On the heels of
yesterday's Toy Story 4 teaser, Disney and Pixar have released a "reaction" video featuring two brand new characters. In the new teaser, we're introduced to Ducky and Bunny, a pair of stuffed carnival toys voiced by Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele, respectively.
In the meta-clip, the two toys discuss yesterday's
Toy Story 4 teaser and then perform their best Woody and Buzz impersonations. They are then joined by the real Woody and Buzz Lightyear, the latter who shows them how the signature catchphrase - "To infinity and beyond!" - really goes. This, of course, sparks an entirely new and hilarious conversation about the scientific accuracy of the saying.
Pixar also provided us with a bit of background context for Bunny and Ducky, and how they'll fit in on this new adventure with Woody, Buzz, and the rest of the gang.
Woody’s journey in “Toy Story 4” includes a visit to a carnival where he meets Ducky and Bunny, two carnival prizes who are eager to be won. But when their plans are rudely interrupted by Woody and his friends, they find themselves on an unexpected adventure with a group of toys who have no idea what it feels like to be tacked to a prize wall.
“Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele, who voice Ducky and Bunny, are two of the most brilliant minds I’ve ever seen,” said director Josh Cooley.
“Of course, they are effortlessly funny, which would be enough. But they are incredible actors that understand story. Their improvs weren’t just for comedy sake, they were story motivated which elevated Ducky and Bunny and the film to a level I never could have expected.”
Ducky and Bunny aren't the only new characters in
Toy Story 4.
Yesterday's teaser introduced us to Forky (voiced by Tony Hale), Bonnie's intriguing new "toy" who admits he doesn't belong with the rest of them. Forky's reluctance to consider himself a toy like the rest of them will seemingly jump-start a road trip adventure that "will show Woody how big the world can be for a toy."
In addition to the new teaser trailer, Pixar has released three more character posters for Buzz Lightyear, Forky, and the new Ducky and Bunny.
Toy Story 4 opens in theaters June 21, 2019.
