Movies how they should have ended

In a perfect world, every movie would end at the perfect moment. But some simply go on too long, sometimes squandering a perfect ending in exchange for wrapping things up in a tidy bow or giving a character a happy ending.

It's only natural that directors would want to make their stories perfect, but sometimes what sounds like an excellent spot to end a story just doesn't translate that way for the audience.

How It Should Have Ended is a place for animated parody alternate endings to major motion pictures.
