Madagascar: The Alternate Ending

Dreamworks was already craving the success of Shrek ever since it first came out. Selling merchandise, selling DVDs and even making a sequel to it in 2004. But we're not here to talk about Shrek, we're here to talk about Madagascar. One of dreamwork's most famous and quotable movies. Some of my friends happen to be big fans of this movie and they seem to like the sequels better than the original.

And for good reason, too.

After Shrek 2 was released, Dreamworks announced another animated motion picture called Madagascar. At the time, Madagascar was only known as a country. Many people didn't know that a film with talking zoo animals would be popular, but it was. Although not as popular as Shrek, Madagascar managed to be a box office success gaining 532.7 million dollars in its opening week.

Before releasing the movie, Dreamworks had to cut out a scene that was supposed to be the ending of the movie. Despite being horrendously graphic, the company decided to show a test screening of the alternate ending. Apparently, it scared people so much that they wouldn't even go to the cinema anymore. The scene was eventually edited out and replaced with a much, much happier ending.

For years, most people have said that this ending is most likely in the trash can at Dreamworks studios while other people said that the footage is long gone. A few people say that it's now used as a prop at some sort of Library in the US.

Those were all lies

Someone actually managed to put it on YouTube under the title of "Madagascar: The Alternate Ending"

Let me just say, that this part of the story is not suitable for highly sensitive readers or readers that get easily spooked. If you feel like you can't read stuff about blood and gore, click off this creepy pasta and read something else. Anyway, enjoy.

The scene started with the animals returning to the island. They all looked happy and excited except for Melman (Who looked rather nervous) "What's the matter, Melman?" Alex said. Melman didn't say a word, he just kept chattering his teeth. "Have you been having nightmares?" asked Gloria who was also looking worried. Melman started to speak "They.....they're...." "They're what?" Alex replied. Melman stopped speaking and began staring into the camera. It then showed footage of Mort and King Julian having a party until they're interrupted by a rather strange looking man. "What are you doing here?" King Julian said nervously. The man brought out a chainsaw and started to chase Mort and King Julian with it. King Julian managed to climb up a tree to escape while Mort hid in a bush. The man found Mort and starting squeezing him. Apparently, he squeezed him so hard that blood began pouring from his eyes and mouth. He then found King Julian who was hiding in a birds nest in a tree. He grabbed King Julian down from the tree and started to kill him. We don't see it, though. As it cuts to black. It then showed Julian's dead corpse. His organs were shoved into his mouth and his eyes were ripped out. It then cut back to the scene where Alex was about to eat sushi for the first time. But instead of liking it, he just says "This tastes like murder" Which causes everyone to be shocked and scared. "Who the hell would do this?!" Alex exclaimed as he started to cry. He then glared at Gloria, then started mauling her to death. Gloria screamed in terror as this was happening. She then fainted to the ground, with a huge gruesome bite mark on her stomach. It then cut back to the beginning scene. "You....killed......gloria" Alex stuttered as his face turned blue. "OH THAT'S BULLCRAP!" Alex yelled. "I DIDN'T KILL ANYONE!" "Stop it, Alex" Melman whispered "You're scaring me......" The screen suddenly cut to black. It then showed Alex's body torn to shreds. Blood was all over the floor and his face was absolutely mutilated. He also had cuts all over his body, The credits then rolled.

So now you know why this ending was deleted. If this was in a G rated movie, I'd be absolutely petrified. Sorry if I scared any sensitive readers or readers who are easily creeped out. There was a warning near the top of the paragraph. Did you not read it?
