On Disney+ short-form series Forky Asks a Question, Bob Peterson seized the chance to work with a beloved new character from the Toy Story franchise, which was introduced to him before the rest of …

franchise, which was introduced to him before the rest of the world, creating stories at the same time for characters that had never gotten much screen time in the Pixar films.

A spastic, plastic spork voiced by Tony Hale, who knows nothing of the world, Forky was brought to life by toddler Bonnie in. In Peterson’s series, Forky asks a series of questions about such topics as time, love and cheese, to learn a bit about how the world works., Peterson instantly saw in the character something—or someone—worthy of further exploration.

The gist of the challenge for Peterson in creating a series around Forky was to figure out the right questions for the character to ask. “And that grew out of who I wanted to pair him with, because I had this whole smorgasbord of great side characters, and I thought this would be a great way to expand on what we know of the side characters, or at least give them more screen time, so we can enjoy their character,” he says.

With “What Is Love?” Peterson’s idea was to craft a piece that was nostalgic to him. “I thought it would be fun to craft something a bit soap opera-like for those four, and then I concentrated on their strengths. Carl is hilarious, but also has this super-likability, and he’s very grandfatherly. So, his role felt like that. Betty is so fiery that I wanted her to be the scorned lover,” he says.

shorts and the things that those short forms really hit home, and I think it allows you to just be a little more succinct and a little bit different with the humor,” he says, “because you’re not really reaching the depths of pathos that we do in the film. So, you can keep it a little more lighthearted and silly as you go.”film, Peterson has always been proud of his association with the franchise. And now, with, he can enjoy a distinction that he, himself, has brought upon it.
