Woody is reunited with Bo Peep in the first full trailer for Toy Story 4
Pixar is ready to make you cry — and possibly have an existential crisis — for the fourth time in a row with Toy Story 4.
Disney on Monday debuted the first full trailer for the animated sequel, in which we see that Bonnie has created a homemade toy out of a spork, and in the latest instance of this series tackling some surprisingly disturbing aspects of life as a toy, it comes to life and begins to ask questions like "Why am I alive?" When Forky runs away, Woody goes after him.
This leads him to reunite with Bo Peep, who disappeared sometime between the events of Toy Story 2 and Toy Story 3 and who Woody finds in an antique shop surrounded by creepy, Goosebumps-style ventriloquist dummies. Although Woody wants to return Bo Peep and Forky to Bonnie, seeing what life is like for toys at a carnival appears to leave him questioning whether they should leave at all. In that way, the plot seems fairly similar to Toy Story 2, which also involved Woody meeting another group of toys and nearly deciding not to return home.

Pixar years ago teased Toy Story 4 as a love story between Woody and Bo Peep, and that still appears to be the case, although some fans are already theorizing that she'll turn out to be the villain of the film — or that she'll be revealed to be an entirely different toy. The trailer also teases flashbacks of Andy, the toys' owner from the first three films, who is seen playing with Buzz and Jessie.
Toy Story 4 hits theaters on June 21. Watch the trailer below. Brendan Morrow
