Disney recalls Forky toy due to choking hazard, elegantly setting up the plot of Toy Story 5
The Toy Story movies have covered pretty much every aspect of a toy’s life, from getting replaced by a superior spaceman toy, getting stolen by a creepy toy collector, getting terrorized by an evil bear and nearly incinerated, and then passing on your toy knowledge to the next generation of toys made out of garbage, but one thing they’ve never had to deal with is the terror of getting recalled. Just imagine it: Sentient toys getting tossed into a bin with thousands of identical toys, none of which know where they are or why they’re there, and before they can plot some thrilling escape they’re all destroyed—or shipped off to a less discriminating toy market. Well, you no longer have to imagine it, because that dark fate is exactly what a real-life Forky toy is going to suffer through now.
