Musical Montage: Toy Story

Although it’s not clear if this week’s Inside Out will have any musical numbers, music has been an integral part of Pixar throughout the years, whether it’s the scores of Michael Giacchino or tracks from the likes of Randy Newman, most of the music in Pixar movies is instantly recognizable, especially the songs from the Toy Story series.  After some back and forth during production of the first movie, Pixar and Disney eventually came to a compromise that the toys would not burst into song but there would still be songs at key points to heighten the emotion, all of them coming courtesy of the aforementioned Randy Newman.  Newman would win multiple Academy Awards for his work on the Toy Story series and he also worked with Pixar on Cars, A Bug’s Life, Monsters Inc and Monsters University.  Check out his most memorable tracks from the Toy Story series below.
