Warning: Spoilers Ahead For Toy Story 4

Toy Story 4 reunites us with characters that most of us grew up with. Given the 24 year span of the movie franchise, many of those who were young kids when Toy Story released in 1995, are now taking their own kids to watch Toy Story 4. This time, Woody and Buzz must help Forky, Bonnie’s new toy, find his place in the world. The trouble is, Forky is made from trash, and so doesn’t think of himself as a toy at all, similar to how Buzz thought of himself as a real space ranger back in Toy Story.

It’s the timeless franchise that never seems to age, and fans are eagerly anticipating more adventures for Woody, Buzz, and the gang. Toy Story 4 also introduces a whole host of new characters as well, plus there’s Bonnie’s original toys that we were only introduced to in Toy Story 3. In fact, the voice cast for Toy Story 4 is vast and varied. Below is the full round up of who voices which character, and where you’ll know them from.
