Tom Hanks has delighted children and adults alike as the voice of cowboy Woody in the Toy Story film franchise since 1995 when the first film was released. The story of Woody's friendship with space toy Buzz Lightyear has lasted throughout the last two decades, and is set to continue this year with the fourth installment in the films being released in June 2019.
And according to Tom, all his recording work for the upcoming movie is completely finished, as he shared a poignant photo on Twitter yesterday.
Sharing a snap of the cast laughing together as he finished his final lines as Woody, Tom wrote, 'Final line, final session as Woody of Toy Story 4. We rode like the wind, to infinity and beyond.'
Fans became hugely emotional over the photo, which has already had 112,000 likes in less than 12 hours. One wrote, 'Seeing the 1st when I was a kid and now I will get to share the final one with my kids. Thanks for bringing us all along for the ride! So long partner!'
Another added, 'Your voice makes this character. Thank you, Hanx. We can learn a lot from Toy Story' and one other wrote, 'The end of an amazing era. Thanks for everything you do Hanks.'

Frozen 2
The first Frozen film was one of the most popular children's films of the decade, so it's no surprise that a sequel has been in the works since its release in 2013. Bringing back Kristen Bell and Idina Menzel as sisters Anna and Elsa, Frozen 2 will be released in the UK on 22nd November 2019.

Toy Story 4
There were no dry eyes in the house at the end of Toy Story 3 - and whilst many were happy with how the trilogy finished, the new trailer has made fans realise that perhaps they do need another film in the series after all. Toy Story 4 will be released in the UK on 21st June 2019.
Avengers: Endgame
The second part to the finale of the Avengers film series will be released next year. Following on from Infinity War where half the population of the world has been wiped out by Thanos - including a LOT of our favourite Avengers - how on earth will our heroes conquer the evil genius? Avengers: Endgame will be released in UK cinemas on 26th April 2019.
Star Wars: Episode IX
There's also another major finale to a trilogy coming out next year in the form of Star Wars: Episode IX. After Rey was able to harness the Force, fans have been left wondering if they'll ever discover her true parentage - or whether she really is a nobody, as Kylo Ren said. It will be released on 20th December 2019.
Dumbo
Disney are not holding back with their plans to give most of their old classic films the live-action treatment after the success of films like The Jungle Book, and Dumbo is now in the works. The trailer on its own had viewers weeping, so it's most likely to be a huge tear-jerker when it's released in the UK on 29th March 2019.
The Lion King
Another Disney classic to be given a live-action makeover next year is The Lion King. Fans of the original were dubious over whether anything could compare to the 1994 animated film, but the star-studded voice cast has managed to turn people around. The Lion King will be released in the UK on 19th July 2019.
It: Chapter 2
The sequel to the incredibly successful 2017 remake of It will be released next year, following the lives of the children after they've grown up. Although the child cast will still star, James McAvoy, Jessica Chastain and Bill Hader will take on the roles for the sequel. It: Chapter 2 will be released in the UK on 6th September 2019.
Aladdin
2019 is going to be a huge year for the Disney live-action remakes, as Aladdin is also set to be released. Directed by Guy Ritchie, fans of the original cannot wait to see Will Smith's take on the Genie after it was originated by the late, great Robin Williams. Aladdin will be released in the UK on 24th May 2019.
Men In Black: International
Men In Black: International will take the focus away from Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones, and instead reunite Thor actors Chris Hemsworth and Tessa Thompson. Also starring Liam Neeson and Emma Thompson, the sequel will be released in the UK on 14th June 2019.

Although not much has been revealed about the storyline in the upcoming movie, many fans are wondering where the plot will go after the toys were handed down by Andy to his neighbour, Bonnie.
We do know there are at least three new characters - Forky, voiced by Arrested Development's Tony Hale, who seems to be a spork with googly eyes; there's also carnival characters Ducky and Bunny, voiced by Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele.
Toy Story 4 will be released in cinemas on 21st June 2019.
