I am still trying to figure out how you can spend $150 mill on a cgi film?
no big star salaries, no location costs etc
????

What's even more baffling is the fact work is being farmed out to third world countries where the animators make a fraction of what an animator would get in America[/endnote]
well, when the USA BECOMES A THIRD WORLD COUNTRY (it won't be long)
maybe the jobs will come back

100 % special effects. You have to create absolutely everything. You get nothing for free.
It's not out of line with other big budget animated films.

Even using 'slave labor' ?

I think of this as a companion piece to the first film's score. Thus, I have concentrated on cues that feature new themes, and listenability.
If, i missed cues that have themes new to "2" please advise.
enjoy

I think it needs For the Dancing and the Dreaming more than Where No One Goes. I'm also very partial to Toothless Found. That and Stoick's Ship are the two tracks I play most.

I'm gonna come right out here and call this a masterpiece. I really do consider this one Powell's magnum opus (for now). It's so rich in themes and melody and so thoughtfully composed (seen the film twice) with an unbelievable ear and eye for drama that I still can't get over how good this score is. And the album has a fantastic flow. The first one was magnificent but this one just tops it, it really is like Empire to Star Wars.
And while I'm at it, the same goes for 'Maleficent'. Another extraordinary piece of writing and the return to form for James Newton Howard. In another thread someone said it has been a weak year for scores so far, I couldn't disagree more!! Let's not forget 'The Monuments Men', 'Godzilla' and 'A Million ways to die in the West' and I'm still awaiting 'Dawn of the planet of the Apes' and 'Hercules'. Film music (as most of like it) is not dead!

Luc I do agree that this year has seen some very strong scores indeed. I actually cannot remember when we had so many memorable scores. I hope it's a trend that is coming back to stay.

Thanks, David. And I even forgot 'The Grand Budapest Hotel' and 'Beauty and the Beast' by Pierre Adenot. So yes, a marvelous first half of 2014.

Saw the film again last night- which is the first time in over a decade a movie inspired me and my wife to watch in theatres more than once. Even better the second time although I picked out a couple scenes that had amazing music that is absent on the CD. the first was when Astrid drops Eret and Powell unleashes a heroic version of the Astrid's Theme (Love Theme). The other cue I really noticed was the quiet exchange between Hiccup and Valka after the "Flying with Mother" montage. It's a beautiful cue with a lovely piano recap of the Test Flight/Main theme. Wish these were both on the CD. I think my only gripe with the music choices is that a lot of the action music was present and less reflective moments like the latter example that would have made the listening experience a tad more balanced.
But honestly, the entire score is spot on and a superb achievement from Powell. Not sure whether it will garner Oscar attention because it does have existing themes on it but it should anyhow because of all the new material. Stellar score.
