Product Description
From Amazon.com
Will it become another rich Newman family tradition? Picking up the baton his cousin Randy carried so skillfully on Disney/Pixar's four previous pioneering computer animation features, composer Thomas Newman was undaunted, bringing his own highly original scoring sensibility to the studio's latest digital daydream--an effort that's also the younger Newman's own debut score for an animated feature. Tom's consistently unique approach to matters of rhythm and percussion are as forceful and inventive as ever in this undersea adventure, while his passages for orchestra resonate with the same quintessentially American pastoral melancholy his songwriting cousin has long employed in his work. The result is dynamic, diverse, and uniquely personal as any modern animated feature. Especially rewarding are the jazz/exotica/kitsch flourishes Newman playfully throws into the mix, diffusing his ever nervous rhythms with unexpected, quirky colorations. It's a must for any fan of Newman's evocative canon. Contemporary crooner Robbie Williams rounds out proceedings with a faithful, jazzy take on Bobby Darin's classic "Beyond the Sea." --Jerry McCulley

The Music to the Movie.,
By
This review is from: Finding Nemo (Audio CD)
FINDING NEMO is a great film, one of, if not the best, films of 2003. The movie has a great story, wonderful characters, and breath-taking animation (did you see the taste buds on the whale's tongue?). However, one cannot deny that a crucial component of this moving and enchanting film is the music. THE FINDING NEMO soundtrack is one of the best instrumental soundtracks that Disney has ever released. It is the music to the movie. The album contains 40 tracks and except for the last one (Robbie Williams' remake of Bobby Darin's classic "Beyond the Sea") and #18 ("Mt. Wannahockaloogie", which is just the fish tribe chant) all are instrumental. "Time to Let Go" has some dialogue with Dory singing the "Keep on swimming" bit, but quickly transcends into a powerful and moving piece of auditory magic. My favorite pieces on the album are:"Nemo Egg (Main Title)" "News Travels" "The Little Clownfish From The Reef" "Swim Down" "Finding Nemo" "Fronds Like These" "Beyond the Sea" I cried several times while watching the movie and several of the compostiions on here were powerful enough to bring back a few tears to my eyes. This is a great album for anyone who loves FINDING NEMO and anyone who loves great music.

Question...,
By A Customer
This review is from: Finding Nemo (Audio CD)
THIS IS NOT A REVIEW, IT IS A QUESTION ABOUT A SONG ON THE MOVIE, SO DISREGARD THE RATING...Has anyone noticed that Newman has a similar riff on the Pay It Forward soundtrack as he does on Finding Nemo? The song that it occurs on in Pay It Forward is Possibility and is a recurring theme throughout the movie. I also noticed the exact same melody at the end of Finding Nemo (sadly, I have not watched the whole movie, but I worked at a movie theatre and heard it on the credits as I was cleaning up). The melody occurs in the end credits when the baby turtle swims across the screen, followed by the rest of the turtles, who swim past quickly. Does anyone know the name of the song that it is on in Finding Nemo? Just curious, I really like the piano on it; it reminds me of Linus & Lucy, for some odd reason (if the rest of the soundtrack is reminiscent of this song, then it richly deserves five stars. Thanks.

Fun, energetic and beautiful,

This review is from: Finding Nemo (Audio CD)
Thomas Newman was the perfect choice of composer for this film. His style is instantly recognizable, as is his melodic touch. The score travels through nearly every musical genre - which perhaps is the reason for its success. Most fans of Newman will pick up hints of American Beauty and Road to Perdition, while even casual listeners will enjoy it's upbeat, energetic nature. The highlight track is the stunning "Nemo Egg" (later reprised in "Fronds Like These") - but virtually every track is excellent in its own way. It even has the "underwater" atmosphere, and the exotic instruments and percussion (superb arrangements) just add to this soundscape. Perhaps the tracks are a bit short (they seem to rise up just to end off), but in terms of originality and charactar, this score is superb. I doubt any other composer in Hollywood could have done a better job. Treat yourself. Get it.
