Toy Story was the first all computer generated movie ever made but was more enjoyable because of the characters than the graphics (which were stunning). The score to this Disney sponsored film is a different matter -- it sounds very much like a Disney score.
Listening to the music I can't help remember the music to Aladdin or Beauty and the Beast. It isn't "serious" as the scores for "regular" movies but seems to be more quirky and comical. Of course this fits the movie quite well but how does this affect the score's usefulness as a roleplaying score?
Not hugely. Even though there are a number of songs -- typical of a Disney film -- there is quite a bit of score music. It is all quite good, but isn't as dramatic or "big" as other cues from some of the other movie scores reviewed. I see this score as being useful for those "little" moments when you need a track that isn't too demanding and won't overwhelm the action or a description. These are tracks for stitching your adventure together -- science fiction or fantasy.
