The theatrical cut of Disney's Aladdin has never been released, has it?

I only learned about this one last night, after it was mentioned in a documentary.  Apparently it hasn't, although there are a few people claiming on YouTube that they have the original versions on VHS. If that's the case, they could be early releases or pirate copies produced during the theatrical run.

Other films...

Minority Report's theatrical release contained an English subtitle translation of Peter Stormare's Swedish dialogue where he demands that his assistant Greta, "get the hell out of there, wipe your ass, hurry up!" The translation was removed for the home video versions and TV broadcasts. 

Continuing with Spielberg, the theatrical version of Last Crusade allegedly had Julian Glover say, "Precious valuables, your highness. Donated by some of the finest Jewish families in all of Germany." All subsequent versions have omitted the Jewish reference. If anyone who saw LC during the theatrical run can confirm the veracity, I'd appreciate it because this has been disputed for years.
