Hanks The next part he played was that of an astronaut and commander Jim Lovell in the 1995 docudrama Apollo 13. This reunited Hanks once more with Ron Howard. The film was widely lauded by critics as well as the performances of the whole group (which included Kevin Bacon and Bill Paxton, Gary Sinise and Ed Harris), and Kathleen Quinlan. The movie also earned nine Academy Award nominations, winning two. The following year, Hanks starred in Disney/Pixar's computer-animated film Toy Story (1995), as the voice of Sheriff Woody. A year later, he made his directing debut with the musical comedy That Thing You Do! (1996) which chronicles the rise and fall of a music group from the 1960s. He also took on the role as a music producer. Richard Schickel of Time magazine said that his performance was "charming" and the majority of reviewers agreed with the fact that Hanks role in the film earned him a spot among the premier romantic-comedy stars of his generation.
