    Amazon’s Abridged “It’s a Wonderful Life” Removes Crucial Scene

    We’re not sure how to tell you this, but one of the largest streaming houses out there has made a very, very strange choice. Edits to films from a different era are nothing new, but for one iconic seasonal classic, we’re just over here scratching our heads. Frank Capra‘s “It’s a Wonderful Life” is more than just a take on Charles Dickens‘ “A Christmas Carol,” it’s a beautiful film about so much more. And apparently, one of it’s crucial scenes that sort of make or break the entire story has been removed on Prime Video.

    Our attention was drawn to this by Germain Lussier (Io9, Gizmodo) tweeting about it. Apparently, the ENTIRE POTTERVILLE SCENE, in which George (Jimmy Stewart) sees what life would be like if he were never born, is missing.

    How?

    HOW can THAT pivotal scene be removed?! And for what reason?!

    We’ll let you know if Amazon comments, or restores the version. And please allow us to remind you of why physical media is so important in this day and age of cloud storage and streaming.

    If you’re curious, you can watch the abridged version, WHICH ISN’T LABELED AS SUCH, is available on Prime Video here.

    If you want to know what’s wrong with the world, Prime Video has an “abridged” version of It’s a Wonderful Life that removes THE ENTIRE POTTERSVILLE SCENE where George sees life if he wasn’t born.

    That’s all that abridged. The best most crucial part of the movie. Just. Wow. pic.twitter.com/H8Z82lGk9X

    Mary Anne Butler (Mab) has been part of the fast-paced world of journalism since she was 15, getting her start in album reviews and live concert coverage for a nationally published (print) music magazine. She eventually transitioned to online media, writing for such sites as UGO/IGN, ComicsOnline, Geek Magazine, Ace of Geeks, Aggressive Comix (where she is still Editor-in-Chief), Bleeding Cool (where she was News Editor), and now Nerdbot as Editor-In-Chief. Over the past 10 years, she’s built a reputation at conventions across the globe as a cosplayer (occasionally), photographer (constantly), panelist and moderator (mostly), and reporter (always). Interviews, reviews, observations, breaking news, and objective reporting are the name of the game for the founder of Harkonnen Knife Fight, a Dune-themed band with an international presence. Though she be but little, she is fierce.
