You’ve got a friend in me!

May 10, 2010 · Posted in Movies · Comment 

I just love seeing what influences certain parts of a Disney movie. If you are like me, you will love this clip.

Pro dancers Cheryl Burke and Tony Dovolani from Dancing with the Stars choreographed a special Paso Doble to the Gipsy Kings’ version of “You’ve Got A Friend In Me”. They visited Pixar to perform their dance for the Toy Story 3 animators who drew inspiration from this unique Paso Doble while animating Buzz dancing with Jessie for the movie!
