Kasey Kockroach 2,344 Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Okay, first off, I promise this is the last time I pull out a thread like this! The dinosaur one was just for a gag, but in this case, I've been genuinely curious as to what folks will have to say in terms of a comparison/contrast. It's a peculiar case, two composers that probably wouldn't battle to the death in real life, yet here we are, they've tackled similar projects not far from each other (this and Rogue One VS Solo). Particularly quaint that these two would come the same year. Is it an unfair fight seeing as how Coco offers songs to go along with the Giacchino score, while Ferdinand only has one song and it's not included on the score album? Or are Ferdinand's brutish strengths more than enough to overcome the lack of songs? Or should we take Ferdinand's advice and not fight at all? Let us discuss!

John 2,032 Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Unpopular opinion, but I prefer Coco. Both are fine scores, though. I also might add that Coco is the superior film, by a wide margin. Arpy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kasey Kockroach 2,344 Posted May 30, 2018 Author Share Posted May 30, 2018 I have no physical preferences in regards to an ideal romantic companion. My only requirement is that they're not a fan of Trump. At least, that's the only grounds I can think of for not being interested in a girl. 16 minutes ago, Holko said: Shouldn't you be severin' your ties to your parents and move to your manor in Solstheim with that name, Snape?

Arpy 4,145 Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 I think both films have their problems (Ferdinand more so) but I feel Coco has emotional resonance and weight that is also reflected in the score and the songs. Both films are and scores are different but effective in their respective films. I don't see why these polls and threads exist if only as a jab to incite more negativity when Giacchino is brought up.

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 I think I pointed this out once before, but only one of these scores is Mexican flavored. Ferdinand is Spanish. 36 minutes ago, Arpy said: I think both films have their problems (Ferdinand more so) but I feel Coco has emotional resonance and weight that is also reflected in the score and the songs. Oh yeah, Coco is a much better movie. My attachment to Ferdinand is purely musical. It's comparing one of Powell's masterpieces (IMO) to Giacchino's "least good" Pixar score. Well except for maybe his Cars score, which I've never heard. Kasey Kockroach 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kasey Kockroach 2,344 Posted May 31, 2018 Author Share Posted May 31, 2018 To be fair, I can't imagine even Powell wanting to bother giving Cars 2 an interesting score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
