What's your favorite movie starring America's Favorite Actor Tom Hanks?
Toy Story, though it's hard to choose. I also like Joe vs. the Volcano and Apollo 13. Plus all his other movies because they are all great, even the horrible ones.

(x/post) It's the future: Tom Hanks or mech tanks (why not both)?  Another wacky-controlling game by TomR!  Was excited when I heard that music track and it delivers in-game.  Neat to try to finagle around and it's certainly a weird idea.  I will say that I think the mech movement and especially the controls need more feedback (I think it might benefit if the gearshifts felt clicky or had resistance or something instead of being so floaty) and the gameplay loop is kind of a nightmare if you're like me and have no idea about Tom Hanks lines.  I want to go back to this one later!

Enviro-Bear 2000 but with Tom Hanks, There’s a Snake in my Bot is challenging, wacky and fun. This game reminds me why I play indie games. Very soulful and has a unique art style.

Haha, this was so hard I couldn't get more than one person. I think the idea is good, but the dashboard switches are just a touch too fiddly. Like, I would carefully line up the L/R switch and then gently press the U/D switch and wham suddenly I'm going forward and to the left. Maybe if it was more clear when they were zeroed? That may have been my problem. But course correcting is so hard it makes any amount of errant motion incredibly difficult to deal with. Funny idea, though!
