(SPOILER)
I already listened to it twice, just driving around in my car. The first time, I listened to the songs in their film running order, then for my second listen I decided to try it in the CD order.
"Boo Bop Bopbop Bop (I Love You Too)" is probably my favorite song from this film. Other favorites are the charming "It's Not Easy", the upbeat "Brazzle Dazzle Day", "There's Room For Everyone" (an underrated song with excellent lyrics), the lively "I Saw A Dragon" and the beautiful "Candle In the Water".
The "Main Title" is the Overture and it is quite beautiful.
This film may be the record holder for "Disney villain songs" as four are sung by the various bad apples in the picture.
My favorite of these is "The Happiest Home In These Hills", sung by the Gogans. For my money, this is one of the liveliest and most catchy and addictive Disney villain songs around.
The book comes with complete lyrics to all the songs, and Randy Thornton and John Polito are given their due credit for digital restoration production and mastering.
The back of the CD has film credits, including the actors names, songwriters (Kasha/Hirschhorn), and also credits Irwin Kostal for his excellent contribution as conductor and arranger.
This is for me the most exciting Disney film soundtrack to come along since the heyday of 1997/98, and I cannot thank Randy and WDR enough!
I highly recommend this for Pete's Dragon fans, Disney soundtrack fans, and anyone who loves good musicals and good music!
