Toy Story 4

Woody has always been sure of his place in the world and that his most important job is to take care of his child, whether it’s Andy or Bonnie. So when Bonnie’s new beloved toy character Forky, made by herself, declares herself to be “junk” instead of a toy, Woody decides to show Forky why it should value its status as a child’s toy.

When Bonnie and her family take the whole toy gang on a car vacation, Woody gets lost on an unexpected side path, which leads to a happy reunion with his old friend Bo Peep. Although the fragile porcelain outer shell might suggest otherwise, the lonely years on the road have brought a lot of ruggedness and a spirit of adventure to this character. When Woody and Bo then notice that their toy lives are from completely different worlds, they have to say in the same breath that it seems to be the least of their worries at that moment.

Directed by Josh Cooley. As original voice actors, e.g. Tom Hanks, Tim Allen and Annie Potts.
