It would have been better if McNeely showed up.

Depends on which HGW shows up. The one that did Kingdom of Heaven and Chronicles of Narnia? I am cool with it. The one that did The Equalizer 2 and The Zookeeper's Wife...not so much. THIS. Although I would've said, "The one that did Prince Caspian and Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas? I am cool with it." Since Rachel Portman was originally signed on to the original animated film and only had to bow out due to pregnancy, it would've been really neat if they'd considered her for this assignment. Yavar

Sigh. Yeah I second that. Composer casting is so fucking predictable and boring these days. Sorry I try to avoid commenting on subjects that piss me off like this but given how amazing Goldsmith’s animated version was and how this is likely to be boring as whaleshit, I felt the need to vent. But hey, at least they got it right with McCreary on Godzilla.

That is a pretty hilarious downgrade.

Indeed, but this feels like a cynical in-joke us film score nerds would come up with to amuse ourselves. "Wouldn't it be funny if Jerry Goldsmith was followed up by Harry Gregson-Williams?"

I'm not sure how I feel about this. I actually do like a bunch of HGW scores, but in all seriousness... going from Goldsmith to him on Mulan? Didn't anybody hear Gregson-Williams' Total Recall score? It was about as memorable as Amnesia. Then again... maybe somehow, someway HGW will tune into his Sinbad days and delight us with a score, unlikely in the league of JG's Mulan but maybe in his own league of Sinbad? Goldsmith was truly one of a kind. Well we should be thankful that Djawadi wasn't picked for this project. I don't think HGW will be allowed to write a Tony Scott / Total Recall type of score for this film, I'm sure Disney will be clear with what they want. Surprised that Powell wasn't asked based on Kung Fu Panda. Anyway, HGW has written some fantastic music for animation films, Chicken Run, Antz and Shrek (with Powell), the first two Narnia films and Sinbad. Kingdom of Heaven and the Prince of Persia are great live action epic scores. Generally speaking, which composer could match Goldsmith's Mulan?

How about this? Have Disney stop redoing the same films from their vaults and instead concentrate on fresh new ideas. There's a concept! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! That's a unreasonable bridge too far! ;-) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2sF4MU1txTY
