Music My Good Man!
At my church, I have been cast as the lead role for a play. I gotta learn over 15 lines and 5 songs, one is a solo. Looking over the songs, I realized an important thing. Cartoons have some of the best music around! It key for themes for theme to capture the essence and feeling of the show. Imagine if The Lord Of The Ring cartoon had rock music for a theme. That would be apocalyptic to the cartoon and immediately turn away viewers. So, to be interesting, any show must have a good soundtrack. Without one, the show would be a disaster. Some shows have mediocre themes, but most have outstanding ones. An example of this would be The Real Ghostbusters. The cartoon had the same theme as the movie, but if it's not broke don't fix it. If a person just listened to the intro song, it would hook them faster than Sonic The Hedgehog. It was one of those songs that actually over delivered, because the show is only worth a 4 out of 5. But hey, a theme's a theme, right? One of the first things I reviewed was Tiny Toons, and I posted the theme with it. Though it resembles a campfire song, the song captures the zany, wacky, and loony sense of the show. Along with Steven Spielberg's other shows, Tiny Toons was not only good as a show, but as a theme too. But what would have to be the best song in cartoons would be the intro for my favorite Disney show, Duck Tales. The show starred Uncle Scrooge and his nephews solving mysteries and finding treasure. Duck Tales theme is not only cool, it's catchy! Once you hear it, it will never leave your mind! So, joking aside, a soundtrack is necessary to have a good show. It adds the element of coolness to shows that would be lame without 'em.
