Free Music Notes for Ratatouille
Free Music Review: Epicly Awesome
Hit: 5 Stars
Michael does an extremely good job with this album. Excellent use of the percussion instruments and no over blaring brass instruments. My favorite song has to be "Colette Shows Him Le Ropes". This is an absolute must buy. Well Done!Free Music Review: great soundtrack
Hit: 5 Stars
The soundtrack from the movie is awsome. Cook up some ratatouille while dancing to the music; and clean up after the same way.
I've already learned all the songs on my piano from listening to the soundtrack. :-)
Free Music Review: Beautiful music with just a touch of French
Hit: 5 Stars
The music is great all on its own. And there is a lot of it on this CD. It has the right amount of French ambiance without too much.Free Music Review: It'll pick you up, and in some cases, bring tears to your eyes
Hit: 4 Stars
It shouldn't be surprising that such a charming and clever movie is matched by a similarly attractive score.
Definitely worth a purchase, the disc features songs that are playful, reflective, jazzy... sometimes all at once. As another commenter rightly noted, one of the songs -- "Anyone Can Cook" -- is particularly notable for how it tugs at your heartstrings and evokes the more sensitive moments towards the end of the film.
In contrast, "Le Festin" (the opening track) is an delicious and quite hummable ditty of a theme that'll have you smiling every time.
Oh, and listen to that amazing trumpeter saucily shine through in the jazzy-and-multi-mood'd End Creditouille (the credits-music that kept nearly all theatregoers in the show I attended quietly in their seats 'til the very last moment)
So, given that I clearly love so many of the tracks on this CD, why only four stars? Alas, a number of the tracks just don't have that repeat-listenability thing going for them. It's not a CD I'll regularly listen to from start to finish.
But, oh, the rest of the tunes! Such a pleasure, bringing back great memories from the film. They'll be listened to again and again.
Perhaps anyone can cook. But not everyone can make such engaging compositions and arrangements, and for that, I salute Mr. Giacchino :)
Free Music Review: Pixar's musical legacy continues to grow
Hit: 4 Stars
Since the company began producing features-length movies with "Toy Story" over a decade ago, Pixar's legacy as animation geniuses has flourished.
Growing right alongside that legacy is another: that of producing extremely memorable music for the movies.
If you want further proof, look no further than "Ratatouille," which is a great movie with a great score. Composer Michael Giacchino proves again that his style can melt seamlessly into just about any kind of film. This score could easily have gone way over the top in its "Frenchness," given the setting -- instead, Giacchino provides just enough Parisian styling to keep us grounded; otherwise, his music serves to put us in the mindset of Remy the rat, who just wants to be all that he can be. Thus, the music is a sort of psychological journey, and it's that aspect that makes the CD so successful. It aurally replicates the experience of the film's storyline, which, I think, is one of the best compliments a score CD can be paid.
Especial praise needs to be set aside for the gorgeous song "Le Festin," a Giacchinooriginal sung by Camille (whom I had never heard of, but would like to hear more of). As far as I'm concerned, this song immediately joins the ranks of timeless Disney classics, and if at least a nomination at next year's Ocars doesn't result, I will be calling foul.
