UPDATE: This is a bit out of date now - A text version of the important stuff can be found towards the end of this forum post; [link]

ANOTHER UPDATE! Two new things for this - a page detailing the light green part of this image, and a text version of this, listing the length of each segment and where it got used. See them here: [link]

Okay, this is going to sound confusing.

People who have read trivia for The Land Before Time will know that several scenes were cut from the film, due to being apparently too scary. These scenes are presumably lost forever.

Evidence however, remains on the rare soundtrack of the movie (Which I am lucky enough to own), of where such scenes may have been placed in the movie, and when comparing this to the film, where new tracks (or Remixes) have been added. To aid people in finding evidence, I have made this analysis of the music in the film. Each pixel line represents one second of music in the film.

Please note, this is not finished, but I am posting it here in case I get sidetracked and don't finish it. Music buffs/LBT enthusiasts out there, I leave this to you.

Oh, and if you want to see the last evidence of the deleted scenes, pictures and clips can be found here:

(By the way, the first picture on the forum is definitely a fake. The person has just added the animation from "Mother? Is this all there is to eat?" and placed it over a shot of the divide.)

As for notes of interest, Track 2 Part 2 is almost certainly the music for the lost fight scene. (If you want to hear this and you don't have the soundtrack, rent out LBT 6. This track plays while Grandpa Longneck battles a Sharptooth towards the end. It starts off as the same track, and then you will hear the missing part.)

Track 3’s sole cut track takes place after the berry scene. It sounds like something exploded out of the ground after all the little pterosaurs, but they all got away.

Track 5 is really several shorter tracks placed into one. Interestingly, they are all out of order, as (Ignoring the cut parts) the scenes would go in this order: Meeting Ducky+Petrie, Travelling To The Valley (After finding Spike), Trying to get Petrie to fly, Cera meets Sharptooth, and Ducky sent flying. There is a longer intro to the Travel scene, and this could be where the “Finding Spike” cut scene went. Initially, I thought that the original placement of the music suggested that Cera retold her story of meeting Sharptooth via flashback, setting it up for his reveal later, but after noticing the out of order placement of everything, I abandoned that theory.

Track 6 is definitely the most interesting. The first green bit marked is actually the end scene of the film, and if you listen to the whole track, you can tell that originally, Littlefoot found the great valley, and then turned back to save everyone. Later on, when in the lake, he then (possibly) explained why killing Sharptooth was necessary. Then, even later on, led them to the entrance. Two scenes in the finished film hint at this. One, when Sharptooth is climbing the rocks near the valley, the air is greener and cleaner to the right side of the screen, and plants are growing on the rocks. Since in the original ending they killed Sharptooth to prevent him entering the valley, this may be evidence. Two, when Littlefoot sees the apparition of his mother, you can see a lake below him. Between the rock he is on, and the one to the side of the screen is a flat area. This is the place they push the rock off onto Sharptooth’s head, and if you look, you can see that the rock is still there, evidence to the original order of the film.

Strangely enough, the majority of Track 7 does not get used in the film. Some of it seems to be a remix of Track 6. This may have been used in the Green area marked though.

Right, that’s enough of that for now. If I discover anything new, I will update this page. And to anyone out there who wants to continue this, Go Ahead! You may unearth more than me, and at last all the missing scenes will be found.

(If someone was determined enough, they could probably draw and animate replacement scenes for the film.)

EDIT: I need to update this, I now have a vague list of the other music, but not a lot of it. Plus, upon listening to it again, I noticed that the end of Track 6 doesn't include the reunion scene. The music jumps from Ducky and Spike in the water to Littlefoot finding his Grandparents. I think a good deal of that scene is actually the "Alternate Recording" that I mentioned from Track 7. It might be repeated, but I'll need to check that out first.
