Soundtrack to Peter and the Wolf

The soundtrack to Peter and the Wolf was absolutely horrific. I know it was suppose to go with what was happening in the animation, but I don't think you can even call it any sort of music or soundtrack. I could have gotten a bunch of random instruments in a room and told everyone to play all at the same time whatever they wanted, and could have made the same soundtrack to this animation. I'm not saying I am a musical genius because I am not, but after all isn't the point of making a soundtrack to add to the beauty of the animation and make the audience get into it even more. That "music" in Peter and the Wolf made me want to stop watching the film, or put on noise cancelling headphones. Now if you want to talk about a soundtrack that really adds to the greatness and emotion of the film, listen to the soundtrack to the movie Interstellar.





Now I know this is not an animated film and Peter and the Wolf is, but there is a massive difference between the soundtrack in Peter and the Wolf and Interstellar. In Interstellar the soundtrack, for one is actual music, not just the sound of a bunch of instruments playing at the same time. The music from Interstellar actually made me glued to the screen even more, and get emotionally into it, as opposed to me wanting to stop watching Peter and the Wolf completely. That's what I want as a viewer, music that goes along with whatever film it is and adds to it. I believe that a films soundtrack is very important, and not something to take lightly, because I think a good film can be ruined by what the music is, but Interstellar hit it right on the mark. Its sad that the soundtrack to Peter and the Wolf was so bad, because the animation was beautiful, and something I admired. Maybe I'll watch it again on mute.
