The first Disney short in about five years, will be shown in March.

A six-minute short that I'd otherwise not even bring up, if not for the description on Film Music Reporter:
http://filmmusicreporter.com/2021/02/15/pinar-toprak-scoring-zach-parrishs-disney-animated-short-us-again/

Quote:

"[…] The movie, which is told entirely without dialogue and set to an original funk and soul musical score reminiscent of the mid-60s […]"


As you know, I wohves me some funk, but every time a modern composer tries to pull it off, it never comes out right, it's always faux funk or faux jazz, whether it the David Arnold score to "Shaft" or another title I can't recall the name of. Though Brian Tyler, of all people, came a bit closer, as I recall, with "Crazy Rich Asians".


Anyway, starting a thread incase it turns out to be nommy. Hopefully I don't have anything to complain about.

I liked bits of her Marvel score. I think its unfortunate she has gone from that to short films and no other big projects. Definitely telling of the industry in general.

She's still scoring Stargirl.

It's Disney, so it may be blocked in other countries. I'm in the U.S. and it plays.




Well … the description was very misleading. Don't like it. The 1960's called and it said: NOT AH.

NO CD=NO SALE.

I love you Pinar, but I'll miss this one. See- not that hard. Going to put on Debbie Wiseman's 'To Olivia'.

How on earth would a short score like this be released on CD?

It's under seven minutes long. Who wants to buy that? It would need to be put on a compilation or -- for example -- other Disney short scores.

I was looking forward to this because of Toprak's comment about it being a 1960s-inspired soul score, but stylistically this sounds like something from the 1990s or even the 2000s to me, specifically the kind of score you might hear in a Nickelodeon TV show or in a Disney musical.

That short film was available as a "bonus" to view on the screener platform that also had RAYA. Cute little affair, no dialogue. Very Pixar in tone and style.

Along with Toprak's Purl.


Although, you could see it as buying a single...
