Gryphon and The Mock Turtle: Alice in Wonderland
Deleted Disney Characters
There's nothing quite like jello!
The Gryphon and the Mock Turtle were two characters that were removed from the final draft of Alice in Wonderland in favor of the ones chosen. However, they eventually appeared in a Wonderland-based television commercial for Jell-O in the 1950s.

In the 1930s, story treatment for the film the Gryphon and the Mock Turtle would've been on the shore where Alice, the Dodo, and his followers washed up and taken part in the Caucus Race.
The two were still present in some near-final drafts made in the late 40s. While it is unknown where and when Alice would have encountered them, two songs were penned for the Mock Turtle at this point: Beautiful Soup in which he sang about some soup he made to the tune of "The Blue Danube" and "Lobster Quadrille" in which the Mock Turtle musically recited the poem of the same name while dancing with Alice, some lobsters, some oysters, and some baby turtles.
