Hanks: 'Toy Story' movies are beasts'

Rex Features

Tom Hanks has opened up about his recent recording sessions for Toy Story 3.

The Hollywood star, who voices the character of Woody in the hit Disney franchise, described the animated movies as "beasts".

"I have been in and done three big complete recording sessions and will probably have at least one more to do, possibly in about eight months," he told Empire. "Then eight months after that I'll do a mop-up and have three more sessions after that. Those movies are beasts."

When asked about the script, he added: "They did an interesting thing on this one. They did not send us a script. They showed us a complete story reel of the entire movie, with storyboards moving from one to the next, and the people up at Pixar recorded some voices with some music and sound effects.

"Tim Allen and John Ratzenberger and I went in a movie theatre, watched the reel and said, 'This is great, let's get to work!'"

Toy Story 3, which will be shown in Disney Digital 3D, is scheduled for release in June 2010.
