We've had a great year for animation, but one aspect of these animated films that are rarely being discussed is the music. Believe it or not, not ONLY has animation managed to one-up many of the live action movies this year in terms of quality, but the soundtracks are also more memorable then most of the live action films. Of course Michael Giacchino looks like a shoo in to get a nomination for his (yet to be released on CD) score for "Up," but let's face it: That nomination - while justified - will be there just to rack up the nominations for Pixar. Below are some of the OTHER animated scores that deserve to recognized by the Academy (but most likely won't):
Ponyo
Up
Personally, if I had to award an Oscar to a score this year, it would be for "Ponyo." Thankfully the score of "Ponyo" IS available on CD...for those willing to play the import game. For those who WANT to play the import game but don't know how,
here's a good place to start.
