Taking the cue for its visual conception from sources as diverse as British cartoonist Gerald Scarfe and the antic, rubbery surrealism of Tex Avery's Warner Bros. Cartoons of the 30's, this madcap caper from French writer/director Sylvain Chomet is one of the most delightfully skewed animated films in recent memory. Scoring such a thorough original is no easy task, but composer/musician Benoit Charest has more than risen to the occasion. Charest manages to evoke the loopy musical spirit of legendary Warner and Disney animation legend Carl Stalling in an entirely new context, fusing the score's snappy, predominantly le hot jazz mindset with everything from hip-hop and Bach (credited her as "Jean Sebastien") to the Italian opera farrago "Cieco Cieco Barber" and 1960s proto-surf-rock of "Pa Pa Pa Palavas." But that conceptual stew isn't the least of Charest's delightful surprises, as he giddily infuses it with his own Django-esque guitar stylings and a hodge-podge of "found" rhythmic instruments that include bicycle wheels, refrigerator shelves and a vacuum cleaner; surely there must be a kitchen sink buried in the mix somewhere. The result is a score that uses tradition as but a launching pad for one of the most rewarding and delightfully original animated scores in recent memory. -- Jerry McCulley

Summary: Best Ever 2010-07-26
Comment: My children love this movie even though there were no words. It was all music done with the simplest man made instruments. Every child should get a chance to see this movie.

Summary: More! More! More! SVP! 2009-04-21
Comment: I just love this soundtrack. It's urbane, entertaining to listen to repeatedly, and professionally written and arranged. Ben Charest is obviously a great talent. Every few months I google to see if he has produced any new music, and am terribly disappointed to find that he hasn't. I can't believe that a writer would be nominated for an Oscar on his first soundtrack attempt, and then drop utterly out of sight. The quality of this soundtrack is so good, and Mr. Charest so elusive, I'm starting to wonder if he is a figment of my imagination, or if he's using a nom de plume.

Summary: Loved it! 2008-11-05
Comment: This was such a sweet movie and I just had to get the soundtrack from the movie! I was not disappointed at all. I had searched other web sites for the soundtrack and even ordered it elsewhere, but it never arrived and after a month of trying to get a refund. I checked on Amazon and found it!!! I immediately ordered it. Of course, I also got my refund from the other location. Once it arrived, I immediately listened to it and it just brought me back to the movie, frogs and all.

Summary: Very Pleasing... 2008-04-05
Comment: What can be said? A fantastic score that provides excellent, cohesive ambiance out of context and filling a room. Very pleasing. Fans might enjoy Paris Combo, Pink Martini, Squirrel Nut Zippers, other pop hits by "M", etc. - k
