Proto:The Curse of Monkey Island/Cutscene Differences
This is a sub-page of Proto:The Curse of Monkey Island.
The demo version of The Curse of Monkey Island contains two truncated cutscenes which are different from the final release.
Opening
| Demo | Final |
|---|---|
 |
 |
The music is different in the demo. The map is clearer and its top-right corner is folded. It quickly cuts to a view of Monkey Island. In the final version, the map is more blurry and stretched. It's animated to get swept away by the wind.
| Demo | Final |

 |
In the demo, the subtitles are large and yellow. In the final version, clouds were added and the subtitles are white and no longer hardcoded. Monkey Island has a murkier color palette.

Clouds were added and Guybrush was brightened in the final version. The bumper car's shadow was reduced and Guybrush is closer to the viewer.

Guybrush is much clearer in the demo version. In the final, water effects (and video artifacts) were added. The bumper car was animated to bob up and down. The sky was changed from blue to green.

Guybrush's doodles can be plainly seen in the demo. His hand was given a shadow and water effects were added in the final version. The scene was zoomed in a bit.

LeChuck's eyes were changed from yellow/blue to a much beadier black/yellow. His teeth became less gnarly, some wrinkles were removed, and his beard was expanded. The background was changed to a solid color.

The soldiers' silhouettes are darker in the demo. The outlines of their faces and arms can be seen in the final.

The color palette for the ship scene is noticeably darkened in the final version. The cloud highlights and the light near the skull were removed. LeChuck's hand was placed behind the belaying pin. The small rip in the sail was changed.

The skeletal steps in the background and one light on the taffrail were removed.

A very small change was made to Guybrush's eyes. A wood-chip was added to the hold.

The background was changed to more obviously resemble a fort wall. A small part of the bush was color-corrected to become the sky.
From there, the dialogue skips to "Throw him in the hold, I'll finish him after the battle" and the player gains control of Guybrush.
Ending
After an in-game animation of Guybrush crashing through a door, the ending cutscene plays.

The last scene is demon LeChuck saying "Get them" along with a "COMING SOON." His pupils were removed in the final version and the shadows in his beard were changed to yellow.
