It's amusing that Spielberg made Bluth take out the darker dinosaur attack sequences, since Spielberg himself went on to direct Jurassic Park. I'm assuming Bluth has forgiven Spielberg though, because Bluth admitted in his interview with Doug Walker that if only he'd continued working with Spielberg, the quality of his films afterwards wouldn't have suffered.
It's really kind of sad when you think about it...Don Bluth made exactly three really great animated films, everything after that was a flop. By the way I myself love TITAN A.E., but it still tanked at the box office.
peter krug I honestly liked the troll in central park, I watched it when I was six but hey, I liked it. Here's a list of his movies ranked worst to best: www.imdb.com/list/ls011893518/
there's quite a bit to not back this up 1. they're still in danger most of the film 2. they can leave the valley 3. their who families would be there there also wouldn't be any births or predators finding their way into the valley on occasion
Ever see old films in the cinema? I like films like The exorcist and Lawrence of Arabia but after seeing them on the big screen they've become some of my favourite films ever.
@@matthewhecht9257 As in, the script for the theatrical cut. Don Bluth didn't want 2 films ending with the main character going to Heaven, understandably.
@@matthewhecht9257 It's not sorry, there's several versions of the film that were omitted and revised that'll never see the light of day. The version with no dialog where the dinosaurs didn't talk was technically, the original script anyways.
I didn't even KNOW that that film had sequels(?) U just inadverdently napalmed a "valley" of my child hood. Doohde, I love Everything you touch!! ironically I "began" with your "why it didn't work series" (yes cross reference advertising in searching WORKS =) I 'stumbled up on your Rocketeer entry in that series' when "Youoogling" research on The Rocketeer (*LIKE Mrs. doubtfire) it was one of my 'growing up sick in the hospital as a kid' fave request of the kids VHS's they had on the Peds floor I stayed on. Heres my request. You do one or both of these fan requests. Either a "spinoff" of sorts from THIS vid and analyze some films that have double and or spiritual movies and or are complete metaphors for a presumably-larger point entirely. 2nd and or additional option You "Maxheadrom" of all things Gen-X 80's baby 90's teen (tho U were Technically a 90's baby tho right? My years are even with the numbers starting from birth in '80 even which makes my "Gen placement" extremely easy and set) of Higher Thinking(er) in Film whom We Love!! The additional/either or request is that you'd kindly exam 'all things Nolan/The Nolan-verse' One bonus request in case you HATE those 2 or if its my lucky year and You do both and are hungry for another - NO I'm not expecting such lol - You could also consider the combo controversy of Cartoon-conspiracies/The Disney*&-or (later)Pixar-verse. Thank you for even Your TIME to read this Sir
Thanks for watching and subscribing! As for your requests I don't know if you saw my "Monsters and Machines" video which makes the argument that science fiction uses metaphors to make a larger point. The original Planet of the Apes was commenting on the 1960's and the issue of racism of all things. I'll kinda bring that up in my next video that will be up this week. I have gotten a couple of requests to make a Nolan video and I have to admit that I don't have alot to say about him; he has made a few movies that I love (Memento, The Prestige, The Dark Knight) but also has made movies that frustrate the hell out of me (Inception, Dark Knight Rises, Interstellar). He always feels like he has to explain everything in his films and his third acts go on way too long. As for Cartoon conspiracy theories, the only one I know is the famous allegation that Walt Disney was a Third Reich supporter; but that could have been made up by the employees he fired after they started a workers strike against his studio. Animators have alot of time on their hands and sometimes sneak in something weird just because they are bored or hate their job. Anyway thanks again for watching.
My favorite Don Bluth movie series is The All Dogs Go To Heaven Movie Series and I like All Dogs Go To Heaven and All Dogs Go To Heaven 2. My favorite part of the first one is Charlie's Nightmare.
Just had this conversation with a coworker and had to see if anyone else thought the same. It seems to put a lot of pieces into place if you look at The Great Valley as heaven or some sort of afterlife. A lot of the movie's events are about the characters overcoming some personal issue and could be symbolic of a journey a soul has to make before finding peace.
Dark and sad sum up almost all of Don Bluth's films, and if my theory was true why would it be sad? Either way they still find paradise together. Also Bluth's next movie "All Dogs Go To Heaven" tackles this idea much more directly. Where Charlie and Itchy have to earn their way to dog heaven.
Sure, we have two fantasies. One, we can entertain the notion that time/Heaven is endless and it appears to all of us as a "great valley" where we may go and be happy:- i0.wp.com/earthlyuniverse.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/Geological-Time-Spiral.png?resize=750%2C664 Or, we can entertain the notion the dinosaurs never went extinct. XD
In all likelihood, those were scenes about the Sharptooth stalking and chasing them, Littlefoot's mother dying horribly (scenes deemed too frightening for children) and Littlefoot's herd encountering racism and discrimination from various other dinosaurs. Nothing much would remain of the Heaven ending as Don was opposed to the idea...

adamzanzie why he stopped working with Spielberg?
@@Eliel20117 Probably the editorial control.
Littlefoot found heaven, while those of us who journeyed through the twelve sequels only found perdition.
If they were to find heaven why wasn't his mom there
You don't see her in the valley but she was the cloud guiding them in. Its a stretch I know but she was there in spirit.
Summer Robinson she went to hell

Love ur videos. Keep up the good work. I'd really like to see ur analysis on Christopher Nolan films and David Lynch films. Thank you
Wow you just brought a whole new dimension to this film for me,,,,top film .... I'll get back to you on my theory next time I watch ....
there's quite a bit to not back this up
1. they're still in danger most of the film
2. they can leave the valley
3. their who families would be there
there also wouldn't be any births or predators finding their way into the valley on occasion
Ever see old films in the cinema? I like films like The exorcist and Lawrence of Arabia but after seeing them on the big screen they've become some of my favourite films ever.
Nope, Littlefoot's mom is not in the Valley. It is not Heaven.
You're seeing the theatrical cut, that's why.
@@abloogywoogywoo No, in the script for 1987 she never reappeared.
@@matthewhecht9257 As in, the script for the theatrical cut. Don Bluth didn't want 2 films ending with the main character going to Heaven, understandably.
@@abloogywoogywoo Nope, the original script with all the deleted scenes.

I disprove this theory.
Because if the dinosaurs where to die , it should had an asteroid which killed 65% of species in Earth
I have a theory the great valley was the asteroid

Im trying to think of a answer to your question but ill have to bare your question in mind next time i see this movie then return with my findings ._.
I don't believe this because it's too dark and sad

Oh God that film gave me nightmares though it had such good musical numbers!

Explains the sequels.
The struggle in this classis is so real
If I had the money I would be willing to give what ever amount don bluth wanted just to see or get and idea of what those 10 minutes were about
In all likelihood, those were scenes about the Sharptooth stalking and chasing them, Littlefoot's mother dying horribly (scenes deemed too frightening for children) and Littlefoot's herd encountering racism and discrimination from various other dinosaurs.
Nothing much would remain of the Heaven ending as Don was opposed to the idea...
