Outcut land before time scenes

[Almaron]

Hmm, I've never heard of that particular scene before. But I do know that there was an extra scene following the hill hug, you can see it in one of the trailers for LBT on video (it's on this page somewhere). Basically, after they all hug, Littlefoot says "Now we'll always be friends" or something like that. Perhaps this followed on from that (or it could be the author of the book continuing things on to make a new ending).

[Pikkutassu]

I just got an update from someone at the TV station, the status of the rights still remain the same.

[Pikkutassu]

What do you think of these? The latter one looks like Cera leaving the gang after they go talk to her in the cave.

[Campion1]

Looks very fake, doesn't even have the same color theme a the rest of the film.

[Spiketail]

To your earlier post: does that mean they still haven't got the rights to show it? If so that would be a real shame.

The background on the first cel is definitely fake, but the actual cels themselves may be real. A lot of cels do come with fake backgrounds so this doesn't surprise me in the least.

Well, look at Spike in this one:



He looks photoshopped into the picture if you look where his legs and tail are.

[Pikkutassu]

I came across this description of Spike's birth scene from one of the books, which brought it very lively to my mind. I remember Petrie and Ducky running behind Spike, who keeps bumping his head in the ground finally succeeding, because Cera mentions sharptooth:

"You are a spike-tail, so I will call you Spike," Ducky said.
The rest of the group came running up. "This is my new friend Spike," said Ducky. "Can we take him with us? Huh? Huh?"
"He'll slow us down," Cera said. "All spike-tails can do is eat and burp. Sharptooth will catch up and eat us!"
"No more dumb stories," Littlefoot said sternly.
"I'm telling the truth!" Cera cried.
Over Cera's protests Spike joined the group.

After reading this topic and examining all the missing scenes I'm 100% sure I saw the uncut version on Super RTL back in 2002. I can clearly remember the scene where Ducky lured Spike with berries and Littlefoot seeing the Great Valley and returning to the Mysterious Beyond to search for his friends. I also remember the battle between Sharptooth and Littlefoot's mother being bloodier and more intense, and the final battle in the movie being longer too, although this I'm not 100% sure. It could be my subjective feeling.

But for the other two scenes I mentioned I'm willing to put my right hand in fire. Sadly, I haven't recorded it. It was complete coincidence that I turned the TV on back then.

And from some other clues, I suspect that Super RTL has been showing the uncut version year after year during summertime, each time followed by a selection of sequels (look here,here and here; the duration of the movie is 75 minutes!), and that we can expect this trend to continue in the future.

So, we should hold our breath until summer 2011, or scour Germany and its neighborhood for LBT recordings from Super RTL, particularly from 2002.

And Pikkutassu, keep on the good work!

[Waluigifan]

Really? Then I've probably watched the uncut version, too, because I used to watch Super RTL pretty much in my childhood. I even watched LBT on SuperRTL with my friends on Fridays, when the "Cartoon Special" was shown (ah, good old times...).

Unfortunately no recordings were made.

[Karmarsi]

This could be a good chance to record the uncut version! I do hope if you are able to watch it again you could record it <3 Everyone here in the family 9 GoF ) wants to see the uncut version incredibly badly.

[jansenov]

I think I do have all the necessary equipment to record the movie in PAL quality. Me and my father will test it after New Year. However, uploading the movie anywhere could be a great obstacle. I think it would be more practical to send copies by regular mail. However, for now such technical problems belong to the domain of "Don't count your hatchlings until they hatch!".

[WeirdRaptor]

Alright, I take back my "give it up already folks" comments. You might actually be able to make this happen.

[Karmarsi]

I would absolutely adore a copy <3 My friend, Adder I believe, has a place where they can upload footage, perhaps you could talk to them about hosting the recorded footage if you do?

EDIT - If you do in fact record it, do you think you could put English subtitles?

I can give you the login information to my photobucket account, and you can upload it to this album: http://s1223.photobucket.com/albums/dd515/...toshop%20edits/

Its a private album, so if you can get it, send me a personal message, and I'll give you the username and password, but make sure you log out once you upload it. I'll just change my password once you do. But I'm not sure how much of my bandwith of my account it would take up; I only have 50% if my space left.

Perhaps creating a second account if possible? I actually need to go through my photobucket to delete uneeded images / items o.o

Gracious why am I so excited? Stop being so overly excited self~~ <33

I'd go through mine, but other than episode 26 of AOFW, there's nothing I don't need, but that may make a difference, its a 30 minute video, so that might be why.

I'll get on deleting what I don't need. :!

Why did I write know?.

I'm really close to getting my hands on another tape of the airing from here as well. Things suddenly look very promising  

[jansenov]

As I said, don't count your hatchlings until they hatch. I don't want to raise people's expectations just to fail them latter on. Calmness and patience are the only tools available to us at the moment.

Yes they do! quite the blessing if you ask me <3 Hopefully sometime in the near future we all can see the deleted scenes <3 I'll need to check my VHS tape tomorrow morning to see if I have deleted scenes as well~

Another interesting page to look at. It contains a part of a missing scene that we can see in one of Pikkutassu's posts in this thread. However, the image on Super RTL has different colors than the one Pikkutassu gave us. It makes me wonder if this image too is a color scan from a press release, like Pikkutassu's, or a screenshot from a copy of the movie in Super RTL's possesion. There's one more thing that makes me believe it is the latter case.

If you compare the two images, you'll see that the one owned by Super RTL is reversed. I remember the scene where Littlefoot licked his shadow from the 2002 airing. The shadow was on the right side, in contrast to the DVD version where it is placed on the left. I also remember a scene from a sequel I saw on Super RTL, when the herds leave the Great Valley and encounter a Saurolophus skeleton in the desert, when Ducky's mom covers Ducky's face to spare her from the horrible sight. The herds approached the skeleton from the right, while in the DVD version I saw two days ago the herds approached it from the left. Does anybody else find this interesting?



Anyway, I wanted to update on the technical stuff. At the moment I do not have a means to make the computer receive input from the satellite receiver, so it is not possible to record anything. My father explained to me we could improvise by connecting the receiver to a TV card he lended to his friend, but the loss of quality would be substantial because this receiver converts digital signal from the satellite to analog, and the TV card (which is quite old) converts analog to digital again. However, the good news is that in a few weeks we're buying a brand new receiver that will actually be a computer with Linux, so signal conversion will be unnecessary. Then I can compress the recording, make subtitle files, and hopefully upload it somewhere.

Does anybody happen to own a server here? My upload speed is in the 20-30 kbps range. I can also burn the compressed file on a DVD, pack it well and then send it to the server owner free of charge. Or I can send DVDs to anyone who asks, but I'm afraid I can't pay for the shipping.

Also, I would like some feedback from the German-speaking members:

Has anybody aside from Waluigifan been following our beloved movie on Super RTL? If so, do you remember some of the missing scenes? Do you know somebody who might have watched and recorded the movie?

Is anybody out there already searching for recordings of previous airing on Super RTL?

And lastly, could somebody write a letter to Super RTL and ask the if they intended to show In einem Land vor unserer Zeit- Die Dinos kommen in the near future? In German class at high school we never had much practice with writing letters.


And lastly (to all members), do you think this is all crazy? :unsure:
