Popular Post NL197 368 Posted October 28, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted October 28, 2022 The OST was abysmal. Set aside the dialogue intrusion and the mess of songs, the (few) score cues there were, weren't the best sounding because they likely had to try and boost them to match the songs. It was just all-around bad. The promo was a revelation in comparison. To have even that just be made legit would be great. Christmas comes early!

That's because in the film (like on the album - the promo uses a slightly different take) the score is taken over for a moment by the "Whoville Band" so the singing / fart sounds are matching the on-screen performance.

Popular Post Jean-Baptiste Martin 254 Posted October 28, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted October 28, 2022 I hope there will be the three unreleased songs: "Who-bilation" whose melody is repeated several times in the middle of the story, but also "How I Love Who-liday Shopping" and "Come, Come All Ye Whos". Listening to these songs would allow us to understand all the work done by James Horner and Cynthia Weil before the filming.

Richard Penna 3,686 Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 I've not heard a note of Horner's score for this, and judging by that clip I'd probably absolutely hate the film. Enjoy though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holko 9,525 Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 Never seen the movie or heard the score, didn't even know Horner did it. 12 minutes in, no thanks. Ugh. I might check the score out on its own. It starts out very promising, totally Scissorhands, but then goes into the messy kind of Elfmanyness that's not that much for me.

Popular Post Jean-Baptiste Martin 254 Posted October 28, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted October 28, 2022 For those who are interested, the lyrics of the songs are visible on these pages: "How I Love Who-liday Shopping" https://www.mann-weil.com/lyrics34.html "Who-bilation" and "Come, Come All Ye Whos" https://www.mann-weil.com/lyrics36.html For various reasons that will be explained in the book, these songs are barely audible and shortened in the film. This new edition is probably the only opportunity to release them. I hope LLL was able to find them.

It's a kinda fun hodgepodge of styles (the linked example goes from the Star Wars rebel fanfare - sort of - to his 48 Hours-style in one minute) and while it's of no great consequence (Horner had written this stuff like 10 times before for Casper or We're Back), it's a nice addition to this kind of Horner scoring for blatantly commercial 'family' movies (lots of sugar and eye candy).

Edmilson 7,436 Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 I'm surprised that so much people here haven't seen the movie, it was the highest grossing film of 2000 at the American Box Office. OTOH, how such a poorly received movie managed to outgross Mission: Impossible 2 and Gladiator is a mystery to me. https://www.boxofficemojo.com/year/2000/?grossesOption=totalGrosses It was only successful on the United States, though. Outside of the domestic market, its grosses were minuscule. I guess Dr. Seuss is more popular in English-speaking countries. TSMefford 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Know 326 Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 I would really give anything to have an instrumental version of the cue "He Carves the Roast Beast," but that's probably too much to ask.

Andy 4,123 Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 I can’t remember the film because the cinematographer smeared so much vaseline on the lens. That, and my brain represses the awfulness to protect itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was that a parody in the film or another case of Horner "borrowing"? We had to license that from the publisher so it's more or less a direct lift MV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
