Buzz Feed22-03-2025

1. The original opening scene for The Incredibles took place at a neighborhood barbecue where Bob accidentally chops off his own fingers and doesn't feel a thing, which reveals that he's a superhero.
2. There was a deleted scene from Lilo & Stitch that showed Lilo trying to get racist tourists off of the beach.
In the scene, Lilo and Stitch were on their way to the beach when they ran into several tourists. One looked at Lilo and yelled, "Speak English?" Soon after, another one shouted about her, "Oh look, a real native!"
Lilo and Stitch decided to trick everyone. They knew that the sirens at the beach were due for a test run that day, so they warned the tourists of the "big, hundred-foot waves" that were coming and told everyone that they should leave the beach.
Then Lilo yelled, "Tourists, prepare to die!" Seconds later, the siren went off, and the tourists left the beach in a panic. After all the tourists had left, Lilo said, "If you lived here, you'd understand."

3. There was also a deleted scene were Lilo's best friend Pudge the fish is killed.
In this dark scene, Lilo and Pudge are viciously attacked by seagulls while Stitch just laughs and watches. Lilo then buries her pet next to her parents' graves.
4. There was a deleted scene in E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial where E.T. watches Elliot's mom sleep in the nude. This scene has never seen the light of day.
5. Shan Yu massacred an entire village in Mulan in a cut scene from the movie.
The film shows the aftermath of the Huns' attack, but in this scene, Shan Yu destroys the village, and even kills one of his own henchmen.
6. A kiss between Daphne and Velma was cut from the live action Scooby-Doo movie.
During the scene where all the character's protoplasm are in the wrong bodies, the original solution to get them back in the right bodies was a kiss between Daphne and Velma. Sarah Michelle Gellar and Linda Cardellini confirmed they filmed a kiss for the movie.
7. In an interview, the film's editor, Kent Beyda, revealed that there were several cut scenes in which Velma showed romantic interest in Daphne. One of these scenes showed Velma seemingly drunk and singing "You're Too Good to Be True" to both Daphne and Fred.
8. Another scene from Scooby-Doo was cut where Daphne and Fred are talking and she implied that she faked orgasms while they were dating.
Beyda said there was a scene where Daphne and Fred had adjoining rooms and Fred attempted to spend the night with her so she wouldn't be scared. Daphne said that she was always just pretending to be scared and that it wasn't the only thing she faked in their relationship.
9. In another deleted scene from the film, Shaggy and Scooby ogle Mary Jane's breasts while on the ride to Spooky Island.
10. In the original plot for Toy Story, there was a scene where Woody pushed Buzz out of Andy's bedroom window because he was jealous that Buzz might be taken to Pizza Planet over him.
Toy Story's creators showed the reel with this footage to studio executives. The executives were so horrified by this scene that it caused creators to re-think Toy Story completely.
11. In Frozen, a scene was cut where Elsa takes on the villain role and tortures two guards.
12. Geppetto contemplating eating his pet fish Cleo in Pinocchio was cut from the film.
13. A scene of Lightning McQueen getting lost in a car graveyard in Cars never made it to the big screen. The haunting scene showed Lightning surrounded by tons of dead cars.
14. There was a cut scene in Zootopia where Nick and Judy ended up at a "Taming Party."
The scene would've shown animals being given shock collars and getting zapped every time they showed too much emotion. This was determined to be to harsh for the final cut of the film.
15. An adult joke in an early cut of The Santa Clause ended up being removed from the film.
Scott made a joke about Neil's mom's number being "1-800-SPANK-ME. This number actually was the number for lines that lead to adult content, and there were concerns that this joke would lead to children dialing up the number in real life.
16. In Home Alone, a scene was deleted where Kevin's uncle pantsed him.
17. In the tunnel scene in Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory, there's a deleted scene where a chicken being decapitated was shown.
18. In Back to the Future, there's a deleted scene where Marty worries he will be gay in the future.
19. There was originally a scene in The Lion King that showed Scar was the reason Nala went out into the jungle to convince Simba to come back.
In the scene, Scar tries to force Nala to marry him. He tells her,"You know, you really have no choice. I always get what I want."
20. And finally, there was an alternate ending of The Lion King that was much darker than the original one.
In the alternate ending, Scar would win the fight with Simba and throw him off of the rock. Simba would've survived the fall, but Scar would believe Simba to be dead. The flames on the Pride Rock would draw closer to Scar until they burn him alive. Disney producers didn't want to go with this ending because they felt it was a tad too horrific.

5 best new movies to stream this weekend on Netflix, Max, Disney Plus, and more (June 14-15)

Wondering what you should watch this weekend? Every week, the best streaming services roll out a fresh slate of new movies to beat the heat, but figuring out which ones are worth your precious streaming time is harder than you'd think. That's why we're rounding up all the best new movies on streaming to help make that decision an easy one. Leading the pack this week is Disney's latest live-action remake, "Snow White" on Disney Plus. Thriller fans are eating good this week. Apple Plus just got "Echo Valley," a riveting mother-daughter drama starring Julianne Moore and Sydney Sweeney. You can also find the Daisey Ridley-led "Die Hard" clone "Cleaner" on Max or, if you prefer a healthy dose of absurdity with your high-octane action, Prime Video just got "Deep Cover." Finally, this week Netflix got one of my favorite Gerard Butler movies, the fast-paced thriller "Plane." So without further ado, let's dive into all the best new movies on streaming to watch this weekend. Love 'em or hate 'em, Disney shows no signs of slowing down with cranking out live-action remakes. Its latest, "Snow White," has been mired in controversy since its announcement, and unfortunately, the film doesn't offer much to overshadow that noise. To its credit, it's more watchable than some of the other Disney remakes, and there are a few new songs added into the mix for fans of the original. Those curious about all the chatter can now check out "Snow White" on Disney Plus from the comfort of their own couch. Rachel Zegler takes on the role of the titular princess, who is banished from her kingdom by her ruthless stepmother, played by Gal Gadot. To reclaim her rightful place on the throne, she teams up with a group of magical beings and a bandit leader (Andrew Burnap) to challenge the evil Queen and restore peace to the realm. Watch it now on Disney Plus Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. "Echo Valley" is part slow-burn thriller, part tightly coiled mother-daughter drama grounded by masterclass performances from its two leads, Julianne Moore and Sydney Sweeney. It follows grieving horse trainer Kate Garrett (Moore), whose peaceful life on a secluded Pennsylvania farm is shattered when her estranged daughter Claire (Sweeney) arrives late one night covered in blood that is not her own. Claire claims she got in a fight with her boyfriend, but as details emerge, Kate is forced into a devastating moral crossroads. Written by "Mare of Easttown's" Brad Ingelsby, "Echo Valley" treads similarly gritty ground, offering a tense, emotionally charged descent into moral ambiguity. Watch it now on Apple TV Plus In the mood for something lighter? Prime Video just got a hilarious new action comedy that puts three improv performers — Bryce Dallas Howard, Orlando Bloom, and Nick Mohammed — in a precarious predicament. An undercover cop (Sean Bean) recruits the trio to infiltrate London's criminal underworld by pretending to be the very criminals they've only ever played on stage. Their new gig spirals out of control faster than you can say "zip, zap, zop!" While its action sequences aren't all that exciting, the sharp writing and hilarious performances in "Deep Cover" offer plenty of laughs. Orlando Bloom, in particular, is a hoot as a "serious" actor overly committed to the role of playing the group's muscle, come hell or high water. Watch it now on Prime Video Legendary James Bond director Martin Campbell returns with a "Die Hard"-style action thriller led by "Star Wars" actress Daisy Ridley. Though it wears its inspiration on its sleeve, "Cleaner" still delivers a fast-paced and entertaining ride with plenty of nerve-jangling aerial stunts to keep you on the edge of your seat. "Cleaner" kicks off when a group of radical activists storm an energy company's annual gala, taking 300 hostages in a bold attempt to expose corporate corruption. Fortunately for the guests trapped inside, an ex-soldier turned window cleaner (Ridley) just happens to be on the scene, albeit suspended 50 floors up, when the chaos erupts. Channeling her inner Bruce Willis, she springs into action in a desperate fight to save the day. Watch it now on Max One of my favorite Gerard Butler movies, "Plane," just arrived on Netflix, and it's already crash-landed in the streamer's top 10 list. In this high-octane action thriller, Butler stars as commercial airline pilot Brodie Torrance, who's hoping to wrap up one last flight before reuniting with his daughter. But when a violent storm strikes mid-flight and a lightning bolt knocks out the plane's avionics, Torrance is forced to make an emergency landing. Though he gets the plane down safely, he realizes too late that it's on the remote, pirate-controlled Jolo Islands. Stranded and surrounded by danger, he has to team up with a fugitive passenger (Mike Colter) to outwit local warlords and keep the survivors alive long enough for help to arrive.

Remember when town was invaded with colour and cheer?

Wimborne was transformed into a colourful mix of music, dance, and ancient traditions in June 2005 as hundreds of brightly dressed Morris dancers, bedecked with a cascade of colourful ribbons, jingling bells, and jaunty feathers, jigged and reeled through its streets for the annual folk festival. In a joyous invasion, more than a thousand dancers and musicians, armed to the teeth with polished sticks and crisp cotton handkerchiefs, descended upon the town for three days of spectacular pageantry and heartfelt community spirit. The air, thick with the scent of summer and the sound of laughter, pulsed with the rhythmic clash of wood on wood and the melodic swell of accordions, fiddles, and flutes. Teams of dancers, some having journeyed from as far afield as the rolling hills of Scotland and the emerald shores of Ireland, wowed the bustling crowds with their stunning synchronised routines and spectacular, time-honoured costumes. From the intricate, handkerchief-waving Cotswold style to the robust, stick-clashing Border Morris with its performers in vivid 'tatter' jackets, the diverse traditions of this uniquely English art form were on full display. The jangling bells, historically believed to ward off evil spirits, provided a percussive soundtrack to the dancers' movements, while the fluttering ribbons and feathers added a splash of theatricality to the proceedings. 'It's very traditional and what we want to encourage is the family atmosphere,' explained festival committee member Maria Bisp at the time, her voice filled with a passion for the event.

The rise and fall of Tucktonia - Dorset's 'greatest little Britain' When tragedy struck one of Bournemouth's oldest pubs 'We want to attract lots of young people to the festival because we hope that they will continue the traditions and help preserve our unique heritage.' This commitment to nurturing the next generation of folk enthusiasts was evident in the numerous workshops and interactive sessions held throughout the weekend, inviting festival-goers of all ages to try their hand at a Morris jig or learn a traditional folk song. The festival's roots run deep in the community. Brian founded the festival 45 years ago, spurred by a desire to share his love for folk culture and to support a cause close to the nation's heart. With a loan of just £395 from the local branch of the Royal British Legion, given on the condition that any profits would be donated to the Legion's Poppy Appeal, Mr Bisp embarked on his mission. The Poppy Appeal, a symbol of remembrance and a vital source of support for armed forces personnel and their families since the end of the First World War, found a fitting partner in the community-focused festival. That first event was a resounding success, doubling the initial investment, and the festival has flourished ever since, growing into a cornerstone of the UK's folk calendar. And their efforts undoubtedly paid off. Beyond the captivating street performances, the festival celebrated the very best of English and Celtic folk music in a series of live concerts at the Allendale Community Centre. The line-up was a who's who of the folk world, featuring the intricate melodies of top Irish bands like Lúnasa and Flook, and the soulful tunes of Mise. The Allendale also played host to the wonderful Nancy Kerr and James Fagan, the poignant storytelling of Colum Sands, and the energetic rhythms of Welsh trio Hoover the Dog.

For many, a highlight was the sensational performance of one of the finest voices in the folk world, Roy Bailey. His career, hailed as representing the very soul of folk's working-class ideals, resonated deeply with the appreciative audience, his songs weaving tales of struggle, hope, and humanity. As evening descended, the Queen Elizabeth School became a whirlwind of energy as Whapweasel and Random provided the foot-stomping music for a lively Ceilidh, getting everyone, from seasoned dancers to enthusiastic novices, in the mood for dancing. Throughout the weekend, the town centre was a feast for the senses. Street entertainers captivated onlookers with their dazzling skills, while colourful stalls offered a treasure trove of goods, from ethnic clothes and intricate jewellery to handcrafted rugs and an array of musical instruments.

Yukon Public Libraries introduces summer reading passport

June 13 is the last day of school for most students across the territory. As kids spill out the doors of schools and into the sunshine, the Yukon Public Libraries is introducing an initiative to make sure they don't leave their books behind. For the first time, Yukon Public Libraries is launching the Summer Reading Passport Program across all 15 libraries in the territory: the English-language passports are available at the Whitehorse library, and will be arriving at community libraries in the coming days. There will also be French language passports available. The passport looks akin to the Canadian passport, dimension-wise, said Drew Whittaker, the public programs librarian with Yukon Libraries. Inside, artwork done by local artist Dan Bushnell adorns the stamp pages, inspired by Yukon nature and wildlife, Whittaker said. Interested children will be given passports and be encouraged to come up with a summer reading goal in consultation with their families, he said. 'Maybe it's about numbers of books, but it doesn't have to go numbers of books,' Whittaker said. 'Maybe it's about the type of books that kids want to read, and it's also there's a chance for kids to kind of reflect on reading something new…' The librarian will sign off on a child's reading goal, and stamp the reader's passport as they move towards their goal, he said. 'They take their passport with them. They check out books. They read, read, read all summer long, books from the library, books from home, books from those small community library boxes. They read comic books. They just read as much as they can. They keep track of it, loosely. Keep track, and then they get their passport stamped at any Yukon Public Library location,' he said. Aside the gift of reading, children will also receive a medal at summer's end to reward them for their reading, Whittaker said. All 15 libraries will hold a community event to honour those that have achieved their reading goals, he said. Reading is a radical and revolutionary thing, Whittaker said. It preserves and shares information with others across space and time, he added. 'The value of reading to children is about interacting with their world, is about deeper, enriching experiences with their world. It's about being able to share, communicate their ideas. It's about opening their lives into human creative processes, of which, writing, discussing, debating, is part of our intellectual human existence,' he said. Reading and writing are also important for a child's future, be it education or employment, he said. A good foundation in literacy is connected to better life outcomes, he said. This is the first year the program is running, although previous years have seen similar programs imported from outside the Yukon, said Whittaker. Whittaker said creating a made-in-Yukon version was discussed for years. 'We like the made-in-Yukon approach. We are a different place. I think we're very keenly aware of how, of the differences up here, and often think like, oh yeah, we can do it. We can do our own and it'll be better,' he said. 'Libraries are institutions that are constantly changing, with changing technology and changing community needs. So you know, we're always keen to, like, look at our programs and see if they need a tweak or a change or an overhaul.' Error! Sorry, there was an error processing your request.
