Forky Asks a Question

I thought these would be educational, but NOTHING was clear and nothing learned. Disney continues to disappoint the under 6 friendly and educational space.

The first episode my kids watched was "What is a computer?" In this episode the fork annoys the other character and pisses her off. The question was never directly answered.

We thought. ok maybe it was that one episode that was stupid. So we gave it one more chance with the episode "What is a pet?"

Again, this was incredibly annoying. The kids were just confused and again at the end they couldn't even answer "So kids, do you now know what a pet is?"

At one point the fork says, "IF YOU STOP I WILL KILL YOU" (Why does Disney allow such words for a little kids shows?)

Overall: The fork was incredibly annoying to the other characters, which teaches no value to children. These episodes are titled as if they are educational but they are not educational shorts at all.

Had Toy Story 4 been the quality of these shorts it would have ended the franchise on a ka-boom. Instead the films end with whimper. This set of shorts-all built around Forky's naivety to surreal results-are very funny and in a limited way philosophical. I am not entirely sure why these were made but I watched them all in one sitting and was thoroughly entertained by them.

These short videos are obviously meant for kids, they convey a short but educational message & lesson to children about certain questions they might ask, but in reality I think it was a free reign for animators, writers & the like to let their hair down a bit & have a bit of a laugh. The subtle little signs of humour, wit, sarcasm paired with open inpatients towards Forky is hilarious, as a 47 year old bloke, I stumbled upon this on Disney+ & found it very funny, I only wish they did more.

This is a fantastic show, short but sweet. My Grandchildren just love it, every time they come here for a visit, it's the first thing they do...turn on the TV and watch Forky. Then for days repeat his hilarious words...this week it's 'That's how the cookie crumbles'...thanks for making this, and making my Grandchildren so happy for it.

I never thought a three minute short would demand multiple viewings the way these do. By the time you are done reacting to a joke or gag you've missed three more!
