The adventure of a lifetime.
―Tagline


Toy Story 4 is a 2019 American computer-animated comedy film produced by Pixar Animation Studios for Walt Disney Pictures. As the fourth installment in Pixar's Toy Story series and the sequel to the 2010 film Toy Story 3, the film was directed by Josh Cooley and released in theaters on June 21, 2019.

The film continues from Toy Story 3, where Sheriff Woody and Buzz Lightyear have found new appreciation among their other toy friends after being given by Andy to Bonnie. Later in the film, the toys are introduced by Woody to Forky, a spork that has been made into a toy, and embark on a road trip adventure.

After its premiere, Toy Story 4 was theatrically released in the United States on June 21, 2019 in RealD 3D, Dolby Cinema, and IMAX. The film was critically acclaimed, with critics praising its story, humor, emotion, animation, and vocal performances. The film was also a box office success, grossing $1.073 billion worldwide.

The film even won several awards including an academy award for best animated feature and is nominated for best original song for "I Can't Let You Throw Yourself Away".

Synopsis

Woody and the rest of the toys are back for an all-new adventure in Toy Story 4, welcoming new friends to Bonnie's room, including a reluctant new toy called Forky. "Like most people, I assumed that Toy Story 3 was the end of the story", said director Josh Cooley. "And it was the end of Woody's story with Andy. But just like in life, every ending is a new beginning. Woody now being in a new room, with new toys, and a new kid, was something we have never seen before. The questions of what that would be like became the beginning of an entertaining story worth exploring."

But Forky insists that he is NOT a toy! 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. "The world of Toy Story is built upon the idea that everything in the world has a purpose", said Cooley. "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."

Plot

In a flashback of 1999 before nine years ago of 2008, between the events of the previous three films, R.C. is being swept down a storm drain. Woody and the other toys mount a successful rescue operation, but while they are busy, a mysterious man buys Bo Peep; despite Woody's efforts to prevent the sale, Bo reassures him that it is part of being a toy to be taken away.

Two years after Andy donated his toys to Bonnie, Woody and the other toys are content in their new life. Worried that Bonnie will feel overwhelmed at her kindergarten orientation, Woody – who Bonnie has been neglecting – sneaks into her backpack, and his fears come to light as Bonnie becomes shy around her new classmates. Woody covertly places a spork and other items from a trash can on Bonnie's table during arts and crafts, and she turns them into a handmade toy-spork she names "Forky". After Bonnie places Forky in her backpack, he comes to life, which scares Woody.

Woody introduces him to the rest of Bonnie's toys, Forky experiences an existential crisis, believing he was made to be trash and not a toy, and the other toys prevent him from throwing himself away. On a road trip with Bonnie’s family and her toys, Forky – still believing himself to be trash – jumps out of the window, prompting Woody to go after him. Woody convinces Forky of the joys of being a toy and they journey to the RV park at a nearby town where Bonnie and her parents will be staying.

Reaching the town, Woody spots Bo's lamp at an antique store. Searching for Bo inside, he and Forky encounter a doll named Gabby Gabby and her sycophant ventriloquist puppets, the Bensons. Gabby Gabby offers to take them to Bo, but soon reveals her true colors and her plan: To obtain Woody's voice box, since her own is broken and no child will purchase her. When Bonnie and her parents enter the store, Woody and Forky try to escape, but Forky is captured by Gabby Gabby. By the time Woody escapes the shop, Bonnie's RV has left without him, and he realizes that he has left Forky behind. Woody reunites with Bo, who has become a nomad adventurer helping lost toys find owners. With Bo's companion, a diminuitive toy cop named Giggle McDimples, they take a route through a nearby carnival to rescue Forky from the antique store.

Meanwhile, Buzz searches for Woody on his own, seeking guidance in the button-induced phrases from his own voice box. Buzz finds himself as a prize in a carnival booth and escapes with plush toys Ducky and Bunny. Buzz finds Woody and Bo, and they recruit Ducky and Bunny to help rescue Forky, promising they will become Bonnie's toys, along with Bo’s old friend from the antique store, Duke Caboom, a Canadian stuntman toy.

At the antique store, the toys' plan to rescue Forky fails. Woody, the only toy still determined to save Forky, has a falling out with the other toys, and indirectly insults Bo. As Bo, Duke, Giggle, Ducky, and Bunny return to the carnival, Woody gives up his voice box to Gabby Gabby in exchange for Forky. Gabby Gabby is desperate to be adopted by Margaret (the store owner)'s granddaughter, Harmony, but Harmony is creeped out by Gabby Gabby's new voice and rejects her, leaving her disappointed, and offers Woody his voice box back, but Woody insists she keeps it. Buzz returns to Bonnie's RV and cries out to retrieve Bonnie's backpack, which she left at the antique store. Woody comforts Gabby Gabby and Bo and her gang return after a change of heart.

After Bonnie returns for her backpack, the toys follow her and her parents. Through Duke's motorcycle skills, Buzz and Forky make it back to Bonnie, who is overjoyed to have Forky back. Taking Woody's advice, Gabby Gabby sees a little girl crying and gives her comfort, and is finally adopted. Ducky, Bunny, Giggle, and Duke Caboom say goodbye to Woody and leave. As Woody and Bo say goodbye, Woody becomes hesitant in returning with Bonnie. With some encouragement from Buzz, Woody decides to stay with Bo and help lost toys find owners. Buzz and the gang give Woody and Bo a goodbye hug and the two groups go their separate ways. The RV's engine starts and the toys head into Bonnie's RV while her parents start the engine and head home. Rex asks if Woody will be a lost toy, and Buzz says that he will never be one. Buzz and Woody share one last message to each other from afar, "To infinity...and beyond." Woody and Bo Peep spend their night of living together by looking at the nice carnival view together and the night sky.

In the mid-credits scenes after Woody and Bo travel with the carnival, one year has passed and Bonnie has entered first-grade. At a newly built pier, Ducky and Bunny do one more version of their "plush rush" and spread laser eyes and superpowers, which Duke Caboom asks if they really can. At Bonnie's room, mirroring the scene where Woody introduces Forky, Jessie brings home a new friend Bonnie created: Knifey, a decorated plastic knife. Instantly smitten, Forky offers to shepherd her in her journey through life as a toy instead of trash. When her first question is "Why am I alive?", he is stumped. In the post-credits scene, Duke Caboom makes a successful jump onto the 'I' of the Pixar logo, poses, and gives Combat Carl a long-awaited high five, ending the movie.

Development

Lee Unkrich has said in many interviews that Pixar currently does not have any plans to make a Toy Story 4, and that the purpose of Toy Story 3 was to bring the story of the toys and their relationship with Andy to a phenomenal end. He thinks it's great that people want to see another Toy Story film, but Pixar will for now focus on other stories. He has said however that Pixar will try to find various ways to keep the characters alive, as seen in the Toy Story Toons series and Toy Story of Terror! and Toy Story That Time Forgot that there may be a Toy Story 4 in the future, but they don't have any plans for it right now. In July 2010, Tim Allen has signed on to reprise his role for a fourth feature-length film, but this does not necessarily mean that a Toy Story 4 is in development. It can easily be just in case they ever thought of a good idea for a fourth film that they would have the voice of Buzz on board. However, it does show that Disney and Pixar were toying with the idea of another Toy Story film. Tom Hanks who was supposed to turn 62 when Toy Story 4 was released had also signed on to reprise his role in case the film was made. In June 2011, Tom Hanks said in an interview that "I think they're working on it right now." However, John Lasseter says, "We haven't announced anything, so I can't really talk about it." In February 2013, several sites reported that a Toy Story 4 was in production with a release date in 2015. Some sites claimed that Disney and Pixar had confirmed Toy Story 4, but Disney has since denied these rumors saying "Nothing is official". In the most recent Muppet film, Muppets Most Wanted, Gonzo mentions (during the "We're Doing a Sequel" number) that Disney is waiting for Tom Hanks to be available so they can make a Toy Story 4.

Despite Don Rickles' passing in 2017, it had been officially confirmed he would reprise his role as Mr. Potato Head using pieces of dialogue that Rickles had previously recorded as in the film, provided that his estate gave permission for the film to do so.

Trivia

  • Toy Story 4 is the first film of the franchise to be shot in the 2.39:1 aspect ratio, unlike the first three films which were produced in 1.85:1 in addition to the first time a Pixar franchise has become a tetralogy.
    • The reason for this change is because the main cast are going beyond Tri-County as director Josh Cooley and producer Jonas Rivera stated during an interview. This change was done to accommodate the fact that Woody's world had opened up once he reunites with Bo Peep.
  • Toy Story 4 is the first Pixar film not to be accompanied by a short Pixar film since the original Toy Story (not counting Coco's later theatrical releases in which originally had the Frozen featurette Olaf's Frozen Adventure before the main feature).
    • Since John Lasseter's departure, SparkShorts created by the new talents of Pixar have succeeded the traditional line of Pixar shorts as they were scheduled to be sent straight to Disney+ by late 2019.
  • Toy Story 4 is the final Pixar film with John Lasseter's involvement before his leave from Pixar and Disney Animation at the end of 2018 leaving Pete Docter in charge.
    • This fact would, therefore, make Toy Story 4 the first Pixar film released under Pete Docter's supervision, who succeeded him as CEO after Lasseter's leave.
  • Toy Story 4 is the third Pixar film to have its own variant of the Pixar logo, after WALL-E and Incredibles 2, with the opening Pixar logo transitioning into the film as it has Luxo, Jr. glowing in the rain during the flashback scene and the closing logo have Duke Caboom replace Luxo, Jr. in the logo.

  • Lotso appears on stage during the D23 Expo for Toy Story 4 but did not appear in the film.
  • Madeline McGraw replaces Emily Hahn as Bonnie due to the latter being too old to reprise.
  • As with Toy Story 3, which ended Andy Davis’ saga as one of the main supporting characters, Toy Story 4 ends Woody’s saga as the main character and thus, most likely the franchise as a whole.
  • At the very end of the credits, there is a dedication to Don Rickles (voice of Mr. Potato Head who died of kidney failure in April 2017) and another one to Adam Burke (a Pixar animator who passed away of brain cancer in October 2018).

  • When the first full trailer was released, Disney fans from the Middle Eastern countries launched a huge campaign on Twitter with the hashtag #احنا_مش_مجرد_لعبة (literally meaning #WeAreNotAToy) that became an instant trend in several countries, asking Disney to dub the movie into Egyptian Arabic, as Disney used to dub all their movies to Egyptian Arabic since 1975, before unfortunately stopping in early 2012.
    • As a side note, the original Toy Story trilogy is considered as the most popular and loved Disney owned franchises in the Middle East, next to The Lion King, with all three movies dubbed in Egyptian Arabic the same years they were released.
  • This is the first Toy Story film not to feature the Green Army Men, due to the unfortunate death of R. Lee Ermey, the voice of Sarge, in 2018.
  • This marks the first and only time that Bo and Jessie, the two major female toys of the franchise, ever interact with each other.
  • This is the only time in a Toy Story movie the issue of how the toys are actually alive is addressed.
  • This marks the last time the 1967 MPAA logo would appear in the end credits for a feature-length Pixar film.
  • This is fourth Pixar film to gross a billion dollars worldwide, after Toy Story 3Finding Dory, and Incredibles 2.
  • This is the second Toy Story story to be released in 2019 first being Kingdom Hearts 3.

Easter eggs

  • The Dinoco gas station from the first film (from the cars franchise as well) and Poultry Palace from the Toy Story Toon, Small Fry, make a cameo in the film during the song "I Can't Let You Throw Yourself Away".
  • While talking with ForkyWoody recalls the events of the first film, including Buzz's delusions of being a real space guardian, which Forky finds ridiculous. Similarly, while catching up with Bo Peep, Woody mentions that Andy left for collage years ago, which was seen in Toy Story 3.
  • Among the object Bo Peep found over the years is a grape soda bottle cap from Up.
  • The carnival worker, Axel has a Pizza Planet Truck tatoo on one of his legs.
  • When Buzz and Bo Peep reunite, she calls him her "old moving buddy", a reference to the first film.
  • Tinny from Tin Toy appears inside the "Tiki Frenzy" pinball machine.
  • In the antique store, there are many references to other Pixar films.
    • A box can be seen with the words "CASEY JR. COOKIES". This box appeared before in A Bug's Life.
    • The goggles from Finding Nemo also made a cameo.
    • There are DVD's reading "Knick Knack", "Red's Dream", and "Lifted", with are all Pixar films.
    • A plate can be seen with the words "Wally B." and a picture of him.
  • Among the prizes at the carnival are Hector's guitar from Coco and toy rockets with the Luxo Ball printed on them.
  • The mid-credits scenes take place in the "New Stanton Beach", a reference to Pixar director Andrew Stanton.
  • A reference to Pixar's next film, Onward is made; the bounce house has the same pattern as Barley's van, Guinevere.
  • The police car's number was 2319, the same emergency code from Monsters, Inc..
  • During a mid-credits scene, Ducky calls a duo of toad toys "Rainbow Connection", while Bunny asks them "You Mr. Toads wanna take a wild ride with a kid?", a reference to "Mr. Toad's Wild Ride".
  • The film won an Oscar for Best Animated Feature and this makes Toy Story the first animated movie series to win an Oscar for Best Animated Feature twice after Toy Story 3 won an Oscar for Best Animated Feature at the 83rd Academy Awards.
