The first teaser trailer for Disney’s Toy Story 4 is out and the new character ‘Forky’ has already taken the internet by storm. The teaser features all the main toy characters from the previous instalment of the franchise, floating through the air with Joni Mitchell’s ‘Both Sides Now’ playing in the background. Midway through the pleasant scene, Forky screams, “I don’t belong here!” Forky, a makeshift toy that was formally a spork, through its panicked response, sets off a chain reaction sending the other toys spinning and tripping. “I’m not a toy!” Forky screams in the end. According to E! Online, the latest installment of the film will follow Forky, a spork brought to life as a craft-project using googly eyes and pipe cleaner, on its journey. It is a story about how Forky, formally a utensil, feels terribly out of place in a room full of toys. Produced by Mark Nielsen and Jonas Rivera, the animated film is scheduled to release on June 21, 2019.
