Disney’s Toy Story Favorites, a six-song EP meant to drum up interest for the release of the third installment of the popular animated film series, includes two songs from each film. As one would expect,
Randy Newman dominates the collection, though his signature Toy Story-related song “You’ve Got a Friend in Me,” is replaced here by a spirited Spanish version by the
Gipsy Kings. It’s all familiar and good, but the collection makes little sense to anyone who has invested time and money into the series, as they probably already own the four cuts from episodes one and two, and the two new songs appear on the Toy Story 3 soundtrack. ~ James Christopher Monger
