Music reviews of Meet the Robinsons

Music Review: Meet the Robinsons a good listen
Rating: 4 Stars

I saw Meet the Robinsons when it first came out and it didn't thrill me (plus I may have slept through part of it). But I recently watched it again (and stayed awake this time) and liked it much better and discovered there was a variety of good music in there as well. I guess I was drawn to this soundtrack by Rob Thomas' Small Wonders, but have come to appreciate much of the other music by Rufus Wainwright, Jamie Callum, the ALl-American Losers, and of course Danny Elfman. There's a range of styles from pop/rock to Rat-Packish big band to Elman's usually energetic, yet strangly reto score. (I'm 45, so the Jonas Brothers song doesn't do much for me, but it's there as well.) This is lyrics-heavy soundtrack, but it's become a disc I listen to usually all the way through again and again in my car. One complaint for me is the cover art, which certainly didn't draw me and doesn't evoke the spirit of the film for me.

Description of Meet the Robinsons

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
