New toy in town

Fans of Toy Story get ready to welcome a new toy in town. The trailer for Toy Story 4 is out and just when we thought we knew the whole gang — Woody, Buzz Lightyear, Rex, Slinky Dog, Hamm the Piggy Bank and Mr and Mrs Potato Head - along comes someone new. It appears to be a very confused and scared spork named Forky. But this is not just any spork. This utensil has pipe cleaners for arms and is voiced by Tony Hale. 

Says director Josh Cooley, “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 fulfil his purpose as a spork, but now has a new toy purpose thrust upon him.” 

A road trip adventure alongside old and new friends will show Woody how big the world can be for a toy. Well, the trailer has come as a Children’s Day gift for kids. The film is set to hit theatres on June 21.
