My rating: Wall-E > HTTYD >>Up

I liked UP too. Compared with other Pixar films, it was little boring and less rewatch value

For me, HTTYD is better than Wall-E ..

I am a big fan of animation movies right from Lion King, Toy Story I days. I certainly feel these movies not just for kids. I see more value and emotions in these films compared to mainstream hollywood movies. Also, I become a child when watching the film. Again, the best reason to watch these movies for the songs and the scores.

The composers are truly magnificient. Randy Newman, Michael Giacchino, Hans Zimmer, Elton John, the list goes on...

Up - Carl goes up -Michael Giacchino

What a composition, whenever I listen to this music, I cannot avoid tears. This song has so much emotion (highlight being it is just an instrumental) This song also blends the tune of another great score called 'Married Life' from the same film. The composer would have blended excellently both these songs into this song. Never tired of listening to these songs again and again.

Toy Story 3 - So Long - Randy Newman

This score is from Toy Story 3, which comes at the end, when Andy leaves to college leaving behind all the toys to another kid. After watching this film, no one will treat the toys in the same way. We will even think those toys are still alive. I have even purchased Woody and Buzz Light (at this age) and kept on my desk and would feel like they are talking to me. That's is the impact the the film and the score gives. Again Randy Newman a great composer and singer.

These are just two scores, from the mighty line-up of animation films. "Cars", "The Incredibles", "Ratatouille" and A Bug's Life" again big scores.

There is even a CD I bought recently titled "Disney/Pixar Greatest Hits", which almost includes all of best scores from these films. I have played that CD around 500 times still playing. Never tired. This is what I call soul in the composition.

Waiting for 'Cars 2' and 'Kung Fu Panda 2' coming summer!

Raghavendran,
Yes, it's an excellent movie and concept. Every time pixar is coming up with new concepts, which is what I like about them. Again, one of the biggest asset for such type of films is music. We can drown ourselves in the music. Ratatouille also has some nice scores, especially this french song composed by Michael Giacchino.

The song is nicely structured (I think with only synth), yet the soul is not at all compromised. I think the accordian which comes around 1:38 blew me off. The singing by Camille and the choir is so sweet. Great song and a perfect example on how to use minimal orchestration and sound beautiful. And it goes well in the movie too and you can imagine Paris at the backdrop of this song, it will fit in correctly.

"Wall Rat" - Another great score from the movie (my favorite score)
Please hear from 0:52, flute sonata with violins. Wow! absolutely amazing!!


"End Credit" I always love end credits as there is no limit for composer to cut short anything due to a scene and also need not worry about the scene, just that the tune has to flow like a river. More freedom is there.


Other scores are also available in the related videos, it's a treat to hear them again and again.

Michael Giacchino is one genius of a composer in this modern age IMHO.
