"Note to buyers:
Some versions of this soundtrack contain an extra track called: "Can Somebody Tell Me Who I Am" performed by Orange Blue which is usually track number 2, but does not appear in every version. This track is used at the very end of the film, and is actually orchestrated quite nicely. It is definately something to look for when buying!"
Blown Away!

"This is an incredible score! Not only is this one of the best animated scores ever, it's also one of James Newton Howard's greatest works as a composer. Every que is composed with absolute authority and perfection. I think one of the main reasons I liked this score so much was that it didn't cater to "cute" or "disney." Much like JNH's "Signs" or "The Village" we get plenty of suspense, hard hitting action, and tracks that show true emotion.
Overall, if you are a fan of JNH like me, you can't be without this score."
Breathtaking....

"I had bought this album simply for the track " The Egg Travels' but I was in for a surprise. James Newton Howard had created a masterpiece. A one of a kind score. Everything was so entertaining. If it wasn't beautiful it was tense and exciting. The best thing about this album his approach with the African voices and rhythms. This score is one of my absolute favorites. I've listened to it so many times and I'm still not tired of it.
A must own for those who love great film music."
