"The 747 sequence"

Part of the originally intended ending to Lilo & Stitch.

They switched the 747 to a spaceship and dropped the inner city part in the aftermath of some highly publicised plane crashes in 2001, as it was thought to be distasteful.

This scene would've been awesome in the film.

But, I agree, there was...that certain issue.

The tourist with the ice cream never seems to catch a break, does he?

You know they do have a point replacing the 747 with a spaceship i mean how else did Jumba and Pleakley travel to Earth to collect Stitch?

@1johnhancock I guess, much like Pudge the Fish being killed was cut for being too dark.

@SC3PT1L3F4N Well, I suppose that it would create a plot hole, but the big reason why this scene was cut is the same reason why the twin towers thing was probably cut from the first Spiderman movie... After 9/11, scenes like this would just bring back painful memories of that day, and may even be criticized as insensitive or insulting to the vicims. As cool as this scene is, the decision to change it is respectable.

hahaha pleakley

Jumba has the most amazing plane-flying skills I have ever seen. 2:59 he makes it look like an average day at the skate park

'yes, how many pieces are in the four-piece luggage set?'

pleakly can be an idiot when he wants to be...

anyway, one of the possible reasons that this was cut would have been that this created a plot hole: how exactly DID jumba and pleakly arrive on earth?
