Mr. Coulais has composed that most elusive of soundtracks: his music provides a wonderful second voice to the fantastic visuals of the film, and the score on its own is highly enjoyable and meticulously produced. A refreshingly musical and melodic soundtrack that stands out from the usual language found in films today.
A delightful movie with intriguing music....it matches the movie perfectly.
When my wife & I saw this movie in the theater, I think both of us assumed the music was by Danny Elfman. We later learned we were wrong, but that did not change how delightful this soundtrack is, or how well it fits this wonderful movie. I'm looking forward to seeing it again, but having the soundtrack is going to help in the interim.
...as contradictory as those traits may seem. This music stays with you and is infinitely charming.
I haven't seen the movie, but I definately fell in love with this soundtrack and would love to see the movie one day.
Wonderful short variations with different moods.
If you like the early Elfman scores, or scores by Thomas Newman, you will love this!
Another magical soundtrack from Bruno Coulais of Winged Migration fame. Slightly Elfman with a sweeter charm. Check out Mice Circus (my girl's favorite) and Fantastic Garden, a perfect track for such a LSD like sequence...
