Summary

Pixar's early years are defined by some iconic films, each telling a unique story in a way that made Disney-Pixar productions famous. The first 10 films in particular helped pave the way for Pixar's success and influenced Disney to acquire the studio. In addition to the stories, characters and animation that made these movies famous, the music helped amplify these films' popularity and created a distinct sound for Pixar.   In this two-part podcast episode, we dive into the music of the first 10 Pixar films: Toy Story, A Bug's Life, Toy Story 2, Monsters Inc., Finding Nemo, The Incredibles, Cars, Ratatouille, WALL-E, and Up. We also discuss the composers who brought these soundtracks to life (Randy Newman, Thomas Newman, and Michael Giacchino), the original songs featured in these albums, and some of our favorites. We also discuss the history of Pixar and the impact of these first 10 films.   What is your favorite song from the Pixar soundtracks discussed in this episode? Tag me and join the conversation below.
