Animating the Alternative Ending



How It Should Have Ended

Movie endings are possibly the most important part of a movie, it's the ending that ultimately defines most people's opinions of an entire film. Even if the movie was great a sub-par, anticlimactic ending can ruin just about anyone's overall opinion of a Movie. I'd probably go out of my way and say 'Signs' was a good movie with a really poor ending, I mean really... The Aliens were weak to Water? Why the hell try and invade a planet where 70% of the freaking surface is water?

Anyway...

How It Should've Ended is animated web-series that takes the initiative to improve upon major motion picture endings. Not that all these movies needed a better ending but each animated short is a fresh parody take off which humorously points inconsistencies and abnormalities in the existing plot or sometimes coming up with a much easier and less dramatic or dangerous solution to the movie.

The site was created and run by Daniel Baxter, who animates, directs and voices all the videos, including writing some movie reviews with Tina Alexzander and drawing various comics on the HISHE site. Clearly Daniel is an exceptionally hard-working and talented man.

I implore anyone how enjoys movies to sit back and watch some of the HISHE endings, they'll brighten any day and make you appreciate internet animation series a little more.
