According to illustrator Paul Westover, no one makes more irrational, emotion-based decisions than Disney characters. To highlight this, he has created a brilliant series. It imagines alternate Disney movie endings, showing how the stories would have unfolded if Simba, Aladdin, and other beloved characters used basic logic.
On the plus side, the characters become more proactive but the downfall is that the plots would probably get waaay shorter. Do you agree with the artist and think these endings make more sense? Let us know in the comment section below!
P.S. This isn't the first time that Paul has reimagined Disney stories. Check out his equally amusing and completely over-the-top illustration series which asks the question how Disney movies would look with cops in them.

Cinderella
Joelle Jansen 8 years ago
OMG so true. Like, what did you look at all night, prince charming, that you cannot recognise her face?
Flopy Di Ciocco Amaya 8 years ago
Sorry to disappoint you, but part of the charm was to make her unrecognizable so that her step mother and step sister wouldn't harass her on the party and so she could have a great night free of consequences for disobeying her step-mother’s order. That’s why he couldn’t find her by looking at her.

I always thought that story was fishy . U dont rem her face, and no matter how small her feet many women share a shoesize..
Trisha Dragon 8 years ago
This one is dumb. Fairy god-b***h can can magic mice into horses and s**t you don't think she beat Cindy's face to perfection? Plus Cindy wasn't there to ride the Princes man meat and she had to hide from her horrible b***h family. Why would she announce a bunch of s**t for no reason? Plus she had that head scarf thing on. We aren't all terribly observant visually. I can identify people I haven't seen in years by the sound of their voice. If I turn around and you take ya hat off I'm going to be wondering where the hell you went when I turn back around. I hear everything you say, I'm a next level listener but uhm, I'm utterly oblivious on visual things. I can see princy poo not knowing who Cindy was.

I would think that rational thing to do would be to leave abusive family and find a job?

I'm sure you would be able to do that in the Middle Ages.

Mulan
Hayley Lightcap 8 years ago
I think Mulan is one of the few movies that was actually logical. If she tried this she would be murdered
Benny Chen 8 years ago
That's dumb. If Mulan revealed that she is a girl, she will get killed. Not only holding a dragon, which is an icon of the emperor, directly challenge the ruling reign, but she is a girl in the army. Her family may also be questioned or killed.
Kelsey Senese 8 years ago
This just would have gotten her beheaded... even today it's illegal to impersonate military and law enforcement officers. If she hadn't saved Shang's life or believed to have killed the Huns, then she would have been put to death. Women who enrolled in the military during the Civil War hid their identities and genders because their COs could have sent them home, killed them, or worse because women weren't allowed to serve... and that's just America and China is a whole hell of a lot more strict.

In Mongolia, nobody would've cared, or even given her a higher rank
Lizzy R 8 years ago
thats if mulan was in a modern time era. this was a time where she would have been murdered on the spot even if she had a dragon. A rational version of this would have been her realizing that her father would have never been accepted into the army or given a messenger job because of his bum leg. I mean Ping(aka mulan) was a fully healthy male to them but was just s**t poor at training....

Lion King

Except the problem was that Simba thought it was an accident. Did you not watch the movie?
Mich Blackhawk 8 years ago
Also, Simba was a child. A terrified child against a clever, manipulative adult. Children do not have the reasoning skills or confidence of adults.
Hamlets twin 8 years ago
I know its Hamlet, but this whole story is messed up. They named the guy Scar after his disability! Of course he wanted to get back at them.
Edwin Garvin 8 years ago
Simba is in the movie as a child is in real life. they can be tricked and manipulated very easily. but i doubt the lionesses would be so gullible (especially Sarabi)to believe Simba could kill his father as a cub when scar was right there.
Master Markus 8 years ago
The lie that Scar told the lionesses was that BOTH Simba and Mufasa were dead, and it was an accident altogether. However, at the time he DID think that Simba was killed by his hyena lackeys, he didn't blame Simba for it in front of anyone until he came back as an adult.

Also.. "immortal" means "can't die".. it doesn't mean "doesn't suffer". If one of them got hit by a car and suffered extensive brain damage, he'd be in a coma forever. You can't even take him off life support.

If your loved ones were immortal and you not.. they'd all have to watch you die.

Beauty And The Beast

But he would have turned into a real beast, one that had animal instincts, and all the servants would become whatever inanimate object they where

i don't think he would be a "real beast". he would just stay in his form forever.

Actually no. Once the last pettle falls. He remains a best but his servants become useless junk and they won't be alive

It's great that Mr Westover illustrated these alternative endings because really often when I watch a Disney movie or some other movie I become irritated with the main characters' stupidity and I'm sure many other people feel the same way. Seeing a more rational and logical thinking displayed by the characters almost redeems the unsatisfactory short plot.

This just made me think of how in all Action movies when it is more than one on one, the baddies wait their turn. If they all just jumped the good guy at once, game over !
Melissa Clapp 8 years ago
And every horror movie....if someone is trying to make kill you don't run into the woods or basement. Get a damn gun. Movie over in 10 mins. Also, doesn't anyone in movies realize you can run to the left or right? Nu do they only run straight ahead then end up getting hit by the car, space ship, boulder, etc...?

But Simba is manipulated into thinking he was responsible he has no idea that his uncle Scar did it.

the less rationality is a part of their charm~ well anyway in the times of Mulan she would have gotten killed if she did that~ Snow white I don't think she even knows the value of such gems to bribe others, she lived in the castle all the time~ Beast well I don't know strong he maybe but against the numbers he'd be killed~ Al...that's pretty good lol!~
