Missing scene near end of DVD


While watching the movie on my DVD copy, I thought there was something missing between Mr. MacDhui's plea to Lori to come to the house for Mary and their arrival at Mary's room. I dug out my old VHS dub from the Disney Channel (when it was a pay channel worth having) and sure enough, there was a scene with the three boys at the front door with Mrs. MacKenzie waiting for Mr. MacDhui to come home. Hughie told Mrs. MacKenzie that Mary's father had done a very brave thing and that they were no longer against him, and asked her to tell Mary. That turnaround, after his previous parroting of his grandfather in running a smear campaign, was most heartwarming and never should have been cut. It was only a couple of minutes, and whatever dinkweasel of a bean counter was responsible should hang his or her head in shame.
