It's a re-release of the film on Blu-Ray with the original ending where Seymour and Audrey get killed. Frank Oz discussed this and told me about it personally when I asked him to sign my Little Shop DVD at his recent appearance at the Museum of the Moving Image last October in NY.
I hate that EVERYTHING has to be premium for Blu-Ray, and DVD's (with no price decrease) are thrown out like slop for pigs, with the movie studios say "be grateful you pathetic swine!"Hmm, interesting. I've been curious about that ending, But only on Blu-Ray? Poop, I don't have one of those players. I suppose I'll get one eventually.
No, you're rights. It'd be like if Romeo and Juliet had a happy ending, (I'm not counting Gnomeo), or if Dumbledore didn't die in Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. These are sad scenes, but they're needed for the plots! I must be evil to actually want Audrey II to win.I hate that EVERYTHING has to be premium for Blu-Ray, and DVD's (with no price decrease) are thrown out like slop for pigs, with the movie studios say "be grateful you pathetic swine!"
But this is great. I remember that one of the original DVD's of Little Shop actually had the ending as a bonus feature, but it was pulled because one of the film makers complained about it.
I've seen the alternate ending on YT a couple years ago, and I quite liked how that one came out. It's much closer to the original film's unhappy horror movie ending. The sweet and sappy ending works in a revisionist history Animated Titanic sort of way, but the "The End? Or is it?" smirk of the small Audry plant just doesn't do it for me the way Audries taking over the world does.
