@manofsteam1 I really love that exchange. It really tells you that Uncle Pom is very much in touch with nature and aware of things that many humans are not. That and I really loved Richard Dysart's vocal performance of the character; he brought a lot of warmth and heart to the role.
@TheEchoesofMetroid How amusing; I actually didn't pick up on that. But yeah, something tells me that Miyamoto WAS inspired by this film for that game. (Now if only he could get Leachman and Hamill—nah, just a pipe dream; they both worked great in this film, but I doubt they would in a ZELDA game. Still, a funny idea, huh?)
As much as I know that some fans prefer the original score, I ultimately don't think it is very fair to say that the newer score is in any way a travesty or inferior, because it is certainly not true as far as I'm concerned. There were at least one or two cues that seemed a little gratuitous, but otherwise there's nothing wrong with the rerecorded score in my opinion.
@Turnajon As much as I love these tracks, I actually haven't had the chance to watch through the entire re-release (2010) with the new, more minimalist soundtrack. It's sad to know some of my favorites will be missing, but I think I'll give it a shot nonetheless.
Personally, I think both scores are excellent, but I kinda favor the newer one. The melodies in both scores are basically identical to the original (with a few exceptions), but what ultimately makes this new score for me is how rich and fuller it sounds with the orchestra. To me it really enhances an already excellent film.
Preference aside, both scores are perfect in their own way IMO.
I HAVE to add this comment. Mr Hisaishi, if it's not broken, don't fix it, unless You were "broke" money wise, at the time. Your initial score to the Laputa film was PERFECT ( Kampeki).
Though this track is well done, by Mr. Hisaishi himself. I still feel that the original track for this scene in Laputa is much more intense. Sadly that original track is unavailable in any form. I would much prefer the original.
Also, it's one thing to prefer the old score, but to say the new score is a crime against all humanity is just wrong; unlike, say, KIKI, this rescore is done by Hisaishi himself, and to say that it harms the film is just wrong.
@FrostBjorn There's a lot of beautiful subtext behind those three lines. It shows that Uncle Pom is more in tune with the world and knows how dangerous Sheeta's crystal can be if it is misused. That's quite a contrast with Muska, whose eyes literally grind with greed at Sheeta's crystal when it lights up.
i prefer the synth, original version - it's more simplistic and just lets the crystals speak for themselves - it's definitely brighter. actually the dubbed version is just weirder in general >.<
@VvicsieE78 LoL I really do love Uncle Pom. Especially his follow-up line to that: "I can't see you clearly yet goblin, but you sound like Pazu! And is that a she-goblin with you?" Richard Dysart did an excellent job of conveying Uncle Pom's gentle whimsical nature, and he fit the part perfectly. I can only wonder how anyone can say otherwise about the rest of the cast, him included (the leads are a bit debatable, but they're really not harmful at all).
I don't remember the original version of this particular scene very well, but I think this new cue is marvelous. The tinkling synth-glockenspiel chimes in the background really do convey the magic of being in a cavern with shining rocks. Hearing it only makes me sad that purists napalmed this new score; this is another one of my favorite cues on the new score.
@googlemeister94 I don't even remember the original cue for this scene in the Japanese version, as I saw it a looooooong time ago. But yeah, I think this new cue is really amazing, and it's saddening to see it gone in the new release. Not that purists would care anyway.
@Turnajon Disney requested Joe Hisaishi (the original composer) to write new tracks for the English Dub, so some scores don't appear in the original Japanese dub.
@Gamepopper101 Yeah, I'm pretty much aware about that; I was just saying that I wasn't very familiar with how the Japanese music for this scene sounded. Spotchecking it again recently on the 2010 edition, I noticed that the melody itself isn't changed, but there's less instrumentation to it; it sounded somewhat eerily like a synth solo. I'm personally having trouble deciding which version of this scene I like better, they're both effective, but this newer version is more hair-tingling.
