Randy Newman Musical

[tealin]

If you're upset or worried about the soundtrack to The Princess and the Frog being done by Randy Newman and not, say, Alan Menken, please check out Cats Don't Dance.

Hey, look at that, some obliging soul has put it on YouTube. Just as well because the DVD, while obviously better, is really hard to find.

Watch on YouTube

Do yourself a favour and try to get past the title sequence; while it's cleverly storyboarded it isn't representative, musically, of the rest of the movie. Subsquent parts are linked after this clip ... unfortunately the cuts are a little awkward but it's better than nothing.

I don't know if it was ever released in widescreen – the copy I have is Fullscreen too, if memory serves. Still, better than nothing.

Oh Amazon, you do make life so easy ... I remember the rush when someone in my animation class found a copy at at Wal-Mart and by the time the rest of us got there they were all gone. The same happened at a couple of other stores. I stumbled on mine in one of those racks of bargain DVDs at a supermarket.
