sorry i'm a noob. I love TTYD but forgot about it over the years. What is this "extended version" you are talking about? extended version of the movie? or these behind the scenes?

@rooeeez The extended version has about half an hour of additional scenes that were cut from the final theatrical version. They added quite a bit to the movie and are interesting to watch, but I can see why they were not necessary to the movie. The behind-the-scenes bits on this page came from a TV broadcast of the movie, I forget which channel it was on.

The extended version is so much better. Not a scene I didn't like.

@malikamakamuki That's only the case if you don't sing or have stage presence. Look at McCartney, Simmons, or Claypool for successful examples.

Tom Hanks did a great job with this movie!

The movie was on tonight. It's so cool that the actors were really playing and singing.

Great voices and music. Six weeks of hard work. Awesome talent! I loved it!

@oldfart387 I rented TTYD from Netflix. It had both the theatrical and the directors cut on the disc.

@oldfart387 I bought it from Amazon.com or eBAy, it's widely available.

@stevessn Steve, want to watch the extended, any idea where it's at?

[stevessn]

You got to watch the extended version of TTYD. I like it even better than the short version. Of course that's why they call it the director's cut. Thanks for the post.

@malikamakamuki Tom Hanks is a genius in every way, shape, and fashion... He really hit the nail on the head with this movie. But I grew up playing bass as well, and realized the inevitable truth of the situation, so I learned to play lead guitar and sing... Haha

[malikamakamuki]

@thewonkhotline I loved it because as a bass player myself, I know that everyone notices the lead singer, the drummer, the guitar players, but the bass player is usually unoticed by the average fan, even if the bass player is killing it. So when I saw T.B. Player on the credits, I realized they never mentioned his name in the entire movie. He was just known as "The Bass Player." This movie was briliant.
