We’ll just have to wait and see if/when Disney addresses the situation with Toy Story 2.
Considering how much press was done ahead of Toy Story 4’s release, it should be easy for the powers that be to respond back to an outlet, and officially confirm the reason for cutting out that brief scene in the sequel’s “blooper reel.”
Stinky Pete is the movie’s surprise villain– arguably the most fleshed out antagonist of the entire franchise.
The sequel is considered one of the strongest additions to the film series, adding in beloved characters like Jessie and Bullseye.
