Forky Fans will be happy to hear that, as promised, the new and improved Forky Plush with embroidered eyes have made their way back on the shelves in Disney parks.
Back in early July, Disney voluntarily recalled over 80,000 Forky Plush dolls from Pixar’s Toy Story 4 after claims of a dangerous chocking hazard with the dolls famous glued on googly eyes.
Fans of the newly favorited character were sad to see him pulled off the shelves and the website. The Disney company also encouraged anyone who had purchased the 11″ plush to return the doll for a full refund.
Forky is priced at $19.99 and can now go home and enjoy being a toy.
The newest trailer for ‘Toy Story 4” was released today and Sporky isn’t the only new face in the movie. The movie also introduces Duke Caboom, Canada’s greatest stuntman, voice by Keanu Reeves.
Duke Caboom is a real “poser,” according to Bo Peep, but he’s the perfect toy to help track down a missing toy.
Take a look at the trailer below:
“Toy Story 4”, written by Stephany Folsom and Andrew Stanton and directed by Josh Cooley, opens June 21, 2019.
“Toy Story 4” hits theaters in just over a month and today Disney Parks announced the release of a new MagicBand inspired by the adorable disposable spork, from the film, named “Forky”.
The new Limited Edition MagicBand has an edition size of 3500 and retails for $34.99.
The new merch doesn’t end with the MagicBand. There is plenty more Forky inspired merchandise now available at Disneyland Resort and Walt Disney World Resort, including a special plush, apparel and more (none of which is disposable)!
FORKY (voiced by Tony Hale) is not a toy! At least that’s what he thinks. 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.
For Disneyland, merchandise can be found in Pixar Pier at Disney California Adventure park and World of Disney at Downtown Disney District. For Walt Disney World, merchandise can be found in Beverly Sunset Boutique or Toy Story Land at Disney’s Hollywood Studios and World of Disney at Disney Springs.
Look out for Forky in Disney·Pixar’s “Toy Story 4” in theaters on June 21, 2019.
It’s finally here! After a few tiny teases from Pixar, we have our first full-length “Toy Story 4” trailer and as expected, it’s leaving us totally misty-eyed.
The “Toy Story 4” trailer debuted Tuesday on ABC’s Good Morning America. Take a look below:
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”),

The Disney Pixar film is the third sequel to Toy Story starring Tom Hanks as Woody and Tim Allen as Buzz Lightyear, but Woody, Buzz, Jessie, and the rest of the gang are joined by newcomer “Forky” in the teaser trailer.
Forky, voiced by Tony Hale, was a spork until Bonnie made him into a craft project. Since he was not originally a toy, Forky faces something of an existential crisis. Take a look below:
The story centers around Woody who 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.
With the release of Toy Story 4, the beloved franchise now spans more than two decades. The original film was released in 1995, with Toy Story 2 close behind in 1999. The third film, released in 2010, featured the protagonist, Andy, all grown up and going off to college as the toys find a new home with Bonnie.
“Like most people, I assumed that Toy Story 3 was the end of the story,” director Josh Cooley said in a press release. “And it was the end of Woody’s story with Andy. But just like in life, every ending is a new beginning.”
Josh Cooley is now helming the film after John Lasseter stepped down from the project and Stephany Folsom has penned the next installment of the franchise after, actress Rashida Jones left due to “creative and philosophical differences” in November 2017.

Tim Allen, who has voiced Buzz Lightyear in every Toy Story film, recently appeared on The Talk on Wednesday, where he discussed the upcoming fourth installment of the franchise. Tim Allen wouldn’t reveal any plot details for the film, but he did tell them how emotional this story is.
Pixar is keeping details pertaining to the plot and characters under wraps, but it should be a good sign that 65-year-old actor, who has portrayed Buzz Lightyear throughout the films, seems genuinely touched by the story.
He was asked if he was hard at work on the beloved film by co-host Sara Gilbert and Allen replied, “Yes, I gotta resist getting emotional. I don’t want to give it away, but this is an incredibly great story. It is so emotional, it’s so funny, it’s so big, the idea they’ve come up with, I’m startled. I couldn’t even get through the last scene.” Take a look at the interview below.
He said he wished he could be a “Washington leaker,” but he stopped himself, explaining, “I just can’t do it. I can’t give any more away. They’ve got great characters but a couple of scenes toward the end were really hard to get through.”
Many of the iconic characters that first captured audiences in 1995 return to the screen in Toy Story 4.
Tom Hanks returns as the voice of Woody, while Joan Cusack, Bonnie Hunt and Laurie Metcalf reprise their roles of Jessie, Dolly and Mrs. Davis, respectively. Randy Newman also returns as the composer of the film. He was nominated for Best Original Song in 1996 for the film’s theme song “You’ve Got a Friend in Me.”

Woody, Buzz, and the rest of the gang are coming back to a theater near you! Disney-Pixar’s “Toy Story 4” is coming to theaters June 21, 2019, according to a post on the movies Facebook page on Friday.
Josh Cooley is now helming the film after John Lasseter stepped down from the project and Stephany Folsom has been tapped to pen the next instalment of the franchise that put Pixar on the map.
Disney Chairman and CEO Bob Iger today announced that plans are underway to bring Toy Story 4 to the big screen back in 2014, but there have been some bumps along the way and the film kept getting pushed back.
Lasseter announced the date back in July at the D23 expo, but this confirms it.
Toy Story 4 has a new writer! Pixar has tapped Stephany Folsom to pen the next instalment of the franchise that put them on the map. She will now be tasked with bringing the adventures of Woody and Buzz to life for the upcoming sequel for the company’s most popular property.
Toy Story 4 will be Folsom’s first major credit. In 2013 she made the Black List for her original screenplay 1969: A Space Odyssey, or How Kubrick Learned to Stop Worrying and Land on the Moon. She was also brought on late to do some work on Thor: Ragnarok although it’s not clear what exactly her role was. She recently she had a little tiff with Marvel that made news after she wasn’t given a “Story by” credit on the film. It seems that is in the rearview mirror for her, now that she is responsible for the future story of Disney Pixar’s most popular franchise.
Originally the film was going to be written by Rashida Jones and her writing partner Will McCormack, but last year she parted ways with the company. Reports claimed that Jones left the project early on after an unwanted advance from Pixar head John Lasseter.
Lasseter recently took a leave of absence following claims of sexual harassment and misconduct, but Jones issued a statement to The New York Times, saying, “We did not leave Pixar because of unwanted advances.” She continued, “We parted ways because of creative and, more importantly, philosophical differences.”
With the last sequel topping over $1 billion in global box office this film has a lot to live up to. The sequel is dated for release June 21, 2019, although with Lasseter leaving and a new writer just coming on board you can expect there ay be a delay for the release.
