It has never been revealed in any of the Toy Story movies what Andy's mom's name is, and it's never been hinted at. But that gives credence to the fact that Andy's mom could have been the girl who owned Jessie. As Andy's mom's first name is never once mentioned, there's a chance that it could be Emily.
Negroni claims that toy owner Andy's mom is also Emily, the original owner of cowgirl Jessie. In "Toy Story 2," sheriff Woody meets Jessie, who in the heartbreaking song "When She Loved Me," tells of being abandoned by Emily, who grew up and shifted her interests from horses and dolls to nail polish and boys.
For a little background, Emily was Jessie's previous owner that we only briefly saw in flashbacks. When she grew up, Emily gave the toy away, which is when Jessie went to storage. But thanks to a few specific clues, it seems highly possible that Jessie magically found her way into the hands of Emily's son years later.
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 films are not meant to impact the storylines of other films.
However, Woody has a change in heart after hearing of Jessie's traumatic past (by way of her song,"When She Loved Me") as she was once loved by a girl named Emily, became a childhood trinket, and was abandoned in a donation box on the side of the road.
Andy's dad never appears in any of the Toy Story films, and his absence is never addressed directly. Naturally, several theories have sprung up to explain that away, including some in which Andy's parents got divorced. One theory suggests that Andy's dad died prior to Toy Story 1, after a childhood battle with polio.
Jessie is a rough-and-tumble cowgirl doll with a passion for yodeling. Since abandoned by her original owner, she's sensitive to being left behind; however, she's also an incredibly optimistic member of Andy's toy gang.
Now, many of you probably saw that coming (it's pretty obvious, after all), but it's important to point out that this is not an amicable divorce. Andy's dad left the family, and there's plenty of evidence to confirm this. Keep in mind that Andy's dad is never mentioned or seen throughout the Toy Story movies.
Andy freaked out but eventually took the time to listen to Elena explain that she didn't want to have a child and while she loved Andy, she didn't want to have to stop being a firefighter just because she was a mother.
While there is no definite answer, many argue that Andy's parents must have been divorced. Following this line of thought, one theory (via Reddit) holds that Toy Story is a metaphor for Andy's mom remarrying.
Woody and Jessie share a sibling-like relationship. Since meeting each other in Al's penthouse, the two share a close bond. The two are shown to have pretty heated arguments from time to time, but they deeply care for each other nonetheless.
A special promotional CD for the anime reveals that Jessie and James are in their twenties as of the second episode of the series, which is a little jarring considering that Ash himself is only 10. Curiously, the video games make Team Rocket's cohorts the same age as the protagonist.
Toy Story. In Toy Story, Mrs. Davis makes her first appearance at around thirty. She gives Andy a Buzz Lightyear toy for his birthday, which causes jealousy in Woody.
Molly Davis is a minor character in the Disney/Pixar Toy Story film series. She is the younger sister of Andy, and only daughter of Mrs. Davis. She appears as an infant in the first film, a toddler in the second film, a pre-teen at age 12 in the third film, and a kindergartner during flashbacks in the fourth film.
Although Andy never actually sees Woody or the other toys alive in the Toy Story franchise, the video, featured above, makes a strong case for what would happen. After watching Woody stroll around for a bit, Woody turns and looks Andy in the eye causing him to faint.
He goes into the foster care system while his mom is institutionalized. In Curse of Chucky (2013), a post credit scene brings back Andy and in doing so, it also revealed where Mrs. Barclay was currently. She's out of the hospital and settled down with someone.
According to Mozart's debunked story, Andy's dad — also named Andy — was the original owner of Woody. Sometime around 1959, Andy Sr. was diagnosed with polio and his toys were destroyed, but he managed to spare Woody, Slinky Dog and Mr. Potato Head from destruction by hiding them in a box under his bed.
Woody is the favorite toy of his owner Andy Davis and is the leader of the toys in Andy's room. However, his position is jeopardized by the arrival of Buzz Lightyear, an astronaut action figure that Andy got as a birthday present.
No, the man who ties Lotso to the front of his garbage truck is a different garbage man (made obvious by his appearance and his voice). What did Woody write on the Post-It note that he put on the box of toys? He wrote Bonnie's address. It's visible for a few frames if paused at the right moment.
Bo Peep is a fictional character appearing in the Disney–Pixar Toy Story franchise. The character is primarily voiced by Annie Potts. She appears in the first two films as a supporting character, portrayed as a love interest to the protagonist, Woody.
again. Disney has announced a return to the world of Woody and Buzz in Toy Story 5. Disney CEO Bob Iger confirmed there would a new Toy Story sequel coming from Pixar during the 2023 year-end earnings call. It will be the sixth feature-length Toy Story movie following 2022's Lightyear and 2019's Toy Story 4.
Hischak, author of The Disney Song Encyclopedia, wrote that "When she Loved Me" is a "heart-tugging torch song" about losing a friend as opposed to losing a romantic interest. However, Hischak said that the "simple but moving" song can also be interpreted as a love song out of context.
