Jacob and Aaron tried their hand at “You’ve Got a Friend in Me”… but we think its best if they just leave these things to the professionals!

Good thing that it will be the Butler Philharmonic performing Randy Newman’s iconic score live during the special showing of Disney and Pixar’s Toy Story in Concert at RiversEdge Next Friday!

These two may not be ready for the concert stage just yet, but we give them points for enthusiasm. And yes, our friends at Disney did have to watch and approve this!
