Toy Story 4 Used Arrested Development Clips To Explain Forky To Tony Hale
Theres been a lot of talk about the new characters coming to the Toy Story universe in recent months, particularly given big names like Keanu Reeves, Christina Hendricks and Tony Hale are attached. Among those characters is a little guy name Forky, who is created by Bonnie on her first day of school out of trash. The soon-to-be-enlightened trash is voiced by the aforementioned Tony Hale, who shared with CinemaBlend at a recent press day that figuring out how to voice Forky was actually fairly easy thanks to a cool Pixar trick.
After getting over the shock of being asked to appear in a Pixar movie, Tony Hale revealed the powers that be at Pixar actually used voice clips of other acting gigs, including Arrested Development and Veep, to share how the studio hoped the character would look and sound in the final product.
But dont take it from me, you can hear more from Tony Hale on the topic with our exclusive interview, below.
During an interview with CinemaBlend while in Orlando for a recent Toy Story 4 press day, Tony Hale shared with us the special way Pixar pitched Forky to him, also mentioning that it was an easy sell. The actor also told us that he was just overwhelmed to be invited to join the animated voice team on Toy Story 4, also noting that perhaps a spork was not what he had in mind initially, although it all seems to have worked out very well for both the actor and the Pixar creative team. He said:
Its the same reaction I have now, overwhelmed. Forky and I really share that. He asks, Why am I here? I ask, How did I get here? I dont know whats happening. But they brought me up to Pixar and showed me a picture of a spork and I was kind of like, OK thats not what I was thinking, but lets go with it. Pixar and their magic.
He later went on to say that he wasnt sure what he was expecting from the voice gig, but it definitely wasnt to see a spork animated on a screen with his own voice from Arrested Development emanating out of it. Yes, this is really how the pitch happened. Per Hale:
I say it wasnt what I was thinking but if Im honest I probably wasnt thinking at all because I was so astonished that I was even there. I dont really remember that first meeting. I remember talking through Forky and I also remember they took clips from Arrested Development and clips from Veep and put it in animated Forky just to kind of see how he would react. And I was like, I love that.
Bonnie had to fall in love with the spork, so the character had to be one the audience could fall in love with too, and first that meant selling Tony Hale on the role.
Looking into how Pixar pitched the idea to the actor, Id assume clips from Veep in particular might have been a little too outrageous to really fit into the goal for the G-rated Pixar movie, but the sentiment is still pretty cool, particularly given that some of Tony Hales other characters do share commonalities. Still, somehow I cant see Pixar using a clip of Forky asking Veeps Jonah if he looks like "a pimp," although a clip with Forky noting I was made to understand that there would be grilled cheese sandwiches here or Im a monster! could definitely be more on brand for the little spork.

In fact, the actor also spoke out about how Forky tends to follow a through line a lot of his other characters have exhibited over the years: theyre nervous.
Hes just, he has no flexibility like me, we have that in common. But hes just incredibly simple and gullible and kind of nervousthat tends to be a through line in the characters Ive done.
Given the nature of characters like Buster Bluth and Gary Walsh, it makes a certain amount of sense those were the roles the Pixar team would have chosen when putting together footage in order to share the expectations for Forky in Toy Story 4.
Hearing thats how Pixar sold Tony Hale on the gig isnt shocking news if you know a lot of hot facts about Pixar, however. In fact, its a trick that Pixar has used for years in order to help actors to understand and voice their animated counterparts to their full potential.
Previously, weve heard from Toy Storys own Tom Hanks regarding how Pixar pitched him on the role of Woody so many years ago when the original movie was just coming together. Hanks has said the company used a sample of the animation mixed with his vocals from Turner and Hooch to get him on board for the role playing the animated cowboy toy. It makes me wonder what Christina Hendricks and other actors related to Toy Story 4 were also able to see while being pitched.
It may be a repeat trick, but its sure an effective one.
Granted, it's not a quick process to go from animated AD clips to the big screen. Various people related to the production also mentioned it took several years to go from script to finished product. Now, we're nearing the finish line, however. In fact, you can hear Tony Hale as new character Forky in the Toy Story 4 trailer right now, or catch the fully charming movie (at least per the critics!) when it hits theaters on June 21st although there doesnt look to be a Pixar short this time around, which would be a first for Pixar since 1995.
Of course, Arrested Development can also be revisited on Netflix and Veep just finished its run on HBO, with past episodes still available. For more on Toy Story 4 take a look at our full guide.
