What if Children's Movies Had Different Directors?

Have you recently watched one of your favorite childhood movies and wondered how different the ending would have been if the script were handed over to another director? No? Well, perhaps I may be a little psychotic. Anyway, below are a few examples of how I believe particular children's movies would have ended if given to well-known, "revolutionary" directors.

The Lion King

directed by M. Night Shyamalan (pronounced 'sha-mla-na-lam-lim-lah-23-n')

After Simba prevails over his nefarious uncle, Scar, the plumes of smoke from the raging fire subside and provide a clear shot of the sky. The clouds once more make out the figure of his father, Mufasa, as he begins to speak these works, "Seembah, as you look upon the my face, know this: I am not your father but rather the last of a dying alien race. Open your eyes, Seembah, and see that the world is not as you would have it." At this point, Simba opens his eyes, and he's within an office building. He frantically surveys the area before stopping at an office window. The window does not reflect the image of a ferocious lion; rather, a businessman in a Armani  suit stares back. It is then that Simba realizes that lions had gone extinct decades before, and the world has succumb to the damaging effects of massive sun flares. His whole life was an alternate reality he conjured up to mask the death of his family.

FernGully: The Last Rainforest

by Christopher Nolan

Crysta and Zak Young confront Hexxus, the ancient spirit of destruction. After a short-live, yet epic, battle, heavy dialogue follows:

Hexxus: It's a funny thing, isn't it?

Zak: What's that?

Hexxus: Humans, they were given the world to thrive upon, yet they deem it disposible. Here, the rainforest still saves those who mean to destroy it.

Crysta: But, that's precisely what you intended to do.

Hexxus: Was that my true intent? Am I not just a replica of mankind. I seize the control of an unstoppable machine and weave a path of destruction where ever I so choose. Perhaps you should take a good long look at your friend there. Beyond appearance, is there anything that really sets us two apart?

Crysta focuses intently on Zak. She warily reachs for the nearest sharp object.

Crysta: He's right, y'know.

Zak: Listen, Crysta. He's deceiving you. She raises the sharp object over her head. Wh-What are you doing?

Suddenly, Batman swoops it and punches Crysta in the mouth and dropkicks Hexxus into oblivion.

Zak: There's the hero I was looking for.

The two of them then go out for tea and Fig Newtons.

Aladdin

directed by Michael Bay

As Aladdin, Genie, and the magic carpet battle against the limitless powers of Jafar. Aladdin all of a sudden grabs a bazooka and KAPURRRGH. Then, Genie launches a grenade and PWWWWAAAAWWW. After, the magic carpet reloads Aladdin's bazooka so he can shoot it at Jafar once more. Once it hits, it goes all KAPLOWIE. Then a separate EXPLOSION distracts the crew and Jasmine rides in on the back of Rajah with an AK-47 that's going all TSH, TSH, TSH all over Jafar. Then, Jafar trips a landmine and BOOOM! That's when Jafar has finally had enough and decides to implode rather than admit defeat. CRRABLAWWW! Just when the audience thinks everyone's dead. Aladdin, Genie, the magic carpet, Rajah, and Jasmine walk away from the raging fire and billowing smoke with ACDC blaring in the background.

I am incredibly childish.
