Disney has released finalToy Story 4trailer that offers closer look at the highly anticipated and long-in-the-works sequel, along with a couple of new images. The follow-up continues the beloved Pixar franchise after the concluding events ofToy Story 3, which found Andy giving his toys away to youngster Bonnie. InToy Story 4, the characters embark on an all-new adventure that begins Bonnie’s room, which involves new character Forky—a spork who’s been made into a toy, and who now faces an existential crisis.Tony HaleofVeepandArrested Developmentfame voices the new character.
While embarking on a summer vacation, Forky gets lost and Woody goes after him, eventually stumbling upon an antiques store where he discovers Bo Peep (Annie Potts), who’s been living among lost toys—including a stuntman named Duke Caboom, voiced byKeanu Reeves.
This sequel has actually been a long time coming. The film was officially confirmed in 2014 with then studio headJohn Lasseterset to direct from a screenplay byRashida JonesandWill McCormack, based on an original idea from Pixar veteranAndrew Stanton(Finding Nemo). However, the development process was long and fraught, with Jones and McCormack eventually leaving the project over philosophical differences, Lasseter vacating the director’s chair, and the story presumably being reconceived. The delays forced Pixar to push the film off of its 2017 and later 2018 release dates, asIncredibles 2—which was originally set for release in 2019—was bumped up nearly an entire year to fill the void.
This final iteration findsInside Outco-writerJosh Cooleymaking his feature directorial debut withJonas Rivera(Inside Out,Up) andMark Nielsenproducing. This final trailer offers an even closer look at the antics of the toys in the film, and it’s clear that whileToy Story 3may have been a bit of a nostalgia play aimed at young adults who grew up with the franchise,Toy Story 4is pretty squarely aimed at an entirely new generation of kids—complete with a G rating.

Here’s the official synopsis forToy Story 4:
Woody (voice of Tom Hanks) 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. So, when Bonnie’s beloved new craft-project-turned-toy, Forky (voice of Tony Hale), declares himself as “trash” and not a toy, Woody takes it upon himself to show Forky why he should embrace being a toy. But when Bonnie takes the whole gang on her family’s road trip excursion, Woody ends up on an unexpected detour that includes a reunion with his long-lost friend Bo Peep (voice of Annie Potts). After years of being on her own, Bo’s adventurous spirit and life on the road belie her delicate porcelain exterior. As Woody and Bo realize they’re worlds apart when it comes to life as a toy, they soon come to find that’s the least of their worries. Directed by Josh Cooley (“Riley’s First Date?”), and produced by Mark Nielsen (associate producer “Inside Out”) and Jonas Rivera (“Inside Out,” “Up”), Disney and Pixar’s “Toy Story 4” ventures to U.S. theaters on June 24, 2025.
