Binding: Audio CDEAN: 0050087119508 Format: Soundtrack Label: Walt Disney Records Manufacturer: Walt Disney Records MPN: 000174302 Number Of Discs: 1 Publisher: Walt Disney Records Release Date: June 24, 2008 Studio: Walt Disney Records Editorial Review: Album Description: Synopsis: What if mankind had to leave Earth, and somebody forgot to turn the last robot off? Academy Award®-winning writer-director Andrew Stanton (Finding Nemo) and the inventive storytellers and technical geniuses at Pixar Animation Studios (The Incredibles, Cars, Ratatouille) transport moviegoers to a galaxy not so very far away for a new computer-animated cosmic comedy about a determined robot named WALL*E. After hundreds of lonely years of doing what he was built for, WALL*E(short for Waste Allocation Load Lifter Earth-Class) discovers a new purpose in life (besides collecting knick-knacks) when he meets a sleek search robot named EVE. EVE comes to realize that WALL*E has inadvertently stumbled upon the key to the planet's future, and races back to space to report her findings to the humans (who have been eagerly awaiting word that it is safe to return home). Meanwhile, WALL*E chases EVE across the galaxy and sets into motion one of the most exciting and imaginative comedy adventures ever brought to the big screen. Joining WALL*E on his fantastic journey across a universe of never-before-imagined visions of the future, is a hilarious cast of characters including a pet cockroach, and a heroic team of malfunctioning misfit robots. ....WALT DISNEY RECORDS proudly presents the WALL*E ORIGINAL SCORE by Thomas Newman. PLUS a BRAND NEW PETER GABRIEL single "Down To Earth". Album Description: What if mankind had to leave Earth and somebody forgot to turn the last robot off?

 Rating:  - Heartwarming and fantasticWhen I saw that Thomas Newman was composing the music for this movie, I was ecstatic. Finding Nemo has one of the best scores ever, so I had high expectations for Wall E. I wasn't disappointed. The music spreads over many different emotions present in the movie, from the haunting melody of "2815 AD" to the beautiful and heartwearming "Define Dancing," two of my favorites on the CD. The score keeps the futuristic setting in mind while still keeping the emotion. This is a fantastic soundtrack, made ... Read More Rating:  - One third of this album is just wonderfulThere are many instruments on this CD, and many that I've never even heard of... from unusual medieval instruments to the 'Musical Telegraph' (perhaps the first ever electronic instrument), the EWI (a kind of electronic saxophone), to Windharp, 'Granulated' Synthesizers (something usually only used in Noise Music), Marimba, Flapamba (??, and btw, can someone please tell me what a Floating Backward is?????)... 'Rendered' Harp, 'Dompteur Xylophone' etc...... an amazing mix of traditional and electronic ...

My CD wallet is always at least half full of soundtracks to take to work each day. I find them to be some of the best music for listening in the office. And this one...WOW. Starts off with music from Hello Dolly and never lets you down. The short 'themes' will put you right into WALL E's world and were well written in that the feel of the story comes across in each ... Read More Rating: - From the Earth to the Stars and BackWith the release of WALL*E, Pixar still remains king of the animation universe. The film itself is full of vivid images, warm emotion, and enduring actions. When it comes to animated films, what is actually seen on screen is usually what stands out most to people. However, great movies (and all of Pixar's pictures are great movies) also have elements in them that many people don't notice but are also key in the film's success. An example of this is the music. In a Pixar picture, the music is just ... Read More Rating: - Andrew Stanton and Thomas Newman have created a legendary filmOK, so I'm a complete sap. Even as I write this tears are forming. WALL-E is a Disney/Pixar film that will undoubtedly become a legend. I don't know how Andrew Stanton, Thomas Newman and their teams did it, but this is a movie like nothing you have ever seen before. I've heard all the gripes that the film offends overweight people (hey, I'm overweight and it didn't even come close to offensive). Other gripes range from ecological offenses, it's too liberal, and that the film is hypocritical because ... Read More |
