![]() As the Anderson family packs up for a summer road trip, Woody finds his hands full with keeping Forky out of the trash and into Bonnie’s warm embrace.īut the film isn’t all funny quips and carnival games. Until Bonnie brings home Forky, a toy she created from pieces of trash. Woody finds himself time and time again left in the closet instead of being played with, which leaves him without purpose or direction. This time, however, Toy Story 4 leads our well-loved toys into new territory: Bonnie’s room.Īs a soon-to-be kindergartner, Bonnie is much younger than Andy (at least the last time we see him) and her interests diverge from what the toys-especially Woody-are used to. What could be better than ending their tale with them saying goodbye to Andy as he drives off toward college and adulthood? So it came as a surprise when Pixar announced that a fourth movie would be made. The Key and Peele characters, meanwhile, are plush prizes in a carnival booth.Like most people, I thought the Toy Story franchise would end with the tear-jerker of Toy Story 3. Every single recording session we did was so much fun.” I was thinking, ‘Oh, I hope he says yes to this.’ I’m so grateful he did. At one point, he stood up on the table and started going, ‘Huuh! Haah! Huuh! Huh!’ - doing these poses. “Then he started to embody the character a little bit while we were sitting there. Where is this coming from? Is he mad at the kid, is he mad at the commercial?’ ‘No no, he loves the kid it’s the commercial.’ All these really, really fascinating questions. He was diving so deep - ‘It’s not just a joke something is driving him. “We went for a walk around the campus and he was asking all these amazing questions about the character. He pitched it to Reeves over lunch at Pixar. “That emotional truth of not living up to the expectations put upon you, but also going from super-confident to crying like a baby, that just makes me laugh.” He’s “this bravado stunt man who, under the thin surface, has real emotional problems,” Cooley says. Reeves’ Duke Caboom is the Canuck version of that Evel Kneivel toy that looked awesome on TV but couldn’t quite do those advertised stunts once you got it home. He also has never seen ‘Toy Story’ 1, 2 or 3, so he doesn’t understand any of the rules of this world and can be a wild card.” “Forky had to be innocent enough to ask these genuine questions that force Woody to go deeper within his own self to answer. “The heart of Forky - you just fall in love with him, partly because of his innocence. “Forky never wanted to come into being,” says Folsom. Hale, meanwhile, voices a spork rescued from the garbage by Woody and lovingly given pipe-cleaner limbs and an improvised face by the human girl, Bonnie (Madeleine McGraw). She has a personality that cannot be contained.” Folsom singles out tiny police officer Giggle McDimples, voiced by Ally Maki: “She’s the smallest toy that has ever been in a ‘Toy Story’ movie. Comic masterminds Key & Peele play Ducky and Bunny Hendricks is a villainous doll with a squad of evil ventriloquist’s dummies (is there any other kind?) Reeves is a macho yet emotionally fragile Canadian motorcycle daredevil. The new characters will surely carve out a place of their own, and their casting was key as well. ![]() There’s something beautiful about having a character who is that vulnerable but she has all that strength she found in herself.” Screenwriter Stephany Folsom adds, “There’s something different about Bo: She’s a porcelain doll. Rey from ‘Star Wars.’ Marion from ‘Indiana Jones’ is a huge one as well, especially because they have that relationship in ‘Raiders.’ Also, Ilsa from ‘Casablanca.’ ” ![]() We looked at different kinds of female characters. She became someone, as Cooley says, “who can stand up for herself, has confidence, and has seen a lot of things, has lived through it. ![]()
