Lightening the mood here are Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele as the antic carnival toys Ducky and Bunny, and Keanu Reeves as a Canadian motorcycle figure named Duke Caboom. Director Josh Cooley turns this into a terrifically creepy place, populated by silent ventriloquist dummies and a deceptively well-mannered doll named Gabby Gabby (Christina Hendricks). Woody appoints himself Forky's guardian, playing father figure to a newborn of sorts.Ī family road trip leads to several misadventures and a crucial stopover at Second Chance Antiques, where childless toys gather dust. ![]() He is Forky (Tony Hale), whose sudden birth leaves with him with a kind of permanent existential nausea.
