How would you respond if you saw your child with a toy that looked like one that you had as a kid? Your first assumption probably wouldn’t be that they’re the exact same toy. She was probably indifferent and believed it to be a different version of the same toy. It’s also a freak of destiny that Jessie would one day belong to her owner’s son, though we never get to see the mom’s reaction to seeing Jessie again. In the end, it makes perfect sense that these two concurrent stories are so similar because they’re related by blood. Andy even gave Woody away, albeit in a different manner than Emily. Andy forgot about Woody as he grew up too, despite their strong connection. You may be wondering how the two characters could be the same if Emily was willing to give Jessie up so easily, while Andy was far more hesitant.Īctually, the scenarios are quite similar. We definitely know that Pixar is perfectly capable of sneaking this in without being overt about it. We know that Emily is old enough to be Andy’s mom. We know that Andy’s hat and Emily’s hat are the same. We don’t know the first name of Andy’s mom. It’s perfectly reasonable to assume that her hair lightened as she aged, which is clearly the case in these photos (or she could have dyed it). The middle picture is closest to the strawberry blonde color we see when Emily is young. We never get a closeup of Emily’s face, but we do see that she has light, auburn hair as a teenager. So Emily held onto that hat…and maybe passed it on to her child, who would grow to also love a cowboy doll. The box isn’t even big enough to hold it. We do see other remnants of her connection with Jessie, but the hat is noticeably absent. Otherwise, the hats are identical.Īlso, in the donation box that Emily puts Jessie in, we don’t see the hat. The only difference between the hat that Emily wears throughout this sequence and Andy’s hat is an extra white lace around the center, which is visibly missing from Andy’s hat. In fact, you can clearly tell that this isn’t modern day with shots like these: The room is also pretty old-fashioned, leaving room for this to take place years before Andy was born. That is a hat that looks extremely similar to, you guessed it, Andy’s. Now, take a close look at what’s on this bed in Emily’s room: Jessie ended up in storage for a long time, as confirmed by her in the movie when she has a literal panic attack over having to go back. She was incredibly loved, but Emily eventually gave her away when she grew older. Her owner Emily grew up with her, much the same way as Andy. (Bob Saget’s voice) Kids, you remember the story of Jessie. Why do you think that is? And what does Jessie have to do with this? There’s a faded mark where the white lace should be. The only difference is that Jessie’s hat has a white lace around the center. It’s the same red hat with white lace that Andy wears. Take a close look at Jessie’s hat:Īh, this hat looks familiar. It’s possible that Woody doesn’t know because he’s been in Andy’s family for a long time, possibly belonging to his father.īut we need more evidence. This is a deviation from other toys who know full well where they come from. Remember that Woody doesn’t even recall that he is a collector’s item – a toy made in the 1950s. Davis) mentions that Woody is an old family toy. In Toy Story 2, his mom (who we only know as Ms. It’s no secret that Andy has a close connection with Woody. Why is this? Why wouldn’t Andy want to wear a hat that closely resembles the one worn by his favorite toy? For one thing, take a close look at Andy’s cowboy hat he frequently wears in the movies:Īs you can see, Andy’s hat is noticeably different from Woody’s. Several months ago, one of my anonymous Pixar Theory Interns (that’s a thing on a resume) came to me with a crazy proposition: Andy’s mom is Emily, Jessie’s previous owner.įor some time, I compiled all of the evidence and found some incredible support for this theory.
