Toy Story Andy and Jessie HEARTBREAK backed by Tom Hanks for Toy Story 4

Everyone loves Toy Story, but like all great kids films, there is some real hearache mixed in with the fun.

Toy Story 3 is back on UK television today at 1.20pm on BBC1 and also ramps up the fears as the plucky characters face a terrible fiery fate.

Plucky and resourceful Jessie the cowgirl also shows why she has become a fan favourite but did you know that she could have an incredible heartbreaking link that reveals who Andy’s mum really is?

Tom Hanks himself has given his seal of approval, and who would argue with Woody? 

Film critic Jon Negroni pointed out that Andy’s red cowboy hat when he’s playing with Woody is almost identical to the one worn by Jessie.

In Toy Story 2 Jessie sings a song called When Somebody Loved Me, where she reminisces about a little girl called Emily who used to own her.

When Emily plays with Jessie she also wears a red cowboy that’s almost identical to the one Andy wears in Toy Story.

Hanks backed the idea and said: “I’m sure the folks at Pixar have paid attention to it.”

This seems strange since Andy’s own toy, Woody, has a very different brown hat.

Could Andy’s hat have been handed down by Emily to her son?

Emily certainly didn’t throw away her own hat when she discared so many of the toys in the heartbreaking scene. It is definitely missing when Jessie is put in a donation box with all the other items related to the cowgirl toy.

Does this prove that Emily is Andy’s mum? Tom Hanks seems to think so…

Hanks added to Huffington Post: “Sounds like a fantastic off-story, a little bit of fan knowledge to me… I’m not saying such a flashback might happen in the fourth movie, but check it out.”

Toy Story 3 is on BBC1 on Christmas Day at 1.20pm
