If there's already a topic for this, please let me know ASAP.

Anyways, this topic's pretty much dedicated to most/least favorite deleted scenes from Disney movies.

Most favorite: Poor Unfortunate Souls: Extended Version (The Little Mermaid), Be Prepared Reprise (The Lion King)

Least Favorite: Dog Fight in Vegas (Bolt)

Most Favorite: Married Life: Alternate Scenes


Least Favorite: Bug Football (The Lion King)

Most Favorite: This version of Can You Feel the Love Tonight?

Least Favorite: This version (starts at 0:44) of Can You Feel the Love Tonight?

I also enjoy the deleted scenes from Lion King 2 cause they're kinda dark

Favorite Deleted Scenes. I'm a stickler for big changes, so I guess the deleted songs from Alice In Wonderland would count. Not actual scenes, though, but they're fascinating deletions.

I also enjoyed some of the scenes from Toy Story and Toy Story Two.

Woody: Gheppetto, look! I'm a Real Boy!

And I suppose Ratatouille. Specifically, that really long shot.

I did love the deleted opening section from The Incredibles.

I just like Deleted Scenes.

Oh, and the Rats/Elephants history that was cut from Dumbo. That was kinda funny.

Can't really make a call as I don't own enough DVDs or Blu-rays to have access to deleted scenes. I have quite a few Lilo and Stitch deleted scenes that aren't even on the DVD, as they came from a friend of mine, and they were cut before major story changes (Stitch used to have a posse).

Of the Lilo and Stitch deleted scenes on the DVD, I like when Stitch kills Pudge, it makes me laugh.

Well, I never found it funny.

I was actually pretty shocked when I saw that one. I can see why they took it out but I really wish they'd left it in. I think it explains a lot about who Lilo is as a character and shows how Stitch begins to understand the loss of Lilo's parents and the value of life, something he'd never had exposure to.

Actually, I like the original chase scene in Lilo and Stitch, even better than the ultimately more sensible version that's in the film.

I love the deleted song 'Keep 'em guessing' from Mulan, the song that was supposed to introduce Mushu. I wish they had let that in. I also like 'Humiliate the boy' from Aladdin, sung by Jonathan Freeman, but it couldn't be in the final version of the film.

Of course I love the alternate version of "Poor Unfortunate Souls." More Carroll, more goodness. But I also liked how it was divided into three, and I think that would've cleverly linked with the number 3 in the movie.

It's hard to remember deleted scenes right off. But, from memory, I know I disliked just about all those deleted from Pocahontas. Even the "If I Never Knew You" scene was horrible, and it has the love theme to support it! Sad.

My favorites would have to be "As Long As There's A Moon" from The Hunchback of Notre Dame and "Beyond the Laughing Sky" from Alice in Wonderland (okay, this one's not really deleted, just moved and altered, but still). Both songs are fantastic, though I understand leaving Hunchback's song in would've absolutely killed the building tension. Alice's, however, should've been left in. It's a prettier, more wistful, and more melodious song than "In A World of My Own." I realize they found it too similar to "Over the Rainbow" and that Kathryn' Beaumonts voice wasn't up to snuff, but I think it would've made Alice as a character a tad more sympathetic.

As for least favorites, Sleeping Beauty's "I Happen to Have A Picture" is flat-out boring in either version and would've been a bad way to open the film. Also, some of the original lyrics to "Colors of the Wind" are painful, and Alice in Wonderland's "So They Say" is syrupy to the point of nauseum.

It's funny how I only listed songs. I guess Disney's deleted dialogue sequences don't do much for me one way or another.

I love the alternate ending to The Little Mermaid, where Ariel comes singing to Eric. I love that ending, showcasing Jodi's beautiful vocals!!

I disagree.

I like the deleted scenes in Pocahontas, particularly "In the Middle of the River", the scene where Percy talks and mets Redfeather the turkey, the bit where Pocahontas is made to look like an Englishwoman and even "If I Never Knew You" (even though it's not really "deleted" anymore, since they put it back into the film).

I really liked "Dancing on a Cloud" from Cinderella. I think the melody and lyrics were much more interesting than "So This is Love", but I can see why it was cut.

I really don't like any of the deleted Jungle Book songs. They're boring bland not very interesting. They were also a little too grim. The movie songs much better told the story.

I like the deleted ending of the Lion King. I find it much better ending than the actual one. Zira's original death sequence from Lion King II was pretty crazy too.

I like Someday from HoND. God help the outcast is good song too, but I like Someday better. The melody is better imo.

Cinderella's work song is catchy and reminds me of the similar song in Disney's Babes in Toyland.

Like goliath said, Mushu's song was catchy. I found it much better song than A girl worth fight for.


I'm just listing ones I like so far since I haven't seen all of them to make full judgement of least fav or most fav.

That reminds me that I loved "The Dress That My Mother Wore" song. But I can understand why it never made it into the movie, mostly because it's hard to think of where it could be placed.

My favorite? The Be Prepared reprise.

Least favorite.....hmm......Dunno.

I forgot to mention the deleted scenes from Jungle Book. I'm fascinated by them, and wonder how a 'darker' version of the story, as was originally intended, would have turned out.

I dislike the deleted ending of Tarzan, with the explosions and gunfights on the riverboat. I'm glad they cut that.

Yo is there a youtube video where I can view these two deleted songs? I can't find any video on it

I really liked all the deleted songs from Cinderella, except "The Mouse Song". I wish they kept in "The Dress My Mother Wore," "I Lost My Heart at the Ball," and "The Face That I See in the Night".

I like the alternate version of "Fathoms Below" that explained how Ursula was King Triton's sister. I also like the extended version of "Poor Unfortunate Souls," but it would have made the sequence a little too long.
