Bonnie loves all her new (at\nleast new for her) toys, but she doesn&#8217;t play with Woody often. He feels sad\nbut doesn&#8217;t want to show it.

But\nthis film focuses on a completely different character, Bonnie, and not on Andy.\nWoody will go to infinity and beyond to rescue Forky.

The\nadventurous journey turns into an unexpected reunion as Woody\u2019s slight detour\nleads him to his long-lost friend Bo Peep (Annie Potts).

I was taken back by all the colors and little details which make it\nso believable. For example, in one scene the gang is at an actual carnival. The\nrides and games seem to so real, I definitely felt as if I was part of the joy\nride.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My favorite\ncharacter is undeniably Forky, because he brings excitement and laughter to the\nfilm. I love how Forky creates a plan and fails in a hilarious way, because\nWoody saves the day for Bonnie. If I could give Forky two character traits, it\nwould be outrageous and funny. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My favorite\nscene from <em>Toy Story 4<\/em> is when Woody encounters Bo Peep after ten years\nand he introduces himself to her new friends. When he tries to give her a hug,\na motorized car skunk comes through with Bo Peep\u2019s sheep controlling the car. Woody\u2019s\nreaction is priceless.
