"The Glory Days" by Michael Giacchino, The Incredibles At this pivotal moment, Thomas Newman's delicate song beckons viewers into the ocean's beautiful, mysterious vastness and sets the stage for a tale of familial love that ranks right up there among the most elegant animated adventures ever to grace the screen. In the wake of Marlin's mate's tragic death at the film's opening, the clownfish father recovers the lone egg spared by his barracuda assailant.
This soft composition is most recognizable as the opening theme from Finding Nemo. "Nemo Egg (Main Title)" by Thomas Newman, Finding Nemo It's the kind of song that makes you want to take to the streets with someone as important to you as Sully is to Mike, arm in arm, belting out to the world: "I wouldn't have nothin' if I didn't have you." As the credits roll on Pixar's scream-fueled monster mash, the duo returns for one last toe-tapping ode to their unbreakable bond. Neither do songs like "If I Didn't Have You," another infectiously good-natured Newman composition sung this time by stars Billy Crystal and John Goodman. "If I Didn't Have You" by John Goodman and Billy Crystal (composed by Randy Newman), Monsters, Inc.įriendships like Mike and Sully's don't come around every day.

"When She Loved Me" by Sarah McLachlan (composed by Randy Newman), Toy Story 2 Few would argue that, 25 years on, Newman's song is the one that endures. In 1996, it lost the Best Original Song Oscar to none other than Disney's Pocahontas (for "Colors of the Wind"). Randy Newman's jovial jingle about friendly commitment has become a key identifier of the Toy Story franchise and, by extension, of Pixar as a whole. If you had to choose one song to define Pixar, you'd be hard-pressed to pick anything other than this. "You've Got a Friend in Me" by Randy Newman, Toy Story You may not know every title, but there's a solid chance you've heard every tune.
