This was actually the original cut, but Peter Jackson and Steven Spielberg had differing opinions on how the scene should go. Eventually George Lucas and James Cameron decided that it would be best to go with Martin Scorcese's casting decision, and idea to have Gandalf be played by Ian McKellan and have all of his teeth, and for Frodo to be played by Sean Aston and to not be a retard, because it would set up the ensuing Harry Potter sequels to flow better within the continuity of the franchise. I don't own this movie/scene.
