I fail to see the connection between illegal downloads (which suck, btw.) and the lack of a physical CD.
As far as I’m concerned, Disney is losing money by not providing a physical CD.
I’m not buying the soundtrack because it is not available in full CD quality (same as the one for Up and probably at this rate any future Pixar film), but I’m also not going to grab it for free via bittorrent or something.
Hey, Disney, bandwidth is cheap these days, please give us at least lossless downloads.
I bought Track 16 “So Long” off of itunes a few days ago. It’s really beautiful, Randy Newman at his best! The music has so much emotion, and is really powerful. i think the music was one reason I cried during that ending scene!
I’m actually listening to the soundtrack right now. I’ve really gotten kind of addicted to it lately, and I usually listen to at least a track or two every day it seems. Just fantastic. Admittedly, there are a couple of themes from the first two movies that I wish were represented here, but overall, it’s a fantastic and nostalgic soundtrack. Pixar has been on a roll with great soundtracks lately, it seems.
There isn’t a Pixar soundtrack I don’t like! And Toy Story 3 is probably in my top 5 Pixar soundtracks. It’s my third favorite Randy Newman soundtrack (After Princess and the Frog and Cars)
My favorite would have to be 10: You Got Lucky; not just because it was the song that introduced me to Chuckles, but it is so incredibly sad that it puts a sinister mood over the film all the way until the end.
Sorry for bringing this back, but there is/was a CD soundtrack for TS3. It’s sold out from this site in Japan. It sold for 2500yen or about $30. The title is TOYSTORY3/Original Sound Track CD (PROMO CD) and it lists these songs:
1 We Belong Together Randy Newman 4:02
2 You’ve Got a Friend In Me (Para el Buzz Espanol) Gipsy Kings 2:14
3 Cowboy! Randy Newman 4:10
4 Garbage? Randy Newman 2:40
5 Sunnyside Randy Newman 2:20
6 Woody Bails Randy Newman 4:40
7 Come to Papa Randy Newman 2:05
8 Go See Lotso Randy Newman 3:36
9 Bad Buzz Randy Newman 2:21
10 You Got Lucky Randy Newman 5:58
11 Spanish Buzz Randy Newman 3:31
12 What About Daisy? Randy Newman 2:07
13 To the Dump Randy Newman 3:50
14 The Claw Randy Newman 3:56
15 Going Home Randy Newman 3:22
16 So Long Randy Newman 4:55
17 Zu-Zu (Ken’s Theme) Randy Newman 0:34
Bryko614, I’m guessing this site owner orders a lot of regular Walt Disney/Pixar goods and these TS3 promo’s were given exclusively. This site usually has hard to find stuff limited to 5 or less items I’ve noticed. I don’t know of anyplace that sells hard to find Pixar stuff other than jbtoys.net from Japan.
If we want a physical CD, why would any of us rip the Cast and Crew CD, or listen to it ripped? Wouldn’t it be easier to ask Pixar? Couldn’t we just petition Disney?
The promo CD was something that would be sent out to record stores to sample to the content. In Toy Story 3’s case, the CD came as far as pre-ordering copies, but was scrapped at the last minute. That CD looks like a cool collectable, I might get one.
