Tom Hanks and Ellen DeGeneres bring Woody and Dory to life in Pixar-off

Pixar worlds collided on the set of The Ellen DeGeneres Show when Tom Hanks and Ellen DeGeneres reprised their famous roles as the voices of Woody from Toy Story and Dory from Finding Nemo.

The two made the audience close their eyes and talked their way through a very believable meeting between Andy's toy cowboy and a very forgetful fish.

"Close your eyes and imagine you're in Pixar land...," Hanks said before launching into the brief Woody and Dory encounter and adventurous search for a missing hat.

Hanks, who is working on Toy Story 4, also shared the stresses of voice acting (clenched diaphragm, ugh) and the two related when it comes to repeating lines over and over and over and over again.

Ellen even leaves Hanks with some solid advice that the voice acting vet didn't know: a bite of an apple will help with any dry mouth situation.
