Fans think Home Alone deleted scene shows Harry and Marv in a new light

Home Alone is one of the most loved Christmas movies. In fact, some of us have watched it so many times we can practically recite every line and scene.

The movie follows Kevin McCallister (played by Macaulay Culkin) as he is left home alone at Christmas and is tasked with outsmarting two burglars - Harry and Marv - who have targeted his home.

Now, a deleted scene from Home Alone has been unearthed online and fans are gutted it wasn't kept in the movie.

You can watch the clip below:

The deleted scene was shared on Twitter on Christmas Eve and hundreds have been commenting on it ever since.

"A deleted scene from HOME ALONE (1990) of HARRY and MARV singing a ‘festive’ tune. I can’t believe they cut this!" The tweet read.

In the scene, the pair are driving around looking for Kevin, when Marv tries to persuade Harry to call off the search.

"Come on we shouldn't be following a kid anyway it's like sending an invitation to the cops," he says.

"Look we're doing good, come on now, it's getting dark, here's what we do... Drop this stuff off, get something to eat and come back for some more holiday surprises."

The pair can then be seen bursting into song, singing their own rendition of Santa Claus Is Coming to Town, including the lines: 'You better watch out, you better not hide, if your doors are open we're coming inside' and 'We know when you are out dancing, we know just what to take, we know where all the money is hid, so come on and give us a break.'

And viewers were loving the sing along, with many believing it shows the characters in a totally different light. Others said they can no longer hear the OG version of the classic track.

One tweeted: "Wow, this scene actually helps give Marv more character and helps them look more like partners and friends versus Harry just pushing Marv around. Shame they removed it!"

And another said: "Not sure why that got scrapped, but it would've made the movie even better!"

Meanwhile a third commented: "This should have been kept!"

And a fourth wrote: "This deleted scene from Home Alone is fantastic. I really wish they kept this in the movie."

Meanwhile a fifth said: "After 30 yrs why is this the first time I'm seeing this?"

We can't stop watching this!
