We're Back! A Dinosaur Story Infamous cut "Cage" scene and pencil tests

Start @ 1:17 for
The infamous cage scene from We're Back! A Dinosaur Story. The scene was briefly shown in a preview for the movie; where Professor ScrewEyes cages the dinosaurs and tells them the tale of how he lost his eye and why he's obsessed with fear. The scene was fully animated, and had the dialogue recorded - but was deemed too scary/ disturbing for kids, so it was cut. Now for everyone who saw the We're Back! preview of this scene and got confused - here it is!
Also featuring pencil tests from the movie.

Is there also footage or pencil sketches of when ScrewEyes uses a canon, yes a canon, to literally blast the Brain Drain down the dinos throats?

As a kid, I both saw the film and collected the films counterpart books that were available. So when I read the part with the canon, it threw me off. Especially because there were pictures of the films characters to go along with it. o,o

Anyone out there have further information?

@TakShadoWing No clue, this is the first I've heard of the canon story.

Okay...I'm gonna say this as a huge Batman nerd (which I am proud to be) but...

A part of prof. Screweye's past refers a lot to prof. Jonathan Crane's (The Scarecrow) past. Screweye was attacked by crows as a child, so was Crane. Screweye's afraid of crows but keeps them by his side all the time, so does the Scarecrow(Crane) and they both can control everything they fear with fear!

I can see the similarities - that's actually a really good comparison!

@Sh4d0wKat Since his brother is Neweyes, I'd imagine they would have the same last name. Maybe that was his original name and he was able to conveniently change it to suit his eyes :P

From what I see here, I don't think the 'infamous' cut scene is scary; if anything, it gives us more insight into the Professor's character, including why he's scared of the crows that flock around his circus and the reason he began said circus in the first place (as a way to distract from his own fear via inciting fear in others; this 'mastery of fear' gives him a much-needed sense of control in what he sees as an otherwise senseless, uncontrollable world).

Is there a scarier part after that?

[Sh4d0wKat]

Makes you wonder what Screweyes' real name is, since it's probably a moniker he uses to inspire fear.

Malkovich sounds creepy, but too young. Mars was a better fit.

this deleted scene is starting to make sense

[devildog452]

I uh don't get it.

@devildog452 From what I read in the script they do - its at the part where Rex is pulling at the Cage Bars and Fireworks are going off in the Deleted Scene( even though we don't see them devolve in this cut on here)! Again does ScrewEyes say at the end of this cut "Oh, how will you satisfy the fearful of this world"?

[devildog452]

I wanted to see them turned into savage monsters in pain.

I got the script from script fly! But I can't reveal any of the dialogues from the script as I'll be breaking the law! Rex says "This guy is nuts." The next bit that features ScrewEyes is a lot of fireworks and I might know what it is but I'll have to listen to it - Question does he say "Oh, how will you satisfy the fearful of this world!"?
