Disco Roy

Disco Roy is a character that was ultimately cut from The Adventures of Elmo in Grouchland. In an early script draft, the character is described as such:
Elmo would encounter Disco Roy upon getting trapped by Huxley in a Grouchland mining cave. Roy explains that he has been trapped in the cave for many years; originally the "king of Grouchland's disco scene," all his best moves were taken by Huxley, who then sealed Roy in the cave. Roy has since added his own personal touches to the cave, with assorted lava lamps, bean bag seats, and posters of 1970s celebrities.
As Elmo tries to find a way out, he becomes frustrated by Roy's funky, yet hopeless demeanor, and begins stamping the ground in frustration. This loosens a rock in a pile blocking the exit. Elmo, Roy, and the viewing audience would all jump together to shake all the rocks loose and allow the opening to appear. Glad to be free, Roy dances off and encourages Elmo to "keep on truckin'."
The role Disco Roy played in the proceedings would be replaced in the final film by a group of fireflies and a mining cart that breaks through the rock walls.
