Incanus 5,714 Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 Well that looks like the smallest expansion like ever man! But since I don't own this Horner fantasy score I am tempted to get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DreamTheater 131 Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 This is an underrated Horner gem... but I there's only a couple of minutes extra material, and the old CD already has great sound, so I won't be getting the new edition.Anyone that hasn't yet... get it !

Marian Schedenig 8,193 Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 It's a great score. You won't regret buying it.Not familiar with the unreleased music, though.Same here. One of Horner's best for me. I'd be much more interested in this than in Braveheart or Dances With Wolves, but it doesn't look like it's really worth upgrading from the old release.

publicist 4,643 Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 I have beaten the drum for this quite often over the years.

BloodBoal 7,538 Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 Noticed just now that there are some characters on the album cover that didn't even show up in the film (like Humpty Dumpty, or that skeleton woman)! I'm guessing they were part of deleted scenes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricard 2,245 Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 That score was a compulsory buy back when it was released. I've just noticed that the track order on the new release is identical to the original CD (except for the extra tracks and the songs included at the end). Does it mean that the original album was already in chronological order? Or did they follow the album sequence for this release? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nightscape94 965 Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 Very pleasant, adventurous and pretty magical Horner score. Even though the movie is pretty bad, the material still lent itself to good score writing. The OST was close to complete already, wasn't it? Explains the moderate expansion here. The main them is typical Horner but the music itself is infectious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 It's a classic in its own weird way due to the Horner score and abundance of Star Trek actors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fommes 153 Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 I've got the OST for ages and it's been at least a decade since I listened to it. By the way, wasn't this considered mediocre Horner back in the day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trope 527 Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 I see that this is inexplicably back in stock again, although I was under the impression that it was sold out a while ago. Is this score worth picking up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smeltington 1,440 Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 @Jurassic Shark thinks so. And I ended up liking it. If you like other Horner kids stuff, you ought to like this too. Trope 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
