Does anybody else get the feeling that in earlier drafts of the film Pet Collector appeared more often?
What we know of Bob Peterson’s original version implies he wasn’t there at all.
As for Peter Sohn’s, eh. I can definitely see the logic that would lead to that conclusion, and it does seem like a possibility, but it random encounters that just show up then are gone isn’t unheard of in this type of movie. Only the sharks showed back up in Finding Nemo, for example, and even that was a one off gag.
It wouldn’t surprise me if he was or if he wasn’t.
Pet Collector is better known as Forrest Woodbush. I am attracted to him for his many horns on which the critters are perched on. (Just saying.)
