Biography[]
Toy Story[]
In Toy Story, Mrs. Davis makes her first appearance at 30. She gives Andy a Buzz Lightyear toy for his birthday, which causes jealousy in Woody. However, near the film's climax, Woody and Buzz became close friends. Before leaving for their new house by tomorrow, she comforts Andy that she will find Woody and Buzz and gives him his hat, unknown to her Woody and Buzz are in Sid Phillip's house.
At the end of the film, less than a month afterward, it is Christmas time, and Mrs. Davis gives Andy a puppy as a Christmas present, which makes Woody and Buzz feel uncomfortable.
Toy Story 2[]
In Toy Story 2, as a 31 year old mother, she holds a yard sale where she almost has Wheezy sold, until he is saved in time by Woody, with the help from the Andy's wiener dog Buster, who is now grown up. Although Al McWhiggin attempts to buy Woody when he sees Woody apparently in the sale, Mrs. Davis repeatedly states that Woody is not for sale. However, Al subsequently steals Woody while her back is turned, requiring the toys to go and rescue him.
Toy Story 3[]
In Toy Story 3, Mrs. Davis makes her final appearance. Since she is now slightly older, it could be possible that she has entered her forties. She is also shown to be friends with Mrs. Anderson the receptionist at Sunnyside Daycare.
Advanced Education[]
In Advanced Education, Mrs. Davis first appears in the Season 1 episode "A New Beginning", when Andy, along with Bonnie, Mason, and the toys come to her house to help her put a new carpet in her living room. As they do this, Sid took a picture and video, and showed both to the government. In Seasons 2-3, She is mentioned a lot by Andy, and can be seen in the photo that Sid took, whenever he presents it to others. In Season 4, Andy has dinner with her and Molly, and lashes out on both of them after learning that Mrs. Davis has a new boyfriend. They later reconciled, and Mrs. Davis, along with Andy and Molly, join Future Patrick on a jouney back to Andy's past to stop Tord Larsson, Sid Phillips, and Al McWhiggin from changing history. In Season 9, she returns along with Andy and Molly, and join Tom and Co. for their Mother's Day celebration at Bubbling Brook in "Meet the Phillips Family! Mother’s Day is a Sweet Treat for All!".
Trivia[]
- Although presented as a loving mother to Andy and Molly, Mrs. Davis is actually, without meaning to be, a major threat to the toys, as she frequently asks Andy to throw out the toys he no longer wants. Mrs. Davis' actions regarding the toys sets the plot in motion in all three films.
- In the first film, she purchases a Buzz Lightyear toy for Andy on his sixth birthday, prompting the rivalry between Buzz and Woody. This leads to them being lost and forced to find their way home and must first escape Sid Phillips.
- In the second film, Mrs. Davis tries to sell Wheezy at her yard sale, prompting Woody's rescue attempt where he is subsequently stolen by Al, sending Buzz, Rex, Hamm, Slinky Dog and Mr. Potato Head to rescue him.
- In the third film, she forces Andy to clean out his room before going to college and puts the bag of toys Andy was putting in the attic out on the curb as trash by mistake. Afterwards, the toys in the bag escaped, she then donated Woody, Buzz and all their friends to Sunnyside Daycare.
- She might also set the plot of the fourth film in motion, considering that she gave away Bo Peep.
- In Toy Story 2 and 3, Mrs. Davis' hair has changed from long and brown to short and blonde, suggesting that she had it dyed and cut short.
- There is a remote possibility that Andy's mom is actually Emily (Jessie's original owner). This is because the red cowboy hat that Andy wears is similar to the one Emily was wearing in Jessie's flashback (Andy's hat also has a faded white ribbon which supports this theory), and Andy's mom grew up during part of the 60's and the 70's, making her the right age to be Emily. While this is unconfirmed, there is plenty of evidence to back up this theory.
- The said theory is instantly disproven by the sheer fact that her first name is Jennifer, not Emily.
- She is apparently ambidextrous, as she is shown writing with both hands in the third film.
- She also appeared in Toy Story 3: The Video Game (PSP version) outside Andy's room.
- In the All Grown Up Series, she is around 50 years old.
