Gnome in Plaid 219 Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 On 7/11/2019 at 6:16 PM, Fabulin said: The 1994 Lion King OST was like orchestral soul music. Half of the instrument and rhytmic/melodic choices were quite haunting. This one sounds like Black Panther mixed with Epic Trailer Music, which to me breaks most of the dramatism. At first I was actually kind of boiling internally, because to pollute a rather delicate score with the aesthetic of 2010s pop soundtracks is bafflingly sacrilegious. That being said, the reimaginings of the two action cues are quite good as far as the use of themes goes. Remind me of the score to the sequel more than the original. And I really liked this moment: "Mufasa don't die pls" Well put. It really sounds more like an amateur mock-up of The Lion King than something new: "sure, it's good, but it needs more Zebra and amplified solo cello." I'll admit I do like some of the choral revisions in "The Stampede," though. It's also baffling just how badit sounds at points. Something's really off with the tuning in a couple places. It's really a shame; the suite on the "World of Hans Zimmer" album was so well-done and I had hopes the new album would be in that vein. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giftheck 916 Posted August 10, 2019 Author Share Posted August 10, 2019 There's only two tracks that truly bother me, and even then only half of each track - the latter halves of "Stampede" and "Reflections of Mufasa". It's not the fact they're at a different pitch. It's the fact that they sound like they've been artifically reduced in pitch, during mixing. Bumping them up to the same pitch as the 1994 equivalents makes them sound far more natural. Also, the ending of "Reflections of Mufasa" is unsatisfying compared to the original anyway, and I really don't think Spirit worked in the place it went. It would have worked as a song in the end credits. That sequence could have had an extended version of Busa Simba. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyD 1,220 Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 I think it is fair to say that the whole project is a disappointment and pointless. The 1994 masterpiece reigns, both film and soundtrack. Just stick with that. blondheim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Guernsey 2,277 Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 Interesting comments on the score. I have to admit that I broadly enjoyed the score and most of the redos of the songs in the remake although I can understand not enjoying that it’s all amped up to 11. I think I was most surprised by the fact that the score and songs were so similar to the original when most of the other Disney live action remakes have had fairly different scores for the most part even if the songs are broadly the same. Having said all that I thought the film was atrocious and couldn’t wait for it to end. If they had to do it they should have asked whoever did the daemons in the recent tv version of His Dark Materials as the animation there showed 100 times more personality than Disney managed (technically brilliant that it mostly is). There’s a reason that movies about talking animals are animated… (although the “live” action version is just a super realistic CGI movie when a semi-realistic one would have better).

Stark 307 Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 I am convinced this film was a tech demo. Disney’s people were designing new tech and someone said “hey, what if we make some money instead of spending money?” I did think the film’s score was as interesting as it could have been, given that much of it is a re-recording. I’m interested in the next one’s score, Zimmer and Britell is an interesting combo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In terms of farming, I mean, John Powell farms his cues out and he is a favorite around here...so do Giacchino, Tyler, McCreary, Beltrami...etc. How sure are you they wrote the music you are playing?

I was referring to the fact that Zimmer did not compose the two follow-ups. Those were done by Nick Glennie-Smith and Don Harper, respectively. 1 minute ago, Koray Savas said: Imagine calling Nick Glennie-Smith a lackey. Hyperbole is fun, isn't it?
