The songs and dialogue in animated films are always recorded first. The animators do their work, the film is edited, effects added and the score is written and recorded.

Thanks, Nuno. I recall someone saying that the song reminded them of Boingo (sometimes an overused statement) and I guess this confirms that as fact!

You know I’m actually excited that Elfman is doing a big, serious thriller / adult-drama. He gets stuck in the fantasy/whimsy genre sometimes and then scores one of these. I’m looking forward to the film too (I liked THE RUNDOWN, sue me!)

Nothing will happen until probably the New Year because it’s Christmas in three days, so everyone is out-of-the-office. I’m working on the details next week. Stay tuned!
Ryan
There’ll probably be a deal where you buy one get one free. I haven’t put together all of the details yet because I’ve been so busy. Stay tuned.

Sorry, I had to prioritize based on my availability and it didn’t make the cut. When something major happens with Elliot I’ll try to update then.

I don’t understand who you think they’re making these movies for. They’re for kids. Animated movies have frequently been grating, insipid, overloud and obnoxious. Pixar is not immune from this. MONSTERS INC. is one of the most annoying films I’ve ever seen. I’m not beating a drum for ROBINSONS, but let’s try something traditional and at least let the movie open first before fileting it.

I can’t say with 100% certainty that it is not Danny Elfman, but with all the certainty that I can muster, I am going to say that it isn’t.

Well considering no one here has seen MEET THE ROBINSONS, comparing it to SHARK’S TALE seems to me a bit precipitous.

Which main page? You mean the first page that loads? That’s the News section. If you ever want to go back to the basic URL elfman.filmmusic.com, just click News.

iTunes has two bonus score cues: “Fun Suite” and “Zuckerman’s Speech” if you download the album there.

I’ve been lucky enough to have this score since last Spring, and let me tell you, it grows on you and gets better every day. It’s totally cute, lovely and a pleasure. I love the rural elements mixed with the sentimentality of BLACK BEAUTY. I believe it’s Elfman’s richest, most emotionally pure score in some time. While I’ve loved everything he’s done, CHARLOTTE’S is for me satisfying and touching.

Cue “Vindicated” by DASHBOARD CONFESSIONAL, appropriately enough from the SPIDER-MAN 2 soundtrack.
What have I been telling you all along?

Shirley was one of the best people I’ve ever had the opportunity to talk with. She was always kind to me, and helpful when it came to her website. She was truly thrilled that people enjoyed her music. I am in shock here.
Ryan
Thanks everyone for your kind comments and feedback. Keep it coming! More fixes to come, plus CHARLOTTE’S WEB clips and more!
