Hey all! Just wondering if anybody has any new leads. After reading Barroth the Blue Mage's old post describing the uncut movie, I am sure that the VHS I watched in the year 2000 (at least) was at least somewhat uncut.
How?
The scene with Rooter was still there, but these scenes were also in it:
- Visible back bite on littlefoots mom
- Spike being lured with berries
- Bit at the end where littlefoot says now we will always be together!"
- Cera calling littlefoot's mom a stupid longneck, and they fight about where the valley is.
Say what you will, but the last part was the most memorable part of the movie, as I remember Cera and Littlefoot butting each other while they fight and littlefoot yells at Cera to takw back what she said.
I always wondered where that emotionally charged fight went in later viewings, as I loved that part the most as a kid.
I found them calling his mother a stupid longneck and the fight though I don't recall seeing the others.
I'd like to see all of that, plus the cut scene where they had the oasis and the creatures were so herd seperationsit that they were willing to die rather than share. (Though alarming, it should have been left in there as it would have taught young viewers a very valuable lesson.)
Also, there was one too where Cera wasn't sure she wanted to keep Spike, but that got cut too.
Rooter was always in there that I know of.
Hmmmm, you don't think they had Petrie's hatching do you? He seems to be the only one we didn't see, well, other than Ruby (we saw Chomper in II.). Then again, Petrie was supposed to be the comic relief character so perhaps they never had it in there. If they did though, I hope to see it if I can.
Originally the fight with Sharptooth came AFTER Mama Longneck's ghost showed Littlefoot the Great Valley. That can be seen, in part, because the very rock that they later conked Sharptooth in the head with is shown in this scene, though, in the final cut, the Mother's Ghost scene appears AFTER the final fight, yet the rock is still there.
Also, perhaps they cut how they got out of that tar pit (that always baffles me, even now.).
Also, I think they had more of the Sharptooth and the thorn scene too, but cut some graphic parts out of it.
I did notice the Egg Stealer in the credits and so thought perhaps they had Ozzy and Strut already in mind for the next one, though the original producers didn't partake in any of the sequel films.
