1988 Theatrical Release / Outcut land before time scenes
« on: July 11, 2012, 08:14:16 AM »
Does Spielberg appear at some events like the Comic-On ? I think that George Lucas was at the comic-on a few years ago, maybe we could reach Lucas first, because unlike Spielberg he isn't very busy in the movie buissness as a director. He doesen't direct a movie since 1999 and he simply creates tv-series based on that same movie. :D
Maybe we should try with George Lucas. :)

Thank you Mumbling for the audio clip. So Spielberg has maybe got all these scenes ? .-.
How unfortunate, Don Bluth always had the worst luck possible with his movies especially The land before time and All Dogs go to Heaven which were both censored.
I don't know if it is official but it seems that they are planning to release An american Tail on Blu-ray (the news is a bit old but I don't know if is it true or not ?)

If the the blu-ray of The land before time will be released in the near future, could we ask Spielberg about these scenes ? I know Spielberg wants to approve all of his home-video releases so who knows, let's hope that they involve Don Bluth for a future blu- ray release and they think about the Finnish copy. ;)

Well I don't know if we could call auto-suggestion(maybe from the books ? But I doubt), this case regarding the uncut Land Before Time, because a lot of people remember scenes that general pubblic has ever seen ;)
I know some users of this forum contacted Universal and said that the footage is gone forever, but I think the uncut copy is still in their archive somewhere (like Disney's uncensored Black Cauldron which is definitely in their archive).
How about Don Bluth ?
I know Bluth himself, said that the uncut copy of The land before time was destroyed but does he know about the finnish copy ?

I know this has been written everywhere but i searched informations on The land before time with its finnish title "Maa aikojen alussa", looked on wikipedia and said that the uncut version was showed on MTV3 in 1998, i translated the text in english thanks to google translate:

Movie theater / VHS / laserdisc / DVD releases have been cut several minutes of material, but the full uncut version is shown in Finnish TV in 1998, MTV3 channel. [1] cuts, due to, inter alia, the movie ending differs greatly from the original - paw can not find the Great Valley At the end of the film such as the variant is shown in cut, but will find it alone as early as after a fight Sera, and then return to seek other.
Overall, the cutting took approximately 11 minutes film material, the initial length of about 80 minutes (PAL standard is about 75 minutes).


I don't know if this could help, but if Wikipedia Finland has got this information I suppose it could be true, is there a finnish user who could help translate the informations from othere sites ? :lol:

ps. I found also the dates when the movie aired in Finland:
Televisioesitykset
Pvm Paikka  
25.12.1995 MTV3  
31.1.1998 MTV3

Hello,
My name is James and I'm a fan of the original Land Before Time and Don Bluth's works.
I found this forum browsing on the web searching for some details on the missing scenes, which I hope will be recovered one day  :)
This forum looks great and I hope to have beautiful discussions with the other members of this community.
