Music reviews of Meet the Robinsons [An Original Walt Disney Records Soundtrack]

Music Review: Nice album with a special treat for Disneyland fans
Rating: 4 Stars

It's refreshing that a contemporary animated soundtrack not fall back on existing pop tunes to elicit "easy" emotional reactions from the theater audiences, but rather create new songs by popular artists. The Meet the Robinsons CD not only features new songs, but from the copyright notices on the liner notes, they're all new Disney songs.

Like the best examples of recordings for the family, and Disney records in general, Meet the Robinsons is eclectic, with selections running from power rock to big band crooning, in addition to the landmark score by Danny Elfman, landmark because it's his first for a Walt Disney animated feature, if you don't count Nightmare Before Christmas or James and the Giant Peach, which somehow seem outside the "Brand" (sorry to use the "B" word!) Elfman also co-wrote The All-American Rejects' "The Future Has Arrived."

Rufus Wainwright contributes two tunes, his co-written potential hit "Another Believer," and the especially engaging, self-penned "The Motion Waltz."

For a completely different change of pace, Jamie Cullum adds a touch of pop jazz style with the new song, "Wherer is Your Heart At?' as well as the classic standard "Give Me the Simple Life" (which some may remember being used several years ago for Campbell s soup TV commercials).

Also unlike some contemporary animated film soundtrack albums, the Meet the Robinsons disc does not skimp on background score tracks, dismissing a great score with a few cuts and a "suite." Instead, there are ten instrumental tracks, essentially making this practically two albums in one.

There are also two bonus tracks, including the Jonas Brothers' "King of the Future," which got lots of Disney Channel play.

But it's the other bonus track that really stands out for Disney fans: an interpretation of "There's a Great Big, Beautiful Tomorrow," the classic Sherman Brothers theme for the Carousel of Progress attraction at the New York World's Fair, Disneyland and Walt Disney World. Rather than turning the song into a new pop track, They Might Be Giants have done an astonishing, spot-on tribute to the Rex Allen version, soprano and all, that adds a fine instrumental bridge.

What a treat!

Description of Meet the Robinsons [An Original Walt Disney Records Soundtrack]

All products are BRAND NEW and factory sealed. Fast shipping and 100% Satisfaction Guaranteed.
Disney's animated adventure may be driven by themes of futuristic time traveling, but its musical score is a delightful, pop-driven hybrid that turns on decidedly back-to-the-future sensibilities. Rob Thomas' hook-rich single "Little Wonders" and the All-American Rejects' collaboration with Danny Elfman "The Future Has Arrived" give the collection an immediate contemporary edge. But just as winning are disparate pop performances from Rufus Wainwright (the Nilsson-esque opening gem "Another Believer" and lilting "Motion Waltz"), while nouveau UK crooner Jamie Cullum turns in a swinging, piano jazz take on Wainwright's "Where Is Your Heart At?" as well as an inviting cover of "The Simple Life" in the same vein. Elfman's orchestral score returns him to the vibrant milieu of his early Tim Burton collaborations, supercharged here by a manic energy that seems equal parts Simpsons, Bernard Herrmann and Carl Stalling. Bringing the collection full circle is a big-band cover of Disney's vintage "There's A Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow" theme performed with loopy big-band charm by They Might Be Giants and the Jonas Brothers more disposable Kim Wilde update, "Kids of the Future." --Jerry McCulley
