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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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