Advantages: More of Hans Zimmer Disadvantages: Unimaginative collection
No doubt, the animated feature was a riot. However, its only after you see the songs listed on a back cover of a CD, is when you notice how Dreamworks went a little lazy on the soundtracks of this movie. Every other B grade inspirational movie ever to hit the market has had Chariot of Fire or What a Wonderful World. Also in this album includes the wilted Hawaii 5-0 score, overplayed Stayin' Alive, and bargain bin Boogie Wonderland.
Dreamworks certainly ... ...or even less heard gems out there. They went straight for the tried and tired.
The only saving garce were the original scores by Hans Zimmer, especially Best Friends. However this only underlines the laziness of Dreamworks in just getting a the most obvious legendary figure in music sondtracks. Its probably an accurate guess that if Hans Zimmer wasn't available, then John Williams would be in there.
Thankfully, Hans Zimmer saved this OST from tanking. ...
