Forky Asks a Question

Post by Sotiris »

The series of shorts will premiere on Disney+.
Forky Asks a Question

Forky, from Disney and Pixar’s Toy Story 4, is a craft project created from trash, so he has important questions about how the world works, such as: What is love? What is time? And of course, the deepest question of all, What is cheese? He explores all of these questions and more in a series of 10 shorts.

I don't think I was expecting other Toy Story characters; this looks great!

This is one of the shows I'm most looking forward to. I wonder if Buzz and Jessie will make appearances.

Me neither, I'm more exited for this now. And Forky is a great character, so I'm glad we'll get to see more of him. I wonder how long each episode will be. I guess not very long, maybe less than five minutes.

And Bob Peterson revealed on Twitter that he directed and wrote the series, which ups my excitement. It's great to see him working on a new project at Pixar. Hopefully, he will also get the chance to direct and finish a movie, too, now with Pete Docter in charge.

This seems fun! I wasn't particularly keen on Forky -I felt that he talked too frequently and eloquently for a character who was so naive- but I think he could be endearing with his cluelessness evident in more ways.

I didn't know Bob Peterson directed it. I'm glad he's been given a new project to work on. I too hope he gets to direct his own movie.

Synopses for the first three episodes:
TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 12
“What is money?”

Hamm attempts to give Forky a lesson on how the US monetary system works.

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 15
“What is a friend?”

Forky shares his thoughts on what makes a good friend based on his limited exposure to the insides of Bonnie’s house.

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 22
“What is art?”

Mr. Pricklepants mentors Forky about the complexities of being an actor and the art of a convincing performance

And, according to Tony Hale, who provides the voice of Forky, the episodes are four minutes long.

I've finally been able to watch the series and you're right, Forky is hilarious in it. I hope they make more episodes.

Speaking of Pixar shorts, I think if you search for Lamp Life again, Kyle, you'll be able to find it in English now.

Apparently, this is the first Emmy nomination for Pixar which is odd considering they produced a couple of Toy Story TV specials. Update: It turns out it's actually the studio's second Emmy nomination.

The animation studio was nominated by the Television Academy just once before, in 2018, for the interactive program Coco VR.
