On July 18, 2015, producer David Siller posted a YouTube video depicting never-before-seen versions of the game's intro and ending which were traditionally animated rather than rendered in-game. The former cutscene features a theme song performed by prolific voice actor Jim Cummings, though both the melody and the reprise in the ending are stock music.

In the video's description, Siller stated that these sequences were commissioned by Universal early into development and animated by regular collaborator AKOM in South Korea. However, when Sony was given publishing rights, they demanded that the animations be scrapped in order to better emphasize the PlayStation's 3D graphics. Additionally, Siller stated in the comments section that Universal considered making multimedia adaptations if the game was successful enough, including an animated series based on the scrapped cutscenes and a theme park ride. However, these plans were also abandoned by the time Sony got involved.
