Disney-Pixar has quietly removed a scene from its 1999 animated feature "Toy Story 2" that alluded to casting couch in the film industry.
The controversial scene was part of the blooper reel that played during the end credits and is now found to be missing from the latest home releases of film, reported The Wrap.
The scene featured the character Stinky Pete aka the Prospector who is caught talking salaciously to two Barbie dolls while stroking their hands.
"So you two are absolutely identical. You know, I'm sure I could get you a part in 'Toy Story 3'," Pete says in the clips.
When he realizes the camera is on him, he says, "I'm sorry are we back? Lovely time talking with you, yes, any time you'd like some tips on acting, I'd be happy to talk with you."
