Edmilson 7,434 Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 I was largely unimpressed with Mancina's Moana score. I hope this one isn't as forgettable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSH 968 Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 I've liked everything that Mancina has done for animation so I'm rather looking forward to this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Guernsey 2,282 Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 The film looks like a lot of fun and the general credentials are quite promising, I'm cautiously optimistic on this one... (although I agree that his Moana score didn't quite hit the spot as I had hoped, and certainly not as enjoyable as Christophe Beck's Frozen scores).

Although to be fair the only reason I saw it was because my friend wanted to go and it had Peter Davison in it (the Fourth Doctor) and I got his autograph, but my friend then lost the programme. Dammit. The show wasn't exactly Hamilton, but it was pretty fun all the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,346 Posted July 14, 2022 Author Share Posted July 14, 2022 I'm finally listening to this, and like it a lot so far! The very first track is a great album-opener that puts you in the mood The track "The Fight of the Giant Crab" sounds like Elfman's Planet of the Apes though...

Stark 312 Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 This score is great swashbuckling fun, highly recommend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,346 Posted July 14, 2022 Author Share Posted July 14, 2022 I finished the album and I LOVED it! One of the best scores of 2022, easily! JNHFan2000 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,346 Posted July 15, 2022 Author Share Posted July 15, 2022 I listened to this score album again today and liked it again. Between this and Paws of Fury, it is so nice to have new big orchestral film scores to be excited about again, especially since Giacchino's blockbuster efforts let me down this year in different ways JTN 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,346 Posted July 19, 2022 Author Share Posted July 19, 2022 So are me and @Stark the only people on all of JWFan who like this score? I think it's really good and that a lot of JWFanners would like it. Sample this album opener, maybe it will encourage you to listen to the whole album!

Pretty enjoyable, even if it doesn't quite hit the heights of the scores it calls back to (HTTYD amongst others), but the mixture of orchestra and sea shanty style is a lot of fun, even if I couldn't for the life of me remember the main thematic material. However, will give it a few more listens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Jay 37,346 Posted July 19, 2022 Author Popular Post Share Posted July 19, 2022 Oh I don't think it's up there with Mancina's best work, nor the very best of the animated action/adventure genre, but it's still very good, and certainly among the very best of scores being made in the year 2022, and that's good enough for me to be pretty excited about it!

Agreed and it's a sensible length album! If it were 75 minutes, I think I'd have been bored by the end, but this is just a nice satisfying, fun and tuneful listen. Ideal music for BBQ prep (I just discovered). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,346 Posted July 19, 2022 Author Share Posted July 19, 2022 Yes I also appreciate the overall length, though it still disappoints me when its over because there is no real big wrap-up, climactic feel to anything at the end. A final suite track would have helped a lot I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trope 527 Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 Has anyone figured out the chronological order for this album by chance? I watched the movie recently and it's clear that the album tracks are out of order. Given that Mancina himself talks about the development of musical ideas, particularly the evolution of Jacob's theme, it would be great to listen to the music in its proper order, so as to hear these progressions.

Not to worry, I actually went back and listened to the film again, and this is the order I found: 2. THE SEA BEAST 8. THE HUNTERS CODE 10. JACOB INTO THE SEA 1. PRELUDE TO THE SEA [START-0:48] 6. CAPTAIN CROW 4. SOMEDAY [0:28-END] 9. ONE MORE TRY [0:40-END] 9. ONE MORE TRY [START-0:40] 15. WEAR IT DOWN 13. RED [0:46-END] 12. LITTLE BLUE [0:50-END] 7. THE FIGHT OF THE GIANT CRAB 16. BLUE AND MAISIE 4. SOMEDAY [START-0:28] 1. PRELUDE TO THE SEA [0:48-END] 12. LITTLE BLUE [START-0:50] 5. JACOB EVOLVING 14. GWEN BATTERBIE [0:30-END] 14. GWEN BATTERBIE [START-0:30] 3. KING AND QUEEN 11. CROW'S BETRAYAL 13. RED [START-0:46] 17. MAISIE'S SPEECH 18. WHEREVER THE WIND TAKES US END CREDITS SUITE: 6. CAPTAIN CROW [EXTENDED VERSION] 1. PRELUDE TO THE SEA [START-0:48] 9. ONE MORE TRY [0:40-END] 13. RED [0:52-END] 15. WEAR IT DOWN [1:57-2:44] UNRELEASED TRACK It appears that Mancina arranged the album for a better listening experience, moving around the music from the action-focused first half of the movie, and combining several disparate cues into complete tracks. There is also some great music missing from the album, such as the regal and patriotic first arrival at the king and queen's palace, as well as the percussion antics of the rope-swinging sequence on the beach. Overall, this is a very solid score by Mancina, with a blend of vibrant swashbuckling, intense action, and a lovely emotional heart. It's certainly a worthy successor to Moana, and I hope he continues writing for animated movies.

Trope 527 Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 Wow, nice catch. I've never heard this particular Elfman score, but those 3 repeating string col legno strikes are directly lifted from here. Another clear temp influence is Jack Sparrow from Pirates of the Caribbean 2, featured at the beginning of the track Little Blue. This to me was the only really obvious one. Jack Sparrow + Little Blue.m4a Here's a quick edit with both tracks playing on top of each other! Some minor chord alterations and phrase structure, but the influence is pretty evident.
