10 Deleted Moments In Recent Movies That Nearly Happened

10. The Cut Out King Triton Song - The Little Mermaid

Despite not boasting his own tune in the original Little Mermaid flick, Javier Bardem's King Triton did very much get the chance to unleash a solo song during the making of the recent live-underwater-action version of the Disney tale.

But rather than treat the world to the sound of the Spanish acting legend warbling in the water, the call was eventually made to scoop his 'Impossible Child' song out of this particular ocean.

According to Bardem himself, when talking to Digital Spy about the deleting of this number, the new song written by Alan Menken and Lin-Manuel Miranda was "beautiful" and "kind of rock and roll style".

In the end, though, director Rob Marshall (via Cinemablend) ultimately realised that keeping the fully shot song that goes "into his internal thoughts" in the film would have "taken away from the story because you have to wait to the end for that moment of connection and understanding what he's feeling and how he's feeling".

For those still desperate to see and hear what this Bardem rock and roll Triton number would have looked like, though, you'll no-doubt be pleased to learn that this 'Impossible Child' tune will eventually be seen at some point, with Bardem noting how his deleted song will finally be available as an extra when it dives into Disney+ in September.
