Heres a good one. See if you can answer it.
Which movies and televeision shows that Danny has written music fo have a video game based on them?
Spider-Man
Hulk
Men In Black
The Nightmare Before Christmas
BatmanThere’s gotta be others I’m forgetting.
Mars Attacks! I remember buying a Mars Attacks alien figurine, and as a bonus a small computer game was included on a floppy disc. It was really lame, but it still counts.
I can’t believe no one has mentioned Dolores Claiborne!
Remember those great commercials? — “Marvel as Kathy Bates runs clumsily though a corn field!”
“[Female chorus] Dolores Claiborne!”
Producer of the Animated Series, Bruce Timm:
When we got around to needing a Main Title theme, Shirley did a piece based on the character theme she’d created for the show. We storyboarded the animation to her track, and then it turned out at the 11th hour that Danny Elfman was interested in doing the Main Titles. So that was a tricky situation because we’d had Shirley do this piece. There was a lot of discussion about how Danny’s name would be a marquee draw. We’d already had the animation timed to Shirley’s piece, but we didn’t use it as a temp track for him.
We told him for money reasons it couldn’t be the actual theme from the movie. So it was tough for him to come up with something that recalled the flavour of the movie without using exactly the same notes. He had to sort of clone himself.
