"I am not a toy, I was made for soups, salads, maybe chili, and then the trash. Freedom!" - Forky

Why watch this? It's hard to believe, but this franchise remains great!

Plot Summary: When Bonnie creates a reluctant new toy named Forky from craft supplies, Woody takes it upon himself to protect the newcomer during a family road trip. After Forky runs away, Woody's rescue mission leads him to an unexpected reunion with his old friend Bo Peep, who has embraced a new life as a lost toy. Torn between his loyalty to his child and a newfound sense of freedom, Woody must decide where his future truly lies.

Dad's Preview: Where could this film franchise to after the stellar Toy Story 3 (2010)? The answer is keep doing what works, and reinvent. This time around, our favorite toys set out on another adventure to rescue the least of them, a craft-day-enhanced spork named Forky. At this point, we know that it's all going to fine, but there are honestly some tense moments here. I really enjoyed a new character voiced by Keanu Reeves named "Duke Caboom", a motorcycle daredevil who helps save the day. As expected, the film is fun and heart-warming, like visiting your grandparents farm in the summertime.
