I have some good news for you when it comes to the newDisney+series,Forky Asks a Question: If you lovedTony Hale’s new cobbled-together character fromToy Story 4, you’re in luck! He’s back with a dim-witted vengeance in this series of Pixar-animated shorts that explore all sorts of mundane mysteries that are fascinating to the new creation. And if you, like me, found Forky to be a bit taxing on the old nerves, the good news here is that you can skip this series and watch one of the billion other things available on Disney+.
Though this series features voice work by Hale, along with Pixar veteransBob PetersonandJohn Ratzenbergerfor starters, and the incredibly polished and iconic world ofToy Story, it feels like a Blu-ray bonus feature that’s been stretched into its own thing. It’s fine as an extra bit of fun but falls short as a standalone series. Now that’s not to rob Forky (or his animators) of his particular brand of physical comedy; every time he wobbles around or his pipe cleaner arms slide up and down, even this cold heart of mine warms a bit. It just feels like an old vaudeville act that’s past its prime. I’ve only seen two of the 10 available episodes, so maybe this one warms up a bit once Forky gets going, but for me, it’s a pass.
Forky Asks a Questionwill be available on Disney+ on November 12th.Click herefor a list of everything else on Disney+ on Launch Day.
For an idea of what the series is all about, here’s the trailer:
All of life’s greatest questions—answered. Sort of. Forky Asks A Question arrives Nov. 12 only on Disney+.
Disney+ is the ultimate streaming destination for entertainment from Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, and National Geographic. Disney+ will launch in the U.S. on July 04, 2025 for $6.99 per month.
And here’s the official synopsis:
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 called FORKY ASKS A QUESTION, exclusively on Disney +.
