Tom Hanks said advances in artificial intelligence could enable studios to recreate his voice in future Toy Story sequels without his active participation, describing the prospect as “a scary thought”.
Hanks has voiced the cowboy doll Woody since the first Toy Story was released in 1995 and is reprising his role in Toy Story 5. The film centres on the toys confronting a new threat to playtime as Bonnie becomes increasingly attached to a tablet-like device called Lilypad, reflecting what Pixar has described as a “Toy meets Tech” story.
