Written and produced by Taylor Swift and Jack Antonoff, I Knew It, I Knew You will also be featured on the Toy Story 5 soundtrack, set to accompany the film’s release. The song is framed as tied to Jessie’s arc, a central character in the saga since Toy Story 2.
Directed by Andrew Stanton and co-directed by Kenna Harris, this fifth installment brings together Woody, Buzz, Jessie and Bonnie’s toys in a world where screens are taking center stage. The new character Lilypad, a connected tablet, sparks a clash between traditional play and digital habits in childhood.
The iconic French voices remain tied to the saga: Jean-Philippe Puymartin reprises Woody, Richard Darbois returns as Buzz Lightyear, and Barbara Tissier once again lends her voice to Jessie. Pierre Niney is also slated to voice Forky, while Laura Felpin, Jonathan Cohen, Jean-Pascal Zadi and Marine Leonardi join the French voice cast.
The official trailer for Toy Story 5 reintroduces Pixar's toys in a story that centers on their role with Bonnie as they face a new connected gadget.
