  "account": "Toy Story 5 once included a deleted scene showcasing the initial encounter between Jessie and Bullseye, but the sequence was ultimately removed. The hand-drawn version of this cut scene will be featured in the film's home release, available digitally on August 18, and on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-Ray, and DVD from September 22. While the sequence was never fully animated in 3D, it remains in existence through dialogue, rough 2D animation, and sound effects that recreate the moment for viewers to appreciate and learn more about Bullseye's past.\n\nThe flashback, set just before the events of Toy Story 2, would have depicted Jessie meeting Bullseye after he became part of Al's collection. Al, the antagonist of Toy Story 2, aimed to collect all four cowboy dolls from Woody's Round-Up and sell them in Japan. It was during this encounter that Jessie would have learned of Bullseye's previous owner, Charlie, while trying to calm him down. Both toys would have bonded over their shared experiences of being alone, with Jessie promising to help Bullseye find his home someday.\n\nFans were not pleased with the removal of this deleted scene, with one expressing their disappointment on social media, while others echoed their sentiment. This is not the first time a cut Toy Story 5 sequence has been revealed, as an earlier version of the movie was intended to end with Emily and Jessie being reunited, but the concept was ultimately discarded for the version that was ultimately shown in theaters. Despite these changes, Toy Story 5 still managed to be a blockbuster hit, grossing over $1 billion globally and currently occupying the third spot for the highest-grossing movie of 2026.",
