‘And so you two are absolutely identical?’ Stinky Pete asks the Barbie dolls.

‘You know I’m sure I can get you a part in Toy Story 3.’

Stinky Pete then grasps one of the doll’s hands.

When he realizes, however, that he is being watched, he cuts short the conversation and ushers the dolls out of the toy box.

He then stares at the dolls’ backsides as they walk past him.

The scene was likely deleted because it reminded viewers of the ‘casting couch’ trope.

Harvey Weinstein, perhaps the most prominent man to be accused of sexual misconduct, is alleged to have assaulted or harassed dozens of women over a period of decades.

The women kept quiet about the allegations for years for fear that it would negatively impact their careers in Hollywood.

Earlier this year, he was hired to run the newly launched animation division of Skydance Media.
