Who are the new Toy Story characters?
The fourth Toy Story film will feature some new characters.
The first teaser trailer showed a “toy” called forky – a plastic fork with pipe cleaners for arms who has a bit of an identity crisis since he’s more of a craft project.
He will be voiced by Tony Hale who played Buster on Arrested Development.
Ducky and Bunny, two carnival prizes will also join the cast of the new movie and they are voiced by Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele.
Oscar-winner Patricia Arquette and Keanu Reeves have also been cast. Keanu voices a character called Duke Caboom while Patricia plays Harmony’s Mum.
Meanwhile Christina Hendricks voices Gabby Gabby and Betty White stars as Bitey White.

What have the critics said about Toy Story 4?
The Guardian gave the film three stars, stating: “It may only be a repeat of earlier ideas and plotlines, but compare it to the fourth films in other franchises and Pixar’s latest is an amusing and charming gem.”
While The Hollywood Reporter says: “Ultimately, what gives Toy Story 4 genuine heft is that it’s a tale of second chances and characters who take advantage of them. Like its predecessors, the film is rambunctious, noisy, genial, unpretentious, action-packed and old-fashioned in a very good way.”
Empire gave the film four stars, writing: “This fourth Toy Story isn’t as essential as the previous films in the series, but there’s no denying the joy of seeing Woody and friends back in action, while once again it’ll likely leave you with a tear in your eye.”
