Unfortenately the movie has been shortened for its release in US theaters. In Germany the Uncut Version was shown and also released on VHS and shown in TV, but for some reason the German DVD only contains the shorter US Theatrical Version.

The removed scenes are almost minor plot scenes to tighten the movie. Nevertheless the missing scenes at 61:45 and 62:50 are worth being watched, that's why the Uncut Version should be prefered. Escpecially the first one (garden party at the Hulmes' house) is really important for the plot because it contains lots of information about Juliet's parents and their lifes. Hilda's lover Bill, who suddenly pops up in the Theatrical Version, is being introduced here very nicely. It's also conspicious that a lot of dreaming scenes have been shortend or completely removed. Even though lots of these scenes are still in it, one might get the impression that this version wants to concentrate more on the so-called "real" plot. A detailed comparison between both versions with pictures can be found here.
