It will beintriguing to see if Jessie’s plight is connected to the challenges posed by technology, the army of Buzz Lightyears, or if it is a separate situation entirely. The prominent role that Allen hints at for Jessie is an encouraging sign that Joan Cusack will be back to reprise the role of the character she has been voicing sinceToy Story 2.
