What are some alternate endings to Disney stories?

Sure. In 'Beauty and the Beast', an alternate ending could be that Belle decides to leave the Beast not because of his appearance, but because she realizes she has her own dreams and ambitions outside of the castle. She goes back to her village and starts a school for girls. The Beast, in turn, learns to be a better ruler on his own.

Some original endings were darker. For example, in the original 'Snow White' ending, the Evil Queen was made to dance in red - hot iron shoes until she died. It was a much harsher punishment compared to the more family - friendly version we know today.

In the real ending of 'Snow White', after she wakes up from the poisoned apple, she struggles with post - traumatic stress disorder from her near - death experience. The dwarfs have to help her through this difficult time, and her relationship with the prince is also more strained as she has changed because of what she has been through.

Well, in the real ending of 'The Little Mermaid', Ariel actually has a difficult time adjusting to life on land. She misses her underwater home and friends a great deal at first. There are also political tensions between the human world and the underwater kingdom that continue to be an issue even after she marries the prince.

Some Disney stories have darker or more complex real endings. For example, in the original 'Little Mermaid' by Hans Christian Andersen which inspired Disney's version, the Little Mermaid doesn't get her happy ending with the prince. Instead, she turns into sea foam. Disney often modifies these endings to be more family - friendly and positive.

Some Disney stories have different endings in their original versions compared to the well - known adaptations. For example, in the original 'The Little Mermaid' by Hans Christian Andersen, which inspired the Disney version, the mermaid doesn't get a happily - ever - after with the prince. Instead, she turns into sea foam. Another example is 'Beauty and the Beast'. In some earlier versions, the Beast doesn't transform into a handsome prince until much later in the story.

One alternate ending could be that the main character decides to give up their quest and live a simple life instead. This could completely change the tone of the story.

Well, for example, in the original 'Snow White' story, the real ending has Snow White waking up after the prince's kiss and they get married and live happily ever after in his kingdom.

Well, for Cinderella, in the real ending she marries the prince and they live happily ever after in the castle. She uses her kindness and grace to rule beside him and brings positive changes to the kingdom.

One possible alternate ending could be that the main character manages to escape the war - torn city and finds a peaceful place to start a new life. Maybe he discovers a hidden community that accepts him and he finally gets to experience some normalcy.
