00:01All right, great, here we are.
00:02I've been absolutely torturing the musicians.
00:04OK, action!
00:06Action!
00:09It's harmonically complex.
00:10It's exhausting.
00:12And also, it's cranked to a level all the time.
00:19That was...
00:20Perfect.
00:21Perfect!
00:24In animation, I'm allowed to write music I like.
00:28Nobody's really let me loose in this particular way
00:31until Chris and Pierre.
00:34The brief was not only for John to do whatever he wants,
00:37but whatever he did,
00:38he made everything funnier, full of stakes,
00:42and more emotional.
00:46It's a love letter to early Hollywood
00:48and the sort of golden age.
00:49You wrote a monster movie?
00:52What are you going to use for your monster?
00:55Uh...
00:56Aha!
01:05Yes, I'm free!
01:07I'm free, I'm free, I'm free!
01:08It always gives me goosebumps
01:10to hear 80-plus string players,
01:13woodwinds and brass players
01:14just pour their hearts into what they're playing.
01:17We have a very large choir as well.
01:19So it's very classic Hollywood.
01:21It's the forces that they would have used.
01:23It's one of my most joyful and indulgent scores.
01:26The absurdity in the comedy
01:28and the madness is the inspiration.
01:31Aw!
01:33Let me get cuter!
01:34It's all very intense.
01:36I think what he's done for the score
01:39and for the movie is just incredible.
01:42Now the movie doesn't stand without his music.
01:47It's beautiful when that happens.
01:51Ah!
01:53Yeah!
01:53Ah!
01:55Ah!
01:56Ah!
01:56Oh, Chris!
