Toy Story 4

The Quizzical eyes of 'Forky'

'Forky' to me represents the most adorable toy conjured by Pixar. Take a fork and fit it with two eyes devoid of symmetry and  allow those eyeballs to toggle within the boundaries of the eyes in innumerable directions. A lovable lip that seems to take any shape aligned with the  movement of the eyeballs. An ice cream wooden spoon broken into two that enables a Chaplinesque walk and the coarse woolen thread that serves as those hands dangling in the middle of nowhere.

Forky sees itself as trash, devoid of self worth.

A slice of Forky's self worth as he flies out in search of becoming a part of the trash.

"I am not a toy. I was made for soup, salad, maybe chili, and then the trash"

Here is Woody's  perspective as Forky questions as to why he is alive

"You’re Bonnie’s toy. You are going to help create happy memories that will last for the rest of her life."

Toy Story 4, can as well, pass of as a Kids story for all adults. A fascinating story of rejection, acceptance  self worth, identity, loyalty, sacrifice, friendship, team effort and above all the miracle of our very existence.

If you stay long enough after the end credits start rolling in( not sure if  remember the exact words), you could catch up with these pearls

We are trash

We are toys.

How are we alive?

No temptation...I could not resist replacing Toys with Humans... and think about the miracle of our existence.

A mandatory watch. Allow yourself to indulge into the sheer joy  of creativity and savour the wisdom of the toys.
