Cat In The Hat, The - Various Artists

Advantages: Has some good songs in it and has large and lavish sets.
Disadvantages: An odd movie, hard to get a grasp on and by many accounts too imaganitive.

...I will make this breif, The 5000 fingers of Dr. t is a kids film made in the 1950 by Dr. Suess [the same person who made the cat in th hat book collection and said such wise things as, "It is better to be three hours early than one minute too late."] However, when he woke up one morning and decided to make this movie somthing went wrong. The story begins when a young boy is recieving a piano lesson and then doses off to the ticking of the metroknome which is pherched atop the piano. He is then catapolted into a dream in which his piano teacher [D.r T] is attempting to make 500 children play one huge piano all at once. From here the plot deviates and goes down some pherhaps unsuitable paths i.e. the idea that Dr. T will marry his mother [a widow] and due to this be imprisioned for ever in his evil palace.

Advantages: It's got it all
Disadvantages: The film it accompanies

...Don't be fooled by the Pixar label - this score isn't just for a kids animation film. Some of Giacchino's greatest peices are on this CD. Packed with tense quiet moments and spectacular crashing chords, this score is as action packed as the movie and just as entertaining. The whole score has a jazzy feel, and unlike some scores, is exciting all the time. On a whole, this score has it all. Some smooth jazz, some intense strings, some clashing chords and an overall feel of suspence. You don't need to have seen the film to listen to this score, it stands alone as a brilliant peice of work. Hats off Giacchino, it's absolutly brilliant, I would most definitly reccommend this to anyone interested in jazz, classical or sountrack music.... Read review
