Cast of "Toy Story 4" reveal reasons why franchise is as good as ever

Toy Story 4 features a brand new character played by Tony Hale called 'Forky' - and Tom Hanks feels this outing is the Forky show.

"Well, look this really should be called "Toy Story Forky" because it's all about the Forky," said Hanks. "He comes along and we ended up having the adventure of our lives because of that assembled plaything".

Hanks says the films have stood the test of time and that's what keeps us coming back.

"Well, the thing is they all, they live in this timeless amber that is exactly what is was then and remains, remains now," said Hanks. "I just happened to be watching it with my, "Toy Story 2," with my granddaughter and she was seeing it for the first time, and she was one hundred percent enthralled and involved and it always delivers. It doesn't look dated at all. There's no aspect of it, there's no nostalgia to it. It just is the story that immediately sucks you in".
