(#7) Lilo & Stitch

Character And Film: Stitch, Lilo & Stitch
Deleted Scene: When Lilo introduces Stitch to her fish friend, Pudge, Stich slaps the fish away. Out of the water and vulnerable to the seagulls, Pudge soon perishes. Lilo tries to fend off the gulls, but Stitch just sits and watches. After Lilo chastises Stitch, she buries Pudge - right next to the graves of her parents.
How It Changes The Main Character: This scene not only teaches Stitch about mortality, it marks a major turning point for his character's morality. After failing to act, he learns how much he's hurt Lilo - something he takes to heart. It makes the film a bit darker but also allows the audience to see more of Stitch's growth.
(#4) Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part I
- Emma Watson, Daniel Radcliffe, Helena Bonham Carter, Ralph Fiennes, John Hurt, Alan Rickman, Michael Gambon, Brendan Gleeson, Bonnie Wright, Jason Isaacs, Bill Nighy, Julie Walters, Rupert Grint, Michelle Fairley, Timothy Spall, Rhys Ifans, Tom Felton, Robbie Coltrane, Imelda Staunton, Evanna Lynch, Natalia Tena, Miranda Richardson, Toby Jones, Warwick Davis, Domhnall Gleeson, Jamie Campbell Bower, David Thewlis, Clémence Poésy, Richard Griffiths, Fiona Shaw, Katie Leung, 피터 뮬란, Matthew Lewis, Helen McCrory, Freddie Stroma, Frances de la Tour, Rade Šerbedžija, Devon Murray, Toby Regbo, Mark Williams, Jessie Cave, Geraldine Somerville, Oliver Phelps, Nick Moran, David O'Hara, Michael Byrne, Guy Henry, Sophie Thompson, Simon McBurney, James Phelps, David Ryall, Dave Legeno, Ralph Ineson, Afshan Azad, Georgina Leonidas, George Harris, Adrian Rawlins, Scarlett Byrne, Carolyn Pickles, Joshua Herdman, Harry Melling, Graham Duff, Ned Dennehy, Rose Keegan, Greg Bennett, Kate Fleetwood, Emil Hostina, Samuel Roukin, Steffan Rhodri, Arben Bajraktaraj, Andy Linden, Angelica Mandy, Richard Strange, Daniel Hill, Martin Ballantyne, Sam Creed, William Melling, Daisy Haggard, Suzie Toase, Rod Hunt, Isabella Laughland, Ian Kelly, Anna Shaffer, Hazel Douglas, Adrian Annis, Charlotte Atkinson, Eva Alexander, George Potts, Elliot Francis, Penelope McGhie, Paul Davies, Matyelok Gibbs, Simon Grover, Jon Campling, Ruby Evans, Amber Evans, Louis Cordice, Anthony John Crocker, Ashley McGuire, Ifeoma Oboko, Daniel Tuite, Paul Khanna, Granville Saxton, Bob Yves Van Hellenberg Hubar, Peter G.

Characters And Film: Harry Potter, Petunia and Dudley Dursley; Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1
Deleted Scene: Before the Dursleys leave Privet Drive, Harry has a moment with each of the family members.
How It Changes The Main Character (And His Family): Arguably, these scenes are more important for Petunia and Dudley than Harry. For book readers, the final moments with the Dursleys will be familiar. But moviegoers merely got a glimpse of Harry's tormentors before they left the series forever.
In the two scenes, we hear Petunia speak fondly of her sister for the first time, proving that she was affected by the loss. We then have Vernon prove he hasn't changed at all before Dudley says a good-bye to Harry and gives him the closest thing to a compliment Harry has ever received from a Dursley. These moments provide Harry with a little closure, but they also prove that two out of the three Dursleys are at least a little human.
(#14) Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
- Kate Winslet, Kirsten Dunst, Jim Carrey, Mark Ruffalo, Elijah Wood, David Cross, Tom Wilkinson, Jane Adams, Josh Flitter, Deirdre O'Connell, Paul Litowsky, Lauren Adler, Thomas Jay Ryan, Amir Ali Said, Debbon Ayer, Gerry Robert Byrne, Ryan Whitney, Brian Price, Lola Daehler
Character And Film: Joel Barish, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Deleted Scene: In this case, there are several scenes, all involving Naomi, Joel's ex-girlfriend. One scene in particular shows Joel calling Naomi after first meeting Clementine and telling his ex that he doesn't think they should jump back into things. He then calls Clementine for the first time.
How It Changes The Main Character: The meet-cute/tragedy of the relationship between Joel and Clementine is severely altered when you realize Joel has an on-and-off relationship with someone else that he's essentially avoiding because he's more interested in Clementine. There are also some additional sad moments when Naomi is erased from Joel's memory and he doesn't recognize her.
(#1) Independence Day
- Will Smith, Jeff Goldblum, Vivica A. Fox, Randy Quaid, Harry Connick, Jr., Mary McDonnell, Harvey Fierstein, Frank Welker, Bill Pullman, Adam Baldwin, Judd Hirsch, Andrew Keegan, Brent Spiner, Robert Loggia, Mae Whitman, James Rebhorn, Lisa Jakub, Erick Avari, Christine Devine, Rance Howard, Dan Lauria, John McLaughlin, Richard Speight, Jr., Margaret Colin, Wendy Walsh, Tracey Walter, Leland Orser, Bill Smitrovich, Dean Devlin, Jerry Dunphy, Eleanor Clift, Fred Barnes, Tim Kelleher, Jim Piddock, Thomas F.

Character And Film: David Levinson, Independence Day
Deleted Scene: David explains he can decode the alien's language and use tech from Roswell to make his Macintosh computer capable of uploading a virus to the mothership.
How It Changes The Main Character: This scene shows how much of a genius David is, but more importantly, it fills a major plot hole that viewers have wondered about since the film's 1996 release: How the heck can the humans give a virus to an alien operating system?
(#15) Boiler Room
- Ben Affleck, Vin Diesel, Nia Long, Giovanni Ribisi, Scott Caan, Anson Mount, Jamie Kennedy, Siobhan Fallon Hogan, Nicky Katt, Ron Rifkin, Tom Everett Scott, Mark Webber, Kirk Acevedo, Desmond Harrington, Jon Abrahams, Bill Sage, Peter Maloney, Taylor Nichols, Christopher Fitzgerald, Will McCormack, Donna Mitchell, Marsha Dietlein, Neal Lerner, Joseph Tudisco, John Griesemer, Angelo Bonsignore, Eddie Malavarca, Ben Van Bergen, Marjorie Johnson, André Vippolis, Delancey Birzin, Daniel Sauli, Lucinda Clare, Peter Rini, Spero Stamboulis, Carlo Vogel, Jonny Fido, Herbert Russell, Alex Webb, Donald John Hewitt, Daniel Reton, David Younger, Jared Ryan, Robert Boris, Taylor Patterson, Lisa Gerstein, Mark Moshe Bellows, Robert Frannicola, Judy Del Giudice, Gillian Sacco, Ross Ryman, Seth Ullian, Lori Yoffe, Raymond Pirkle, Matthew Saldivar, Serge Skliarenko, Michael McCarthy, Joe Pretlow
Character And Film: Seth Davis, Boiler Room
Deleted Scene: As he departs his office, Seth passes by Harry, the investor that he's screwed over, who is shown to be armed.
How It Changes The Main Character: The original ending of the film involved Seth's bilked investor coming to the office and raining fire down on everyone. This would have ended things on a much darker note and shown just how nefarious Seth's actions were.
(#12) The Amazing Spider-Man 2
- Emma Stone, Jamie Foxx, Sally Field, Paul Giamatti, Martin Sheen, Andrew Garfield, Felicity Jones, Chris Cooper, Dane DeHaan, Marton Csokas, Colm Feore, Embeth Davidtz, Campbell Scott
Character And Film: Peter Parker, The Amazing Spider-Man 2
Deleted Scene: After Peter has quit being Spider-Man, his dad approaches him in a cemetery. Richard Parker reveals he's not only been alive this whole time and watching his son grow, but he also faked his demise to protect his own life.
How It Changes The Main Character: Given how much was already crammed into this film, the scene in question only would have complicated things further. It also would have changed Peter's motivations for returning as Spider-Man at the film's ultimate end.
The reveal that Peter's dad is still alive also amps up the conspiracy and thriller elements woven into the script, for better or worse.

About This Tool
We all know that movies and TV shows often cut scenes. Because time is limited, especially in a film, the effect is to be engaging from beginning to end, which can easily dampen the audience’s enthusiasm if the plot is too complicated or uninteresting or irrelevant to the subject matter.
The random generator tool collates 15 entries and records 15 deleted scenes from movies or TV shows. The removal of some of these plots, although not very important, but some will directly determine the direction of the film or TV series. Independence Day, Aliens, The Lord of The Rings, Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows, and so on. Did you find the secret plots?
