Months after these edits, the film was finally completed, with the runtime sitting at 80-82 minutes. Another well-known scene in which the main characters come upon an oasis inhabited by fat 'crown-heads' (Pachycephalosaurus) and 'gray-noses' (Saurolophus), who refuse to share food and water with one another (giving Cera an epiphany on not judging others based on their species) was also verified to be one of the lost scenes, but whether it made it to the animation stage or not is unknown. Others include an extended version of the scene where Spike debuts, as well as the final battle with Sharptooth. This particular sequence contained 19 shots (almost a minute of footage) that never made it to the end of production. One of the first of these major cut scenes included potentially overwhelming images from the encounter with Sharptooth, the tyrannosaurus rex, which would have featured multiple close-ups of him attacking out of nowhere in the bramble bushes. Around six months before completion of the film, numerous scenes were toned down or removed due to being deemed either too frightening or too difficult for children to understand, many of which were in color, with sound.
