You may remember Bo Peep was part of a lamp that helped Andy's sister Molly get to sleep, she wasn't actually one of Andy's toys. It shows Bo Peep still in Andy's house in his sister's room. The prologue we were shown takes place nine years before the events off Toy Story 4. "We see the reintroduction of Bo Peep," Rivera said reminding us she was first a porcelain doll on the base of a lamp. He was keen to spill the beans on Bo Peep's return and what it means for Woody and the gang. Rivera worked on the first Toy Story and has worked his way up the ranks working on the major Disney/Pixar films. We briefly saw her in Toy Story 2, but then she was missing from Toy Story 3, despite fans firmly believing she's the only toy for Woody.ĭisney screened footage at CinemaCon showing what happened to the shepherdess, but Mirror Online had a chance to find out more about what happened to her last month at a special screening event with producer Jonas Rivera where half hour of footage was screened. Nevertheless, connections with sheep are early a fifteenth-century ballad includes the lines: " Halfe England ys nowght now but shepe // In every corner they play boe-peep".Every Toy Story fan was left wondering exactly where Bo Peep was in the last movie. Andrew Boorde uses the same phrase in 1542, " And evyll bakers, the which doth nat make good breade of whete, but wyl myngle other corne with whete, or do nat order and seson hit, gyving good wegght, I would they myghte play bo peep throwe a pyllery". For example, in 1364, an ale-wife, Alice Causton, was convicted of giving short measure, for which crime she had to "play bo peep thorowe a pillery". The phrase "to play bo peep" was in use from the 14th century to refer to the punishment of being stood in a pillory. The additional verses are first recorded in the earliest printed version in a version of Gammer Gurton's Garland or The Nursery Parnassus in 1810, published in London by Joseph Johnson. There are references to a children's game called "bo-peep", from the 16th century, including one in Shakespeare's King Lear (Act I Scene iv), for which " bo-peep" is thought to refer to the children's game of peek-a-boo, but there's no evidence that the rhyme existed earlier than the 18th century. The earliest record of this rhyme is in a manuscript of around 1805, which contains only the first verse which references the adult Bo Peep, called 'Little' because she was short and not because she was young. This is an allusion of the common practice of "docking" or cutting off lambs' tails. She heaved a sigh and wiped her eye, and over the hillocks went rambling, and tried what she could, as a shepherdess should, to tack each again to its lambkin. It happened one day, as Bo-Peep did stray into a meadow hard by, there she espied their tails side by side, all hung on a tree to dry. Then up she took her little crook, determined for to find them she found them indeed, but it made her heart bleed, for they'd left their tails behind them. Little Bo-Peep fell fast asleep, and dreamt she heard them bleating but when she awoke, she found it a joke, for they were still a-fleeting. The following additional verses are often added to the rhyme: William Wallace Denslow's illustrations for the rhyme, 1902
