When Toy Story 4 Opens In JUNE 2019, you will be amazed, amused, enamored with an interesting character ensemble, including a New FORKY Character!
Who is FORKY?
An actual spork-turned-craft-project, Forky is pretty sure that he doesn’t belong in Bonnie’s room. Unfortunately, every time he tries to get away, someone yanks him back into an adventure he’d rather skip.
Director Josh Cooley has his own perspective on the story development. Storytelling is the KING in the world of Disney and Pixar!
The world of Toy Story is built upon the idea that everything in the world has a purpose. A toy’s purpose is to be there for its child. But what about toys that are made out of other objects? Forky is a toy that Bonnie made out of a disposable spork, so he’s facing a crisis. He wants to fulfill his purpose as a spork, but now has a new toy purpose thrust upon him.
TOY STORY 4 Opens JUNE 21, 2019
Filmmakers called on comedian Tony Hale to provide the voice of Forky.
It’s a huge thrill to be part of the Toy Story family. But it’s going to take a while for it to really sink in. – Tony Hale
Teaser Trailer of TOY STORY 4 Opens
In front of RALPH BREAKS THE INTERNET
When you are heading to watch yet another Disney masterpiece Wreck-It-Ralph: Ralph Breaks The Internet during the Thanksgiving weekend, you will see a teaser trailer for TOY STORY 4.
Woody has always been confident about his place in the world and that his priority is taking care of his kid, whether that’s Andy or Bonnie. But when Bonnie adds a reluctant new toy called “Forky” to her room, a road trip adventure alongside old and new friends will show Woody how big the world can be for a toy.
Directed by Josh Cooley (“Riley’s First Date?”) and produced by Jonas Rivera (“Inside Out,” “Up”) and Mark Nielsen (associate producer “Inside Out”)

Director Josh Cooley about Forky.
When we thought up this character, Tony was the first actor that came to mind and I’m thrilled he accepted. Tony’s performance as Forky is a comedy salad of confidence, confusion, and empathy… served by hilarious spork.
How were filmmakers able to convince Hale to give voice to Forky?
A utensil’s existential crisis? I’m in! – Tony Hale
