Bofur01 245 Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 I just saw the film yesterday, and loved it - thought the music was mixed perfectly well for the most part, and stood out wonderously in a few places Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kasey Kockroach 2,344 Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 The final rendition of the 'test drive' theme during the last minute or so of "Once There Were Dragons" gives me life. Smaug The Iron 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight of Ren 789 Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 I watched the movie yesterday and loved it. In my opinion it was a perfect ending to the trilogy. The score in context was even better and the album is a great representation of the whole score, with very few missing tracks. The most significant piece of missing music is a rendition of the Forbidden Friendship Theme and The Alpha's Theme when Spoiler Toothless and the Light Fury get captured on the cliffside by Grimmel right after The Hidden World and before Armada Battle. Other than that the most interesting tracks are all on album. BTW, I loved the more silent moments where the music got the be on the front and guide the story like in Third Date or in The Hidden World sequence. Truly magical and a testament of Powell's great skills. Arpy and Smaug The Iron 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kasey Kockroach 2,344 Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 Intriguing choice that the "fate theme" plays during the wedding scene, rather than Astrid's theme (the more obvious choice since it doubles as the love theme). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caliburn 72 Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 For who is interested in my thoughts, here is my review https://soundtrackworld.com/2019/02/how-to-train-your-dragon-the-hidden-world-john-powell/ I really love all the details in this thread about the use of themes during specific scenes. I tried to keep my review spoiler-free though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,355 Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 There aren't that many animated series where the same composer scored 3 entries. Toy Story (4 by Randy Newman), Madagascar (3 by Hans Zimmer), Ice Age (3 by John Powell), Kung Fu Panda (3 by Zimmer & Powell), Hotel Translyvania (3 by Mark Mothersbaugh)... not sure if there any others Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But by that same logic, Shrek would count too since Gregson-Williams worked on all three and Powell only on the first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I really like Randy Newman's Toy Story scores, specially the first two, which were part of my childhood. I could listen to the OSTs and remember each scene from the movies!
