Randy Newman - Toy Story 5 (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) [2LP Picture Disc]

Three decades after Woody first stood guard on a bedroom shelf, Randy Newman is still scoring the toys' adventures, and Toy Story 5 arrives here as a 2LP picture disc.

Newman has written the music for every Toy Story film since 1995, and his songs gave the franchise its warm, shambling heartbeat from the very start. His style remains all his own: brass-band bustle, ragtime piano, cartoon-sharp timing and a sudden lump in the throat whenever the story calls for one.

The album opens with "I Knew It, I Knew You", a new original song from Taylor Swift co-written with Jack Antonoff, before the score takes over. "Buzzs" and "Tire Swing Hill" carry that familiar Newman bounce, while "Tech Boom" hints at a story that pits the toys against the pull of screens and gadgets, with the orchestra answering every beep with a wink.

Released alongside the film in 2026, it plays beautifully away from the cinema too, a run of quick, characterful cues that swell into big-hearted themes whenever the gang pulls together.

Pressed on picture discs, it is a lovely shelf piece for families raising the next generation of Toy Story fans, and for grown-ups who still half expect their old toys to move when nobody is looking.
