Forky is a character in the Disney-Pixar Toy Story franchise, first appearing as the tritagonist of Toy Story 4. He is a handcrafted toy from a plastic spork by Bonnie Anderson and previously insisted that he's trash and not a toy. He first appeared as one of the two tritagonists (alongside Buzz Lightyear) of its fourth film Toy Story 4.
He later became the titular main protagonist of the Disney+ short spin-off film series Forky Asks a Question. He is set to return in the upcoming fifth Toy Story movie Toy Story 5 in some capacity.
He is a sentient spork created by Bonnie during her kindergarten orientation who is unsure of his role as a toy. Bonnie made Forky out of the things Woody brought to her, gaining sentience from his creation.
Trivia[]
- Because Forky was not made with knees, he waddles. Ironically his Disney on Ice costume appearance does have knees so he could walk and skate properly.
- The spoon and fork he's holding in his teaser poster say Pizza Planet on them.
- His left foot later had a rainbow sticker added.
- Forky holding the utensils also could be a reference to how WALL-E placed a spork between the spoons and forks.
- He is the second spork to appear in a Pixar film, the first one being in WALL-E.
- Forky received instant popularity in online communities shortly after his reveal, with many people claiming to relate to his personality and insecurities.
- Forky is the first toy character in the Toy Story series to be hand-crafted, the second being Karen Beverly (a.k.a. "Knifey"), who was also created by Bonnie Anderson.
- Even after existing for about a year, Forky still doesn't know how he is alive.
- Forky is a spork from Pizza Planet (the official Funko POP! says "Pizza Planet" on the back).
- Along with a majority of Bonnie's toys, despite being a main character in the fourth film, Forky doesn't interact with the other main characters. He only meets Gabby Gabby, The Bensons, and Bo Peep (very briefly).
- Like Buzz, he didn't like to be called toy until he knows the meaning of being one.
- In Forky Asks a Question, out of all the past Toy Story characters Forky asks questions, he doesn't ask any characters introduced in Toy Story 2. Hamm and Rex both debuted in the original Toy Story while Mr. Pricklepants, Buttercup, Trixie, Peas-in-a-Pod and Dolly all debuted in Toy Story 3.
