"You've Got a Friend in Me" (君はともだち Kimi Wa Tomodachi?, lit. "You Are My Friend") is a musical composition by Yoko Shimomura that appears in Kingdom Hearts III. It is the field theme of Toy Box.

Appearances

"You've Got a Friend in Me" is the field theme of Toy Box in Kingdom Hearts III.

Kingdom Hearts III

  • Toy Box: "The Masked Intruders", "It Wasn't Always This Lonely", "Dino-napped", "Rex Impresses", "Buzz's Doubts", "The Chamber of Andy", "Where's Rex?", "To Save a Friend", "To Infinity and Beyond"

Composition

"You've Got a Friend in Me" is approximately four minutes and sixteen seconds in Kingdom Hearts III. The piece has a time signature of 4/4, and a tempo of 126 beats per measure.

Instrumentation includes a full string section—violins, violas, cellos, and basses—along with clarinets, oboes, muted trumpets, trombones, piano, flutes, a triangle, and snare drums, and cymbals. A piano and flute duo perform the first and second verse in addition to the bridge, while the third verse replaces the flute with a violin. Snaps are also heard during the second verse of the song.

At its core, this rendition is an instrumental version of "You've Got a Friend in Me" from the original Toy Story movie. The rendition's instrumentation is fairly faithful to the original, replacing an electric guitar and tuba bass line with a plucked double bass and removing the original's hints of guitar, and still retains the relaxed, friendly, and almost nostalgic nature of the original track.
