THIS... They are totally different. The only real similarity is that they both have a magical quality. John Williams writes for the film what fits the best. He does not actively seek out to write extensions of ideas from one film for another totally unrelated film with a totally unrelated story. It doesn't work that way. However, magical in his mind is something that he seems to have a clear idea for. That texture is going to be similar. His thematic material comes down to what works dramatically. His goal is inevitability, which he accomplishes about 98% of the time.

Sorry KK but I don't think it is not enough for a case, if two cues are both in minor and using similar sounding instruments. For me Hook and Sorcerer's Stone are totally different.

This score and album are very good indeed. While Goldsmith's music is usually very entertaining, here I hear something even more fun, especially in latter part of his career. It's a bit more quirky and playful than his usual works tend to be, especially all the action music. And sounds fantastic as well. I even like how the synths are done here. Yes, a bit dated, but they create a cool ambience. Glad I bought this. Karol

I always suspected Ren looks good in tight black leather, and that photo confirms it.
