James Newton Howard employs a full orchestra and choir to create one of the better Disney scores around. Although this isn't The Lion King, Howard does employ the same ethnic tonal qualities you find in that film.The score begins with slow prodding percussion and a bassoon then breaks forth into strings and strong percussion. Throughout the album, all kinds of film music is heard. From some of the best action music in a Disney film (like in Mulan and The Lion King) to adventurous themes and suspenseful music. Bursts of triumphant choir and orchestra add to the enjoyment, as well as mournful strings, plenty of percussion and other ethnic qualities.
