Top 10 Best Toy Story 4 Characters
I watched Toy Story 4 already at an early screening. It was good and had some pretty tolerable characters.
Let's talk about them.
-
Bo Peep
Bo Peep is a fictional character in the Toy Story franchise created by Pixar. The character is voiced by Annie Potts. She appears as Woody's love interest and undergoes a significant transformation in Toy Story 4, where she becomes a more independent and adventurous character.
Bo Peep hasn't been a very interesting character in the Toy Story films, but she really shines in this movie. They actually gave her personality. While she can be a bit of a jerk at times, she still has a heart. I love how they made her so tough. She reminds me of Rey from Star Wars.
They really improved Bo Peep in this movie. I love her so much.
She's so much better in this movie than in all the others she was in.
I really like what they did with her.
-
Woody
Sheriff Woody Pride is a fictional character in the Toy Story franchise. He is voiced by Tom Hanks in all of the feature-length and short films, while Jim Hanks provides the voice in video games and shorts.
Woody is a pull-string cowboy doll who leads the other toys on various adventures in the... read more
Yee-haw! Woody has always been such a great character in the Toy Story franchise. I'm not gonna spoil any major plot points that happen in the film, but he has some excellent moments in this film. Woody shows how much he cares about Bonnie by making sure Forky is safe. He gets to spend time with Bo Peep after not seeing her for nine years. Their relationship is very well developed.
This is also Tom Hanks' best performance yet, and that is saying a lot. I nearly cried at the end. Just so good.
Of course, he's the best character. His actions of trying to help all the other toys and what happens to him at the end made me almost cry.

Duke Caboom
Man, Keanu Reeves is in everything these days. Duke Caboom is a pretty cool character with a pretty cool design. He's also given a backstory that, while not emotional, really gives him more of a personality. He's definitely one of the better new characters.
He delivers a lot of laughs, and he's just very entertaining. Reeves gave an excellent vocal performance here.
Honestly, he's my favorite new character. At least he has some backstory and did a cool jump, so yeah.
-
Buzz Lightyear
Buzz Lightyear is a fictional character from the Toy Story franchise. He is a toy modeled after a space ranger hero and plays a major role in the films and related merchandise.
In 2022, he was the central character in the spin-off film Lightyear. Buzz is voiced by Tim Allen in the Toy Story movies... read more
Buzz Lightyear's mission in this film is to search for Woody. What they do with Buzz here is pretty interesting. He constantly figures things out by listening to his "inner voice," which is actually just his built-in voice recordings that are activated by pressing the red button. It was pretty funny at times.
Other than that, Buzz hasn't really changed much. He's still the same Buzz we know and love. Definitely an awesome character who really cares about Woody, even though Buzz's voice actor is a racist.
Buzz just cracked me up with the whole inner voice thing, and I also love how far his character has come from Toy Story 1.
-
Forky
I didn't put him on the list because I like this character. I put him on the list because of his purpose. Bonnie was upset about going to kindergarten, but when she made a toy during orientation, she felt a lot better. Forky makes Bonnie happy, so he definitely has an important role in the movie.
Unfortunately, the character himself is Jar Jar Binks-level annoying. However, unlike Jar Jar, he doesn't take up too much screen time. Still, I just couldn't stand him. But he definitely did have a purpose in the film. That's the only reason I included him.
Forky is hilarious! He never admits to being a toy and is always trying to get in the trash again. But Woody convinces him later on that he is Bonnie's toy and she needs him.

Bunny
-
Giggle McDimples
Not much to say about her. She's just very funny and very cute. Her voice actress is also extremely attractive. Giggle McDimples may be small, but she is a big character to an extent.
-
Gabby Gabby
Gabby Gabby is the antagonist of Toy Story 4. I didn't think I would like this character, but she actually has an understandable motivation. She wants to be loved by a kid, so she tries to steal Woody's voice box to attract the attention of a little girl. Definitely not a good thing to do, but it's understandable why she did it.
I won't spoil what happens with her, but it's executed in a very great way.
While she was seen as an antagonist at one point, she has both a heartbreaking and heartwarming moment in the movie. It's at least understandable why she did what she did.
-
Ducky
Ducky, voiced by Keegan-Michael Key, is basically only in the movie for comic relief. He and Bunny, voiced by Jordan Peele, do get a few laughs, though, especially during the credits.
They don't serve much of a purpose outside of comedy, though.
-
Mr. Potato Head
Mr. Potato Head is a fictional character in the Toy Story franchise. He is based on the Hasbro toy of the same name and is one of Andy's, and later Bonnie's, toys. Mr. Potato Head was voiced by comedian Don Rickles until his death in 2017, and his performance contributed significantly to the character's... read more

Mr. Pricklepants

Bonnie Anderson
I liked Bonnie ever since Toy Story 3, but I thought she was much better here because I'm sure most of us can relate to her. I nearly teared up seeing her being sad about going to kindergarten. I remember being like that.
One thing that really bothers me about her in this movie, though, is that she pretends Woody doesn't even exist despite her making a big deal about having Woody in Toy Story 3. Weird. I guess it's just part of being a kid. We don't know why kids do certain things.
-
Jessie
Jessie is a fictional character from the Pixar films Toy Story 2, Toy Story 3, and Toy Story 4, voiced by Joan Cusack. She is a cowgirl doll and a member of Woody's Roundup gang. Jessie is known for her energetic personality and emotional backstory involving her former owner Emily.
-
Trixie
She was pretty funny when the toys were in charge of directing the camper.
She's funny in the moment when the toys control the truck.
-
Mrs. Potato Head
Mrs. Potato Head is a fictional character in the Toy Story franchise. Based on the toy of the same name, she is one of Andy's, and later Bonnie's, toys. She was voiced by Estelle Harris and is known for her nurturing yet assertive personality and her relationship with Mr. Potato Head.
-
Benson the Dummy
Slappy the Dummy was partially the inspiration for Benson and the other dummies. That explains why they bear such a striking resemblance.
-
Rex
Rex is a fictional character in the Toy Story franchise. He is a green plastic Tyrannosaurus rex toy with a nervous personality. Rex is voiced by actor Wallace Shawn.
Rex is so funny. He tries to make everything right but always messes up.
-
Buttercup
-
Hamm
Hamm is a supporting character in the Toy Story franchise. He is a plastic piggy bank with a cork in his belly and is known for his wisecracking personality. Hamm is voiced by actor John Ratzenberger, who has appeared in every Pixar film to date.

Bullseye
Cute, bold, and friendly at the same time.
