Line 1:
{{trope}}
Examples of [[{{TOPLEVELPAGE}}]] in [[{{SUBPAGENAME}}]] include:
* ''[[Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs (Disney)|Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs]]'' (1937): While the dwarfs are washing up, Dopey accidentally swallows a bar of soap. This was originally resolved in the very next scene, but that scene was cut during production.▼
▲* ''[[Snow White and
** If you pay close attention to the Queen's scenes after learning of the Huntsman's failure to kill Snow White, you'll notice that she doesn't interact with the Huntsman once before she dies, which means the Huntsman lives to see the end of the film, thus making it a subversion. And in case that doesn't make it clear enough, the [[Screen to Stage Adaptation]] at Radio City Music Hall in 1979 had an original scene where he and the Prince reported to the King that Snow White was still alive. He's ''extremely'' lucky that the Queen decided to get rid of Snow White straight away instead of punishing him first. That ''does'' happen in the [[Perspective Flip]] novel ''Fairest of Them All'' -- she stabs him with a knife (and the red blood gives her the idea to use a poisoned apple on Snow White) -- but it's unclear whether he dies of this wound or not, so ''that'' would qualify as a straight example of this trope.
* Happened with the American cut of ''[[The Thief and
** While Princess Yum Yum is bathing, the Thief steals her back scratcher. In the American version nothing comes of it. In the original version, the Thief steals two back scratchers and uses them to escape having his hands cut off.
** While Tack and Yum Yum are consulting the Witch, the Thief is trying to get a giant ruby on a tower by flying with palm frond wings. He ends up crashing into the Witch. But since the American version eliminates nearly all the footage of the Witch, the Thief's fate is left literally up in the air.
** The American Version cuts out the Mighty One-Eye's death and even has him still alive when his machine collapses, because in the background you can hear him say "MY MACHINE!" But Tack later says "King One Eye was defeated for all eternity", which could only happen if he was dead... I guess we'll assume he was on top of his machine as it burned, and was trapped with no way out and burned to death.
** There is also a literal example: Early in the film, Tack is seen feeding a mouse while he's imprisoned, and we later see that he's sneaked the mouse out with him when he escaped (these shots are present in all versions of the film). While it's never seen again in the edits, in the original cut he removes the mouse from his pocket and gives it to YumYum before he goes to face One-Eye's army.
* In ''[[
* ''[[Lilo and Stitch]] (2002)'' begins with Lilo feeding Pudge, a fish she claims controls the weather. He's never mentioned again, outside of two deleted scenes: one where he's killed by seagulls, and Stitch [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LxmT-zQc1GQ/ accidentally kills him.] He does make a proper reappearance in [[Recycled:
** Plus, you can see Pudge swimming by with a sandwich in Lilo's first scene.
* In ''[[The Rescuers (Disney film)|The Rescuers Down Under]]'' (1990), Wilbur's mouse plot is resolved before the credits, but no second thought is given to saving everybody back at McLeach's hideout.
* Likewise in ''[[Pinocchio (Disney film)|Pinocchio]]'' (1940) no second thought is apparently given to save the boys on Pleasure Island or asking the fairy to restore their humanity.
* ''[[The Incredibles]]'' (2004): Mirage is last seen helping the Parrs reach the [[Crush! Kill! Destroy!|OmniDroid]] in time to stop it before disappearing for the rest of the story.
** In the comic series, Mirage appears to have avoided severe punishment for her role in Syndrome's plans and now works as one of Rick Dicker's NSA agents. She and a reluctant Elastigirl agree to work together to investigate the disappearance of the Eiffel Tower in relation to Xerek.
* In ''[[Titanic:
** The uncut version heavily implies that they died together on the ship. The last they're seen, Winnie refuses to get on the lifeboats and insists on staying with McFlannel, even though he asks her not to "sacrifice [herself] for [him]".
* At the end of ''[[Shrek]] 2'' (2004), after ''part of'' the credits, we see Donkey's children. He had six, one red Dronkey. She never appears in the third movie. She was the most popular for merchandise too.
Line 21 ⟶ 23:
** Or, on a more sinister note, the other ships are all still cruising the Kuiper Belt, as their [[AUT Os]] believe they have no reason to return to Earth.
* ''The Tale of Despereaux'' (2008). What the hell happened to the weird guy made out of fruits and vegetables after Despereaux left him to rescue the princess? Did the rats eat him? Was he just left there to rot? Or was he just a part of the chef and mouses' collective imagination?
* In the animated adaptation of ''[[
* In Disney's ''[[The Princess and
** Apparently, Stella was originally going to part of a sub-plot, but it was dropped as the directors thought that there'd be too many talking animals in the film.
* In ''Duck And Cover'', the monkey with the firecracker seems to be a suicide bomber, since he's nowhere to be seen after the explosion and the tree is destroyed. Either he jumped away at the last minute or there are several monkeys.
Line 31 ⟶ 33:
* Turaga Dume in ''[[Bionicle]] 2: Legends of Metru Nui'' was found comatose inside a pod by the Toa. They said they would return to rescue him later. He is never seen or heard of after that, even when all the Matoran trapped inside their pods have been freed. They planned to tell his tale in an exclusive story, but later claimed that [[Ass Pull|his pod simply malfunctioned when we weren't looking, and he got free]].
** It would've been solved if they hadn't skipped the last three parts (and the trip from Metru Nui to Mata Nui with all the Matoran pods) of the story in between the Glatorian saga and the Visorak saga, right before the six matoran of Mata Nui (The Island) left for Voya Nui that Turaga Dume stayed in Metru Nui to prepare it for the eventual return of the Matoran. Another Mouse that Needs explaining is the one Matoran Pod that was lost and last seen being opened by Makuta.
* During Mushu's introductory scene from ''[[
** It does get referenced - very briefly. When Mushu is being thanked by Mulan, the Great Ancestor shouts, "Mushu!!" Perhaps he noticed the pile of rubble in the garden where The Great Stone Dragon used to be?
* Toward the end of ''[[The Jungle Book (Disney film)|The Jungle Book]]'' (1967), Bagheera can be seen persuading several elephants to help him and Baloo find Mowgli before Shere Khan does. The elephants then all march off with Bagheera, but even though Bagheera comes back after Mowgli defeats Khan with the help of Baloo and some vultures, the elephants do not.
* Those three bimbettes from ''[[Beauty and
* In Disney's ''[[Robin Hood (Disney film)|Robin Hood]]'' (1973), both Maid Marian and Lady Cluck are active participants in the riot following the archery contest and the following [["The Villain Sucks" Song]], for which Prince John has the whole town thrown in jail. However, Marian and Cluck are not among the prisoners, nor are they seen during the Jailbreak scene which ends with the castle (her residence) being set on fire.
** They do however return at the end of the film when Robin Hood and Maid Marian wed.
** The original ending would have given Marian more of a role in the ending. {{spoiler|Prince John would have stabbed Robin Hood and chased him into a church, where Marian also was hiding. While Robin Hood is lying on the ground, Prince John proceeds to threaten Marian, until King Richard shows up to save the day.}} It's possible that when that ending was cut, there wasn't a chance to give her a proper appearance until the wedding.
* Throughout the entire film, the villainous owl from ''[[Rock
* According to the first ''[[
* In ''[[Finding Nemo]]'' (2003), after Nemo manages to escape into the sewers, it pans up ominously to show that he's headed into a sewage treatment plant. The plant never actually comes up again in any capacity, and the next we see of Nemo, he pops out of a pipe and ends up safely back in the ocean.
** The script originally contained a scene explaining how Nemo survived his trip through the plant, but it was cut. The ominous shot of the plant was probably a set-up for the (apparently rather harrowing) deleted scene.
Line 45 ⟶ 47:
** His backstory ''was'' mentioned in a deleted scene, not unlike the ''Lilo and Stitch'' example.
** Better examples are Sarabi's disappearance in ''Simba's Pride'' (1998). You could argue that she wasn't really popular enough or [[Author Existence Failure|her voice actress died]] and a replacement wouldn't sound suitable. As well as in ''Simba's Pride'' near the middle of the film as Simba teaches Kiara a lesson, a baby African Pygmy Kingfisher is seen trying to fly from its nest only to be stopped by its mother. It disappears without explanation.
* At the end of ''[[Sleeping Beauty (Disney film)|Sleeping Beauty]]'' (1959), it's never explained what happened to the goons after [[Big Bad|Maleficent]] [[One-Winged Angel|turned into]] [[Scaled Up|a dragon]] and was later killed by Prince Phillip and the fairies while she is still in her dragon form.
* In ''[http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/videolinks/ir/marzgurl/reviews/31283-translation-terrors-of-ali-baba-a-the-gold-raiders Ali Baba & The Gold Raiders]'', Ali Baba's brother disappears from the story once the Gold Raiders come back and find him in their cave. It should be pointed out that in the original story the Forty Thieves killed him, so it seems the writers just couldn't be bothered to think of a way to write him back in aside from Ali Baba returning with a large sack he didn't have when he left, hinting at his collecting his brother's remains.
* ''[[Cars|Cars2]]'' (2011) is apparently about Lightning McQueen competing in a race taking place in different cities around the world while his friend Mater is recruited as a spy so that he can help British agent Finn McMissile fight an evil organization of villainous, beaten-up cars. However, during the last third of the film, which takes place in London, England, the race McQueen is participating in is mysteriously interrupted by the conflict between Mater and McMissile and the Lemons, and as a result the race in particular is never brought up again after that.
** It's implied that the big race in {{spoiler|Radiator Springs}} is the 'replacement' final round of the Grand Prix.
* In ''[[A Bug's Life
* Sylvia from the Direct-to-VHS movie, ''[[An Extremely Goofy Movie]]'' (2000). She doesn't pop up outside of that film or is mentioned - even Roxanne from the first movie popped up in ''[[House of Mouse]]''. It may be [[Justified]] by the [[
* [[Happy Feet]]: In its sequel, the last time we see Sven is {{spoiler|when it's revealed he is a puffin, not a penguin, and is a complete joke}}, what happens to him afterwards {{spoiler|other than helping dance the iceberg to bits}} is not explained.
