All Dogs Go to Heaven (1989) Partially Found Deleted Scenes

'All Dogs Go To Heaven' Poster.

Two darker scenes were cut during initial test screenings, one involving the main character Charlie being hit by the car (in the general release the aftermath is seen), the second being a longer sequence of his nightmare of Hell. The original version also contained minor cursing which was also edited, in the vinyl soundtrack of the song let me be surprised Charlie can be heard saying damn which is clearly animated in the movie.

The original uncut version was stolen and Goldcrest films destroyed the remaining uncut print to avoid storage fees. Gary Goldman the Co Director and Producer was interviewed about several Don Bluth movies; was asked will there ever be a directors cut and is quoted as saying, "No. The footage that was cut, was discarded, not saved. The drawings were not archived. Goldcrest Film and Television actually refused to store the original art (drawings) and, I believe most of the cells and backgrounds were destroyed or taken to the dump in the UK. 'They said that it cost them “too much” for adequate temperature & humidity-controlled storage.'"^[1] - Because of this it is highly unlikely that there will ever be a full uncut version, although there have been rumors of Don Bluth owning the only uncut version in existence.
