Toon Talk CD Round Up
Page 4 of 4
(c) Disney
Album Title: Return to Neverland
Album Type: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack
Whats Good About It: John McNeelys score achieves the
appropriate flights of fancy, most notably in the main titles evocations of songs
from the original Peter Pan.
Whats Not So Good About It: The overly contemporary songs,
penned by such disparate acts as They Might Be Giants (!) and Jonatha Brooke. No lyrics
here either.
Toon Talk Rating: C+

Album Title: Tron
Album Type: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack
Whats Good About It: Wendy Carlos eerie-cool electronic score
still resonates today, twenty years after the films release. Never-before released
bonus tracks include a haunting keyboard solo of the main theme.
Whats Not So Good About It: Not one, but two tracks by Eighties
has-beens Journey. The recent DVD had two missing score tracks, for the Light Cycle
scene and end credits, notably absent here.

Album Title: Who Framed Roger Rabbit

Whats Good About It: Another Disney soundtrack rarity, Alan
Silvestris eclectic score mixes everything from classic Hollywood bombast to film
noir atmospherics to freewheeling toon tunes. Highlight: Amy Irvings sultry Jessica
Rabbit torch number, Why Dont You Do Right?.
Whats Not So Good About It: No lyrics, otherwise this soundtrack is
perfect.
