Muad'Dib 1,802 Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Interesting choice... So he's scoring this and the short that precedes it, right?Pixar's new household composer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KK 3,307 Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Pity. We could have gotten something really cool out of this.Danna is good too though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leeallen01 2,136 Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 His music worked great for the visually stunning scenes in Life of Pi. Some scenes in that were almost Pixar-like in their vibrant colours. Some nice piano moments with enough exotic flavouring will suit the Good Dinosaur well, so I'm optimistic for Danna. Newman was always my first choice for it though so a shame not to hear his take. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crocodile 8,012 Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 That is an inspired choice! Bring it on!He did one really good score for an animated film before: Karol publicist and mrbellamy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max 141 Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 I would rather have had Giacchino over Newman or Danna, but I honestly didn't think Giacchino was going to score this after the busy spring/summer he's already had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,364 Posted May 21, 2015 Author Share Posted May 21, 2015 Including the next 3 ones coming out, there are 17 Pixar films. Of the 17:7 were scored by Randy Newman (Toy Story 1-3, A Bug's Life, Monsters Inc, Cars, Monsters U)5 were scored by Michael Giacchino (The Incredibles, Ratatouille, Up, Cars 2, Inside Out)3 were scored by Thomas Newman (Finding Nemo, Finding Dory, WALL-E)and the last 2 are one-off jobs (Patrick Doyle on Brave and Mychael Danna on The Good Dinosaur)If Randy Newman gets Toy Story 4 he'll go up to 8; If Giacchino gets Incredibles 2 and Cars 3 he'll go up to 7.We still don't know who is scoring their Día de los Muertos one yet, either.

Jay 37,364 Posted May 21, 2015 Author Share Posted May 21, 2015 Of course, Giacchino has also scored 5 of their short films (One Man Band, Lifted, Partly Cloudy, Day & Night, and La Luna) and 2 of their TV specials (Toy Story of Terror, Toy Story That Time Forgot) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedBard 71 Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 So Giacchino is still Pixar's top go-to composer for their productions, both big and small.Let the battle for the crown begin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
