Already the first few seconds of the Grand Opening Escape "are just amazing when you consider that this is music for an animated film. Here the magnificent main theme is already introduced and alluded while in Main Titles" is brought fully expressed. Especially funny is the multiple use of horns (Kazuo's ") in the background. Eben-called topic in the course of the scores (about 62 minutes) is varied several times and re-issued. A kind of march, which is never boring, but simply stunning and very sarcastic, the mood of the film and makes him thus an unusual depth and beauty gives (similar Antz ").
Then there is the music for Mrs. Tweedy (The Evil Mrs. Tweedy ") that is played and transformed just like the main theme several times. Especially in the rapid and dramatic pieces that tune comes very bombastic over.
But Powell and Williams stay remain as creative as Antz "and create recognition pieces for Rocky (the funny circus melody in Rocky And The Circus") or the short but jazzy, good Rats! ". On top, there are the two groovy songs Flip, Flop And Fly "and The Wanderer" from the movie and are not just an ingenious addition to the brute score, but give him another facet and also just be fun!
Among these pieces glory there is no single length. Everything seems to wait all of a piece and the handset always small or too big highlights that not only act in conjunction with the form! I still want to mention Flight Training "A Really Big Truck Arrives", "Into The Pie Machine", "bulding The Crate" and the last two tracks "Lift Off" and "Escape to Paradise"!
A soundtrack that caused already at the first hearing earwigs and goosebumps and churning. Anyone who even remotely a weakness for scores, has the Chicken Run was "highly recommended. The classic example of a groovy, topics ranging and dramatic soundtrack!
