Writing this song felt like a musical departure and coming home at the same time. Creating something for Jessie was a new challenge and also felt like second nature all at once. And being a @toystory kid from the age of 5 til now… is an adventure I plan to be on, to infinity and beyond.
Thank you to the brilliant Andrew Stanton for imagining me for this, all those years ago when you wrote this newest film. Thank you to the incomparable @RandyNewman or the gorgeous sonic tapestry of songs and scores you’ve meticulously woven over the years. You created the Toy Story musical world, and we are lucky to get to live in it.
By we, I mean myself and my pal @jackantonoff. We wrote this with so much adoration for these characters that made us laugh and helped us learn lessons and think outside the backyard all throughout our childhoods. “I Knew It, I Knew You” from Toy Story 5 is out everywhere now. 🤠🐴

@homersickson you're so right actually it was amazingly written and animated. i see what you mean 🤔 especially if we take abstraction as a metaphor for suicide and all that. it makes sense for it to happen elsewhere and have the other characters simply react to it
tadc spoilers ////
have your gripes with the finale but i'm kinda already sick of the criticism that jax shouldn't have abstracted because he "struggled so much" or it "sends a bad message" to mentally ill folks. like i'm sorry to say it but sometimes people suck & then they die
@sarahtonin3021 i agree! way happier than i expected personally based off its source material KEJDKRJFKS i thought everyone was about to be miserable 😭 after many months of terrible endings to shows i'll take it 🎉
