Oh hell yeah. That scene's a perfect example of what I'm talking about. The storytelling would make you sad anyway. The music just enhances the sadness. Now, if Up was a terrible movie, you could put that scene on mute and it would have no impact. But it does, even without the music.

Bump for fun.

(This thread didn't really go anywhere the first time, but maybe there's more conversation to be had.)

Seconded.

EDIT: Was just doing the 'Williams has to make modular suite-music now' shpiel for a co-worker ten minutes ago, oddly enough.

I've said for a while now that listening to the PT's score makes me picture what the PT should have been. Some pieces don't resonate much because they shouldn't have a reason to exist (e.g. Jar-Jar's theme), but others are so deeply meaningful they make me want to cry for a drama that never really existed (Anakin's theme, and its incredibly subtle shift to the Imperial March, is still one of the best pieces of soundtrack music that have ever existed to me).

In that way... Damn, did Williams do everything right.
