This week on Film Score Friday, we listen to the score from The Pagemaster. James Horner wrote the score for this 1994 animated film. As you would expect in Horner score, the horns have plenty to do and it's great. The rest of the brass is certainly not neglected though. The film is oriented around a whimsical adventure. Horner captures this spirit with ease. The original recording was done by the London Symphony and lives up to expectations and then some.
Where does this score rank for Horner's works? Let us know in the comments.
