“[Giacchino’s] action music is exciting, his comedy funny without trying, and his nostalgia makes me cry every time. His approach is character based, and the music became as important as the characters themselves. It was as if he had somehow reached out into the sky and grabbed the soundtrack for our film, as if it has always existed out there, waiting for our movie to come along.”
