“I didn't get a selfie, but I did sign her original VHS of the first 'Toy Story.’ I told her she should have brought an original VHS machine and we could have signed it. And that could go in the Smithsonian Institute as well."

bonus visual:

“We had just worked together, and she sent me this very mysterious text that was like, ‘The movie’s great. Just saw the movie.’ And I was like, ‘What? I haven’t even seen the movie! What are you talking about?’ And she’s like, ‘I love your character. I just love the movie.’ And I was like [suspiciously], ‘Uh huh…’ But you know, ever the professional, she didn’t say anything more. And then I asked her directly, and she didn’t, she was just, ‘Great movie.’ I was like, ‘Okay, okay, Tay.’ I thought, ‘Maybe,’ but I didn’t know! I was like, ‘Oh, I don’t know. I hope she ends up doing it.’ And she did! [Getting a text from her] is great. She’s awesome. She loves like, a voice memo. Which I love.”

“I would just love to say, it means the world to be to be a small part of the universe of these films. And Toy Story 5 is my favorite of all the Toy Storys. I’m so lucky that I get to be a part of this. And I want to thank all of the creators at Disney and Pixar for all the work they put into this film. It’s insanely beautiful. It’s a masterpiece. We’re so lucky to get to have this film out. Your work is amazing and I hope you’re all so proud of yourselves if you’re in the room and you worked on this film. Thank you so much. I would like to say that Joan Cusack has done such an extraordinary job as Jessie. It was an honor to write for her. And I’m very lucky that I got to write for this film, and that’s all thanks to Andrew Stanton and Kenna Harris, who wrote and directed this film, and thought of me, and reached out to me, and let me get to experience it and be inspired by it. But I’m also lucky enough to be here because of someone else who is the architect of the Toy Story musical universe. He is the king of making us feel the absolute most and pulling at our heartstrings and making us laugh and making us like, he’s one of our friends, you know what I mean? I’m talking about Randy Newman.”
