That makeshift toy, a plastic spork with mismatched eyes and popsicle sticks for feet, is Forky (Tony Hale), who becomes the most important object in Bonnie’s life, even though he wants to compulsively return to the trash from which he was born. Nevertheless, stubbornly attached to the idea that it’s his mission to make Bonnie’s life as easy and happy as possible, he sneaks into her backpack on her first day of kindergarten and once there, surreptitiously helps her create a new companion to battle the fear and loneliness she feels on her first full day away from her parents.

Toy Story 4 then skips ahead to the present where Bonnie still plays with her adopted toys–including Buzz (Tim Allen), Jessie (Joan Cusack), Rex (Wallace Shawn), Slinky Dog (Blake Clark), and the rest–although Woody finds himself increasingly left behind in the closet.

The way into the tale is an unanswered question from the previous films: Whatever happened to Bo Peep (voiced by Annie Potts), the unrequited love of Woody’s (Tom Hanks) life? The new film opens with a flashback as we see Woody and Bo leading a daring rescue of a toy car left outside in the rain, lest he become a “lost toy.” But the rescue is barely completed when Bo herself is lost, in a way, taken along with her sheep and her lamp by a new owner after Molly has lost interest. So now nine years after we bid farewell in Toy Story 3, the gang is back for Toy Story 4, and we’re more than delighted to say that director Josh Cooley, more than eight screenwriters, and Pixar’s magnificent team and cast have found a way to tell one more story that is worthy of the previous ones and a joy on its own terms. It seemed as if there were very few places that the story of Woody, Buzz, and the rest of Andy’s anthropomorphic toys–now belonging to toddler Bonnie at the third film’s fadeout–could have gone after that.īut business rules all in the world of high-roller Hollywood filmmaking, and the nearly $2 billion grossed by the Toy Story films (let alone merchandise and other ancillary profit streams) almost demanded that the series continue. The nearly perfect trilogy, whose first movie launched Pixar and changed the animation game back in 1995, came to a darker but profoundly moving close in 2010 with Toy Story 3. If there was any franchise that didn’t seem to warrant any continuation, it was the Toy Story series.
