Comic Relief chief executive Ruth Davison said: “Over the last 15 years, TK Maxx has produced outstanding T-shirt designs and homeware items which have raised millions of pounds for the vital charities we support, thanks to their generous customers.

“This year’s brilliant T-shirt range is no exception – it’s wonderful to see such iconic and much-loved Pixar characters feature in the official Red Nose Day 2021 range.

“The money raised will make a real difference to people’s lives in the UK and around the world.

“I’m proud that the T-shirts are also Fairtrade certified with cotton grown by farmers in western Uganda, helping to create opportunities for local families and communities.”
