Noanimated character captured our hearts this year quite like Forky, the sweet,anxiety-riddled new toyinToy Story 4.

Among other things, Hale revealed that he calls friends kids in character as Forky.

If their kids are Forky fans, Ill send them a voicemail, Hale said.

Like, Hey Jonathan, this is Forky.

I just wanted to say hi.

I hope we get to meet.

And then Ill be like, Have you seen a trash can around here?

I cant find one, so if you see one, let me know.

Of course, the kids love it.

I love that stuff.

Hale and de Oliveira also discussed the myriad Forky costumes they saw a few weeks ago on Halloween.

They are a sight, Hale said.

They are usually terrifying, de Oliveira added.

(A quick Google searchhas scarred this writer.)

Despite that, Hale enjoyed answering his door to Forkys this year.

Now all Pixar needs to is give us theForkyDuke Caboom buddy comedywe deserve!
