Carl Reineroceros is Bonnie's toy rhinoceros and a minor character in Toy Story 4. His name is a pun on Carl Reiner, his voice actor.
Toy Story 4[]
Carl Reineroceros is one of the senior toys in Bonnie's collection. However, because of this, he is mostly seen in the closest alongside the other senior baby toys. Before that, though, he was played with plenty of times and remembers liking the game hat shop.
Carl first appears when all of Bonnie's toys are in her closest while Mrs. Anderson cleans Bonnie's room, with Dolly comforting them, though Woody tries to lead, though he is stopped. After Bonnie finishes breakfast, she begins to play town, casting her roles: Dolly as mayor, Hamm as the banker, Slinky as the ice cream man, Trixie as the hat shop owner, Buzz as the mailman, Mr. Pricklepants as the baker, and finally the Sheriff, in which she pulls out Woody's tag and gives it to Jessie, leaving Woody, Carl, the other baby toys, and Old Timer behind.
After Woody is left behind, he is shown distressed; however, when Carl and the other baby toys begin to watch him, he acts as if everything is fine. They then go to the window, seeing that Bonnie is playing hat shop, with Carl noticing and trying to remember when they last played it, though they all agree to Melephant, saying that he liked playing house.
When Old Timer notices that Woody has gotten his first dust ball, Carl and the other baby toys seem excited, wanting to give it a name (symbolizing that he is being used less and less), though the cowboy pays little attention. However, when Dolly went to check up with Woody, only Carl and the other toys are present, seeming confused on the events.
Forky Asks a Question[]
- "I'm sorry! You never made my soul go boom! Our love was a lie!"
- —Carl confessing to Bitey on their "relationship"
Carl Reineroceros returns in Forky Asks a Question episode "What is Love?" with a larger role than in the film and with Carl Reiner reprising his role.
He is first seen when Forky introduces them, calling them very (saying it seven times) senior toys, with Carl asking how many very's does a person truly need. When Forky asks what is love, Carl responds saying that it is when your soul goes boom, though Chairol disagrees, with Melephant deciding to act it out with Chairol. After they act it out, with Forky declaring love boring, they realize that Carl is crying. They wonder what is wrong, with Carl revealing that he is in love with Chairol, followed by Melephant and Chairol faking to kiss, making him feel worse.
However, his then girlfriend, Bitey White suddenly comes out, confronting him on his love for Chairol, with the two sharing insults. Carl then tells Bitey that she never made his soul go boom and their love was a lie, startling everyone. Then Melephant confesses that when he faked kissing Chairol, he wanted Carl to break up with Bitey so he could be with the biting toy, much to her excitement, though Chairol then states that she felt something when Melephant faked kissing her. This leads to an argument with the senior toys, much to Forky's amusement, who sees this as love.
