Canonically, Boo is named after her voice actor, Mary Gibbs. Gibbs was also a toddler at the time of filming, which gave the film and her character more heart, as well as a sense of realism to her voice.
The decision to make Boo's real name Mary wasn't entirely random. It appears Pixar gave Boo this name based on the young girl who provided the voice for Boo in Monsters, Inc.: Mary Gibbs. She is not an actor by trade but is connected to Pixar in another way. Her father, Rob Gibbs, worked on Monsters, Inc.
In a book based on the first film, it is revealed that Boo's real name is Mary Gibbs (the same name as her voice actress). In the film, she signs her drawings with the name "Mary."
Trivia: Boo's real name is Mary, the same as the young girl, Mary Gibbs, who voices Boo. This is only just visible on one of the drawings Boo makes in Mike and Sulley's apartment.
A fan theory suggests that Boo from Monsters, Inc. grows up to be Andy's mom in Toy Story, but there are flaws in this theory. Pete Docter, Chief Creative Officer of Pixar, debunked the theory and explained that the Easter eggs in Pixar movies are not meant to impact the storylines of other films.
However, Peter Docter, a Pixar director and one of the story writers of Toy Story 2, revealed that the theory is actually false (via ET Online). Docter explained that he does have a backstory for Jessie, but he's not willing to reveal what it is just yet.
It is unknown what had happened to Andy and Molly's (presumably Mrs. David's husband). We never see her wearing a wedding ring at any point in the first Toy Story-movie, indicating that she could be divorced from Andy and Molly's father.
After her door is shredded, Sulley feels sad that he'll never see Boo again and keeps one of the splintered pieces from her door as a memento. At the end of the film, Mike brings Sulley (now the new CEO of Monsters, Inc.)
When she first appears, Boo is very attached to Sulley (calling him "Kitty"), but he isn't so keen. But as the film progresses, he develops a bond with her. At one point, Sulley, under Mr.
Monsters, Inc 2 never got made. Instead, Pixar made a prequel in Monsters University. Though the movie didn't revisit Boo, it did give fans insight into how Mike and Sully met and became friends and teammates.
Bo appeared briefly in the beginning of Toy Story 3 but doesn't speak. Her cameo is in the home movies Andy's mom makes. By the time of the actual events of the film, it is revealed that Bo is one of the toys that have been given away.
In the film, Boo is a 2-year-old human child and speaks mostly in gibberish due to her age, who has escaped from her room from which Randall intended to kidnap her. Much of the film's plot follows what happens as Sulley and Mike try to get Boo back to safety.
Fans will remember that Boo loves drawing and like any professional artist, she signs her masterpieces with her name. If you pause the scene where Boo is in bed and surrounded by her drawings you'll see the name "Mary" written at the top. Mary is Boo's real name and our minds have collectively blown.
Boo's real name is Mary Gibbs, and although many believe her to be of Asian descent, the 2-year-old is Hispanic, according to her file shown in "Monster's Inc." Also, if you don't subscribe to the Pixar Theory, the timeline for Boo and Abby is way off, seeing as Abby is a teenager in 2002, and Boo is 2 years old in ...
Sully wasn't Boo's father, but he certainly models a lot of dadcrafting qualities. Boo, like all children, has a powerful reforming quality on Sully. As Boo shuddered in fear at Sully's roar, Sully knew everything had to change.
Boo is a 2-year-old toddler who is curious and naïve. She can talk, but mostly has gibberish vocabulary and little dialogue because of her age. The only actual words she says in the film are "Boo!", "Kitty!", "Eww.", "Roar!" "Cookie.", "I'm Tigger.", "Gotcha!", "Look I made a big hole!", and "Mike Wazowski!".
During the last part of the scare Olympics, Sulley roared so loudly that Randall was knocked to the ground, causing him to botch his routine. As a result, Randall was expelled from Roar Omega Roar and developed a hatred for Sulley, noting that it would be the last time he lost to him.
One of the cameos is of a little girl from Toy Story 3, who many fans theorized to be Boo from Monsters, Inc., who makes an appearance in Bonnie's kindergarten class. Another shot from the film also featured a young girl with pigtails in a pink shirt who tries to win the series' beloved newcomers, Ducky and Bunny.
Gannaway added it wasn't like that he and Pete Docter, who directed the original movie and now serves as the showrunner for the spin-off, did not want Boo to return. Rather the character's connection with Sulley was so valuable to fans, they decided to leave it alone and focus on a new chapter.
This theory went viral on many social networks, especially on TikTok. It became so popular that it even made its way to the film's director. In an interview with ComicBookMovie, Shi talked about this theory and denied it, saying that Abby was not intended to be an adult version of Boo.
Andy's dad never appears in any of the Toy Story films, and his absence is never addressed. Several theories sprung up to explain that, including some in which Andy's parents got divorced. One theory suggests Andy's dad died before Toy Story 1, after a childhood battle with polio.
They don't state WHO the previous owner was, but they definitely DO state that he's been in the family. Andy's mom states that Woody is "an old family toy." Prospector calls him a "hand-me-down cowboy doll." John Lasseter said, "we always thought [that Woody is] kind of a hand-me-down to Andy from his father."
Andy's favorite toy had always been Woody, an old-fashioned, pull-string cowboy doll. However, Woody struggled to adjust when Andy got a new space ranger action figure, Buzz Lightyear, who immediately began to overshadow him.
