Kraft-Engel management listed Mr. Peabody & Sherman in Danny’s credits.
2014 Twentieth Century Fox
Rob Minkoff, dir.First Blue Sky, now Dreamworks, next Pixar!
Really though, this doesn’t sound all that great, the movie I mean.
I’ve gotta say, I loved the original animated version. I hope this one isn’t loaded with calamitous chases, pop-culture references and fart jokes. Kind of what every DreamWorks animated pic is.
Beside his collaboration with Burton, I always found his animation picks (and scores) pretty underwhelming…
Well the only other one is Meet The Robinsons, which admittedly this one sounds a lot closer to.
The plot synopsis reads like 90 minutes of gags, hopefully there’s more to it than that. If it’s in line with Dreamworks’ last March releases like How To Train Your Dragon or even The Croods all will be well.
I read an interview with the director today and he said the movie will be finished in a month so it sounds about right?

23.Grizfolk – Way Back When 02:46Saw the movie just there, lots of fun and genuinely hilarious. There are two themes, one for Peabody and one for Sherman, that are used extensively. The score is omnipresent with a lot of mickey mousing. Not a major Elfman score by any means but there should certainly be a solid 40 minute album out of it.
Elfman’s cue for the Dreamworks logo, a mini-suite of the Peabody theme, is really awesome.
Here’s the track that plays over the Dreamworks logo.

Has anyone else got the CD and found themselves really enjoying it? I think the first two tracks alone might be worth the price of admission, as it were. It’s got a really classic Elfman sound that reminds me quite frequently of the ‘Amazing Stories’ tracks from MFADT and other light hearted fare from that period. Out of the his three recent fantasy scores (this, Oz and Epic) I think this may be my favourite. The film was also my favourite of the aforementioned, as well.
I’ve ordered it from Amazon.ca, so it won’t ship until next week. I’ve heard the first two tracks and they are fantastic – like a merge between BACK TO SCHOOL, FAMILY DOG and his “Overeager Overture.” Looking forward to having the CD in my hands.
Ahh, such a breath of fresh air! This album is a delightful departure from all of the trendy “epic” trailer style scores droning on and on! It reminds me of Flubber’s playfulness. It’s also great to finally hear some Egyptian Elfman. Very pleased…I love it!
There are several additional composers on this one, it seems to be more and more frequent in Elfman’s scores. Do you know exactly how much work they do on a score ?
