Title: Isn't an adequate retrospective DVD overdue?
Post by: NewOrder on January 03, 2006, 03:27:10 PM: I think that it's about time for Universal Studios to publish a DVD of the original LBT, with never before seen scenes, director's and staff reviews, making of, "If we hold on together" video clip, and so on and so on... What do you think? :rolleyes:

Unless they expect to make some money with it it won't ever come. With public interest likely to be increased by the TV series (once it starts) I reckon there might perhaps be a chance for such a DvD, including some of the deleted scenes or the like.
One thing I'm sometimes wondering about is, what if all that happened. What if tomorrow we had a land before time movie with Ali returning, one with each character we ever hoped to return turning up again, and a DvD of the original movie with all the outcut scenes and everything we ever hoped for. What would we be hoping for next?

Post by: NewOrder on January 12, 2006, 03:05:36 PM: Hmm... I think I'd still want to see new adventures, although some of the sequels weren't that good, I can't think of not ever seeing a new episode of lbt, still everything as its time and its end \:

Post by: Petrie. on January 13, 2006, 04:05:36 PM: A good addition on this dvd if it ever comes out might include the explanation that LBT was shot in open matte and is NOT in widescreen. There never was a widescreen version because it was never shot in widescreen--neither was NIMH, Tail, or All Dogs. This has been reported before on donbluth.com but I guess people don't go there.

Post by: Almaron on September 11, 2009, 06:53:26 AM: I think that if someone was determined enough, they could actually re-animate the missing scenes. All they would need would be animation skill and a bit of imagination. Of course, the scenes would need to be voiced, but that could be dealt with. After all, didn't they reanimate and voice a scene for the new lion king dvd?
