Let's Play for video games. Trust me, it'll earn the name quite nicely.
So yeah! Sorry about the mistake and I'll hope to have the new thing done soon.
See ya later!
