Molly is Andy's younger sister. She appears as a 1-year-old baby in Toy Story[1] and a slightly older toddler in Toy Story 2, where she is voiced by Hannah Unkrich. She appears again in Toy Story 3 as a preteen at age 12, where she is voiced by Beatrice Miller, and as a 6-year-old[2] in the flashbacks in Toy Story 4.
Toy Story[]
- "Come on, Molly. Oh, you're getting heavy."
- —Andy as he lifts Molly out of her crib
She is seen as a baby who doesn't have a major part and could only be seen in a few scenes, and is also seen roughing up Mr. Potato Head during Andy's playtime. She is then seen listening to "Hakuna Matata" (from Disney's The Lion King) and giggles when she sees the toys outside her mirror. She is last seen opening a present which is a Mrs. Potato Head, which is later owned by Andy.
Toy Story 2[]
- Ms. Davis: "Oh, you are such a big girl. Andy, you think she's ready to drive the car yet?"
- Andy: "Yeah, and I can teach her."
- ―Andy and his mother as they observe Molly walking
She is absent for the whole film apart from when Andy's mom and the end where she is finally improving her walking. She is mentioned by Bo Peep when searching for Woody's hat in Molly's room and later in the film when Woody tells Jessie, Andy has a little sister.
Toy Story 3[]
- Ms. Davis: "Molly, you’re not off the hook either. You have more toys than you know what to do with. Some of 'em could make other kids really happy."
- Molly: "What kids?"
- Ms. Davis: "The children at the daycare. They’re always asking for donations."
- Molly: "But, Mom..."
- Ms. Davis: "No buts. You choose the toys you want to donate. I’ll drop them off at Sunnyside."
- ―Molly being told by her mother to do something with her toys
In Toy Story 3, Molly is first seen as a baby during the old home videos Ms. Davis took when Andy was young. Many years later, she appears as a 12-year-old. She is first seen in Andy's room laughing on why Andy still has his old toys but is lectured by Andy and their mother. She then donates a whole bunch of things including Barbie, and listens to music while reading a Tween magazine. She is last seen at the end of the film, where she asks if Andy is going to say goodbye to Buster.
Although it's not a physical appearance, she appears in a photo with Andy and their mother where Andy has graduated from high school.
Toy Story 4[]
Molly makes a brief appearance in the flashback opening scene set in the years between the second and third films. She is seen walking out of her room, and her voice is later heard when her mother donates Bo Peep to a man, stating that she doesn't want her Bo Peep lamp anymore.
Relationship with Andy[]
- Andy: "So, you gonna miss me when I’m gone?"
- Molly: "If I say no, do I still get your room?"
- Andy: "Nope."
- Molly: "Then, yes, I’ll miss you."
- ―Andy and Molly as he helps her carry her box downstairs[src]
In the first film, Andy shares his room with Molly and doesn't seem to have a problem with it. In the second film, they have separate rooms, but as seen in the clips at the start of the third film, Andy still doesn't mind Molly being in his room. He is seen at the end of the second film helping his sister walk to their mother and comments that he can teach her to drive. However, by the present time in the third film, Andy, having developed a more adult-like personality, is much less willing to let Molly be in his room and doesn't allow her to touch his things, but still loves her. He helps her with a box full of toys she chose to donate to Sunnyside, and asks her if she will miss him. She then asks her brother if she can still have his room if she says "no", believing it will be hers when he leaves. When Andy says "nope", Molly replies that she will miss him. Near the end of the film, Andy mentions that he and Molly "said goodbye like 10 times", suggesting they are close.
Trivia[]
- Although Mrs. Potato Head and Bo Peep are her toys, they seem to be Andy's as we always see him playing with them.
- The issue with Bo not being with Molly has had a negative effect on Bo. Considering that Molly does not play with Bo, Bo took advantage of that to be with Andy, not to be his friend, but to use him as a way to get close to Woody. By the fourth film, Bo chooses to be a lost toy and gets mad at Woody for trying to help.
- Molly's disloyalty for her toys is the complete opposite of Andy's loyalty. In the third film, while Andy was putting toys (sans Woody) in the garbage bag, he was not intending to give them away, despite Andy's mom mistaking the said bag for a garbage bag.
- Just like Molly, Andy also donates his toys. Differentially, Andy donates his toys with feelings and treats them as his friends, while Molly mindlessly and emotionlessly donates hers and treats them as useless pieces of junk.
- Because of Molly's tendency to drool on any toys she could get her hands on as a baby as seen in Toy Story, she earned the nickname "Princess Drool" from the toys, especially Mr. Potato Head.
- Darla from Finding Nemo makes an appearance in Toy Story 3 on Molly Davis' magazine.
- A person is show holding a model of Molly at the airport in Toy Story 2.
