Tom Hanks promises ‘Toy Story 4’ will have ‘an impactful ending’, praising the ’emotional connection’ of the films

Next summer the fourth Toy Story film arrives in theaters, likely the close for Tom Hanks as Woody, who admitted to getting emotional recording these final scenes.

In a recent interview on BBC’s “The Chris Evans Breakfast Show,” Hanks spoke about recording the ending to the upcoming film, revealing that he became very emotional when he realized the magnitude of the moment.

“The way you record Toy Story, you’re in a room with the team that has created it,” he said. “When I went in for my last day of recording, I wanted to have my back to them, because usually you’re facing him so you can look right up and you can talk about it. But I didn’t want to see them and I wanted to pretend they couldn’t see me. When I realized what they were going for, I realized, ‘Oh, this is a moment in history.’”

Hanks softens a bit about “not wanting to build up expectations,” but it was little late for that.

Check out the audio as Hanks praises the Pixar team, both technically and the “emotional range of those movies” which have gotten “more and more deep…and profound.”

Hanks says: “It’s the power of the connection we all have as children, but also as the creators of the world our toys inhabit…It is a very, very, very special collection of movies that have been put together.”

Along with Tom Hanks and Tim Allen returning as Woody and Buzz Lightyear respectively, other returning actors include Joan Cusack (Jessie), Kristen Schaal (Trixie), Bonnie Hunt (Dolly), Blake Clark (Slinky Dog), and Jeff Garlin (Buttercup). Randy Newman is also returning to compose the soundtrack.
