Author	Topic: New Poll! Best animated score?

Nicolai P. Zwar Oscar® Winner	The best films score ever written for an animated motion picture is Leonard Rosenman's The Lord of the Rings. By quite a margin. But I guess I shouldn't be surprised to see that even such a routine effort as The Lion King has gotten considerably more votes. NP: Carmine Coppola and Francis Coppola Apocalypse Now -- Redux (Nonsesuch) [Message edited by Nicolai P. Zwar on 10-12-2001]

enigmaron Oscar® Winner	Hey, how about the movie "CHICKEN RUN"....that qualify's as an "animated" film doesn't it? It's also a beautiful score, and especially for such a goofy movie. NP: BAD DAY AT BLACK ROCK...Andre' Previn

Marian Schedenig Oscar® Winner	Chicken Run is fantastic, but Peter was obviously referring to "animated" as in "animated cartoons", excluding "clay-mation" (sp?). And for the cartoon genre, I agree with Nicolai: LOTR is LOTR. NP: By Request (Boston Pops Orchestra, John Williams)

LemonsAreIcky Oscar® Winner	Why isn't The last Unicorn on there, that had one of the best soundtracks of all time.

SFT Oscar® Winner	For what it´s worth, my absolute favourite score to an animated film is Horner's "The Land Before Time". Probably his best score to date - for me, anyway. I mean, damn! How many good themes can a score have?? And it elevated the film far above its initial potential - actually, when you think about it, Horner more or less saved that film. SFT

Ron Pulliam Oscar® Winner	This poll reminds me of those FSM polls that claim to have you select the best Jerry Goldsmith score of all time from a select few, absolutely omitting "The Blue Max" and "The Wind and the Lion" and a few others -- JG's best scores, IMO! Frankly,THE best damned score ever written for an animated film was "Bambi"! "Love is a song that never ends...." Second is "Song of the South"! "Zip-a-dee-doo-dah, zip-a-dee-ay!... "Sooner or later you're gonna be comin' around...I betcha...I betcha that I'll catch ya...you wait and see.... "This heart of mine is in the heart of Dixie, that's where I belong, singing a song...a Song of the South...." Lots of argument could then ensue about third best, but I think it hands down belongs to ALAN MENKEN for either "Beauty and the Beast" or "Hunchback of Notre Dame." ALL THE REST IS CHAFF, comparatively speaking. Okay...that's MY opinion...! [Message edited by Ron Pulliam on 10-24-2001]

PeterK FishChip	Ron, it shouldn't remind you of such, as I made a point to state "of the choices presented" in the very first post (first sentence!) of this thread, and in several subsequent messages. I harp on this issue because I knew people would react as violently as they have about what was not included on the list. I wanted to make it clear very early on that this wasn't a "best ever" poll. The majority of contributors to this thread still didn't get it. As a result, the polls will probably go the way of the... homegrocer.com website.
