Alas! It appears this journey shall be marked by me low-key annoying Sir Kuhni the entire time with not loving his beloved scores!!

Admittedly when you commented on my first installment that Big was one of the few pre-LotR that you liked, I knew words would be had with my take more than likely. tongue I'm not sure how you'll respond to my take on the *other* notable family film Shore scored coming up, but hopefully it won't be quite vehemently nay-y.

As a visual gag, I get it. As an aesthetic representation of the film... it's really not good.
