Free Music Notes for Atlantis: The Lost Empire
Free Music Review: Enjoyable Howard score
Hit: 4 Stars
Atlantis: The Lost Empire was the second in James Newton Howard's big Blockbuster Disney scores. First he did Dinosaur & Atlantis was followed by Treasure Planet. I found Atlantis to be an enjoyable score that successfully captures the adventure of an undersea voyage and the mystical heart of Atlantis. What weakens this score slightly is the lack of a cohesive main theme, and the fact that the score opens well into the movie as opposed to the beginning of the movie with the sinking of Atlantis, the cd starts at the beginning of the submarine voyage. The pop song is worthless and could easily be ignored. I believe that Treasure Planet was a better score, but Atlantis was and is another enjoyable step in Howard's musical resume.
Atlantis: The Lost Empire Poster
Though hampered by a sometimes predictable story line, Disney's animated telling of Plato's undersea legend deserves kudos for tackling the heady expectation surrounding modern action films and the artistic expressionism of Japanese anime, all the while maintaining a precarious sense of studio tradition and dedication to animation quality. Opening with the obligatory pop song ("Where the Dream Takes You," a serviceable slice of modern R&B boilerplate cowritten with master songwriter/boilermaker Diane Warren), James Newton Howard's rousing orchestral score at once recalls the traditions of previous Disney adventures such as 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. But Howard updates that tradition with alternating doses of tense, Williams-esque dynamics (particularly in the rousing "Leviathan"), and the sense of frequently playful wonder familiar from Dinosaur, his previous effort for the studio's animators. His evocative musical portraits of Atlantis often conjure the ghost of Bernard Herrmann at his most romantic and adventuresome, adding a sense of emotional gravity and a sophisticated air of exotic mystery unusual in most animated fare. --Jerry McCulleySoundtracks Music CDs
