Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
As with an increasing number of ventures from Hans Zimmer's collective studio Media Ventures, the double composer credit blends two creative influences together. "Mandible and Cutter Plot" bears a resemblance to Powell's Face/Off score, but otherwise there's no telling who did what. The CGI Woody Allen kid flick has the malcontent Z bucking the system and saving the day. "Opening Titles--Z's Theme" is a searching piano line with a little harmonica to express his humble simplicity. Equally distracted is "Princess Bala", who likewise gets the wistful treatment. Surprisingly, so does "General Mandible" on a wispy flute solo. His misguided bad guy takes his theme from the latter battle music, which is in the crashing style of The Rock and Crimson Tide. A very cheesy sample ensemble strike up "Guantanamera", but thankfully it explodes into a full dance number for the first sign of romance. It's a good example of the general light-hearted approach--whoever's idea it was. --Paul Tonks
From Amazon.com
It may seem extravagant for a film about a bunch of bugs, but soundtrack composers Harry Gregson-Williams and John Powell engaged an 85-piece orchestra and 25-member chorus to perform the music for Antz. In the film, a worker ant with the voice of Woody Allen becomes a hero to his embattled colony and earns the affections of Princess Bala (the voice of Sharon Stone). Appropriately, the music is a mix of dramatic swells, romantic interludes, and celebratory jaunts, scurrying from sprightly jazz to classical dirge to Latin bounce--there are even allusions to "When Johnny Comes Marching Home" and "Guantanamera." This surprising diversity makes the music from Antz lively enough for children and sophisticated enough for adults. --Richard Martin
