Hi all!
I am one of the chagrined that sincerely wish that Lucas and Spielberg had not ruined my favourite childhood movie!
Thought I am an adult I still love the original movie the most and had seen some of the scenes that were later cut.
As such, I encourage everybody to help track down a copy if possible!
Here are the scenes I remember from watching a vhs copy that we had borrowed.
I remember seeing these scenes as a little guy when we borrowed the vhs (almost certainly a 1989 version) from somebody.
1. The T-rex jumped on Littlefoot's mom's back and bit her (bodies and shadows visible), the scratches showed on her neck and back but the neck bite itself was absent.
2. The cut bits where Littlefoot and Cera run from the T-rex and hit his foot.
3. Spike being led to follow them with berries (that I think were red), and Cera and Ducky arguing about him staying.
4. Petrie struggling to the surface of the water and an extended T-rex death scene.
5. The part where Littlefoot and Cera argue about where the Great Valley is.
6. Petrie arriving at the Great Vallry atop Littlefoot's head(?)
7. The gang being chased away from the water and food by other dinosaurs(?)
8. Ducky making faces at the T-rex(?)
9. Littlefoot and Cera almost being eaten by the T-rex.
