How Michael Giacchino compares Up's score with Trek, Land of the Lost

Prolific film and TV composer Michael Giacchino told SCI FI Wire that his score for Disney/Pixar's upcoming 3-D animated Up is more traditional than his other recent scores, including ones for J.J. Abrams' Star Trek and for the Pixar films Ratatouille and The Incredibles . "It is essentially a love story about Carl [voiced by Edward Asner] and his wife," Giacchino ( Lost, Fringe ) said in an exclusive interview at Up 's Hollywood premiere last weekend. "So it was just about going there and finding out [what] that means. What I ended up doing was doing this very simple waltz that grows and twists and turns through the whole course of the film. As Carl goes on this adventure, everything just changes, [and] the music changes with him and his character as he develops and he grows." (link)
