I know the name of the character was Karen Beverly but i have no idea who that was in the movie. Can anyone tell me?

Karen Beverly is the female version of Forky that appears at the end of the movie. I didn't know it either, but I googled Karen Beverly and I found this. I guess they kept who Melissa Villaseñor voiced a secret because her character appears at the very end and is meant to be a surprise for the audience.

Thanks

Here's my ranking:

#1. Toy Story 2
#2. Toy Story
#3. Toy Story 3
#4. Toy Story 4

All of them are quite enjoyable and entertaining despite me having issues with certain elements in each entry. It's surprising they've been able to maintain such a high level of quality through the decades. How many quadrilogies have been able to achieve that? No other comes to mind.

That is amazing!!! I'm obsessed with Bonnie's toys and am terrified of birds so that is so right up my alley. I truly wish we got even just a little more time with Bonnie's toys in TS4.

Considering how we got to see Andy's playtime in Toy Story 3 (and the first one as well) open up the film, it would have been nice to see Bonnie get the same treatment. Especially to see more of Pricklepants since for some reason, he doesn't even go on the road trip with the rest of them.

“Lonesome Cowboy” — about Woody making the transition from Andy to new owner Bonnie — was originally intended as the opening song, Newman reveals, but changing versions of the earliest scenes resulted in a reprise of the classic “You’ve Got a Friend in Me” instead.

I wasn't a fan of the song so I'm glad they left it for the end credits.

So in the original ending Woody both left his friends and didn't end up with Bo? Yikes.

I feel like this one hasn't made as much of an impact as the rest of the films have ? Even to the extent of what happened to Woody now being away from the gang, I thought that would be major but it doesn't really seem to have had any impact at all.

Do you mean within the film itself, or the greater Toy Story universe, like future shorts/specials/films? Or on the fans? I was affected by TS4...I hadn't ugly cried so hard in years at the end of the film. People also wonder, though, how long they'll be separated for (if there will be future shorts, specials, films.. ), so fans might be skeptical that the ending "means much of anything"... Sorry if that made no sense...I just woke up..

OMG, you guys!!!!!!! I would have LOVED to see McDimples + Tickles!!! I'm still obsessed with her, and I would have loved her to have a dog!!!!! Oh, I wish he were in the film!!! There better be deleted scenes released of him!!!!!

Personally I feel it's because it doesn't mean anything.

Disney can easily make a Toy Story 5 that could bend or change whatever #4 spoke about. I can be emotional about #4 (or 3, or 2...), But at this point I don't sense permanence. This isn't a final hurrah and it's hard to be attached to something you can just feel will get some sequel or spin-off.

Toy Story 4 has surpassed Toy Story 3 at the global box office. It's currently the second highest-grossing Pixar film. Numbers courtesy of Box Office Mojo.

Worldwide Box Office

01. Incredibles 2: $1,242,805,359
02. Toy Story 4: $1,073,394,593
03. Toy Story 3: $1,066,969,703
04. Finding Dory: $1,028,570,889
05. Finding Nemo: $940,335,536

I'm so impressed that even all these years later, Nemo grossed that much.

I got the Toy Story 4 Blu-Ray/4K and it's weird how it features less bonus features compared to other Pixar releases. The deleted scenes are pretty substantial though and the director even mentions that there's enough material to make 10 Toy Story 4s so I'm sure we could have gotten even more. The alternate ending is interesting because I didn't realize they considered an ending where Woody wouldn't leave Buzz but would leave Bo. I'm much happier with the ending we got though.

For Your Consideration webpage and ads. It looks like Disney's submitting "I Can't Let You Throw Yourself Away" performed by Randy Newman instead of "The Ballad of the Lonesome Cowboy" performed by Chris Stapleton. I think that's a mistake as the latter is the better song of the two and it has the additional advantage of not being sung by Newman.

The Academy's rules specify that submitted songs have to be "used in the body of the motion picture or as the first music cue in the end credits." "Lonesome Cowboy" is the second piece of music played during the end credits, so it's likely ineligible.

As for whether "I Can't Let You Throw Yourself Away" is at an disadvantage because Randy Newman performs it, that didn't seem right to me, because he's obviously loved by the music branch as proven by his many nominations. But then I actually looked it up and only five out of his twelve original song nominations (for Parenthood, The Paper, Toy Story, Meet the Parents and Toy Story 3) were for songs he himself performed within the movie.

His other seven nominated songs were performed by Jennifer Warnes, Peter Gabriel, Sarah McLachlan, John Goodman & Billy Crystal, James Taylor, Dr. John and Anika Noni Rose. I still don't think Newman singing a song has an effect on a potential nomination, but these stats are nonetheless interesting.
