She shows him a large array of merchandise based on "Woody's Roundup" and Stinky Pete explains how the show was canceled after the launch of Sputnik and the resulting interest in the Space Race and science fiction, diminishing the popularity of westerns. It is Jessie who introduced Woody to the facts about the character on which he is based. She is happy that she and the other toys are finally going to come out of storage and go to the toy museum in Japan that they are destined for. When Jessie is introduced, she tackles Woody with excitement about finally meeting a Woody doll. She is also portrayed by Devon Dawson live on stage as a guest with Riders in the Sky in their concert and plays the guitar. In October 2000, Jessie received the Patsy Montana Entertainer Award from the National Cowgirl Museum and Hall of Fame. Jessie also makes a cameo in Monsters, Inc. as one of Boo's toys that she gives to Sulley. Her singing voice is supplied by Sarah McLachlan (Jessie's song in Toy Story 2, "When She Loved Me", is sung by McLachlan rather than Cusack or Bergman). Bergman died just before Toy Story 2 was released, so the film was dedicated to her. Jessie is voiced by Joan Cusack in all the films, while Mary Kay Bergman voiced her yodels and "Woody's Roundup" TV-show voice in Toy Story 2. In Toy Story 3, while she still displays signs of the fear of the dark, storage, and being abandoned in the beginning when she and the toys mistakenly believe that they are being thrown away by Andy, throughout the rest of the film, she appears to be more loyal, confident and helpful to others, in the process developing a romantic relationship with Buzz Lightyear. But she longs to again be a source of joy to a child, and this wish comes true at the end of Toy Story 2 when Andy accepted her (and Bullseye) into his toy collection. Years of being in storage have made her somewhat withdrawn, and noticeably afraid of the dark, to the extent of hyperventilating whenever she is inside dark enclosed spaces, or even at just the thought of being abandoned. The doll, however, carries a great deal of sadness, as she was abandoned by her original owner, which left her somewhat distrustful. She is excitable, brave, and very athletic. Jessie the doll has a character very similar to the one portrayed on the television show. Her hair is formed in a ponytail braid tied with a bow. In the movie, she is a very rare toy modeled after a character on the fictional television show Woody's Roundup, where the characters included Sheriff Woody, Jessie, Stinky Pete the Prospector and Bullseye, Woody's horse. At Christmas in 1999, the Wall Street Journal called Jessie toys among the hottest of the season. Anyone could understand it and it could punch as hard as it wanted and cook up the emotion.Jessie is a fictional character from the films Toy Story 2 and Toy Story 3. God damn.Įmotional simplicity at its best. Andy playing with the little girl and being a child again, his final glance back to the toys before he leaves. I even want to cry as I'm writing this, everything about the scene. Andy was doing a lot more than saying goodbye to his toys, he was saying goodbye to his childhood. ![]() When Andy finally drives off but not without saying goodbye, emphasis on Woody and Buzz in particular. ![]() I had tears in my eyes, a grown 24 year old. Andy giving away all the toys one by one but his struggle to let go of Woody - That said it all. It actually appealed to people in real life, the struggles and obstacles of growing up and letting go of the past. ![]() Absolutely heartbreaking, but in a good way. I re-watched that ending scene recently and for some reason it hit more much harder than it would have the first time around when I was a teenager and the movie was released.
