KingPin 201 Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 You're kidding, right? First, I don't think it sounds all that much like Williams, although it is a very nice score in my opinion. Second, a composer with as much Hollywood presence as Williams could likely pick and choose which films he writes for. I doubt he would resort to creating an alias for fear of loss of reputation. Besides, I would think that the filmmakers would WANT Williams name attached to a film if he composed it. I also think that Air Bud was a Disney film. And when was the last time Williams scored a film under Disney? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John McClane 1 Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 The real question is:Why John Williams would want to score a movie with a dog that plays basketball? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebertfan92 0 Posted July 3, 2006 Author Share Posted July 3, 2006 "Why John Williams would want to score a movie with a dog that plays basketball?"Probably because it's original, and never been done before? And because the dog is a good actor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to understand, this was around the time Lucas sent him the TPM script. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tony69 0 Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 bbh is jazz? i thought we said somewhere earlier it was contemporary elevator music, maybe easy listening. i dont hear jazz in that. course when i think jazz, i think dixieland, or cool, or bebop or fusion.

Red 75 Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 I think it has some jazz elements, but I think it would be classified as easy listening or maybe contemporary jazz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panthera 0 Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 http://z4.invisionfree.com/Silvestri_Howar...?showtopic=1119Notice anything similar? Same original poster asking an almost identical question on the Alan Silvestri message board. I find that quite suspicious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indiana_Fett 0 Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 Yeah John, like JW needs that money!Of course JW would never score B-movies like this.Totally.Scoring Air Bud would be an insult to Williams' great and succesful career with scores such as E.T., Star Wars, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Schindler's List, Superman, Heartbeeps, Always, The Fury, Space Camp, Stanley and Iris, 1941, Yes Giorgio, Black Sunday, Fitzwilly, and John Goldfarb, Please Come Home! No thanks, B-Movies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John McClane 1 Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 It would be weird to have the same composer for Air Bud and Star Wars.Then he could score porn movies too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
