Barbie has been the butt of many jokes over the years, but this one in Toy Story 2 really didn't age well.
Although the animated movies were a mainstay of our childhoods, not all of the comedy included in them was for kids.
Fans claim to have spotted a host of hidden wisecracks in the flicks which they only picked up on after rewatching them as an adult.

True Toy Story fanatics will know that like a lot of other Pixar films, as the movies also feature a series of hilarious outtakes which play after the credits roll.
They are basically a blooper reel showing Andy's beloved toys making 'mistakes on set' and forgetting their lines, while snippets from deleted scenes were also included.
This bonus footage was often inspired by real-life events and would reference pop culture and current affairs.

But unfortunately, one such joke ended up biting Toy Story in the backside twenty years after the second film was released.
In 2019, Pixar removed one of these blooper scenes from the 1999 sequel in wake of the #MeToo movement.
It showed Woody (Tom Hanks) beginning a scene while stood alongside Jessie (Joan Cusack) and Bullseye, before going to check on Stinky Pete, who is in his box.
When the loveable cowboy spins the box around, he realises he has interrupted an intimate conversation between the prospector ragdoll (Kelsey Grammer) and two Barbie dolls.

He is seemingly caught chatting the pair up on camera.
Stinky Pete can be heard asking the ladies in a sleazy tone: "So, you two are absolutely identical?
"You know, I'm sure I could get you a part in Toy Story 3..."

By this point, Stinky Pete is in full creep mode and is caressing one of the Barbie's hands when he finally notices that he's got an audience.
He then nervously stutters: "Oh I'm sorry, are we back?! Oh! Alright girls, lovely talking with you.
"Yes, anytime you'd like some tips on acting I'd be glad to chat with you," he said while ushering them out of his box. "Alright, off you go then!"
I'm sure you can put two and two together about why this didn't age well.

According to Variety, due to the #MeToo movement, which gave victims of sexual assault a global platform to discuss their experiences, and the slew of allegations which emerged about film producer Harvey Weinstein, 72, jokes about seedy movie moguls weren't really fitting for a Pixar's kids film - leading Disney to quietly remove the blooper from the film when it was released on Blu-ray.
Disney+ followed suit, meaning that Stinky Pete's joke has been completely scrubbed from Toy Story 2 history - unless you have an early copy of it on DVD, or a link to a clip of the joke, of course.
Fans of the franchise also reckon that filmmakers also slipped an 'adult' innuendo into a scene in Toy Story 2 between Buzz Lightyear (Tim Allen) and Jessie.
I guess we'll have to wait and see what Toy Story 5 brings us, eh?
Earlier this year, it was confirmed that the fifth film will see the toys 'go head to head with what kids are obsessed with today': electronics, as per Radio Times.
