I got the chance to watch the LEGEND versions you created and I have just one word for you :
Bravo!
I think you did a really great job of cutting the extra footage into the film and using the Goldsmith music to integrate it successfully.
The funny thing about watching the 118 minute version for me was that I found myself realizing several things :
1) I really like the fact that in this version (and the 113 minute cut) you really get to see that Lili is not innocent and that she is changed by the experiences that she goes through during the film.
2) Seeing the alicorn restored to the unicorn at the end of the film is excellent (just like seeing it cut off earlier is cool too!)
3) The film feels really long getting to the point where the world is frozen in snow and ice. I can now see why they decided early on to cut the longer introduction to the film. I just wish we had a more finalized version of that scene - Goldsmith scored it so it had to exist at some point!
Thank you for taking the time and expending the effort to make these versions - I really appreciate it and I know that other LEGEND fans will as well.
