Woody Introduces Forky to the Toys, Explained: trust me on this
Woody comes home from kindergarten with a strange new friend, and the other toys want to know why. Forky only says "Trash!" and keeps trying to throw himself away. "Forky is the most important toy to Bonnie right now," Woody insists, and he is not exaggerating.
What happens
Back from kindergarten, Woody gathers the toys to introduce Forky, a craft project Bonnie made in class. Forky understands only one thing: he is trash, and he wants to live in the bin. Woody has to explain why this odd new toy is suddenly so important.

What's really going on
The scene is a comedy about one small misunderstanding, but it lands on something real. To the toys, Forky is nonsense: a spork that keeps shouting and diving for the bin. Woody, though, has seen what the toy did for Bonnie at school, and his pitch is quietly serious — "Forky is the most important toy to Bonnie right now." The others hear melodrama; the audience hears a toy explaining that love is not about what you are made of. The running joke is also the theme: the one who calls himself trash turns out to matter most. Woody's plea, "you gotta trust me on this," is less about the spork than about accepting something new.
Theme
IdentityForky insists he is trash while Woody insists he is a toy, a fight over who gets to define him.
Family loveThe toys guard a homemade spork because it makes Bonnie happy, not because it looks like them.

No, no. She literally made a new friend.Woody's punchline: Bonnie did not befriend someone, she built one, and that is why the toys are confused.
I wish you could have seen it.Woody describes a moment the others missed, asking them to value what they cannot see.
Forky is the most important toy to Bonnie right now.The claim that sounds absurd but is true, and the reason every toy has to protect the spork.
So, we all have to make sure nothing happens to him.Woody turns his argument into a job for everyone, setting up the rest of the film.
Questions about this scene
Why does Forky keep running to the trash?
Because Bonnie made him out of a spork and other trash, so he believes he belongs in the bin. He shouts 'Trash!' and keeps trying to throw himself away.
Why does Woody say Forky is important?
Because the toy helped Bonnie adjust to kindergarten. Woody says she had the biggest smile when she started playing with him, so nothing can be allowed to happen to him.
Why do the other toys doubt Woody?
Forky is just a spork, and they think Woody is being dramatic. They did not see what he saw in the classroom.
What kind of toy is Forky?
A spork with pipe-cleaner arms, googly eyes and a popsicle-stick body — a homemade toy Bonnie created in class.
