Hi everyone! I am one of the handful of people dedicated to the 1982 Bulgarian animated film "Планетата на съкровищата" or "[The] Treasure Planet". I have a couple different categories of lost media for this movie.
Lost Dubs
So far the Bulgarian original (DVD rip with AI upscale), English dub (DVD rip), and Czech dub (VHS rip) have been found and are publicly available. However, there are several lost or unconfirmed dubs which have been noted. Dubbing Database page
Lost 70-Minute Cut
All available versions of Treasure Planet run at just over 60 minutes. A few changes were made in the Czech dub such as the cutting out of a song in Bulgarian, preservation of a few frames cut from the DVD release, and an epilogue scene that may or may not have been in the Bulgarian original cut, or possibly created for the Czech release.
A Bulgarian YouTube user, Kamen Philip, claims to have watched the movie in theaters during their childhood countless times, and remembers it being singificantly longer than the versions we can see online. Other evidence has suggested the original cut of the movie is more like 70 minutes long, which is a huge lost media gem if true (for me, anyway!).
US Home Video Release
Apparently there was a home video release in the US for the English dub. It seems like this tape is extremely rare if it exists at all, but has been documented.
Thanks for reading! Please let me know if you have any info related to this, other dubs or lost versions of this movie, or are also interested in the search.

- A Serbian dub from Yugoslavia is known to exist, thanks to this movie poster that I actually have a copy of.
- An Arabic dub is recalled by a YouTube commenter, but no other evidence exists.
- A Spanish dub exists and was released on home video. Archivist EtherianAmber has a Betamax tape but unfortunately they don't have a player or a way to rip it.
- A Slovak dub may exist as it is noted on the Dubbing Database page.
