They are not going that much into gory details. There is no shadow of which we could clearly identify such details as a vein. However, it is actually little sense in questioning the fact that Littlefoot's mother did suffer mortal wounds of some sort. I don't suppose she would pretend dying to go on alone, would she -_-

Well-put, Malte.

I suppose our community is trying to find something to talk about, as topics are running a bit thin lately.

Yeah, in the shadows, that always just looked like skin coming off, rather than blood spurting when the Sharptooth was on Littlefoot's mom's back. In any case, that was the neck where he attacked (a vital spot). It probably just didn't kill her right away, but I always had the feeling that, at that point, the damage was done.

As A Matter Of Fact, It's True. Littlefoot's Mother Did Died After Defeating The Sharptooth. That Was Very Brave Of Her. Poor Littlefoot's Mom. I Hope You'll Understand.

I think the location of a dinosaur's jugular and carotid was the same as a human's. Perhaps one or both of them ended up severed. As for the bite to her back, keep in mind Sharptooth's jaws were massive. Therefore, the bite must've been very malicious. Not only was she bitten near or on the spine, but some of her peripheral nervous system neurons may have been severed, perhaps leaving her somewhat paralyzed. She had a good chunk of meat ripped right out of her. It definitely looked like something other than flesh. My theory is that she bled to death

. Yeah, even a bite like that would cause massive blood loss. They did not even have surgeons, so her blood loss, along with her possibly being somewhat paralyzed on the side she was bitten, would've caused her inevitable death. As far as her fall is concerned, her species weighed thirty-five to forty tons. Imagine weighing that much and crashing down on solid, jagged rock. She probably had many broken bones and lacerated vital organs, causing internal bleeding. When the math is done, one could conclude that she died a slow and painful death

. At least she got to see her only child one last time. She is, in my eyes, a hero for having given her life so TWO would be saved. The fact that, despite the fact that racism existed among the dinosaurs, she saved Cera was a noble move on her part. I'm certain that, somewhere in his heart, Mr. Threehorn is grateful to Littlefoot's mother for having saved his daughter. I wish she had not died, for she was a very sweet and loving mother. I'm glad her death was not in vain, though. That's just my theory as to what her cause of death most likely was.

So lets see

Sharptooth landing on her back possibility of breaking it, two bite marks high chances of losing blood, and the earthquake that did twice the damage... :huh: Yeah that pretty much cause her death.

To tell you the truth I always thought the wound Sharptooth inflicted on her back and the one seen on her neck in one part of the scene were seperate injuries but there is a very high possibility she died of blood loss(like you said) plus she could have gained addional damage from the earthquake and falling on jagged rocks(I believe someone else said that).

I wish that they had showed the rest of the earthquake scene. That way we would have known exactly how littlefoot's mother died. I think the fall killed her.

It could be one of those things where there are several causes, or 1-2 main causes and 1-2 other events made things worst.

Belmont2500 · **Reply #29 on:** August 04, 2009, 08:12:05 AM

I would like to see all of the cut scenes but for all we know they could've been incenerated.

Littlefoot3897 · **Reply #30 on:** August 04, 2009, 07:25:57 PM

I have a feeling there somewhere in the Amblin Entertainment studios

Belmont2500 · **Reply #31 on:** August 04, 2009, 09:36:24 PM

then again they could be.

come on Don Bluth we want deleted scenes

Littlefoot3897 · **Reply #32 on:** August 07, 2009, 11:44:52 PM

I have heard so many rumoors about those deleted scenes were destroyed. But Don Bluth has them. I mean who throws away stuff like that.

Belmont2500 · **Reply #33 on:** August 08, 2009, 08:31:02 AM

maybe the editor for that matter with no knowledge that people may want to see those scenes

jedi472 · **Reply #34 on:** August 08, 2009, 10:13:59 AM

Dude, deleted scenes get thrown away all the time. Nearly twenty extra minutes of the space battle in Return of the Jedi were filmed, but now only a few still shots remain because Lucas felt they had no purpose and destroyed them.

Belmont2500 · **Reply #35 on:** August 08, 2009, 10:29:21 AM

well I'll be darned

Being a film director you never know if the movie you're shooting will become a cult or no.

Well, at that point I think Lucas had realized Star Wars was a phenomenon, but didn't feel the need to archive every piece of film that was recorded. He even wanted the original film strips for each of the six movies destroyed, but starwars.com managed to make them into a collectible by placing one piece of film from the premire of each movie in a frame and then sold them off. I have one of them.

I guess no one really had the foresight to do anything like that with LBT, and, at least to begin with, it really didn't seem like it had that much of a cult following.
