Get ready to feel all the feels, folks! A previously unseen deleted scene from Toy Story 5 has surfaced, offering a poignant look at how Jessie and her trusty steed, Bullseye, first met. This emotional moment, originally intended for the theatrical release, will now be included in the upcoming home video edition, leaving fans wondering what could have been.
A Glimpse into the Past
The deleted scene, shared by People, takes us back to a time just before the events of Toy Story 2. We see Jessie, fresh from her separation from Emily, encountering Bullseye after Al McWhiggin adds him to his collection. Al, as we all remember, was obsessed with collecting Woody’s Round-Up characters for profit. It’s during this encounter that Jessie learns about Bullseye’s previous owner and begins the process of comforting the anxious horse.

Just like Emily before him, Bullseye is shown wearing a name tag identifying his former owner, Charlie. The two toys quickly bond over their shared experience of being abandoned and alone. Jessie makes a promise to help Bullseye find his way back home, adding another layer of emotional depth to their relationship.

The reaction from fans has been overwhelmingly positive, with many expressing disappointment that this touching scene wasn’t included in the final cut of the film. One fan on Twitter lamented, “Why scrap it, it’s so good,” while another simply stated, “Oh we were robbed!”
This isn’t the first time we’ve learned about a deleted scene from Toy Story 5. Previously, details emerged about an earlier version of the film that would have featured a heartwarming reunion between Jessie and her previous owner, Emily. While this concept was ultimately scrapped, it highlights Pixar’s commitment to exploring different narrative paths before settling on the final product.
Despite these changes, Toy Story 5 proved to be a massive success, raking in over $1 billion worldwide and becoming one of the highest-grossing films of 2026. As we noted in our review, “With a handful of new characters adding some fresh batteries to the mix, and sidelining the right legacy characters at the right time, the fifth installment of Pixar’s main event finds another good way to wrap up,” leaving us eagerly anticipating what adventures await Woody and his friends in Toy Story 6.
