When Bonnie's family goes on a road trip, Forky jumps out the
window of the moving RV, and Woody does the same, despite Buzz Language English
Lightyear's protests. As they walk to the RV park, Woody finally Budget $200 million[4]
convinces Forky that his place is with Bonnie. As they pass an Box office $1.073
antique store, Woody recognizes Bo Peep's lamp, and detours inside

to find her. They encounter a talking doll named Gabby Gabby and
her ventriloquist dummy friends. They immediately try to take
Woody's voicebox to replace Gabby's broken one, but Woody escapes the store, though Forky does not. At a
playground, Woody reunites with Bo Peep and her sheep, who have deliberately become "Lost Toys", free
from any one owner and able to do as they please. They agree to help him rescue Forky.

Buzz, in trying to find Woody, gets lost in a carnival and becomes a prize at a game, but escapes with plush
toys Bunny and Ducky. They meet up with Woody and Bo, and with the help of pocket toy Giggle
McDimples and Canadian stunt bike toy Duke Caboom, they twice attempt to rescue Forky (who is actually
enjoying himself and is in no danger) but fail both times. After McDimples is nearly killed by the store owner's
cat, the toys argue about whether or not to go back. Woody, still desperate to be of some use to Bonnie, insults
Bo by saying loyalty isn't something a "Lost Toy" can understand. He is left alone to attempt to rescue Forky,
but when he confronts Gabby, she explains to him she has wanted a child's love for more than 60 years.
Woody sympathizes, and gives her his voice box.

As Woody and Forky leave, they see Gabby Gabby cruelly rejected by Harmony, the store owner's
granddaughter. Woody returns, and offers to take Gabby to Bonnie. Bo and her group also return, helping
Woody, Gabby, and Forky get back to Bonnie, while Jessie and Buzz rally the other toys to interfere with the
RV's controls and force Bonnie's dad to return to the carnival. On the way to the RV, Gabby discovers a lost
and crying little girl, and decides to stay and comfort her. The little girl is found by her parents, but keeps
Gabby as her toy.

Woody and Bo Peep, atop the carousel, decide they must leave each other again. Buzz convinces Woody that
Bonnie is okay without him and that he is free to stay with Bo. Woody gives his badge back to Jessie, and
becomes a "Lost Toy" along with Bo, Giggle, Caboom, Bunny and Ducky; his longtime friends share an
emotional goodbye with him, and leave with Bonnie. The Lost Toys then dedicate themselves to traveling
with the carnival and helping prize toys find new owners.

On the first day of first grade, Bonnie makes a new (female) doll out of a plastic knife. The doll suffers the
same existential crisis as Forky, and he becomes smitten with her.

Production

Development

In 2010, Toy Story 3 director Lee Unkrich said that Pixar was not
planning another Toy Story film, saying, "It was really important to
me with this film that we not just create another sequel, that it not just
be another appendage coming off of the other two... there may be
opportunities for Woody and Buzz in the future, but we don't have
any plans for anything right now."[35] Tom Hanks and Tim Allen had
tentatively signed on to reprise their roles of Woody and Buzz; Hanks
stated the following year that he believed Pixar was working on a
sequel.[11][36] Rumors arose that Toy Story 4 was in production and
slated for release for 2015, but Disney denied these rumors in
February 2013.[37]
Toy Story 4 is the film directorial
debut of Josh Cooley.
Disney officially announced Toy Story 4 during an investor's call on November 6, 2014.[38] Then-studio head
of Pixar John Lasseter, who directed the first two films and executive-produced the third, was scheduled to
direct after writing a film treatment with Andrew Stanton, with input from Pete Docter and Unkrich. Rashida
Jones and Will McCormack joined as writers, with Galyn Susman returning as a producer from Ratatouille.[39]
Lasseter explained that Pixar decided to produce the sequel because of their "pure passion" for the series, and
that the film would be a love story.[40] He felt that "Toy Story 3 ended Woody and Buzz's story with Andy so
perfectly that for a long time, [Pixar] never even talked about doing another Toy Story movie. But when
Andrew, Pete, Lee and I came up with this new idea, I just could not stop thinking about it."[41]

In March 2015, Pixar president Jim Morris described the film as a romantic comedy and said it would not be a
continuation of the third film.[42][43] The same month, Variety reported that Josh Cooley was named co-
director with Lasseter, having previously been head of story on Inside Out.[44] According to Lasseter, the film
was kept so secret that even Morris and his boss Edwin Catmull had no knowledge of it until the treatment
was finished. He stressed that "we do not do any sequel because we want to print money" but rather to tell a
new story.[45] Cooley later revealed that development of a fourth movie had actually begun shortly before the
release of the third movie.[46]

During the 2017 D23 Expo, Lasseter announced he was stepping down and leaving Cooley as sole director,
saying he could no longer commit to directing the film between his positions at Pixar, Walt Disney Animation
Studios, and Disneytoon Studios.[47][48] Jones and McCormack withdrew in November 2017, citing
"philosophical differences."[49]

By January 2018, Disney had confirmed that the screenplay had been written by Stephany Folsom, who
rewrote three quarters of Jones and McCormack's original script, according to Annie Potts.[50][51] Folsom had
collaborated on the screenplay with Stanton, who co-wrote the first two films.[52] According to Cooley, the
center of the film's updated screenplay was around the relationship of Woody and Bo Peep. Bo Peep had been
absent in Toy Story 3, explained narratively as Bo Peep having been given away. This had set the stage for the
conclusion of the third film, with Woody getting the idea to give Andy's toys to Bonnie. Cooley said that when
they thought about bringing Bo Peep back in the fourth film, it was not only to rekindle the romantic interest
between Woody and Bo Peep. Bo Peep's becoming a lost toy also reflects a fear Woody has had through the
series, and challenges his world view.[53][54] By September 28, 2018, recording for the film had begun. Allen
said that the film's story was "so emotional" that he "couldn't even get through the last scene."[55] Similarly,
Hanks called the film's ending scene a "moment in history."[56] On January 30, 2019, Hanks and Allen
finished recording their characters' voices.[57]

Casting

(L to R) Tony Hale, Keanu Reeves, Christina Hendricks, Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele voice new
characters in Toy Story 4.

Most of the previous voice actors, including Tom Hanks and Tim Allen, signed on to reprise their roles. Hanks
stated in May 2016 that he had recorded his first lines for Woody.[10][58] Annie Potts was confirmed to return
as Bo Peep, after being absent from Toy Story 3.[12] Potts was told by Pixar's then chief creative officer John
Lasseter that her character's absence in the third movie was attributed to them saving her for the fourth.[51]
Don Rickles intended to reprise his role as Mr. Potato Head, but died in April 2017,[59] before any lines were
recorded as the script was still being rewritten.[60] According to Cooley, Rickles' family contacted Pixar and
asked if there was any way to include him in the film. Pixar reviewed 25 years of archival material that Rickles
had participated in, including unused lines from the first three Toy Story films, video games and other related
media for the franchise, and other works, and re-purposed them for use within the film.[27]

Tony Hale was cast as Forky, a homemade toy suffering an existential crisis. Hale has performed roles before
with similar panicked characters, including Buster Bluth on Arrested Development and Gary Walsh on Veep.
When asked to voice Forky, Hale said, "A utensil's existential crisis? I'm in!"[61] Keegan-Michael Key and
Jordan Peele were cast as a pair of carnival prize plush toys named Ducky and Bunny. Cooley said that while
they brought them on to provide some improvised comedy to the film, "they were story motivated which
elevated Ducky and Bunny and the film to a level I never could have expected."[62] Additionally, Keanu
Reeves was announced to be voicing a character in the film[19] named Duke Caboom.[20] Reeves said he was
contacted by Pixar, much to his surprise, with the intention of voicing the part and letting him develop the
character's verbal mannerisms.[63] On March 22, 2019, Madeleine McGraw, who had previously voiced
Maddy McGear in Pixar's Cars 3, was revealed to be voicing Bonnie, who was voiced by Emily Hahn in the
previous film and other works.[17] Comedians Carol Burnett, Mel Brooks, Carl Reiner, and Betty White were
added to the cast to voice a set of four toys that Bonnie played with as a toddler but had since outgrown, acting
as "veteran" toys to help Woody prepare for when the same happens to him.[32]

Music and soundtrack

Randy Newman, who composed and wrote songs for the previous Toy Story 4
three films, was confirmed to be returning during the 2015 D23 Soundtrack album by Randy
Expo.[2][64] Director Josh Cooley said that he hired Newman to Newman
return because he "can't imagine making a fourth [film] without

Gabby, and Duke Caboom, with the latter's featuring accordions and Genre Score
mandolins to represent the character's memories of rejection.[7] He Length 72:37
also wrote a "subordinate theme" for Forky.[7] Newman also reused Label Walt Disney
his previous orchestral themes from the first three films. He wrote two
new songs for the film, titled "The Ballad of the Lonesome Cowboy" Pixar soundtrack chronology
and "I Can't Let You Throw Yourself Away", with Newman also Incredibles Toy Story Onward
performing the latter.[7] On June 5, 2019, Chris Stapleton's version of 2 4 (2020)
"Cowboy" was released as a single.[65] The film's soundtrack, (2018) (2019)
featuring Newman's score, Stapleton's and Newman's versions of the
two new songs, and Newman's "You've Got a Friend in Me", was Randy Newman chronology

Release

Theatrical

The film had its world premiere at the El Capitan Theatre in Los Angeles on June 11, 2019,[66] and was
released in the United States on June 21, 2019.[67] It was originally scheduled to be released in the United
States on June 16, 2017 and June 15, 2018, due to the respective releases of Cars 3 and Incredibles
2.[38][68][67] The film was shown in IMAX theaters.[69] It was the third time a Pixar film was theatrically
released without a leading short, after the original film and Coco (2017), though the latter film was initially
accompanied by the non-Pixar short Olaf's Frozen Adventure.[70]

Home media

Toy Story 4 was released digitally on October 1, 2019, and on DVD, Blu-ray, and Ultra HD Blu-ray on
October 8, 2019.[71] The film was released on Disney+ on February 5, 2020.[72]

Reception

Box office
Toy Story 4 grossed $434 million in the United States and Canada, and $639.4 million in other territories, for a
worldwide total of $1.073 billion.[5][6] The film had a worldwide opening of $244.5 million, the third biggest
for an animated film.[73] It crossed the billion dollar mark on August 13, 2019, becoming the 43rd film as well
as the fourth Pixar film to ever do so.[74] It was also the fifth film released by Disney in 2019, and sixth
overall, to cross the milestone, both records for a single year.[75] Deadline Hollywood calculated the net profit
of the film to be $368 million, when factoring together all expenses and revenues.[76]

In the United States and Canada, On May 28, 2019, Toy Story 4 set the records on Fandango for most tickets
sold by an animated film in its first 24 hours of pre-sales (besting Incredibles 2), while Atom Tickets reported it
sold nearly 50% more than the previous three highest-selling animated films combined did in their first day
(Incredibles 2, Ralph Breaks the Internet, and Hotel Transylvania 3: Summer Vacation).[77] The film opened
alongside Child's Play and Anna, and was projected to gross $140–160 million in its opening weekend, with
some predicting it could debut as high as $200 million. It played in 4,575 theaters, the second-most all-time
behind Avengers: Endgame.[78][79] Toy Story 4 made $47.4 million on its first day, including $12 million from
Thursday night previews, the second-highest amount for an animated film, behind Incredibles 2.[80] The film
went on to debut to $120.9 million over the weekend, finishing first at the box office.[81][82][83] Although
below projections, executives at Disney were satisfied with the debut, since it continued Pixar's "remarkable
consistency" at the box office and showed "proof of audiences' long-time love for the Toy Story
franchise."[84][85] Additionally, it was the best opening of the series, the biggest for a G-rated film and the
fourth-highest of all-time for an animated film.[73][83][86][87] In its second weekend, Toy Story 4 made $59.7
million and retained the top spot at the box office.[88][89][90] It grossed $33.9 million in its third weekend, by
which time it had been dethroned by newcomer Spider-Man: Far From Home.[91][92][93] In August 2019, the
film surpassed The Lion King (1994, $422 million including re-releases), which held the title for the last 25
years (1994-2003 and 2011-2019) to become the highest-grossing G-rated film of all-time domestically.[94]

In other territories, the film opened day-and-date with the U.S. in 37 countries (64% of its total market), and
was projected to gross around $100 million abroad for a global debut of $260 million.[78] In China, where the
film opened alongside a re-release of Spirited Away (2001), it was expected to debut to $15–20 million.[4]
Through September 2, 2019, the film's largest markets were Japan ($90.1 million), the United Kingdom ($79.9
million, third highest all-time for an animated film), Mexico ($72 million), Brazil ($32.5 million), France
($29.2 million), China ($29.1 million), Argentina ($28.9 million), Australia ($28.9 million), and South Korea
($24.7 million).[75][6]

Critical response

On review aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds an approval rating of 97% based on 449
reviews, with an average rating of 8.3/10. The website's critics consensus reads, "Heartwarming, funny, and
beautifully animated, Toy Story 4 manages the unlikely feat of extending – and perhaps concluding – a
practically perfect animated saga."[95] It ranks as the fifth-best film of the year and the seventh-best reviewed
film of all-time on Rotten Tomatoes.[96] Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned the film a score
of 84 out of 100 based on 57 critics, indicating "universal acclaim."[97] Audiences polled by CinemaScore
gave the film an average grade of "A" on an A+ to F scale, and 89% of those at PostTrak gave it a positive
score, with 75% saying they would definitely recommend it.[73]

The film received a four-star rating from Matt Zoller Seitz of RogerEbert.com, who wrote "This franchise has
demonstrated an impressive ability to beat the odds and reinvent itself, over a span of time long enough for two
generations to grow up in. It's a toy store of ideas, with new wonders in every aisle."[98] The Washington
Post's Ann Hornaday also gave the film four out of four stars and praised its "visually dazzling concoction of
wily schemes and daring adventures", as well as achieving "a near-perfect balance between familiarity and
novelty, action and emotion, and joyful hellos and more bittersweet goodbyes."[99] Peter DeBruge of Variety
wrote "Toy Story ushered in the era of computer-animated cartoon features, and the fourth movie wraps up the
saga beautifully. At least, for now."[33] The Daily Telegraph's Robbie Collin wrote "Toy Story 4 reaffirms that
Pixar, at their best, are like no other animation studio around."[100]

Writing for IndieWire, David Ehrlich gave the film a grade of B+ and wrote "Clever, breathless, and never
manic just for the sake of keeping your kids' eyes busy, the action in Toy Story 4 is character-driven and paced
to perfection."[101] Peter Travers of Rolling Stone, who gave the film four-and-a-half stars out of five stars,
praised its "visual pow, pinwheeling fun and soulful feeling" and lauded the voice performance of Tony Hale
as Forky.[102] Joe Morgenstern of The Wall Street Journal said that "the new film isn't flawless, but it's hugely
enjoyable and speaks, with bewitching buoyancy, to nothing less than the purpose of living and the mystery of
life."[103] While Peter Rainer of The Christian Science Monitor wrote that the film did not put him "through
the emotional wringer the way its predecessor did," he still gave it a grade of A- and said "it's consistently
inventive, funny, witty, and heartfelt. In other words, it's a lot better than it has any right to be. It's more than
good enough to justify its existence."[104]

Conversely, Kyle Smith of National Review called the film "the weakest effort in the series so far", finding its
subject matter was unclear and the motives of the characters opposed and undermined the series' previous
installments. He further critiqued the film for prioritizing its comedy while the story's underlying themes were
"tossed out haphazardly without much follow-through", saying "It may be an essential element of Disney's
corporate strategy, but as a film it's forgettable."[105]

Future

Possible sequel
In May 2019, producer Mark Nielsen confirmed that after Toy Story 4, Pixar would return its focus to making
original films instead of sequels for a while.[1] On The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Tom Hanks stated that the film
would be the final film in the series. He said to Ellen DeGeneres that Tim Allen had "warned [him] about the
emotional final goodbye between [their characters] Woody and Buzz [Lightyear in Toy Story 4]."[129]
However, Nielsen did not rule out a possibility of a fifth film, stating, "Every film we make, we treat it like it's
the first and the last film we're ever going to make, so you force yourself to make it hold up. You don't get in
over your skis. Whether there's another one? I don't know. If there is, it's tomorrow's problem."[130] Shortly
after the fourth film's release, Annie Potts said that despite her not knowing if another film would be made, she
believes a lot of fans will be interested to see what the toys do next.[131] A few months before the film's
release, Allen hinted that a fifth film is possible, while also expressing interest in doing another film, stating,
"Once you've gotten to four, you're passed that trilogy [point], so I don't see any reason why they wouldn't do
it, certainly. If you ask me, I'd say do five."[132]

Spin-off

On December 10, 2020, Pete Docter announced that a prequel spin-off of the main series of films entitled
Lightyear would be released on June 17, 2022. It will star Chris Evans as the voice of a human Buzz
Lightyear, replacing Tim Allen, and will focus on Buzz's in-universe backstory before he became a famous
toy.[133]

Short film

A short film titled Lamp Life reveals Bo Peep's whereabouts between leaving and reuniting with Woody.[134]
The short was released on Disney+ on January 31, 2020.[135]

Series

A 10-episode short-form educational series, Forky Asks a Question, debuted exclusively on the Disney+
streaming service upon its launch on November 12, 2019.[136] It focuses mainly on Forky, but other Toy Story
characters such as Rex, Hamm, Trixie, Buttercup, and Mr. Pricklepants also make appearances.

Lawsuit
On September 23, 2020, Evel Knievel's son Robbie Knievel sued both Disney and Pixar over the character
Duke Caboom, saying that his father’s likeness was used for the character without
permission.[137][138][139][140]

Notes
a. This is the first posthumous film performance by Rickles, who died in early 2017 and appears
through the use of previously-recorded material.[27]
b. Tied with The Lion King.
