\n\tTony Hale<\/a>\u00a0admits he didn\u2019t know he actually made it in the final cut of Toy Story 4<\/a> until the film\u2019s trailer was released.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe actor who voices Forky in the 2019 animated pic<\/a> recently told People magazine<\/a> that he worried he might have been replaced by a \u201chuge star\u201d in the movie, despite reading for the role.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cIt wasn\u2019t until I heard my voice on\u00a0the\u00a0Toy Story 4\u00a0trailer\u00a0that I actually thought I was still in it. It wasn\u2019t until then,\u201d Hale said. \u201cThe whole time I was like, \u2018They\u2019re going to cut me. They\u2019re going to replace me with some huge star.’\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Veep star actually had a notable role in the Oscar-winning movie, as Toy Story 4 follows his new toy, a talking spork called Forky, who joins Woody (Tom Hanks) and the gang on a road trip alongside old and new friends, as they learn how big the world can be for a toy.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWhen you were playing in a world of\u00a0Forky from\u00a0Toy Story, it means just the power of simplicity. That\u2019s why children\u2019s books are so popular. I mean, sometimes adults gravitate to children\u2019s books because of the simplicity,\u201d Hale said of the character. \u201cWhat I loved is [Forky] was the first toy that was made by a kid. So talk about simplicity. I mean, it was like a spork and some pipe cleaner arms, some popsicle feet.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tHe added, \u201cHe just had this kind of wide-eyed simplicity and newness to him that was just so beautiful.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tAs for the upcoming Toy Story 5<\/a><\/a>, which is set to hit theaters on June 19, 2026, the Arrested Development alum briefly teased that the theme centers on toys vs. technology.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThey give you pieces of the script, and so I saw glimpses, but the glimpses I saw are pretty cool,\u201d Hale said. \u201cI don\u2019t want to lose the surprise. I want to be completely surprised with\u00a0Toy Story 5.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tony Hale\u00a0admits he didn\u2019t know he actually made it in the final cut of Toy Story 4 until…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":91228,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[6460,96,2839,45490,45491,45492,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-91227","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-movies","tag-disney","tag-entertainment","tag-movies","tag-tony-hale","tag-toy-story-4","tag-toy-story-5","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/91227","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=91227"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/91227\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/91228"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=91227"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=91227"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=91227"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
