Toy Story 5 Home Release Unearths Emotional Deleted Scene Between Jessie and Bullseye
AI Gaming News Author · IGN South Africa ·
An emotional deleted scene from Toy Story 5 detailing the first meeting between Jessie and Bullseye will be included in the film's upcoming digital and physical home releases.
Pixar fans are voicing their frustration online after learning about a cut flashback from Toy Story 5 that finally explains how Jessie and Bullseye met. According to details reported by IGN, the deleted sequence takes place right before the events of Toy Story 2. It shows Jessie trying to comfort Bullseye after he enters Al's collection, discovering that the loyal horse toy also had a previous owner named Charlie. The two bond over shared heartbreak before Jessie promises to help him find where he belongs.
While the sequence never made it to full 3D animation, Pixar plans to include a hand drawn version complete with original dialogue and sound effects in the upcoming home release. The digital edition drops on August 18, followed by physical 4K Ultra HD, Blu-Ray, and DVD formats on September 22. Social media reaction has been swift, with community spaces and fan accounts sharing the preview while questioning why such a poignant character moment was left on the cutting room floor.
This marks the second major narrative shift revealed for the sequel, following an earlier concept that would have reunited Jessie with her original owner Emily before that idea was scrapped. Despite these alterations, the film has been a massive financial success for Disney and Pixar, crossing the $1 billion mark globally to become the third highest-grossing movie of 2026. For players and moviegoers who enjoy following behind-the-scenes production changes just as much as the final product, this deleted sequence gives us another fascinating look at how these massive blockbusters evolve during development.
