The Oscars are all deserved. My attraction isn't actually the songs (great as they are), but the lush, consonant, dynamic scores. No composer has as impressive a body of work in animation as Menken. Consonant, yes. That was always your big problem, too much bloody consonance. 😎 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor 7,473 Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Consonance for the win! (and occasionally a few sprinkles of Stockhausen). Not Mr. Big 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not Mr. Big 4,639 Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Horner's cartoon scores are too cutesy and forgettable for the most part. Plus there are only two really memorable ones (American Tail, and Land Before Time) while Powell has at least three great scores with the How to Train Your Dragon Trilogy There's also Hrton Heard A Who, which has great moments Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Powell well enough, but statements like this make this board a ridicule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blondheim 1,157 Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 Menken would also get my vote if he were included but this is an easy vote for Horner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kasey Kockroach 2,343 Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 I don’t remember most themes in Horner cartoon scores, but can whistle/hum Sid the sloth’s theme despite having not listened to the Ice Age scores in many months. That acknowledged, John Powell is my favorite composer (followed by Chris Young, Goldsmith, Broughton and John Scott), but I’m not compelled to find reason to look down upon the others’ virtues.
