    I loved it in the movie, it elevates it greatly. Plus it brings out the innocence which the movie is about. But nevertheless, i don't think it should get all those awards if you look at things objectively but then again, why shouldn't it?

    Do awards matter all that much really, i mean apart their function as p.r. machines? And why should every modern score that gets nominated and awarded largely be automatically linked with glorious scores of the past which didn't? Are the awards of any kind really the criteria with which one can gauge any kind of quality whatsoever?

    So just what about it makes it so outstanding? I ask in genuine curiosity.


    I think it's a score that needs the film. Or the film needs the score. On first listen I was a bit meh about it as well. But once I saw the movie I understood it's greatness ( I did the same thing with Wall-E.) Yes, there is "Married Life" but that could have easily backfired if not done correctly. This was Giacchino's "The Enterprise" moment and like Goldsmith he went above and beyond delivering what will certainly be one of the most talked about cues in recent film music history.

    The thematic material is catchy and is well placed through the rest of the score especially in the high flying action material, which doesn't reach the heights of SWON, but is still incredibly exciting and very well composed. The integration of ALL the thematic material at the end of the film is extraordinary. Lots of interesting textures and layers all developing one on top of the other without sounding chaotic! It's an imaginative score with lots of heart and emotion!

    Now, I don't think it's up there with the greatest of all great scores - this isn't Star Wars, Ben-Hur or Casablanca we are talking about here - but out of the crop of score that came out in 2009 this one stood tall and the film itself gave Giacchino a rare opportunity to really let his music stand out.

    Interesting to see that Thomas Newman didn't get the John Carter of Mars project. Giacchino seems like a good choice to me.

    The Curse Of The Were Rabbit seemed too CGI-ish, or computer assisted at least. The old shorts were sooo much better.

    I think some of that is down to the score. The music in the shorts was so charming; the feature length one, really rather crass.

    Were Rabbit had CGI? I thought it was all plasticene? I guess I shouldn't be surprised if there were a few touches.

    Yes. But the movie was all MV'd up and wasn't that great. The shorts (even the most recent one) all have a much higher standard of music. I WISH they'd get released as they're brilliantly over the top.

    Ah. slant Catering to a more generic public.
    I never listened to the film score properly I have to admit.

    I think some short suites from the shorts were made available somehow somewhere.
    I know I have them... but where...?

    His 'A Matter Of Loaf & Death' score was brilliant. Shame it isn't available (not to my knowledge at least?)

    I think that there was a Julian Nott promo CD doing the rounds a while back. I've kept an eye out for it once in a while but have never been able to find a copy.

    Yeah - and so much classier. The musical decisions in the feature were dreadful (using that wonderful main theme as an action track, for instance - completely idiotic).

    There was a really short promo with some tracks from the third one in, and the train chase cue from the second..but that's all I've been able to find.

    I always think it would be great if Micheal gets a chance to score a traditional animated movie (hand-drawn or stop motion). Let's hope John Lasseter will pick him for a future Disney project.

    The rabbits floating in the machine (and the end credits) were all CGI. And some special effects.

    Though I enjoyed the Were-Rabbit score mostly because of Julian's Anti-Pesto theme lick , nothing can beat the Wrong Trousers.

    The shorts ARE Wallace & Gromit. So much better than the movie and the scores are incredible.
