Seeing Jim talk casually is surreal, because he looks and sounds just about as much Like Tom Hanks as a person possibly can. But at the same time, he has a totally different personality and way of carrying himself.
Yeah, as a matter of fact Tom Hanks himself confirmed that his younger brother Jim is Woody's voice when the character isn't in the Toy Story movies, because Tom is busy working on other movies and can't do Woody all the time.
Jim is the voice of Woody in Kingdom Hearts 3 as well. Basically anything Tom won’t do, Jim will. He has perfected his impression over the years. And now, it’s kinda hard to tell the difference if you don’t have a side by side comparison.
My late mother was good friends with Jim in high school. She followed his career over the years so I always knew how much Jim was involved behind the scenes. Thanks for this interview and getting him some nice recognition!
@@stanknugget Ha no kidding. Not sure I wanna blast her full name out in the TH-cam comments but her initials were JS, MHS class of ‘79. I actually met Jim and his son at the 20 year reunion as a kid.
Jim hanks does such a great job at voicing woody. As someone who played so many Disney Pixar video games featuring woody like Disney infinity and more recently, speedstorm. It’s always a delight to hear him. Hearing about how he views woody as everyone’s favorite teacher is so inspiring.
It's such a trip because we're so familiar with what Tom Hanks looks and sounds like -- and you can see that DNA in JIM, down to mannerisms, but it really amps up when he goes into the voice.
This is amazing, Jace! I've never seen an interview with Jim Hanks before- what a great idea! And what an honor it must have been. I had that guitar-playing Woody doll too, it's sweet to know it represents a turning point in his confidence as the character! And as always, the editing quality is unmatched! Really feels like an official Pixar bonus feature. Congratulations on another outstanding achievement!
10:46, when he says “The Kingdom Hearts thing” I was soooo happy! Love Jim’s work, and how he’s held up the mantle for Tom when he does woody in the films. Glad he gave his brother a really sick job just being a VA for Woody in anything they need him for.
@@joshhunt4146 Clearly, for millions, they can’t (me included) When Jim turns on his Woody-voice, him and Tom sounds very similar (otherwise they wouldn’t have used him to begin with)
Hey Howdy Hey! I’ve noticed the Toy Story 3 Game soundtrack playing in the background. Plus, it’s nice to hear an in-depth interview on how Jim Hanks became the voice of Woody in other Toy Story related medias.
While it’s incredible that Jim’s able to match Tom’s energy and voice to such a close degree, I think it’s also worth shouting out that he’s not the type to be petty about doing the “smaller” projects or being in his brother’s shadow. Not a lot of people would have that much class and still strive to stay true to the character while also understanding/appreciating their own unique contribution. Jim really is a class act and seems like a great brother.
Gosh I love it when family look and sound like each other. Especially siblings. It goes beyond the looks, the mannerisms. As someone who lives far away from relatives, and gets shocked every time I make my annual visit, I think it’s so special to see the spiritual and biological/physical bonds that link family.
I personally love seeing family resemblances, I think it’s so cute and endearing seeing all the similarities. My sister and I have a lot of differences but also I think we look similar enough that people can tell we’re related. Also when we were teens sometimes people would mix us up on the phone so apparently we sound similar.
Fun Fact! On the show Scrubs they had a surgeon character named Hooch. For one episode they had him paired up with Dr. Turner, a la Turner and Hooch. They got Jim to play Dr. Turner and he has a speaking line. It’s really cool haha!
While Tom was voicing the Toy Story movie side of my childhood, this man was voicing my favorite cowboy in everything else that defined my childhood. Jim does an incredible job at voicing Woody and in my opinion, his legacy as him for me is most felt when he voiced Woody in my favorite childhood PS1 kart racing game, Toy Story Racer, which I still play to this day. Brings a smile to my face when I'm racing as him, win or lose. Thanks for the incredible interview, Jace!
Disney will never openly publicize the fact that official merchandise, promotions, and theme park rides aren't voiced by the "real" Woody for, what I think, are obvious reasons, but while Jim may not get the credit like his brother, I am certain that he is well compensated for his work.
@@paulaitix77Tom Hanks, didn't create the Woody character either, he just did the voice. Pixar created he character, animated him, and wrote the dialogue. Hanks, was just told what to say.
Oddly enough, considering he was the voice of the Toy Story SNES game and all the Woody Dolls, I probably heard the Jim Hanks voice more than his brother's when I was a kid. This guy is awesome!
@@eprimeify2090 Technically, even the NES could run voices, it's just that very early on, voice synthesization was pretty space-consuming and a little difficult to program. The SNES definitely could and did have synthesized voices, and it's a pretty interesting process. Technically, even the original Gameboy had voice sampling, although they were even crustier and less intelligible than both of the home consoles. You can pretty easily find very fascinating videos on the subject.
this popped up on my youtube homepage, and i'm happy it did. I didn't know Tom's brother acted. Its impressive how similar they sound! How fortuitous for Pixar. Great interview, and thanks for teaching me something new!
An incredibly underrated talent. I went so long in my life having no clue that it was Jim Hanks. If I'm being honest through all the other Toy Story content I might have listened to Jim (Woody) more than I have listened to Tom (Woody).
@@Zipzopzoobitybop LOL, I know it's difficult to read tone on the internet, but surely you didn't take that seriously? Have nothing but enormous admiration for Jace's work.
@@kingemerald4622 Don't think I've ever called anyone a "creep," but I probably called out one of your "weird" comments about a cartoon rabbit or something.
This was a real treat getting to hear Jim talking about his start and some of the early times he voiced Woody. I'm so fascinated by the idea that he sometimes has to try and sound like older Tom haha. That hadn't even crossed my mind. And the part about Woody in the first film being so over dramatic is one of my favorite things about that movie. There is so much energy in the way he yells. From a character development standpoint I get why he calmed down more over the years, but boy does it work so well in the first one.
I had no idea Tom’s brother voiced Woody. So funny at the end when Jim goes into Woody’s voice. Even his face transformed into a Tom Hanks mug. Great interview. Loved it! ❤❤
My older brother and I (six years apart) not only look very similar, but our voices are nearly identical, from what people have told me. My girlfriend literally once heard us talking in another room, and thought I was having a full conversation with myself. So I totally understand Jim not realizing he has such a similar voice to Tom until it’s pointed out.
Disney: Okay Tom we need you for some voice over work. Tom: My price is $20,000 Disney: You don't happen to have a brother that sounds like you who can do it cheaper, do you? Tom: Why yes I do.
So cool seeing that Woody guitar toy featured @6:25. I had one of those as a kid, and that was one of the things that made me really want a real guitar to play on. 25+ years later I still play guitar every single day. Can thank Jim for that ❤
I have an attachment to Jim Hawks' Woody. (In addition to Tom Hanks) Haveing him around has been like having a long time friend. One who will greet me at the TV room after Im finished playing games and tell me how to "rustle up some more fun" to stepping infront of me (Sora) in Kingdom Hearts and telling Xehanort to get lost. Jim Hanks has been there every step.
As a teacher who talks to my students like people and not students or even kids for that matter (limits obviously!) it always feel nice when someone relates that to their favourite teacher. I still get kids who are now in their mid-twenties coming back to the school to visit me.
Great interview. He seems like such a nice, well put-together guy like his brother. Though they do naturally sound and look alike (down to even certain facial expressions), I'm impressed by how he technically can break down Tom's voice-and that he knows and safeguards the integrity of Woody as a character so well!
His voice in the Disney Interactive computer games from the 90's were my childhood. It was from the Interactive Storybook I think, where you play a game of Hot/Cold trying to put the toys in their place. How he says "HAAAWT!" always killed me as a kid. lol
When Jim began to speak I was thinking how he doesn't sound like Tom at all, then he did the diaphragm/nasal impressions and it's spot on. Brothers can often times impersonate one another, I have three of them myself, but I can't do it like Jim does. Impressive.
This video feels like a behind the scenes, Bonus feature they'd have inside a Official Disney Toy Story anniversary Trilogy disc that plays through all the movies and also has plenty of bonus features including a video like this like "Meet the fake Woody!" Is this just me? XD Like the editing and the feel for the environment feels like it's Disney producing this
Whoever gave Graham Norton the detail that Woody is voiced by Jim Hanks and to ask Tom about it is an unsung hero just like Jim's impression of his brother, as I would never know my favorite cartoon character isn't Tom Hanks except for the movies and shorts
Jim Hanks at Pat Fraley are just as much Woody and Buzz as Tom Hanks and Tim Allen are. Jim and Pat's fingerprints are all over some of my favorite childhood experiences. (Video games, theme parks, toys, live shows, etc.) Great to see that Jim really loves the role.
I grew up listening to this man’s voice. And I STILL have my original Woody doll from 1995, and his voice box is still working. This was so cool to get to finally hear from the man himself!
I love how Jim could've just been a knockoff woody but he actually put his heart and soul Into and is on the same level as Tom (if not higher he's technically been woody more now lol)
Fantastic interview, Jace! Jim, I am so happy with all the success you've had in carrying on the Woody Legacy. Talent runs deep in the Hanks family. Yee-haa!!
11:24- The late Mel Blanc (AKA The Man of 1000 Voices) went on record as saying that he'd voice each male Looney Toons character's voice separately for every individual cartoon . .but he learned to wait until the end of the workday to voice Yosemite Sam's because that character was always LOUD and he'd be somewhat hoarse for sometime afterwards so Mr. Hanks is wise to wait to the end to do Woody's 'Yee-HAWS'! In any case, not only did the younger Mr. Hanks do a good job capturing the elder Mr. Hanks's interpretation of Woody but what's amazing is that he's kept his own inspirations for Woody fresh and new all these years instead of just viewing it as blah job. Thanks for this interview!
Jim Hanks was in an episode of Scrubs, as Dr. Turner, and JD and Turk messed with the schedules so that Dr. Turner and Dr. Hooch worked together, making them Turner and Hooch. I always loved that joke, and getting Jim on as Turner just added another layer to the gag for those paying close enough attention.
There are several amazing things here. First, the uncanny resemblance between their voices (of course being a product of their genes). Second, Jim's hability to find the precise "Tom's voice" by analyzing his tones; it is not a simply imitation, but a complete study. And finally, the lucky that both have printed such charisma to a beloved character. Awesome.
Wow, this was probably the best TH-cam recommended video ever. Stellar interview! And so well edited and produced! You asked great questions and Jim Hanks seemed to enjoy himself, as well. Thank you!
This is breaking my brain right now. I'm 33, grew up on Toy Story, and I was today years old when I learned that collectively, Jim Hanks has more of a right to the title "the voice of Woody" than Tom Hanks does. Such a talented family.
I find him being able to match Toms voice truly amazing. My brother and I are 10 months part but I really doubt we could pass our voices off as the other.
Yeah I knew he voiced the toys and stuff but I had never seen what he looked like. Wow they look so similar. Could pass as twins if it wasn't for the hair lol.
Never knew this, such a neat interview. Turns out I heard his voice a lot while since Woody was her favorite toy for years 😊 thank you Jim for all your hard work over the years
I'm Brazilian, I've always watched Toy Story dubbed in Portuguese, but the toys didn't come to Brazil speaking Portuguese until 2010. So Jim Hanks as Woody was more in my childhood than his brother 😂
My mind is BLOWN! I would have never guessed, although now i can tell but only because it’s been pointed out. It’s cool how the siblings have such a distinct voice. Reminds me of how people get me, my mom and my sister all consider on the phone. They always think Im my sister or my mom.

If I see a kid with a spoderman phone case. I immediately know that he’s an edgelord marvel mindcase. Not hireable.

True however Jim Hanks deserves to be rewarded for all his years of doing the rest of the Woody work on behalf of his brother Tom Hanks
WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE!??!!!!

Seeing Jim talk casually is surreal, because he looks and sounds just about as much Like Tom Hanks as a person possibly can. But at the same time, he has a totally different personality and way of carrying himself.
This is just common with siblings. Me and my brother sound identical. It confuses people when we play together on games.
How did I never know this?! Went 40 years of my life not even knowing Tom has a brother, let alone he does Woody.
When you are so good at making fun of your sibling that you make it a career.
As an older brother myself, this speaks to me. I make fun of my brother all the time, I wish I could get paid for it.@@dawnkryxel

Hi!

I hope they go back to how the first 3 was. There’s something about the 4th that just feels too different and not like Toy Story.

the way Jim descibed woody so eloquently, like. ThATS why hes so good at it. Its beautiful.
I think it's great the two brothers can bond over such an iconic character like Woody
definitely a difference between Tom's and Jim's voices to my ear. Jim is more relaxed and rounder, and Tom is more authoritative and sharp.
Jim Hanks at Pat Fraley are just as much Woody and Buzz as Tom Hanks and Tim Allen are. Jim and Pat's fingerprints are all over some of my favorite childhood experiences. (Video games, theme parks, toys, live shows, etc.) Great to see that Jim really loves the role.

I've had my Woody since I was 4, I've grown up with Jim Hanks' voice since forever. This was awesome to see!
I hope this blows up. So well done
Wow, this was probably the best TH-cam recommended video ever. Stellar interview! And so well edited and produced! You asked great questions and Jim Hanks seemed to enjoy himself, as well.
Thank you!
Amazing interview! I’ve always wanted to know more about his experience voicing Woody.
This is breaking my brain right now. I'm 33, grew up on Toy Story, and I was today years old when I learned that collectively, Jim Hanks has more of a right to the title "the voice of Woody" than Tom Hanks does. Such a talented family.
This is fricking hilarious! I never knew Tom Hanks had a brother little alone could sound just like him.
Holy moly, this was incredible! I definitely got a little teary when Jim gave us a Woody goodbye at the end 🥰
Its crazy how when Jim does the Woody voice he actually looks more like Tom. Super talented dude for sure!
I HAD ONE OF THOSE! I remember the commercial about him reacting to his hat being removed!
Bro I always knew it !! Omg ! I can’t tell the difference
You should check out "I Know That Voice". He's on it. All about voice actors.
This is awesome. I loved every second of this. Thank you for making this.
I find him being able to match Toms voice truly amazing. My brother and I are 10 months part but I really doubt we could pass our voices off as the other.
I knew it was Tom's brother but it's so cool to see him as himself!
Jim must have done more voices for Woody than Tom at this point!
Yeah I knew he voiced the toys and stuff but I had never seen what he looked like. Wow they look so similar. Could pass as twins if it wasn't for the hair lol.
When they showed the pictures of them younger at the end I honestly was like wait who is who @CreedBrattonTheOffice
he did a lot of the running in forrest gump when he is going cross country and you cant see his face clearly
@@bloodlinefilmsReally? That’s pretty cool and interesting. I had no idea.
Their family is so down to earth and they all just seem to have such a good head on their shoulders.
This is the first time I've ever seen Jim interviewed after searching for years.
Never knew this, such a neat interview. Turns out I heard his voice a lot while since Woody was her favorite toy for years 😊 thank you Jim for all your hard work over the years
It’s not like he didn’t get paid. lol.
I'm Brazilian, I've always watched Toy Story dubbed in Portuguese, but the toys didn't come to Brazil speaking Portuguese until 2010. So Jim Hanks as Woody was more in my childhood than his brother 😂
Love this interview so much! Thanks Jim for all you have done for my childhood... and continue to do!
Jace, another great interview! Can't wait for the next one.
This is genuinely awesome I didn’t know this ❤❤Thanks so much for this Jace
What a wonderful interview! Jim Hank’s contributions are incredible and he seems like such a great person. Thank you so much for sharing this! 😀🙌✨
My mind is BLOWN! I would have never guessed, although now i can tell but only because it’s been pointed out. It’s cool how the siblings have such a distinct voice. Reminds me of how people get me, my mom and my sister all consider on the phone. They always think Im my sister or my mom.
Same with me and my sisters. We all sound so similar - even our mum can't tell us apart on the phone 😂
This video is so well-edited! Nice interview!
What a well done interview/video! This was really cool to watch and learn more about Jim's journey!!!
I love Woody so much, I’m excited to see what else Jim does! Maybe a cameo in Toy Story 5 👍🏻
I always knew it was Jim Hanks but I've never seen him before in an interview. There is a remarkable resemblance to Tom.
I love your little clever edits dude !
Thanks Mark!
I never leave TH-cam comments but omg this was FASCINATING! Amazing
What an awesome interview! Great job! :)
Holding back a "Tom Hanks at home" joke since he deserves more - Jim's amazing! What a guy!
I mean this as no disrespect to Tom, but to me in many ways Jim IS Woody.
Isn't it true tom hanks moved to Greece because he's a pedo? If so then Jim should take over
Wow, I’ve heard Tom talk about his brother Jim doing the voiceover, but to see Jim in interview and explain and demonstrate the voice, is really cool.
