The scene in “The Blob” with everyone running out of the movie theatre at 3:51 was shot in my town. The Colonial theatre still looks the same.

After reading the Lloyd Alexander books the movie was based on, The Black Cauldron became one of my favorites when i was young. but i had ZERO idea about the expense that went into it and the lost footage. Those animation/concept cels are AMAZING. a fully realized version of the film made for an older audience would just be mind blowing!

I talked to The Black Cauldron's producer, Joe Hale, and unfortunately, he doesn't seem to have the black-and-white print of it anymore. He lost it when he and his wife moved.

The problem with Eric Stoltz was that, according to the producer and director, he approached BTTF as more a serious science fiction film rather than the comedy they were going for. One of the things they mention was that Stoltz said that the Marty from the beginning of the movie shouldn't be the Marty that ends the movie. Also Eric Stoltz looks more like the kid of George and Lorraine than Michael Marty does.

Thank you for revealing that a few key, emotional plot points from the final HP book were actually filmed (Harry and the Dursleys)... always felt that they needed a better send off at the beginning of Part 1 of the final movie. I hope that one day those scenes get a release.

That ET scene sounds fucking creepy

Frankly I would want to see the uncut Black Cauldron more than any of these. The Black Cauldron was a favorite of mine as a kid because it was an animation of a great book series, one I really liked, and I always wanted more of it.

I don't think anyone wants to think of ET as a Voyeur leaving a tip.

Speaking of Harry Potter: I would love to see the scenes with Peeves. I thin Rik Myal was a excellent choice for Peeves and its a shame that his scenes never got to be seen.

Back to the Future 0:51 The Black Cauldron 3:02 E.T. - The Extra-Terrestial 4:58 The Lord of the Rings 6:16 Harry Potter 7:45

There are around 20mins of Jurassic Park scenes missing from the currently available cut. They were originally included in the initial 1993 release to some selected cinemas around the world (including my home town), before disappearing; never to be seen again. A few stills from these scenes have appeared on the internet in the last couple of years, but no footage, except for the 'Leaf grab scene' that can still be seen in the theatrical trailer. I would LOVE to see these scenes released by Universal, or even reinstated to a future rerelease of the film.

I think we'll see the Eric Stoltz scenes at some point, maybe in the 35th or 40th anniversary release. The writers have hinted that we will see them at some point.

I liked to see an uncut release of The Black Cauldron

Add Rogue One to the list of footage you may never see. Not even a single deleted scene made it to the dvd/blu-ray release.

Easily I’d want to see a restored version of the Black Cauldron. The traditional animation is beautiful and I’d love to see what was originally intended story-wise.

If I had paid $800 for a boxed set and later they released footage that could have been included, I'd be upset.

For me the most intriguing unreleased Harry Potter footage is from The Philosopher’s Stone, Rik Mayall recorded scenes as Peeves the Poltergeist but they went ultimately unused due to the child actors cracking up at his performance.

I really want to see all of the Eric Stoltz footage from Back To The Future. They hyped it up so much in the last release, and there was about 35 seconds.

Which of them would I want to see? Certainly not Back to the Future with Eric Stoltz. There's a reason they replaced him with Michael J Fox.

Just found your channel and I'm loving it!! You're doing such a good job man! I appreciate the videos you are making for us

I will never forget: 33 years ago Labyrinth featured in the cinemas and the trailers showed David Bowie going down a spiral staircase. I missed that scene when I watched the movies and I never saw it again...

The image of ET standing over backless Mary was including in the 1982 trading card set.

I would love to see the deleted footage from E.T. The "E.T. looking at Mary and placing an M&M/Reese's Piece on Mary's pillow" scene was emulated in William Kotzinkle's novelization of E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial And His Adventure On Earth. That was when I first encountered it. I always thought that bit of the book was a very cute and heartwarming thing and I wished it had made it to the movie. It showed E.T. really cared and liked Mary. Its also one of the first heartbreaking parts of E.T. since, at least in the book, it starts with E.T. looking out of Elliott's window and being very sad. The book in that bit describes E.T. feeling "cosmic loneliness" due to him missing his Spaceship and friends. Also, from that point of the book until he starts dying, E.T. is torn between wanting to spend the rest of his days with Mary, Elliott, Michael and Gertie on the one-hand whilst on the otherhand E.T. wants to go home, to his Spaceship and friends.

Why keep it locked up? 100 years from now people may not care about the extra scenes as the people of today do.

Wow, information on the E.T. bedroom scene has alluded me until now. That's one of my favorite movies and I thought I knew it like the back of my hand, but before this video I never heard of that. Nice, thanks for sharing!

So, I'm guessing ET liked what he saw so he left her some candy?

Back to the Future by far is my top fav movie. I would watch Eric's performance no questions asked.

judging from those cells I can see why the footage was cut from black couldron. it looked super grusome.

I remember watching this dark trailer for the Black Cauldron when I was a kid and not being afraid but intrigued. When I watched it I was disappointed so I'd love to see the whole thing.

I love your videos! Please keep it up!!

I would love to see the uncut version of Judy's A STAR IS BORN.

Awesome Channel man! You should be big already

love this stuff! thank you very much!!

I am curious to see the deleted footage of The Black cauldron, if it still exists

If the cuts were mandated by the studio, I would love to see them incorporated back into the film, as studio heads are often the last people who should ever get involved in the creative process. If the filmmakers themselves cut the footage, then I would be interested to see the cut footage only out of curiosity.

My best guess regarding the ET scene is that even for PG standards at the time, it was considered "too sexual" for a family friendly film and it's even less likely to be released in newer versions due to newer standards making it even it even harder for such scenes

I love seeing any part of a film not released, and sometimes seeing a deleted scene explained part of the movie.

Your videos are awesome! Just subbed!

Awesome video! You deserve a lot more subscribers

One of the most infamous examples in my personal recollection is the sad case of the theatrical anime movie "Fist Of The North Star". Not the heavily censored television series. I mean a theatrical animated adaptation of the classic manga. The original intent was to keep all of the insane gore of the manga intact. However, it was still a shonen anime marketed towards a younger age demographic, so the story goes that the movie was run for a single weekend in Japan, and there was massive outrage at the violence. So the film was quickly yanked, and they literally cut and edited the film to do many strange cuts and edits to large sections of the film. ...and I mean "literally" in many cases. They cut up film reels, and reshot many scenes on video with additional filters and strange color effects. The result is obviously bizarre edits of original footage that have been forever lost. A FEW rare seconds of uncut scenes were recovered from an insanely rare Italian VHS and a trailer. But most of the scenes are lost from their original versions. Many attempts have been made for historians to find traces of the original shots or the original animation, but they seem well and truly destroyed. Discotek Media tried to make a new DVD release that cobbled together as much unaltered footage as possibly obtainable, but the movie is still irrevocably butchered to this day.

I'd love to see the other alternate endings for Clue. I believe there was one that they shot that was considered to dark and so they scrapped it. There were others that just were never shot.

It's a tricky one about unused footage. There are some movies where the extras would've made them better in transitions and continuity. But one that sticks out is The Blues Brothers, where the unused footage was put back into the movie - and totally changed the humor. It became TOO explained, drawn out and detailed. But is always interesting to see and know what a film makers intent was and/or what caused sudden changes of heart to cut and rework the movie. I'm not sure if I've seen a movie that made me like it more from having seen the directors cut or restored version? Apocalypse Now Redux is interesting, but I still love the initial theatrical release.

How about the lost footage from _Freaks_ ? Or _The Magnificent Ambersons,_ Orson Welles' follow-up to _Citizen Kane_ that he viewed as superior before the studio butchered it?

I think the footage should be released, especially if it's over a decade old. Things like that, especially with cases like the Black Cauldron, where it causes a skip in the movie. Stuff like that pulls me out of the story.

the Black Cauldron is still one of my favourite Disney movies

how does this guy only have 37K subscribers.... he should have a million, his content is good and nicely edited

Your videos are sweet! Make more. I DEMAND IT!

I LOVE your videos!! Especially the Universal Studios ones! It might not be easy. Would you be able to do Herbie? (#53?) or would you could Seaworld history? I’d appreciate it

Holy lord I have to see the LOTR scenes

Loved this video! Definitely would love to see you do more like this! The piano loop was a little much for seven minutes straight, I would probably enjoy future installments more without it. Not knocking the video! Just a bit of feedback. :)

EVERYTHING should be released!

Imagine the toy tie-in that could have been: "New from Kenner! The E.T. Bedroom Play Set comes with the Disrobed Mom figure and the E.T. with Retractable Glowing Finger figure. The set also includes miniature Reece's Pieces to leave on the bed-stand for services rendered."

2:57 LOL the timing was just perfect for Marty's (fox) reaction.

"It's not family friendly!" Then don't watch with the family. Simple.

Here's some missing/locked away footage that's noteworthy: The Shining - alternate/extended ending where Wendy and Danny are at the hospital Friday the 13th Part II - all the deleted/extended gore scenes, especially the extended double-impalement Jurassic Park - stop-motion animation footage used as a template for CGI effects Raiders of the Lost Ark - Belloq's gorier death not obscured behind flames John Carpenter's The Thing - TONS of unreleased stuff: The alternate, extended ending showing McCready having been rescued / Bennings alternate death where he's stabbed through the back with a large screwdriver / Fuch's alternate death where he's found impaled to a wall with a shovel / Nauls death where he's killed by the creature pretending to be a crate / McCready and Nauls searching McCready's shack / Copper and McCready finding a torso in the cabinet at the Norwegian camp / alternate cut of Palmer's transformation, of which a shot is shown in the trailer

I had a crush on Elliots mom when I was a kid.

Imagine being called in only as a substitute, and despite nearly all of the scenes being shot, you get turned down since the primary guy is now available and after that, the movie is praised and long remembered as one of "the movie of the century". I would be scarred for life if I was in Eric's position (Don't get me wrong, I love Michael J. Fox from the bottom of my heart but still, it's a sad thing for Eric).

Wow that's a hard question to answer. Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings are two of my very favorite movies....so I'd have to see those. I also would like to see Black Cauldron, because I liked the movie, but always felt there was something missing in it. So I guess, my answer is all of these three ! Have to say I enjoy what you're doing, so I've subscribed and look forward to watching more of what you do !! Thanks for sharing !

The fourth ending of Clue should be on here. I've read the second draft of the script where it's included and it's great! And I believe it only got cut because of runtime too.

The E.T. Scene was obviously cut because of the implied nudity.

Keep in mind that some "deleted scenes" actually offer no additional information or simply repeat information that we learn in a much better way in a different scene. This is the reason why scenes get deleted or snippets removed. I'd seen a TV version of HP 2 Chamber/Secrets with "deleted scenes" which were mostly bits of them in the common room or outside talking. To me, a deleted scene should convey something we didn't see the first time around. A hidden motive or a brief encounter that just sheds that little bit of extra light to a story. Now The Black Cauldron full version I would love to see!

I would definitely love to see the full uncut Black Cauldron. I remember enjoying the movie when I was younger, but it's been years since I've seen it.

I think it would be interesting to see the original Back to the Future movie with Eric Stoltz released in it's entirety...

Along with the black couldren I had heard that there was around 1 minute of completed animation cut from The Land Before Time, which featured sharp tooth and was deemed 'too scary'

Interesting video, I never knew there were so many movies that had big chunks locked away. Two movies that I would like to see deleted or hidden clips from are Alien and Spiderman (the first Tobey McGuire one). From what I've read, some of the locked away footage from Alien changes the movie completely with Ripley and Dallas being a couple, and Ripley finding an egg in the end. As for Spiderman, we all recall that we lost the world trade center buildings on 9/11. Spiderman was reedited to remove all traces of the twin towers, which I personally felt was a travesty to pretend like those buildings never existed. I would love to see the original version of both of these movies.

You need a Netflix Channel! Your content, music, delivery is incredible!!

Another movie that is missing scenes is The Land Before Time I would love to see all the Sharptooth scenes!

There is always some oddity out there During the trailers of Wreck It Ralph 2, a sequence involving a little girl on her way to a vacation, playing a mobile game which Ralph and Vanellope trespass into. During the final stages of production (when the sequence was fully 3D rendered and everything was put together), it was cut from the main film itself, however the directors, not wanting to waste their animation, decided to stick the sequence once the film credits passed. If I had to guess where it would fit in the story. It would be when Yesss tells them to visit the mobile district and that game. However Vanellope hesitates about going; but chooses to visit the game.

I would totally would want to see the Pie Fight scene in Dr. Strangelove and the missing scene from Bedknobs and Broomsticks in which Miss Price sings "a step in the right direction" in which that scene was cut out from the film for some reason!

My best guess: At 0:37, E.T. was trying alternate uses for a glowing finger...

That Harry Potter stuff sent a chill up my spine. I've always wanted to see more on the Marauders.

I can understand the reasoning for cutting the scene from ET. Something about it seems a little "rapey"

All those cut scenes from Lord of the Rings and still no Tom Bombadil...

I want to see the cut footage from Highlander that was lost in a fire.

I would love to see the original version of Death becomes her.

Terry Gilliam's Time Bandits has a few jarring jumps where scenes were originally shot but removed to cut down on the running time.

2:42 eric stoltz is just michael j fox putting on jim brewer faces throughout his performance

I remember hearing tales of people remembering scenes in the original theatrical release of Star Wars that were never released in any other format, like Luke missing with the grappling hook and having to throw it again.

He missed all the Suicide Squad footage that wasn't in the extended cut and the King Kong 1933 Spider Pit Sequence

The music in this video is awesome!

Spielberg told Barbera Walters that the cut of Schindler's List was 4 1/2 hours! Would love to see that version someday

I'd love to see the cut footage from ET where elliot is in the school office, since it was a uncredited cameo.

Katzenberg, Matzenberg, Ratzenberg & Spielberg

Back in the early 90's my mom worked for a television station and they got the chance to view the stock Jurassic park footage before the cuts and alterations to gauge the reviewer reception. She sneaked one of the VCR tapes home with her for us to view. I still have it in my cupboard complete with the rolling timestamp at the bottom and cut scenes, probably one of the most complete versions of the film available.

There were 17 minutes of deleted scenes found 7 years ago from 2001 a space odyssey. Don't know if it'll ever get seen. There was a lot more cut footage from 2001 that Kubrick destroyed. I know there was one scene cut because it was just redundant where Dave Bowman was talking to Mission Control about replacing the AE-35 unit and Mission Control was basically repeating back the same stuff in a later scene.

The Eric Stoltz thing with Back To The Future is bizarre. That is just crazy. I can see where Stoltz is more of a dramatic actor and the light-hearted kids action movie is more suited to Fox.

Black Cauldron is part of an award winning 5 volume children's set known as the Book of Three. Great series, but surprising choice for a stand alone movie.

Ghost Corps just revealed they have the infamous Fort Detmerring scene from the first Ghostbusters, and are planning to release it in some form. It would be interesting if they could find the GBII Ray possession scene as well, but honestly I wonder if it was even fully filmed.

Actually the stoltz cut was confirmed to be released “in the foreseeable future” by bob gale, so we might actually see an entire different film

Gutted that we'll likely never see the filmed Faramir/Eowyn wedding scene. There was an old article where a guy was on set and talked about the filming process, and in the extended version disks, Ngila Dickson, the costume designer, said that the costumes she created for this scene were her absolute best work.

I think Disney should release an unreleased uncut version of The Black Cauldron to the public.

Ya I would love to see all of Eric's part of Back to the future

To the War Film buffs out there... I saw 'Midway' on late night TV when I was a kid & there was a scene where the US looses at the Coral Sea! SO few people new of the scene, that I thought I had dreamt it! 'Bout 20 years later, I caught a viewing of the flic with the deleted footage! But could Never find a home theater version with the shots. (Even when I worked for a video store!)

Lol, the thumbnail BROUGHT ME here Lol. Omg.

it's said that film of Brandon Lee being killed on the set of The Crow still exists somewhere

"The Land Before Time" Is another example like "black Cauldron". However it was Steven Spielberg himself who ordered Bluth to cut tons of scenes which he deemed too gruesome.... Which included more scenes with Littlefoot's mother. I think about 20 Minutes had to be cut and apparently aren't available anymore.

It's pretty straightforward why said footage are never going to be released to the public. The owners want to jack the prices up for a future private auction; since the profit margin will be more in the hands of a private collector rather than re-releasing the movie+bonus content in a Bluray or DVD.

This was an interesting video. I have never even heard of The Black Cauldron. As for The Lord Of The RIngs and the Harry Potter movies, you could probably come up with 10 movies worth of film using the edited stuff. You really should have a separate video for each of those franchises. And let me just say that for $500 you should have Harry Potter himself deliver that box set to your door! When it comes to other movies I'd love to see the cut footage of The Big Chill- the scenes with Kevin Costner that Lawrence Kasdan has refused to let people see.

12 minutes of animation was removed? That's about 2.5 months worth of work right there.

I thought Marty McFly was actually played by Michael J.Fox.
