Movies That Were Changed After 9/11

[@classyonabudget4758]

It's funny because I also feel like the plasma dome is way funnier than them just bombing the restaurant. Something about trapping a lot of restaurant guests in an inescapable CPA quarantine while they search the premises and give people the George Sanderson treatment would put Mike and Sully WAY more on edge about being caught rather than the site just being cleared.

[@someanimedweebiamsure7071]

Well, no one was trapped. That one CDA agent specifically said “Building clear, ready for decontamination.”

It’s kind of surprising to me how impactful just one high profile terrorist attack could change so many movie. Monsters Inc.’s plasma dome scene, Lilo and Stitch’s airplane scene, various points in Spider Man. What’s even more surprising is how fitting some of the scenes fit in their respective movies.

[@Snuzzled]

I wish they had kept the twin towers in the movies released around 9/11. I can understand why they edited them out, but looking back, media containing those two buildings is a sort of source of pride for a lot of us, especially some of the last footage of them. It feels a bit strange knowing that some of the actual last footage of the buildings was digitally scrubbed away, just because it might been uncomfortable for viewers at the time.

[@SEB1991SEB]

I’ve always thought it was really weird that they wanted to delete the towers from movies, like that’s more disrespectful than anything. It’d be like deleting all the photos of a loved one after they pass away, and just pretending they never existed, because it pains you to think about them. The reason the towers featured in all those movies is because they’re so iconic, those movies paid tribute to them. And so it’s like the movie producers are helping to destroy the towers too by removing them from media, and from the public’s consciousness.

[@VidManYT]

They probably just didn’t want to remind people of the attacks, especially those who lost loved ones.

[@Doge10YT]

If it were some time later, you'd be right. Immediately afterwards, it's not really what someone wants to be reminded of.

[@cesarv7685]

Well to be fair, because of the attacks, the reminder of those towers are more haunting than it is welcoming. Like how a favorite memory suddenly becomes a bad dream.

[@Kyl3Brøfløvski1]

[@FireStriker_]

Yeah as someone who doesn’t remember a world without the towers it let to a feeling that it’s something we will never forgot but must never reference or talk about. So much so that all depiction of it should be erased as if the towers never existed. Now idk about you but to me, that’s dam confusing. Which is it? Do we never forgot or do we try to live on like the towers never existed.

Looking back, I never realized that the burned bag from Monsters Inc. was because of a deleted scene where they blew up the sushi shop. I think that young me saw them completely obliterate a sock as well as shave down what's-his-name that he just figured it was burned due to them decontaminating the bag.

[@jazzratoon]

I though Sully's bag was already like that. Now I know why...

[@alessandroditerlizzi569]

I always thought it was caused by the plasma bubble It burned the bag because plasma do stuff

[@Xudmud]

Given what they did to the sock, I'd always thought they had blown up the restaurant but the plasma bubble was to keep the explosion contained. It just never got shown on-screen. It worked a lot better in continuity given how careful they were with the sock earlier in the film; just recklessly blowing up the sushi restaurant wouldn't have made much sense for the CDA.

I've heard a story that for the Mariah Carey film Glitter, there was a brief shot of the WTC in one scene, and the filmmakers debated on whether or not to take it out. In the end, they decided to leave the shot in the final film, though they worried about how audiences might react. When the towers appeared in the scene, the whole theater erupted in applause.

[@bradwhite5884]

Yeah, this goes to show, what if they unedited or kept in the scenes of the two towers in all the movie around the time and do test screenings to see all their reactions tbh, also I hope some of those movies like the first Spiderman movie get an original unedited version with all the cut scenes because the time has passed and not as fresh as it was back then, so yeah

[@marscaleb]

Speaking as someone who was there during all the post 9/11 craze, even at the time I didn't understand why everyone kept pulling every single shot or reference tot he twin towers. It felt to me like they were letting the terrorists win. We all wanted the twin towers there; why were we removing them? If I was in the theater I would have applauded too.

[@Amadeus_A]

That Nose Bleed one, my god. My brain can't even comprehend the sheer amount of unfortunately coincidences that happened. Like, some other things on this list I think the studios were a bit overreacting. But not that one!

[@plutonicattic7995]

[@ChristianFrates1997]

[@chickencurry420]

I read somewhere that the Muppets movie unintentionally establishes that Kermit had something to do with 9/11. Basically, the movie was doing a "It's A Wonderful Life" where Kermit wishes he'd never been born and an angel shows him that all his friends' lives are miserable without him. And in the background of this alternate future where Kermit never existed, the Twin Towers are still standing after 2001. Then when Kermit has his arc and decides life is worth living, he's taken back to his original reality where the Towers are gone now. Likely an editing mistake and nothing more, but within the context of the story without any meta-narrative, Kermit the Frog canonically caused 9/11 to happen.

[@peacefusion]

One thing is removing explosion scenes,another is erasing history. The towers were the best part of NY.

[@JethroLive]

There's also a scene from Spongebob Squarepants that was cut, in the episode "Just One Bite" there's a scene where squidward walks in and a bucket falls down and he says "This is our security system?" Then the Hans comes in with a lit match and drops it on the bucket revealing that it was gasoline and the whole place explodes. This happens twice and both instances got cut

[@begoneheathen2726]

For any fans of manga/anime, in One Piece a certain side character’s death was actually reversed in the story because of his circumstances. He seemingly “died” while carrying a bomb that was planted in a city square away into the sky, but because this was being written around the time 9/11 occurred, the author revealed later that the character survived the explosion. For any who want to read up on it, the character’s name is Pell.

Not so fun fact: In the 2002 film “A Merry Muppet Christmas Movie” Kermit is shown by an angel what the world would be like if he never existed. During this sequence, the twin towers can be seen in the background of a few shots. This has led people to believe that kermit somehow caused 9/11

I felt like Gump and Co was a response to how the movie and book were different. The book even open with Forrest saying not to let someone make a movie about your life, and ends with him getting run out of the film's world premiere. He also outright says that the phrase, "Life is like a box of chocolates," is stupid. He never says it in the book.

[@Theredblood]

I feel that them editing out the towers is WORSE than them leaving them in, like by doing that they try to erase something that is basically their history. If anything they should have kept them in all of those movies because of the attacks, they were some of the more recent media featuring them and being in films like spiderman meant that they would be immortalised and remembered more tightly trough generations.

[@Java_Protogen]

I see your reasoning, but you have to remember, post 9/11, people didn't wanna think about the tragedy; so the towers were edited out to make the movies more likely to be enjoyed by audiences.

[@Theredblood]

@@Java_Protogen i can understand that but i just think it's too drastic of a change, especially since some movies went to the extra step of re-recording scenes just to remove them

As someone who was 2 when the towers fell I was too young to remember a world before 9/11. However I was always confused as to why it was being erased despite being something we should never forgot.

[@howlingzangetsu]

I think they should have released them edited then down the road gave us physical releases that contain both the edited and unedited versions of the films. In this way they give people an edited version that reduces the amount of people who will be reminded of the pain to them personally by being having the towers thrown in their face, while still giving a chance at a less sensitive time the towers immortalized in their films if they make a physical appearance.

The changes for Lilo and Stitch along with the apparent change in Monster's Inc were bettered compared to their originals. For Lilo and Stitch, it showed that Jamba and Pleekly came to Earth with a ship of their own which makes sense and it showed some beautiful Hawaiian topography in place of city buildings. For Monster's Inc, it just made better sense to have the quarantine field and just blowing up the restaurant is counter productive and just way out of nowhere.

It flashes several months later where Barney is thrown off a bus after a big bender. And Homer has to go retrieve his car in New York which happens to be parked between the twin towers. People at the twin towers have clothing lines with clothes drying, arguing with each other, Homer going to use the restroom in one tower only for it to be out so has to hurry to the other tower and misses the guy to take off the boot. Homer has a miserable time and the family enjoys themselves. Homer steals a jack hammer and takes the boot off himself and gets out of New York with an extremely damaged car and super angry.

[@BlueOvals24]

Video games were also impacted by the attacks. GTA 3 got delayed by a month, releasing in October of 2001. They changed the police car paint scheme to look less like NYCPD cars, dialogues were changed, airplane flight paths were changed to go nowhere near skyscrapers, and the cover art was remade for the US release.

[@Blacknight6577]

I knew studio companies made changes and try their best to appeal the people of what happened, but at the same time looking back at it now I feel like they could have assumed people were TOO sensitive when a few of these changes I think were unnecessary.

I absolutely can understand why those movies had to be re-edited or re-shot right after 9/11 but, as someone against compromises in the artistic visions of creators, I wish they'd kept and released the original/unedited versions of the movies. Like, releasing them years after the fact when the memory was less painful and most uninvolved people had moved on. It'd give people the option to see what could've been at the time had there been no tragedy. Also, so sad about some of the movies that were cut.

[@chrism3784]

In the original Super Mario Bros movie, a version of the World Trade Center was Koopa's Castle in The Mushroom Kingdom. It was a darker, worn down looking version of the towers, with spikes sticking out on top. Also I think one of the towers didn't even reach full height. Towards the end of the movie where King Koopa was trying to merge the two worlds together, the regular WTC in New York changed to look like the Koopa Tower version.

Wow. That’s a lot of movies! I remember seeing the Spider-Man teaser in theaters.

[@ozaru90]

Even international cartoons were altered after the attacks. Pokemon had an episode where jellyfish pokemon flooded a city and smashed some buildings. After the attacks, that episode was never again aired on public broadcasting.

[@FireStriker_]

Honestly looking back I don’t think digitally removing the towers was the right move. As someone who was only 2 when the towers fell, 9/11 felt like this subject that we will never forgot but we must never talking about.

[@murrayshekelberg9754]

the average person really didn't care that much. The media tries to say everyone was distraught for a long time, and the sheepish follower types were, or more accurately pretended to be, while in reality for most people life went on and something happening to those rich jerks in new york was no big deal

Independence day could have been a lot worse

[@nekonomicon2983]

I could understand some of them that actually featured the towers but the ones like Monsters Inc is a bit odd to me (even though i agree the force field is more fitting) Basically just change any footage of explosions if you're gonna do all that.

[@smaaron_j_46]

Well, an entire building did blow up in that original scene, so I think I can see why

[@hedwyn8803]

Thank you for including captions like you would for shortform content! Most videos on KZbin forgo them and the auto-generated captions are not always so great ^^

5:32 a quote that couldnt have aged worse, in so short a period of time.

[@samiamtheman7379]

A lot of movies taking place in New York also wiped the Twin Towers from the NYC skyline, occasionally to mixed results. One example being when The Muppets did an adaptation of It's a Wonderful Life where Kermit sees a world where he was never born and they forgot to remove the towers in a shot, implying that if Kermit the Frog was never born, then 9/11 would never have happened.

[@CarlosAlbertoGarcíaJiménez]

That reminded me that Martin Scorsese did everything he could to not remove the Twin Towers in the final shot of Gangs of New York.

[@bologna9204]

Ok so, I understand removing the buildings or not releasing a movie because the plot would have a violent act similar to what we all experienced in this country on that day. BUT, and yes, there is always a but. If the buildings are JUST in the background and have nothing to do with the plot at ALL. Then I see no problem with that. HOWEVER, and yes there is a however to my but. I heavily respect the families and friends of the people that died on that terrible day so I understand that as well. You wouldn’t want someone seeing the buildings and immediately get depressed because they had a loved one there. Have a great one guys and gals.

[@Sahir_Here]

Spiderman could have been a very aesthetic movie if the twin towers weren't attacked 😢

[@Gadget-Walkmen]

They shouldn’t have edited out the towers PERIOD even with 9/11 happening. Editing some of these movies are just thoughtless paranoia.

[@Sahir_Here]

@@Gadget-Walkmen It's better for them to include it because people will only focus on a tower that symbolizes the attacks and not Spiderman and the storyline

[@Gadget-Walkmen]

@@Sahir_Here based on your argument, you mean NOT TO include it, right? I can see what you mean tho!

[@Sahir_Here]

@@Gadget-Walkmen yeah mb, thanks for the correction lol

[@Krypto1201]

Fun fact. There’s a comic where Peter Parker shows up to 9/11 LATE, and everyone was asking why he wasn’t there….Marvel doesn’t give him a break

[@saul-goodman]

Censorship is dumb

[@kingdeespadas]

PRC 😉

[@dearthofdoohickeys4703]

I get why they did it but I think it was a mistake removing the towers. History shouldn’t be erased, even when it’s painful.

[@icepug6311]

He forgot about the Muppets Christmas movie where Kermit sees his life if he wasn't born, and apparently him not existing undid the attacks

[@bakacdaz]

2:32 I can imagine the timeline that The Incident never happened and Matt Patt going to make Film Theory about how deadly if the real plane crashing in to the building. Too bad we already has IRL version of it instead.

[@hisaceinthehole3426]

9 - eleven, was the beginning of the end in many ways for this great country.

Thank you, I will be hanging this comment up on my fridge

That dome scene in Monsters Inc always felt weird to me I guess this is why

[@Code20732]

20 years later, people now joke about that day like nothing happened.

I love this video but I can't unsee his head bobbing from one side to the other like a TikTok video while he's narrating the video

[@CaptainUnikitty]

The attack had a big effect on my parents and I’m still hearing new things about it (they got stuck in another country for a long time) Seeing all the media that had to be changed or shelved for good is something interesting. Especially the one SpongeBob episode. Even if it’s been years now it still had effect a generation and people (what is upsetting is when people joke about it and don’t seem to understand what really happened)

[@charizards2009]

A pokemon episode didn't release for a while in America because it had a pokemon destroying tall buildings.

[@yappaplay]

The explosion was in poor taste even before the 9/11 incident. Why would they blow up the restaurant over this?! I’m glad they change it to a decontamination dome thing. It feel more in check with sanitising all human contacts without the idea of having to blow things up in fire.

[@jep9092]

I would have still loved to see that Jackie Chan movie They can literally just add a singular scene in the beginning where it explains some sort of interdimensional time travel or something

[@giboit.]

I think that the biggest example of how 9/11 affected the movie industry is when you compare movies like Independence day and War of the worlds. The way both movies treat an alien invasion is like day and night. In independence day you see things like the army making jokes and a huge amount of monuments getting destroyed. While in war of the worlds the invasion is shown to be an incredibly terrifying event with a lot of people dying in a matter of seconds and the army is portrayed in a very different way too.

[@carlthelongshoreman1979]

Damn you are dense, those movies we’re not affected by 9/11. War of the worlds was a horror movie about an invasion you can’t stop. Independence Day was an action thriller

[@giboit.]

@@carlthelongshoreman1979 That literally doesn't make any sense dude. It doesn't matter if the movies are a different genre. The whole point is that the way movies portrayed the death of civilians and the destruction of monuments is completely different after 9/11. Also, calling me dense is just rude. But I guess it's to be expected from someone that can't even get the point of the comment.

[@carlthelongshoreman1979]

@@giboit. once again war of the worlds was not changed due to 9/11, it was a BOOK adaptation. It had nothing to do with 9/11

[@giboit.]

@@carlthelongshoreman1979 Who said it was changed? Lmao. I'm not saying that War of the world was changed because of 9/11. I'm saying that the portrayal of massive destruction, death of civilians change significantly in movies after 9/11. Which is very clear when you see the way movies like independence day and war of the worlds portray those themes.

[@carlthelongshoreman1979]

@@giboit. you did! you said "i think the biggest example of how 9/11 affected the movie industry" that means CHANGED! so again 9/11 did not effect war of the worlds
