Am I the only one who actually enjoys the Original Ending? ***SPOILERS***

Not just the filmmakers, but the actors themselves, including Rick Moranis, have gone on record as saying they preferred the original ending as well.

Heck I was a teen when the original movie came out. I heard about the 'real' ending, but never knew about the Play, nor ever saw the 'real' ending until recently and on the Blu Ray we got Christmas 2014. I loved the movie like it was years ago... but heck, I love the 'real' ending even better! Yeah, the main cast gets eaten... but it's still so 'silly' about the plants taking over the world while they do it, and I love that end song and seeing ALL the other people with other plants and the idea of OTHER people feeding their NEIGHBORS and what not to all THEIR plants incognito etc. etc. It just makes the movie much deeper than the theatrical ending. And the original ending sort of leaves it on a cliff hanger... I mean the things are plants and we see the military STILL trying to simply SHOOT the things... they need flame throwers! It's a PLANT burn the things! But, the whole real ending really takes it OUT of Skid Row and really SHOWS what the narrator was talking about at the VERY BEGGING how 'we' nearly faced extinction! EXTINCTION is the key! Which means, the plants somehow ARE "taken care of" if the human race DID survive! That's what'd I'd like to see actually. Both endings are good, but the 'real' ending wins hands down now that I've FINALLY seen it! We used to play Mean Green Mother in the stands in High School and our flugelhorn player would sing the words!! Simple SIMPLE stand song. Fun times... a long long time ago... (sigh).
