I literally just discovered this today, but here’s a deleted scene shown on the Swedish VHS release of the animated “Charlotte’s Web” film (1973).

This is shown right after we see Avery and Lurvy spot Jeffery trying to get into Wilbur’s crate. The truck stops so Avery can put Jeffery on the ground, and the latter tries to catch up with the truck, but to no avail. His mother then proceeds to lead him and his siblings to the pond.
I don’t know if this scene was originally shown during the film’s original theatrical release, but for some reason, this has been removed from subsequent releases on VHS and DVD. If anybody has the English version of this particular scene (that is, if it appears on the 1979 or 1988 VHS tapes), PLEASE let me know.
I’m pretty stunned I haven’t seen this before, but it wouldn’t surprise me if someone at Paramount hated this moment and gave it the axe. And yet, I did wonder hwat happened to Jeffery at all since we never saw what happened next, that goose was never seen again.
