Toy Story 4 Plot:

Little is currently known about the Toy Story 4 plot as it has been reportedly rewritten at least once during its long production period (it was originally scheduled to open in 2017). We do know the latest installment will include many of our favorite franchise characters including Woody, Jessie, Buzz Lightyear and a few new characters from Bonnie’s toy collection including Forky (voiced by Tony Hale).

Here is Director Josh Cooley’s description of the new Forky character:

“A toy’s purpose is to be there for its child. But what about toys that are made out of other objects? Forky is a toy that Bonnie made out of a disposable spork, so he’s facing a crisis. He wants to fulfill his purpose as a spork, but now has a new toy purpose thrust upon him.” (source)

Update 2/6/18: Disney has given us a bit more info about the Toy Story 4 plot as a supplement to their latest video teaser release:

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. (source)
