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
OMG so true. Like, what did you look at all night, prince charming, that you cannot recognise her face?
The Little Mermaid
Lion King
Except the problem was that Simba thought it was an accident. Did you not watch the movie?
Aladdin
Lol. The eternal "what would you wish for question" ofc now it seems silly but i would ask for 10 more min of nap each morning.
Beauty And The Beast
I like how each of them are all straight up savages LOL. Do one of Pocahontas and Tiana please!!
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 !
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...?
-make. Nu = why. Sorry, my iPad hates me this morning.
You are right on this. Maybe with little exception for the Saw where they had quite limited options. But the worst case of not getting a weapon? I would vote for Birds. The school scene. Playground visibly full of damn birds, room full of potential weapons and what they did? Tried to get out silently? Over that damn playground?
I scream this every Marvel movie.
LOL, I like that Brianna is in the theater shouting tips for the bad guys
I was doing it the other night watching Transporter for the 5th time, then realised I did not want to see Jason Statham beaten up :P
