Dominated by new character Forky, a spork having an existential crisis, the latest trailer may reveal the institution that launched Pixar is running into trouble
Laying into Toy Story is a bit like dissing the Beatles or picking holes in a Picasso painting. The Pixar series is an institution, a gilded saga that ushered in the modern era of CGI animation and introduced us to some of the most beloved characters of all time in the form of Tom Hanks’ rootin’ tootin’ cowboy Woody and his ever-expanding motley gang of plastic playmates. Without John Lasseter’s 1995 film we wouldn’t have The Incredibles, Wreck It Ralph or the Despicable Me films, Disney might still be putting out second-rate sequels to its classic hand-drawn fare, and Batman would exist only in live action form. It’s enough to make one shudder at the very thought.
