Excuse me, WeirdRaptor? When did I say the edited version of the movie is a crap? In fact, I even said most people who watched the film love it because it is still brilliant and because Mr Don Bluth is a brilliant man. Sure, I admit I don’t have proofs to prove to you people that I had watched the original version of the movie and I can’t do anything about it. You can call this topic a stupidity or say us imagining things or call us being delusional and you are free to do so. I respect that. Also, I didn’t start this topic just so I can end it with some “lol not found” joke as you say. I’ll be honest. The reason I started this topic is because I wanted to know just how many people in the Land Before Time fan-base had seen the original version of the movie like I did and how many people want to see it being released someday and see if our number will be enough to make a difference. Another reason being to be able to watch it at least once again in my life is my life-time’s biggest wish.
You probably don’t care about this but I still want to tell you that I fear I don’t have much time left with me. Many of my maternal relatives had died from cancer; it is heredity and I am very likely to have inherited the gene as well. Every few years one of my maternal relatives will die from cancer. The youngest of them that had died was as young as thirty year-old, and she died from stomach cancer. My grandfather passed away from liver cancer eight years ago and one of my aunts, who were very close to my family and I, had passed away from brain cancer in January of this year at the age of forty-seven. Every time when I attended a funeral, I was wondering if I will die from cancer as young as thirty years old as well. I am twenty-one now and my lungs’ health have started to deteriorate and, if I will die from some cancer around thirty, then I don’t have even a decade left to live.
I know my life-time’s wish is rather selfish but if I can see the original version of the movie at least once again in my life, then I will be really happy and I can die with no regret. And if you have not the intention to see the original version of the film being released, it’s your choice and again, I respect that. However, just because you don’t want to, it doesn’t mean everyone else shouldn’t see it as well.
Thank you for providing the quote, Malte279. I must say I found it quite disappointing. Still, he has his own reasons. Though I still hope he will release the original version of the film for his fans one of these days, if that is ever possible. And also, like jansenov, I once believed my memories were playing tricks with me and I really wanted to believe it. But I can’t. Not anymore. Because those images are still vivid in my mind and I don’t believe I am just imagining them. I started to remember images very well when I was four. And although I admit I don’t remember much of the dialogue of the movie, but I remember most of the scenes very well.
