In another deleted scene, LeFou reunites with a now-human Monsieur Toilet, an utterly broken man who apparently still smells of the Beast's Taco Tuesdays:

"Have you seen the optometrist? I have pinkeye ... bad ..."

With dead, sunken eyes and a stare of eternal horror, this poor man stumbles around like the undead, unable to enjoy the fact that he's human again. And as he slowly meanders off-camera, telling LeFou he needs to brush his teeth (they'll never come clean), the audience is left to guess at his final fate.

It is not a difficult guess.

They didn't have the Suicide Hotline back then.

Unless you've played Star Wars Episode I Racer on N64, this is probably the first time you've ever heard his name. He only appears in The Phantom Menace itself for about five seconds, all so he can embarrassingly explode in the first lap of the podrace, and doing so while making a noise like a goose choking on a kazoo.

But we'll tell you who probably does remember him: his family. Originally, Ratts' death was meant to be comically depressing, as seen from a deleted scene wherein the race announcer introduces us not only to Ratts, but also to Mrs. Tyerell ... and their three young children. All cheering their daddy from the sidelines. You know, minutes before he's vaporized.

"Also, folks, Ratts is only one day away from retirement!"

It goes on. See the little baby that Mrs. Tyerell is holding?

According to the announcers, she literally just got out of the hospital after having the kid and brought the newborn to the race to show support for her husband. Who, again, explodes comically. Welcome to the Dark Side of one-off joke characters.

In the deleted scene, the Mask-powered crime boss, Dorian, throws Peggy into a printing press, horrifically crushing her to death. Then the press uses Mask-magic to churn out a bunch of newspapers with a picture of her face being smooshed on the front page, all of them printed in her blood. She doesn't merely die in terrible pain; her remains are ironically violated and perhaps magically cursed. H-hilarious?

See, the world of Cars mirrors ours in many ways. The Cars' cars have houses, restaurants, toilets, etc, so it stands to reason they also have graveyards. Maybe that's what junkyards are? The shells all lined up neatly somewhere, so loved ones can visit? They definitely don't abandon their deceased family members in some offroad forest and let the forest mutilate them. McQueen obviously disturbed some psycho's open-air murder showroom, which is why he gets out of there as soon as possible. While screaming.

Or would it be honking?

No, no that was definitely screaming.

And here they are a few horror-and-zombie-filled moments later, with Jack not standing anywhere, because he's no longer with the group:

20th Century Fox
He disappeared quicker than interest in this franchise.

And THIS is what was supposed to happen in the middle:

Jack sacrifices his life to help his friends escape, getting torn to pieces by sci-fi zombies in the process. The scene was cut because Jack reportedly left so little impact on audiences that the director felt he could cut the death scene and no one would notice.

He was right.

Not only did audiences seem ambivalent about what happened to Jack, but so did his so-called friends, none of whom ever talk about Jack or his sacrifice, despite later making a big fuss about their other friend Winston, who's only bitten by one zombie. So there's your lesson, Bland Movie Dudes: Adopt a catchphrase or something, because otherwise you'll die horrifically ... and what's worse, you'll do it off-screen.
