filmmusic 1,826 Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 I was just listening to a very beautiful song from an animation film, and I thought to come up with this thread, since I love animation films too and there are many excellent songs.I didn't include Disney because I think there are far too many beautiful songs in there, and it would be unfair to try to make a top10 list with those included.So, I get started (hope many of you are into this kind of music):(i tried to put them by order of preference)1) Once upon a December (Anastasia)2) Somewhere out there (An American Tail)3) Let me Be your Wings (Thumbellina)4) Lookin though your eyes (Quest for Camelot)5) Summer of Goodbye (From Up on poppy Hill) (ok, this is an anime but had to put it)6) When You Believe (The Prince of Egypt)7) River Lullaby (The Prince of Egypt)8) This is Halloween (The Nightmare before Christmas) (Disney was the production company for the 3d, so I don't take it as a Disney film)9) Jack's Lament (The Nightmare before Christmas)10) If We Hold on together (The Land Before time)*Honorable mention:Far Longer than Forever (Swan Princess) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stewdog1 50 Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 I've always been partial to "There are No Cats in America" from An American Tail."Movin' Right Along" from the Muppet Movie is another personal favorite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quintus 5,399 Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Always liked Deliver Us from Prince of Egypt, but I'd have to think a while to find my favourite . The most tuneful would be The Land Before Time song, sans Diana Ross. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

publicist 4,643 Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Most of Horner's cartoon songs are good, even if the pop versions tend to be terrible. The main theme from ONCE UPON A FOREST is a great tearjerker, too...the performance is...well, judge for yourself: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wojo 2,453 Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Always liked Deliver Us from Prince of Egypt, but I'd have to think a while to find my favourite . The most tuneful would be The Land Before Time song, sans Diana Ross.I always liked "If We Hold On Together," even with her singing! That's a happy childhood memory right there, as TLBT was the first movie that I remember seeing in the cinemas. Though in my album sequencing, I moved it to the end to truly become the end credits, instead of an oddball spike in the middle of the album."I'm So Ronery" from Team America.

Naïve Old Fart 9,516 Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 As diabetic coma-inducing as it is, I've always had a soft spot for "Somewhere Out There".Also "Playing With The Big Boys" is fantastic!Ooh, that's pretty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

indy4 155 Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 These three musicals are the only non-Disney animated musical scores I own.You mean you haven't seen any other non-Disney animation film at all??I have, but I don't remember the music well enough. And a "non-Disney musical animated film score" is a fairly narrow category. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wojo 2,453 Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 It's not that narrow. You've got:Tim Burton's movies, mostly mentioned alreadyThe Don Bluth animated films of the 80s and 90sThe Dreamworks films of the 90s to the presentAdult-oriented animated films like South Park, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, etc.The Ralph Bakshi films of the 70s and 80sThe entire anime genre, which is vastThe animated films from non-Disney studios like Warner Brothers and Hanna-Barbara, etc. including the Looney Tunes, Flintstones, Jetsons, etc.All animated films that pre-date Disney and/or were contemporaries of his that produced non-feature length shortThen you've got to ask whether non-animated techniques like puppetry and stop-motion count, which open the door to the Muppets (classic era, pre-Disney purchase), Team America, and Claymation.
