Toy Story 2 is back on UK television screen stoday on BBC1 at 4.35pm.
Buzz, Woody and the gang are back for more zany adventures with some new characters but the usual mix of slapstick fun and heartwarming sentiment.
Feisty new cowgirl Jessie, though, might also add an extra emotional punch.
Over the years many fans have been convinced that she holds a vital clue about who Andy’s mysterious mum is. Even Toy Story legend Tom Hanks believes it…
Hanks has given his seal of approval to a recent theory which went viral after it was backed with powerful images and storyline facts as evidence.

The theory concerns who Andy’s mother really is and links her to Jessie the cowgirl doll.
Not only that, the star added: “I’m sure the folks at Pixar have paid attention to it.”
It’s certainly a little less shocking that the convincing new theory that in Toy Story even the sex toys are alive.
On the safer ground of Andy’s mum, 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.”
The whole theory hinges on a hat seen in Jessie’s flashback to her original owner and once considered it’s impossible to forget.
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.
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…
