Get your handkerchiefs ready--wait, do people carry those anymore or was that only in 1888? The latest trailer for Toy Story 4 is here, and there is a 70% chance of me crying in the theater like a giant man-baby when I see the movie on June 21. Chances are, you'll be in the same predicament.
It's been 24 years since the first Toy Story movie hit theaters, and with each sequel, the audience's emotional heartstrings are pulled to a point where many of us are left in blubbering messes. Ok, enough talk about crying openly in a crowded movie theater.
The new trailer for Toy Story 4 gave us all a pretty good idea of what this movie is about. It's essentially a buddy road trip movie, but one of the people is a cowboy with a pull string and the other is a spork with pipecleaner arms. We got a lot of information about the plot as well as what all the characters in this world will be up to during the adventure. The trailer also reminded us of how the last movie ended, which was on a sad, but hopeful note. Here's everything we learned about Toy Story 4, along with some things you might have missed.
Meet Forky
If you remember at the end of Toy Story 3, Andy was going away to college and gave all his old toys away to Bonnie. Now, Bonnie has made a new toy named Forky (Tony Hale). He's a spork with pipecleaner arms and popsicle stick legs. Woody introduces the new toy to the rest of the group.
Forky Is Bonnie's
Much like how Andy wrote his name on all of his toys, Bonnie did the same to Forky.
A Trip Across The Country
Bonnia's family is on a road trip in an RV. Where the family is planned on heading, we don't know at this point of the trailer, but further down the line we are led to believe it's Grand Basin--which is somewhere in the United States. In fact, where Bonnie's family lives is a mystery as well. Many folks on the internet say Bonnie--along with Andy's family--lives in Ohio. However, Toy Story is a film where you could easily imagine the main characters live wherever you do, as long as that's in the United States.
Woody Chases Forky
On the RV, Forky decides his life as a toy is not what he hoped for, as he's supposed to be used to help people eat food, so he jumps out of the RV to escape, and Woody chases after to save him. Wait... If Forky knows he's a food utensil, does that mean all inanimate objects have consciousness in this world? Or do they only get it once they become a toy? My brain hurts.
Anyway, Bonnie has written her name on Woody's foot here, which you can only see for a brief second. Presumably, Woody's other foot still says "Andy."
Enter Grand Basin
Grand Basin feels like every local spot I went to as a kid on road trips, primarily somewhere in the Black Hills. However, Grand Basin--as a town-- doesn't exist. There's Basin, Wyoming, and Grand Basin National Park--primarily in Nevada--but no Grand Basin. Anyway, it's a town the feels stuck in its past, even though it's surrounded by modern features. It's every town you visit on a road trip.
Antiques
While Woody and Forky are in Grand Basin, searching for a way to find Bonnie, Woody sees a sheep lamp that's lit and thinks that, somehow, that's connected to Bo Beep, who has been gone for quite some time.
Hello, Nightmares
Once in the antique shop, Woody finds that he's stuck there and there are a bunch of ventriloquist dummies attempting to keep Woody from leaving. This is terrifying.
Bo Peep
Woody's hunch was right, and he finds Bo Peep. This can't be what it seems though, right? Bo doesn't seem too keen on heading back to Bonnie.
Grand Basin's Fair
Bo tells Woody--in so many words--that you don't need to be in a kid's room when there is all of this, pictured above.
I'm just going to call it now. This isn't the Bo Peep that Woody and company knows. She's the villain in the movie, trying to keep Woody away from Bonnie. Why? Well, I haven't figured out why yet. I'm probably looking too much into this.
Buzz To The Rescue
Amazingly, Bonnie's family makes it to the Grand Basin fair. Well, Woody probably knew that's where they were headed the whole time, so it's more amazing that Woody and Forky made it there. Buzz leaps out of the RV to search for the duo, but--as you'll see--it doesn't go as planned because nothing does in Toy Story.
Finally, A Movie With A Rave Scene
At the antique store, where this presumably takes place, Bo has a whole bunch of friends, who all like to party in a backroom somewhere. So the evil doll and her horde of ventriloquist dummies don't rule the store with an iron fist, like Lotso did with the day care in Toy Story 3.
Someone Help Buzz
Very briefly, we see Buzz zip-tied to a wall with a bunch of stuffed animals. He's made it to the fair, but he's somehow become a prize at one of the carnival games, and he's not getting along with the two stuffed animals above him, who are voiced by Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele.
