I hope someone finds one or two of them on a tape and puts them online. Everything else is on the internet. Laughing

Yeeeeeeeeeeeees, why aren't those on a DVD somewhere by now?! Laughing

I thought of something else!

They should put some of the "Great Minds Think for Themselves" educational shorts on the KOT disc. I'd love to see those things. I want to learn about Thomas Jefferson. Laughing

Ah, cool, thank you!

I think what threw me off was that they said they were showing the ending to test audiences, but I guess they could have just been showing them storyboards.

Ah, yeah, there it is! I was terrified at putting it up on the internet because of that huge PROPERTY OF WALT DISNEY STUDIOS line over it. It doesn't matter if I've worked for them, they will show no mercy when it comes to copyrights and illegal things up in the internet Laughing

Someone else can take the blame, yay! Laughing

This video contains both endings Shiera mentioned, mixed with footage from KOT and the actual ending.

At least, I think that's all of it. Laughing

I just rewatched it and there's a lot going on in that final version I forgot about. It's the AWNW Reprise, then the peddler to Genie part, and then "The End" shows up like I described in the first version, then Genie pushes that out of the way and does the "made you look!" thing, the screen comes back and it fades outs. It's about 20 extra seconds worth of a closing. I see why they cut all of it Laughing

The music is slightly arranged differently, too. There's an upbeat version of Arabian Nights playing that mixes in with the last few seconds of "Happy End In Agrabah" while the peddler is talking, then it goes to the normal ending by the time the "made you look" part shows up.

Now that I reread that article, it looks like the second alternate ending they were talking about, and it doesn't say how finished it was, only that it was "cut" for time... Either I read it somewhere else or I'm just making stuff up again. Laughing

There are two alternate endings Laughing

. One follows closer to the ending of KOT and the other is the ending to Aladdin as it is now plus the bit with the peddler instead of Genie lifting up the film reel.

I have storyboards of both of them myself, so if there's a finished version out there I don't own it.

Aren't all DVDs not rated anyway? Wink

The alternate ending for the original movie, with "Arabian Nights (Reprise)" and the peddler's true identity. It's one of the few movies with a fully-animated ending that was never used; why not put it on the DVD, when other movies get rough-animation and storyboard-only alternate endings included as special features?

Also for the original, an actors' commentary! Come on, you know you want to hear an hour and a half of Scott and Gilbert. Laughing

More cut songs; I'm sure there are more that even we don't know about.
