Ep. 120 - Thomas Newman's 'WALL-E'
Kid's Corner • Adventure, Animation, Kids and Family, Music, 06-Dec-2021
It is hard to believe that this film was made nearly 13 years ago, with a message that is so much more poignant in todays age. What is there not to love about this film? Andrew Stanton's beautiful Pixar-animated feature is one of our absolute favorite films and scores of all-time. This scene in particular is at the beginning of the story, when we are just introduced to WALL-E as a character. Juxtaposing his innocent routine and perspective with the garbage-strewn wasteland of Earth is striking, and Newman again does what he does best - creating a warm, but foreboding feeling as we are thrown into WALL-E's routine.
It is without question that everyone should see and experience this film. If you haven't done so, do so immediately.

Who can forget the 1991 Spielberg film, 'Hook'? It is, by far, one of John Williams' best scores to-date. Nominated for a Grammy, there are moments in this film that are strikingly gorgeous when combining the set design, Spielberg's direction, and Robin Williams' emotional performance.
