Okay I was watching Hotel Transylvania 2 tonight on Netflix and I swear they edited out a line of dialogue.
Said edit came during a scene where Drac and Mavis are watching Dennis’s favorite show, “Cakey the Cake Monster” (basically a Cookie Monster parody).
In the original theatrical version of this scene Cakey is sharing a cake with his friend Wuzzlumplebum and Cakey says “Slow down Wuzzlumplebum. You don’t want to get diabetes!” (Or at least that’s how I best remember it). However in the Netflix version of the movie the diabetes line is cut out and replaced with laughing from Cakey. You can even tell it’s dubbed over because the voice is out of sync with the animation.
I swear, I did not imagine the theatrical version of this scene, I remember watching this scene in theaters and hearing people laughing it up when that line was spoken. What happened here, why was this joke edited out?
Did people send complaints to Sony about the joke? Was there some mini-controversy I wasn’t aware of? Did someone at Sony Home Entertainment just get cold feet about including the original line? Is the original dialogue still present on the DVD/Blu-ray release of the movie and it was just the Netflix version that got edited? What’s going on here?
I remember the same thing where a few of scenes in the Lorax had nuns.
In fact, you can see that some are still there.
Even in Zootopia, saw it twice in theaters and the first time Judy was laughing in this scene.
As you can hear, she didn’t laugh. That’s what I saw the second time with the addition of this.
What in the world? It’s almost surreal in a way. Like an episode from the Twilight Zone.
