Deleted scenes from Nickelodeon movies

In filmmaking, scenes are often cut, shortened, or unrealized prior to the film's release. Nickelodeon movies are no exception, with many scenes written and even filmed but dropped from the final edit of the film.
==The Rugrats Movie==

* Right after the scene with the circus commercial, Stu and Didi have a nightmare where Dr. Lipschitz lectures them about their parenting. This scene was reinserted into the movie in its televised broadcasts on CBS and Nickelodeon (prior to 2015), and the part with Stu and Didi looking in the book right before the nightmare was incorporated into the novelization (the actual nightmare was left out). However, it is not included on the video releases. A sketch of Tommy and Dil tugging on the Stu and Didi puppets in the nightmare can be seen in the Rugrats: Still Babies After All These Years documentary.
* After Angelica and Spike get lost in the forest, there was a brief scene where the Rugrats are pulling the Reptar Wagon up a hill, all the while singing an army chant. Chuckie and the twins sing that they want to get rid of Dil, but Tommy doesn't want to. This scene was included in the novelization and was also reinserted into the movie's televised broadcasts on CBS and Nickelodeon, but is not included on the video releases.
==Rugrats in Paris: The Movie==
* The DVD includes two short scenes, likely meant to be used immediately after the end credits, in which it is shown what happened to Coco and Jean-Claude after the movie's events. In the first one, it is shown that they're now loading passengers on the Ooey Gooey World, while in the second one, they're working at a perfume factory, testing underarm deodorant and foot powders. It is unknown why neither of these two scenes were used as a post-credits scene in the actual film.
==Jimmy Neutron, Boy Genius==
* In the theatrical trailer, there is a brief shot where Cindy is shown telling Jimmy, "If we blow up, whatever's left of me is kicking your butt." Television commercials for the movie had the line changed to "If we crash, whatever's left of me is kicking your can." In the print novelization, Cindy says this line right before the kids blast off into space.
* The trailer and novelization also include two other lines of dialogue from Cindy that were ultimately unused in the film. The first of these is her response to Jimmy introducing his Shrink Ray, which was originally "Will it work on your big head?" (in the finished film, she says "What's the matter, Neutron? Aren't you short enough already?") The other line is "For a nerd, he sure comes in handy." The trailer suggests that she was to say this right before she and Jimmy smile at each other while flying through space. The novelization, however, has her saying it to Jimmy after he saves her from being attacked by one of the Yokian guards.
*The Nickelodeon's KCA 2002 Jimmy Neutron Interruption featured an unused scene in the move, where Hugh Neutron was playing "Mr. Walky Man" to Judy in bed.
* The novelization also includes a few other scenes that were cut or changed in the movie itself:
** A prologue scene is added, showing the Yokians arriving in the solar system and setting a course for Earth.
** The scene with Cindy and Libby in Cindy's room (right after Jimmy sneaks out of his house) is slightly longer. Libby asks Cindy if she ever thinks about getting married. Cindy balks at the idea, because she thinks boys are disgusting, but Libby teases her about her crush on Nick.
** Another scene with the Yokians arriving on Earth while Jimmy, Carl, and Sheen are at Retroland is included. The Yokians on the ship receive a video call from King Goobot, and when one of the crew members fails to salute, he is promptly ejected into space. Goobot proclaims to commence kidnapping the humans, reminding Captain Spoor (see below) to only grab the large specimens because "size does matter."
** After the sequence with the kids celebrating not having their parents around, there is a scene where the Yokian ships return to Yolkus with the enslaved parents. King Goobot tries out the remote control for the Hats of Obedience, using Hugh Neutron as his test subject. But then Hugh's Hat malfunctions and he briefly reverts to normal, much to Goobot's annoyance. When Captain Spoor's first officer points out that it was a result of the device being manipulated too aggressively, Goobot obliterates the unfortunate Yokian with his Doomstick (a device not seen in the movie).
** After the kids blast off into space, there is an extra scene with King Goobot and Ooblar at the Yokian marination plant, discussing their plans to feed the adults to Poultra. They then start poking each of the adults, making them yell out in pain.
** After Jimmy shuts off the hypnosis on the adults and they begin to escape, King Goobot uses his Doomstick on Ooblar.
** During the kids' battle with Poultra, there's a brief scene where Sheen sneaks around the spaceport hangar and hijacks the large space freighter that the humans later use to escape Yolkus.
** The novelization includes a Yokian character called Captain Spoor, who is in charge of their expedition to the solar system and, in the novelization, is the one who receives Jimmy's message. A brief clip and audio of Spoor (voiced by Kevin Michael Richardson) watching Jimmy's message can be seen in the theatrical trailer. In the finished film, that scene is changed so that King Goobot directly sees the message himself.
== Rugrats Go Wild ==

*The film was originally a 90-minute special, but the test screenings were so positive that Paramount decided to remake it as an 80-minute film released in theaters. One notable cut was the character Tiki, a little animal whom Eliza communicated with and who accompanied her, Darwin, Spike and the babies, who were actually going to interact with Eliza throughout the course of the movie. He was voiced by rapper and actor LL Cool J; all of his scenes were cut from the final film, for some reason.
==The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie==
thumb|250px
*During SpongeBob's awakening in the Goofy Goober Party Boat, he asks for a "double fudge spinny." This line was rejected from the film, but was still used in the Ice Cream Dreams book which is loosely based on the movie.
*One deleted scene shows SpongeBob and Patrick meeting Sandy (depicted as a live-action squirrel) on land after escaping the gift shop. In this deleted scene, Shell City is an actual city where Sandy constantly gets pursued by squirrel exterminators in black suits. She also mentions that there are buses that arrive here and Bikini Bottom. There are also humanized versions of SpongeBob, Patrick and Squidward that appear in this city. The idea of the characters having human counterparts would later be used (with the characters' respective voice actors) in the "Trusty Slab" sequence in the episode "SpongeBob's Big Birthday Blowout".
*There is also a deleted scene where Mr. Krabs appears in SpongeBob's room to give him the manager hat. This was cut to save time.
*Patchy and Potty were meant to appear in the beginning, but they were dropped because the creatives felt that they didn’t fit well into a big budget production. In the final film, Potty was replaced by a real-life parrot (with Stephen Hillenburg still providing the voice), and Patchy was replaced by Captain Bart, who, unlike Patchy, does not wear a hook on his hand.
==Barnyard==
* There is a full version of "Down on the Farm", which was animated, but not included in the final film. The full version is included on the soundtrack, however and an extended version is in the video game.
* During the montage, there is a sequence of Otis, Pip, Pig, Freddy and Peck relaxing on a hill and Pig gets a bottle stuck in his crack. This was later used as a promo for the series.
* Freddy has a conference with Dr. Filly, who would later appear in an episode of the series. This actually was made
* There is a song called "Barnyard Bop", in which Hanna sings a ballad about Otis for the opening. This was fully animated, but cut out from the final cut. Later on in the film, Otis sadly walks back to Ben's hill after failing to run off the coyotes and Hanna sings a sad reprise.
* After that, Otis runs into his friends, who think he ran off the coyotes and start cheering for him. This makes Otis more irritated and he runs away. After that, he has a conversation with Miles, who tries to give him some pep talk.

==The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water==
Some scenes that were shown in the trailers and TV spots that did not end up in the final film include:
*A cameo appearance by Saul Hudson as a street musician, in which Mr. Krabs lands in his guitar case and "swims" around in Hudson's money. This scene can be found on the Blu-ray release.
*SpongeBob flying in the sky.
*A shot of Mr. Superawesomeness's (Patrick's) pants ripping off revealing his underdrawers with him saying, "Nothin' to see here."
*A shot of SpongeBob saying, "Maybe you should get that checked out" cutting to reveal Patrick has a hole in his head saying, "Why?" this was removed for unknown reasons, possibly it would be a bit scary to younger audiences.
*Sour Note plays his clarinet and makes farting noses.
*Burger-Beard throws a 6-pack can holder at Sour Note and he gets tangled by it.
*Beach girl holding a 3 scoops ice cream cone.
*A line of SpongeBob on the surface saying "Clean it up just clean it up."
Other deleted scenes (some of which can be seen on the Blu-ray) include:
*SpongeBob and friends singing "Thank Gosh It's Monday."
*Burger-Beard explains that the Magic Book's powers can only be activated by having the Krabby Patty formula. In the finished film, things come true by rewriting the story without the formula.
*When Mr. Krabs says that SpongeBob must have the Krabby Patty formula memorized by now, SpongeBob says he can't remember, triggering a flashback in which Mr. Krabs removes SpongeBob's brain and thoroughly cleans it to erase him having memorized the formula.
*Mr. Krabs and SpongeBob try making Krabby Patties out of garbage, reminiscent of the episode "Nasty Patty". When the customers try the new "Nasty Patties", they chase SpongeBob out of the Krusty Krab while Mr. Krabs tells Squidward that Bikini Bottom is about to fall into anarchy (the latter part was moved to a few minutes later in the finished film).
*The scene of Sandy finding out there are no more Krabby Patties originally played out differently, with her noticing that everyone's going crazy and then writing a hypothesis about it on her chalkboard.
*Plankton telling SpongeBob to make Krabby Patties by using his muscles at the Taco Haüs. Unfortunately, he only ends up making another "Nasty Patty" that comes to life.
*After SpongeBob and Plankton visit Sandy, there was another scene of Burger-Beard on his ship, telling the seagulls about how, when he was a kid, he always wanted to pursue a career in cooking and was ridiculed in pirate school because of this. When Kyle the seagull asks him what's so magical about the book, he then uses the book to give the seagulls pirate hats. This was likely cut for time.
*Two alternate versions of the song "Teamwork" were written, one of which would've included a cameo from Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy.
*The time-traveling sequence was originally longer, with SpongeBob and Plankton briefly visiting a future where the citizens of Bikini Bottom are cyborgs ("We didn't go back in time! We went front in time!"), then another future where the citizens are steampunk-powered robots. SpongeBob and Plankton then accidentally time-travel to the Mesozoic era, where they encounter a Patrickosaurus and a Squidasaurus Rex. Although this scene was taken out of the movie, the video game has them encounter both dinosaurs.
*There was a car chase sequence (intended to follow the time-travel montage) where SpongeBob and Plankton attempt to get away from the citizens, ending with SpongeBob receiving an F- from Mrs. Puff after crashing. This was likely cut for time.

==The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge on the Run==
*The movie's storyline went through multiple revisions during his development. It was originally pitched as a hybrid live-action/animated movie while the plot would have been around Gary being kidnapped by King Neptune and taken to Atlantis in order to be cloned. It was rejected by Paramount Pictures as they would fear that the movie would underperform due to being set in Atlantis.https://twitter.com/paultibbitt/status/1197737848138371073 
**Another storyline taking a more "Science-fiction" approach was later made and would have featured anthropomorphic cats as the main antagonists. According to concept art and storyboards, Gary would have been kidnapped by the cats leading SpongeBob, Patrick, Squidward and Sandy to save him. Throughout the story, they would have visited different worlds such as an futuristic-like world inhabited by dolphins. This second storyline was scrapped due to being "a bit too far-fetched." and because "Stephen Hillenburg was always a fan of grounded, relatable and simple stories."https://www.animationmagazine.net/features/snail-of-a-tale-tim-hill-gives-us-the-scoop-on-the-spongebob-movie-sponge-on-the-run/

==Hey Arnold!: The Jungle Movie==
*As seen on a NickSplat "Behind the Scenes" clip, one scene that was originally longer in the storyboards was the parade scene, with Olga appearing on one of the parade floats, and Helga dressed as a monkey. Other scenes storyboarded but not animated can be seen here.
*In an interview, Craig Bartlett mentioned a cut scene in the temple Arnold was born in ("The Journal") featuring a reunion of the characters, including Helga and her parents reconciliating.
*Some finished animation was also cut for time. A shot of Arnold, Helga, Gerald, and Phoebe on the boat (posted by Craig Bartlett on his Instagram) and another shot of the airport's departure screen (shown at the 2017 New York Comic-Con) are not seen in the aired cut of the movie.
*A background character called "Hipster Toran" was designed, but does not appear in the actual movie.
*In one of the trailers, Mr. Hyunh said "A pig eating bacon? That is not okay!" This line was changed for the actual film.
==The Loud House Movie==
* Miguel Puga storyboarded several gags of Bobby's journey to Scotland, which involved riding a lot of animals.
