Which version is currently streaming on Netflix?
Saw that ET is now avail on Netflix streaming. Which version is it? Anyone know?
sharePretty sure it's the original. No CG ET, no guns turned into radios. It's the version I remember seeing in the theater as a kid.
Whores will have their trinkets.
Wait, what? They made a CG ET 2? :(

For the 20th Anniversary, Spielberg had some CGI applied to E.T. because he thought some of the original puppetry wasn't up to snuff.
shareWow. I need to find video clips of these changes. I thought he only changed the guns to walkie talkies.

The ending is an example of the CGI changes. Most notably when E.T. sticks his finger to Elliot, E.T. picking up the flower pot, etc. CGI is applied to his finger and face.

Here's also a link that shows screencap comparisons between the original E.T. puppet and the CGI-enhanced puppet.
