Hello there, Disney fans. So let's be honest. If you like me, you absolutely
love Disney movies, but there are a few movies that I just wish would have ended a little bit
better. In some cases, the original ending is super bad and in other cases it's pretty good,
but it could just be a little teensy bit better. So that's why in today's video,
I am breaking down Disney movies that I wish had different endings.
I'm not only going to be mentioning why I think the ending is bad,
but I'm also going to be talking about ways that they could've made the ending better.
And trust me, some of these alternative endings are mindblowing. They movie from good to great,
to exceptionally great. So just keep watching. But before I get started, be sure to like this video
and subscribe because there's actually a ton of our viewers aren't even subscribed to our channel.
What's that all about? So let's go ahead and fix that and hit the notification bell while
you're at it. So in no particular order, these are the Disney movies that I wish had different
endings. First up is Frozen. So Frozen. We all know is the worldwide mega hit. Everybody and
their mom was singing "Let It Go" in 2013, 2014. And it really is a fantastic movie.
It has everything you're looking for in a Disney animated film. It has princesses,
not just one, but two princesses. It has incredible songs. It have beautiful animation.
It just has that whole fairytale Disney vibe that we have grown to love. The ending is actually
pretty amazing with Anna sacrificing herself, an act of true love for her sister Elsa. However,
there was one tiny change that I wish they would have made it that would have taken this room from
amazing to best Disney film of all time. And this comes at the moment right after Anna is
turned into ice. In the movie Anna just sacrificed herself. And it really takes
only a few seconds for Elsa to realize this, to feel super sad, but then for Anna to come
back to life. So yes, her frozen heart did get the best of her and turned her into ice.
However, her act of true love is what broke the spell. Now this
is where I would change things. Between the time when she gets frozen and she comes back to life.
I want Elsa to sing a reprise of "Do You Want to Build a Snowman?" If you remember, "Do You Want
to Build a Snowman?" is the song that Anna sings to Elsa as they are growing up. And Elsa, time
and time again, repeatedly shuts Anna out. Elsa never sings in the song. She never responds back,
but how cool would it be if during this part, Elsa finally sings, "Do You Want to Build a Snowman?"
So Elsa can finally say, "do you want to build a snowman?" And she'll say, "yes, I want to play."
And she could just sing this really touching slow rendition. It kind of reminds me of an
Aladdin when Aladdin sings the One Jump Reprise" after he's been shut out and he sings, "Riff Raff,
straight rat. I don't buy that." It's just such a tender moment. And everyone loves it.
I think a slow tender reprise, just like that. But in this moment in frozen
would really take this moment up a notch. And I'm not the only person who thinks this. There's
actually a few fan renditions on YouTube. So I'll include a link to my favorite one
down below, just so you can imagine this "Do You Want to Build a Snowman?" in all its glory.
Next up is The Princess and the Frog. So at the very end of Princess and the Frog,
Naveen and Tiana are together and they are dancing and life is great. But what about Charlotte?
"I will do it. I will kiss a frog. I will kiss a hundred
frogs if were to marry a price and a princess."
All Charlotte has ever wanted is to be a princess. And so she finds a Prince
with Naveen's little brother, except the problem is he's like five, six, four--way,
way, way too young. It's a funny gag. Like she's willing to wait, but it's kind of not funny.
"Whoda thought the prince would have had a younger brother.
How old did you say you were?" "I'm six and a half." "Well, I waited this long!"
Obviously Charlotte is never going to change and she's always been the same. However, what I think
would have made this moment even better is that she finally gave up her dreams of finding a prince
and just found a man that she was in love with. If you remember, at the beginning of the film
at Charlotte's ball, there is a guy named Travis who is dressed up like a court jester,
and he asks her to dance that dance doesn't end up happening. And nothing happens with that.
"Travis, when a woman says later, she really means not ever. No run along."
But what if at the end of the movie, he asks her to dance again, and she actually starts falling
for him. It would be a really cute moment. And it would show a little bit more character growth
with Charlotte where ultimately what she wanted, isn't what she needed. It would just be a great
juxtaposition of seeing Tiana who never cared about being a princess or getting a prince.
She getting that. And then Charlotte, who that's all she ever wanted in her life actually
find someone better for her who is not a prince. Next up is Pocahontas. At the end of Pocahontas,
we see that John Smith has to go back to England and Pocahontas stays at home with her people. And
to the very end of the film, they had this Epic love story. They were from two different worlds,
yet they fell in love anyway. However, real life kind of got in the way and they realized, eh,
we can't really make this work. So they go their separate ways.
So in these final moments, we see John Smith going away on his boat
and Pocahontas she's running like the wind. She goes to her favorite cliff, and then...we wave.
[inaudible],
That's it. Ana. To be honest, it's pretty anticlimactic. And it's just like,
"Bye. See you later. See you never." And I don't really know how they would change this. I do
like the fact that we don't get our typical fairytale, happy ending, where they end up
together sometimes in real life. That just doesn't happen no matter how in love you are. So he goes
to separate ways. She goes to separate ways, but could there have been a better way than
just a lame wave? Let me know if it comes, blow how you would have changed this scene. Up next:
Hercules. The ending of Hercules has bothered me ever since I saw it in theaters because it just
doesn't make sense. For his entire life Hercules has just wanted to be somewhere where he would be
accepted somewhere that is finally home and for him because he is a God that is at Mount Olympus.
That is his home. That's where he needs to be. No wonder these measly humans didn't accept
you because you're not one of them. You have a higher calling. You are a god. So for the whole
movie he's working towards this thing, he's only wants to be a hero, not to get fame and fortune,
but simply so he can regain his status on Mount Olympus. So when he finally proves that he's a
true hero, what does he do? He gives it up for a girl. Giving up exaltation for love?
That's short-sighted. And I get what they were trying to do here. True love, conquers all, but
she's mortal and she's going to die and you just gave up your immortality. So you're going to die
too. Why don't you have your cake and eat it too. Become a god and then visit Megara on earth.
If you've ever read Greek mythology, you know that these Greek gods are not strangers to
hanging out with mortals and hanging out on earth. So what's to stop Hercules from doing
that. How come just because you're a God, you can no longer be with Meg. This way,
we get the resolution of him becoming a God, going back with his family, being with his people,
embracing his destiny and who he truly is. And hey, he gets to hang out with Meg for the next
70 years until she dies. Sounds pretty good to me. And I get it. It's not as romantic of an ending,
but I think it's way better. Next up: Aladdin. Aladdin is my number one. Favorite Disney
animated film of all time. I like this movie. I probably watched it over 1000 times at this point,
and I'm not even kidding. And while I give this film a five out of five stars,
I still have a tiny little nitpick that I think would have made this even better.
So at the end of the movie, Aladdin and Jasmine are together. We see them at the end,
they're wearing they're supposed wedding clothes, except for it's not their wedding clothes. Because
we realized they don't actually get married until the third movie. So scratch that. And
they sing a little mini reprise of "A Whole New World" while on the magic carpet. And they
float off into the sunset. And to give you that last little dash of humor before the movie ends,
we have the genie who is pretending to be the moon he's laughing. And at the very end says, "Made you
look," which totally goes in line with the genie and his character. However, if you remember back
to the beginning of the movie, it starts out with this peddler who tells the tale of Aladdin.
"This is no ordinary land. It wants changed the cost of a young man's life.
A young man who liked this lamp was more than what he seemed."
How does he know this story, you ask? Because he's actually the genie.
Unfortunately, we don't ever get this payoff in the film. We never go back to the peddler
to reveal his identity as the genie all along. Initially, this ending was storyboarded and
was part of the original script, but they decided to cut it. Are you sure?
Like I told you, things are never quite what they seem."
And I get it. It might have ruined the momentum going back to him or introducing him again. Like,
"Who was that? That guy?" Instead of ending on this amazing high note of Aladdin and Jasmine
singing. But I'm not going to give up that easily. I still think there would have been
a really simple, easy way to tie in. It could just be a quick little cameo where he appears
and a little nod to the audience. I don't know how they would've done it, but I wish
they would have included it to make the story come full circle. Next up: Toy Story 4. Guys.
I saved the best for last because this one is so good. Now Toy Story 4. Let's be honest of all the
Toy Story films is my least favorite of all of them. And I'm not going to go into that today.
I did a podcast episode all about that. So I'll include a link to the show notes if you
want to check out that review. But despite me not necessarily liking the film, I feel like I
would have liked the film better if they changed this one thing. So one of the big problems that I
have with this movie, it was basically the fact that Woody was forced to give up his voice box
to Gabby Gabby. Gabby Gabby never had a properly working voicebox. And she always felt that she was
missing out on something in life. The reason that she was not successful, she never had a
kid was because of her voice box. And basically after she coerces Woody to harvest his organs.
Oh, isn't that lovely?
Yeah, that happened at a Pixar film. She has her opportunity with Harmony. And just like that,
the moment she's always been waiting for...Harmony kicks her to the curb.
"You can take it home if you want." "Nah."
So it's going to be a really great moment for Gabby Gabby to realize, "okay,
it wasn't the voice box after all. I don't need this. I didn't need to take this from someone."
I think in this moment, she should have given the voice box back to Woody because honestly,
no matter how they try to tell me that he freely gave it to her,
no, she blackmailed him. She stole it from him and she could have just accepted her fate as a
broken toy. This would have taught a lesson that you need to be comfortable in your own skin,
that you were made, the way that you were made to be, but it gets even better. I have an even
better ending after this point. So now let's jump to the very end where she actually gets her kid:
that little girl at the carnival. The girl who was scared and crying and couldn't find her way.
I'm getting goosebumps thinking about this right now. Can you see it?
How much more touching and amazing would this ending have been? If instead of her having a
voice box, she didn't have a voice box. And she goes to that girl and she consoles that
girl. And she helps that girl. And it turns out that little girl is deaf. And that's one of the
reasons why the little girl was so scared and she was having a hard time finding her parents.
This girl could have found Gabby Gabby and loved her just the way that she was. She didn't need a
voicebox. And this really could have sent a message that sometimes things happen in
your life. And you don't understand the reason why until years later, and the reason why Gabby Gabby
never had a functioning voice box was because she was never meant to.
She was destined for this one girl, 50 years later. I think this would
have been such a great ending. It would have had an incredible message and moral,
and then also would have given a little bit more representation to those with disabilities.
I don't like toy story four at all, but I really like this version of Toy Story 4.
I would love to do a part two of this video. So let me know in the comments below and we can keep
the conversation going. And if you haven't already be sure to subscribe, hit that notification bell,
because I'm even doing a ton more of these fun Disney, Pixar, animation videos. I have some
really, really good ones coming out for you in the future and you won't want to miss them. So
that's all I have for you today, Disney fans. And until next time we are the Rotoscopers...Even
though it's just me. Okay, just cut that. Like let's just get with, get with the program. Just
start talking. Don't tell what you're gonna tell him while I think all of these endings
That rogue light that just loves to randomly turn on.
"Riff raff, street rat. I don't buy that. If only they'd look closer." Oh yeah, "One Jump!"
