Disney Pixar’s Onward brought the fantasy world into the 21st century—complete with smartphones, hoodies, and chain restaurants. But how would the legend of the siren song get a timely update? In this deleted scene shared by Entertainment Weekly, Ian Lightfoot (Tom Holland) finds himself tempted by an offer he can’t refuse—alongside a key character who was cut from the film.
It’s kind of wild that we’re already getting deleted scenes from Onward less than a month after the movie came out. But now that the film is available on VOD with an upcoming Disney+ release, we’re now seeing more behind-the-scenes specials and scenes cut from the film. Entertainment Weekly premiered this deleted storyboarded scene of Ian and a satyr encountering a trio of sirens, who weren’t tempting sailors to their death but rather coercing teenagers into buying a timeshare.
You might not recognize the person Ian is sharing a scene with, and that’s because she was cut from the movie. Originally, Ian and Barley (Chris Pratt) were going to be joined by Jenny, who worked at the chain restaurant the pair stopped at along their journey. According to director Dan Scanlon, Jenny was a fun, energetic satyr who was “super into fantasy” and decided to accompany the brothers and their half-a-dad on the rest of their quest.
