Well, it looks like Randy is returning to score TOY STORY 4. (You may recall that he apparently didn't have a great time working with Lee Unkrich on TOY STORY 3, but the new film is being directed by John Lasseter.)
There was a panel for the film at Disney's D23 Expo over the weekend in which John Lasseter introduced Rashida Jones and Will McCormack as the writers of the film, and he also said "you can't talk about TOY STORY without talking about the music, and there's no point in talking about TOY STORY and the music without mentioning the Oscar-winning singer-songwriter and composer for all of the TOY STORY films, Randy Newman." Lasseter then introduced him onstage as "my good friend Randy Newman!" and Randy performed "You've Got A Friend In Me" for the crowd.

(I did post this in the TOY STORY 3 thread as well, but figured I should start a new one for this film, as people might not bother looking in that old thread.)

Jason Le Blanc is going to be FURIOUS that he did not get the exclusive on this.

This is as it should be. Newman's Pixar scores are just wonderful. The Legacy Collection version of the first Toy Story has given me a new-found appreciation for it on album (it's always been obviously brilliant in the film).

Listening now to it, lovely stuff. First score track (4. Operation Pull Toy) is WONDERFUL!

Just picked the soundtrack up, despite disliking the movie and flat-out despising the ending. I think this score is worlds better than TS3, because Newman has suddenly rediscovered a host of melodies and motifs from the first two scores that he had dropped like so many hot potatoes in the third. Seriously, it's all here: Buzz's original "Wrath of Khan" arpeggio from 1, Buzz's updated action-adventure theme from the opening of 2, the Roundup Gang theme from 2, one tiny hint of "When She Loved Me," the "toys coming to an epiphany" arpeggio from 1, the "On the Move" Sid's house escape music from 1, the "final triumph" melody from 1 and 2, what sounds like variations on the "Going Home" motif from 3, and best of all, Woody's original "Reach for the skyyyyy" Western ditty from the opening minutes of the original (albeit scoring my least favorite moment in this movie, but I'll take it!). There's also something at 2:28 in "School Daze" that I know is returning from somewhere but can't identify.
Add to this a great clarinet melody for Forky that's so at home in Newman's sound for these films that you'd swear it's been in the franchise for 24 years. This is the score TS3 should have had. Too bad the price of getting it was the wholesale selling out of the series...

TS3 has to be the.most overrated film of the Decade.
It totally recycled plot elements from 2 then thru in a ' dramatic' ' life or death' inale' - and everybody KVELLED!
1 and 2 are all time classics. Not 3. Not interested in this one either.

I LOVED everything about 3.
Especially that first part of the score (the train sequence) is sublime.
Haven't seen (nor heard) 4 yet.
