Since it’s been so long since we saw these characters on screen, even hardcore fans might need a refresher course before heading to the theater for their new adventure. But don’t worry we’ve got you covered with this look at everything you need to know before you grab your tickets for Toy Story 4.

Toy Story just wouldn’t be what it is without its two leads, so of course Tom Hanks is back as Woody, and Tim Allen returns as Buzz Lightyear. But it isn’t just those two that help give so much heart to the world of Toy Story and luckily, just about every character in the Toy Story universe is coming back for the fourth film.

But there are plenty of new characters to look forward to as well. Like an overstuffed toy box, it seems there’s always room for some new characters for us to fall in love with.

A huge part of the narrative of Toy Story 4 seems to be centered on Forky, voiced by Tony Hale, who seems to be in the midst of an existential crisis about whether or not he’s truly a toy. Jordan Peele and Keegan-Michael Key also join the film as Bunny and Ducky, a pair of stuffed animals who join forces with Woody and friends, while Christina Hendricks will join the cast as a character named Gabby Gabby, a vintage baby doll who commands an army of ventriloquist dummies in an antique mall, and appears to be the central villain of the film.

The extra wait for Toy Story 4 may have been frustrating for fans, but it helped the timing align in at least one crucial way: Keanu Reeves’ voice work as new character Duke Caboom arrives in the midst of a career revival for the Hollywood veteran. It’s just another reminder that Reeves can handle pretty much any type of role and as the Pixar brass discovered shortly after arranging a meeting, he gives his all to any character, even the ones made out of plastic. Make sure you watch this before you see Toy Story 4!
