MSM 126 Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 I think it was one of the veterans coming up with it. Miguel I believe, maybe King Mark. I think the thread was about what kind of movies one wanted to be scored by Williams in the future. The Jurassic Park animation clip was also discussed in there, and John Williams mickey mousing styles in Home Alone among others. Alan Menken was discussed. I might have said something like I wished Williams would have scored Beauty and the Beast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damo 0 Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 Well you don't have to have a Disney film to be animated like Pirates of the Caribbean so probably is a good idea to have John Williams have a go at a Disney film. After all these years Disney had never use John Williams for a film of theirs so to me it sound an unlikely thing that would happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Jones 0 Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 Hmmm Williams has composed Home Alone 1 and 2.. I think we actually Have two scores for an "animated" film.. all that mickey mousing.. it's very cartoonish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Breakfast Jim 0 Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 Hi folks! I'm new here and have "lurked" I guess they call it - for a long timre. I mainly download Williams mp3s from the internet. My favorite Williams music is Forest Gump, followed by The Olympic Spirit. Is it true that John Williams is writing music for a Disney movie? If so, this is wonderful news! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hitch 57 Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 Least we not forget that Johnny used Disney's "When you wish upon a star" song quote in CE3K. And Jerry wrote probably one of his best scores of the 90s with Disney's MULAN. Isn't Williams still working with Walt Dis....Steven Spielberg????

It only reports the information about the films and and listing the cast, the crew and the production and all that. But that wasn't the point really. I mean, you're saying that he was linked to this film called "THE BLACK CAULDRON" in the mid eighties as if you saying the he was part of that film or doing the score for that film back then but the fact he wasn't. You were probably just reading fake rumors or false information back then that he was linked to that film... By the way John Williams left the Superman series. But he still credited for every other sequel films that he left for the other composers to use his themes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wojo 2,453 Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 I'm gonna go out on a limb here, and destroy every shred of decent credibility I have to REEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAALLY stretch the truth.The argument is not that JW hasn't scored a Disney film, which he has, he has not scored a Disney cartoon.Before you say that I'm crazy and should go away for another four years, hear me out.All the original Star Wars films had their share of...how to say it, fake actors. That is to say, characters who were not people in costumes, nor had we reached the point of CGI wizardry, which wouldn't hit until Tron and Willow some time later. Star Wars had fabulous masks inside the cantina, but The Empire Strikes Back introduced us to Yoda, who was basically a Muppet under the control of Frank Oz. Return of the Jedi took it to all new high with the return of Yoda, but also dozens of new creatures seen in Jabba's summer home and on the Khetanna, and also Jabba himself. So many puppets made the cut for Jedi, that many consider Return of the Jedi to be the Muppet movie of the Star Wars trilogy. Muppet and Ewok movie, that's it.A-ha, John Williams scored a Muppet movie! But weren't the Muppets purchased recently by The Walt Disney company?John Williams scored not 1, but 2 Disney movies! I rest my case, good night, godspeed Spiderman, and seeya later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
