Mozart says Ranft revealed to him that Andy's dad was also named Andy, and that name was carved into Sheriff Woody not by Andy, but in the 1950s by Andy's father. After he got polio, Andy Sr.'s toys were burned, but he hid Woody, sparing the cowboy doll that fate.
Toy Story's protagonist, Woody, belonged to Andy's father first (indeed, Andy's mom calls Woody “an old family toy”). Andy's father was also named Andy—Andy Sr. —and he wrote his name on Woody's boot. The reason Woody is such a rare toy is because he's the only Woody doll that was ever made—just a prototype.
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.
Davis (also known as Andy's Mom and Ms. Davis) is a minor character in the Disney•Pixar Toy Story films series. She is the single mother of Andy and Molly Davis. It is unknown what happened to her husband, who is never even seen or mentioned.
Woody wasn't a real toy; instead, he represented a whole group of toys. During the 1950s, cowboy movies and TV shows were huge. This was an era during which the West was greatly romanticized, something Walt Disney was on to when he created Frontierland at Disneyland in 1955.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Mrs. Davis (voiced by Laurie Metcalf) is Andy and Molly's single mother. Mrs. Davis is presented as a loving mother to Andy and Molly, but is a major though indirect threat to the toys. Mrs. Davis's actions regarding the toys sets the plot in motion in the first three films, though they are not malicious.
Andy plays with his toys one last time. Jessie quickly adapts to her new life as one of Bonnie's toys. She decides to take advantage of Buzz's Spanish personality so they can dance together to "Hay Un Amigo En Mí" (the Spanish version of "You've Got a Friend in Me"); finally sealing their romantic relationship.
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.
Summary. Woody's age is a recurring theme in the Toy Story franchise, as the pull-string doll has experienced wear and tear over time. In Toy Story 2, it is revealed that Woody was manufactured in the 1950s, making him 45 in the first movie and 59 in Toy Story 4.
However, Woody struggled to adjust when Andy got a new space ranger action figure, Buzz Lightyear, who immediately began to overshadow him. Due to Woody's jealousy, both toys were separated from Andy and had to find their way back to him before his family moved to a new house.
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.
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.
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.
Because of her time in the monster world, she knows that doors are the key. So Boo finds a way to use wood as a means of time travel, using doors. She becomes a witch, traveling across time to find Sully, not realizing that he was millennia ahead of her.
When Andy Davis was in kindergarten, Woody was his first and favorite toy. A year later, Andy added Mr. Potato Head, Hamm, Slinky, Rex, the Green Army Men, R.C., Dolly, Duckie, Teddy, Etch A Sketch, Hockey Puck, Lenny, Mr.
In Toy Story 2, Andy names Jessie "Bazooka Jane". But in Toy Story 3, when Andy introduces Bonnie to her, he calls her by her real name. It is unknown how Andy learned her real name, but it is possible that he found out about Woody's Roundup and learned her name.
Back at Andy's room, when Andy comes home from Cowboy Camp, he is pleased to see Jessie and Bullseye added into his toy collection, calling them Bazooka Jane and her jet-propelled horse. With Andy's name printed on the bottom of her boot, Jessie is overjoyed to feel appreciated again.
