* People say that Woody was surprisingly quick to forgive Gabby Gabby after some of her villainous actions and that it was crazy for him to give up his voicebox, but I think he did the smart thing to help her out, because imagine if Woody wasn't the AllLovingHero he was, held a grudge against her, and didn't help her find a kid. She was already committing morally questionable acts out of desperation for a voicebox, but if the abandonment continued, it's likely she would have eventually turned into another Lotso.

* After making a pit stop at a Poultry Palace, why didn't Bonnie gain a Fun Meal toy? Even if the toy just had one or two lines in the RV and no effect on the plot, it would have made sense.
** FridgeBrilliance: The toy didn't have a face on it. Alternatively, maybe she just didn't order a Fun Meal.

* Andy gave Bonnie the toy that had the most sentimental value for him, asking her, "You think you can take care of him for me?" -- how will he feel the next time he bumps into her while visiting his hometown and finds out she just... lost him? And since Bonnie nodded, promising she ''would'' take care of him, even if she won't be too upset about losing her no-longer-interesting cowboy doll, she'll probably initially feel very guilty about breaking her promise to her friend.

* WordOfGod has confirmed that Giggle Mcdimples was inspired by Jiminy Cricket from {{Disney/Pinocchio}}. Jiminy's role in that movie was the "conscience" of a toy that had come to life. Toy Story 4 also plays around with toys listening to their "inner voice."
** Speaking of consciences, the way Buzz interprets the "inner voice" as coming from his voicebox actually foreshadows the fate of Gabby Gabby. Without a working voicebox, Gabby is willing to steal one from another toy with little regard for that toy's option, because she has no "conscience!" But when she meets Woody, who willingly gives his voicebox up, Gabby starts to become a much more sympathetic and likeable character. Woody gave Gabby an "inner voice" both figuratively and literally!

* Imagine if Bo Peep ''didn't'' show up back in Woody's life when she did. Woody would've still continue to stay with Bonnie and stay loyal to her even if it's clear that Bonnie is not going to play with him again. It would've killed him inside every day to see Bonnie ignored him in favor of playing with other toys, and he's going to stay like that until Bonnie grows up, donated all her toys to another kid, and the cycle begins again. Bo Peep showing up and introducing Woody to a new lifestyle that allows him to make ''more than one'' child happy while also letting him be played with again is actually good for him in the long run. If not, there's no telling when Woody will finally break from all the strain of loving a kid who doesn't love him back. At best, he'll be a depressed cynic toy. At worst, he might've turned out to be someone like [[CompleteMonster Lotso]].

* There's a lovely BookEnds considering antagonists, or rather fake ones. The first movie showed scary, hybrid toys... [[GoodAllAlong who fixed Buzz and helped Woody rescue him from Sid]]. This movie has Gabby Gabby who is seemingly obsessed with taking Woody's voice box, and her minions the Bensons are [[CreepyDoll uncanny ventriloquist dummies]]. But Gabby Gabby turns out to be a sympathetic character who just wants Harmony to love her. And the Bensons turn out to be simply loyal servants who are generally benign, even for thugs. So in a sense, the tetralogy ends with seemingly scary toys who were GoodAllAlong.

* At first, it would seem like it was [[AllForNothing pointless]] of Andy to give Woody to Bonnie when she would eventually forget Woody (to the point where he wasn't missed). ''But'' there was a point! Woody left his mark on Bonnie's life by indirectly helping her create Forky. He helped make someone for her that would be there for her the way Woody was there for Andy.

* Think about everybody's goals and conclusions: Woody wants to reunite with Bonnie and stays with Bo. Bunny and Ducky want a kid so much, they're willing to keep Buzz away from one, and end up helping other toys find kids. Meanwhile, Forky wants to be thrown away, and ends up with Bonnie.
* Forky calls the merry-go-round a carousal because he's been hanging out with Gabby Gabby, who was made in the 50s.

** Also, regarding Bo's arm. She's gotten used to it falling off now and came to terms with it, but imagine her reaction when it happened the first time? Remember how Woody briefly loses it after his arm was torn off in the second film and how Buzz entered a HeroicBSOD after his arm got torn off in his failed attempt to fly? Imagine Bo going through it as well.

* Bo's arm coming off is played for laughs, but when her sheep fall in the antique shop a part of them falls off. All it'd take is one bad fall or casual instance like Bonnie's dad stepping on Woody's head to wreck Bo and her sheep.

* Woody wanting to help Forky learn to be Bonnie's toy makes a lot more sense than it appears on the surface; Woody got Bonnie the materials to make Forky in order to help her out with kindergarten orientation. Or in other words, Woody is so protective of Forky because he's Forky's father.


Added DiffLines:

* If you were ever worried about the fragility of Woody's voice box in previous films, consider this one, where it turns out that, at ''any'' point, it could have been easily '''ripped out''' just by pulling on the string too hard.

* Why is Bo Peep so different from how she used to act, even in the flashback? It's influence from Jessie. That's why Bo cared so much to find out Jessie was still there.

* In the final trailer, Ducky and Bunny suggest "the ol' plush rush" - in which they would come to life and attack the store's owner - as a method to retrieve the key. It immediately implies that they have done this sort of thing before. Somebody has been attacked by living plush toys and probably went crazy as a result.

Removing speculating Fridge Brilliance


[[folder:Fridge Brilliance]]
* Early information about the movie said that it would be about finding Bo Peep, as she wasn't in the previous movie because Andy's mom sold her. The reveal trailer, however, instead introduces the story of Forky, and the existential crisis of a spork being awakened as a toy because some kid glued googly eyes and put a pipe-cleaner mouth and arms on it. These two premises are more related than they might seem once you remember that Bo Peep is made of porcelain. Nobody would make a child's toy out of something as fragile as porcelain, leading to the conclusion that, like Forky, Bo Peep did not start out as a toy -- she ''became'' one when Andy started playing with her instead of leaving her and her sheep as mere figurines.

* Remember all those parodies where Andy or a CaptainErsatz of him plays with his parents' "special items" when they're not home, and they have a mental breakdown because they're aware of [[ADateWithRosiePalms what they usually do]]? Well, now those parodies are canon somewhere.
