The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

I think this "uncut version" obsession

I guess it wouldn't hurt to ask him if he wishes to share more about the production of the first Land Before Time. But before that it would be a good idea to think what we would like to know and if he knows if we can contact the animators from the film. Who knows if he can share the contact info of some of his old colleagues.

Yeah there's no reason to ask him at all if he feels up to it. This is great information that we found right here;

Did he help make All Dogs Go to Heaven? We could ask him about that too, even though LBT is the main concern here.
Growing up I was a big LBT fan and had seen all movies and TV series episodes. On the forum, I was formerly known as Hypnobrai until Nov 11, 2017.

In recent years, I have gained an interest in the production of The Land Before Time, particularly the deleted scenes of the original film. New discoveries have been made in the last few years and continue to be made, so I feel that it is a good time to contribute.

I have always loved sharpteeth more than any other creatures in the franchise, such as the fourteenth film's Carnotaurus, the fifth film's Sharptooth, and #1 by far - the original Sharptooth.

From 2017-2019, I was an administrator for the LBT wiki.

that is what I asked at first place: did someone did it before, and if not - let's do this and prepare full complex letter. And maybe creating a new thread for that. :)

I was just about to say that. Who wants to make it?

I'm not sure if a really long letter is the right way. Maybe we should tell who we are and whether he knows anything about the scenes or his colleagues. Nothing too complex, just a normal post that shows how much we would appreciate any piece of knowledge he has.

Yes, yes, let's do it. I'll make a topic about this.

The Cut Footage is akin to a holy grail for fans. Fans are going to want to find it, and possibility that it exists keeps the heart beat of this section of the Forums alive. I understand that you want to re-focus a thread on the actual film we all know and love, but the best thing to do is not critique the Cut Footage Treasure Hunters, but to start a thread solely about the Original Film as is, without mentioning the cut footage, otherwise you will merely find yourself talking about the cut footage anyway.

I just wanted to say that if Pudleiner won't be able to provide us with more information, I'd say Dick Zondag, one of the directing animators, could be a good next choice. He has put his email address on his homepage.

Can we all contact him or would it be better if just one person tried?

I'm not monopolizing this but I doubt a wave of similar questions would be too good an idea. If someone else wishes to contact Zondag, though, that's alright.  :)

Nono, I completely agree with you.

I may attempt it as well, but not immediately :)

Yes let's bombard him with emails until he tells us
No! Do not do that. They'll simply get annoyed and ignore you.

Yeah, that's quite the awful plan and it might make him ignore any further e-mails regarding the subject :/

I HOPE ADfan joked.

and I agree, if we have a chance to contact someone's else about LBT, we should use this chance. But with no hurry, and let somebody else (not me, because I'm bad in composing serious letters) write and send it. :)
