As good as this film is...

Well, I think just about every whose going to speak up has had their say in what they might have changed about the original.
Here's an idea, since its always such a sad thing to see a discussion, let's go ahead and apply this subject matter to the sequels. What would everyone change about the sequels, or certain sequels, or one certain sequel?

Actually, there were a few things I wanted to say (I hadn't gotten around to sharing them beforehand because they were incredibly difficult to word):

Firstly, although I do think that the rearranging of scenes in the final cut of the movie was a little awkward, and in some respects makes less sense than Bluth’s original concept, I think I like the film better with the big unveiling of the Great Valley taking place at the very end, as opposed to right after the gang splits up. Obviously, I’ve never seen the ending as it was originally intended, but I’d expect that the conclusion would have felt less momentous, with the Great Valley having already been revealed.

Still, I think it would be great if a “director’s cut” version of the film were released, with deleted scenes and perhaps even the original ending restored. Sad to say, it’ll probably never happen.

P.S. I’m no admin, but I think that a discussion of the sequels should be created as a new topic in the “General Land Before Time” forum.

Alright, I'll make a new post about this on the General Land Before Time board, then.

Well, with finnish voiceacting this film is the definition of perfect. Some of the original voices are much worse, especially Petrie sounds somewhat annoying with broken english. So, the only bad thing really is those 19 outcut scenes.

That would seem to be the universal opinion. Sad. All of LBT's older fans want to see what was excluded from the film, but the production left such a sour taste in everyone's mouth that hell will probably freeze over before Bluth or Spielberg or Lucas ever touch it again.
