“Toy Story” conspiracists, you’ve got a friend in Tom Hanks.

The Oscar-winning actor has now heard that “Toy Story” theory, claiming Andy’s mom was secretly Jessie’s first owner, and he thinks it’s fantastic.

The theory, which went viral after appearing on Pixar theorist Jon Negroni’s blog, all comes down to Andy’s hat.

If you look at the hat, it’s clear it’s not modeled after Woody’s, but it does look an awful lot like Jessie’s. The hat just seems to be missing the white lace that goes around it, says Negroni, but there is “a faded mark where the white lace should be.”
