: :Promising to be this holiday season's family film blockbuster, the revolutionary computer-animated The Polar Express-based on a best-selling children's book, starring the voice of Tom Hanks and directed by Academy Award winner Robert Zemeckis-is a classic Christmas film with a modern look.

Cars»rank: 635from: Walt Disney Records
: :Cars is a typical Disney-Pixar animated movie in that it deals with an anthropomorphic character (here, a car) and the heartwarming values of family and friendship. (Alas, we'll have to wait a little while longer for the company to take on greed and selfishness.) The accompanying soundtrack is equally typical in that it's split between catchy pop songs and a score by Randy Newman. The clear highlight of the pop tracks is Sheryl Crow's boisterous, huge-sounding 'Real Gone' (her best song in ages). ... |

Madagascar»rank: 1134from: Geffen Records
: :Most of the older songs included on the soundtrack to this animated feature are so well-known that they border on well-worn (Vangelis' Chariots of Fire theme has to be one of the most reused pieces of 20th-century music ever) but their feel-good quotient is also hard to deny. (Earth, Wind & Fire's 'Boogie Wonderland' again? Sure, bring it on!) Still, it's hard not to wish the brains behind this CD had included snippets from the movie, considering it features the vocal talents of ... |

Shrek - Music From the Original Motion Picture»rank: 1591from: Dreamworks
: :Like The Muppet Show or The Simpsons, Shrek is tiered with visual appeal, fantasy, and sophisticated humor that appeals to children and adults on two mutually exclusive levels. Judging by the soundtrack alone, there is some genuine emotion coming from this movie; Rufus Wainwright, the Proclaimers, and especially the Eels all pen winsome, longing tunes. Dana Glover's 'lt ls You (l Have Loved)' represents the soundtrack's requisite glossy ballad, but it's better than most, and John Powell's climactic, orchestral 'True Love's First Kiss' ... |

Anastasia: Music From The Motion Picture (1997 Version)»rank: 2203by: David Newman, Stephen Flaherty, Aaliyah, Richard Marx, Donna Lewis
: :0ne of the more successful attempts by another studio (here Fox) to make a quality animated film on par with Disney was Anastasia. The music by David Newman and songs by Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty (the Broadway team that won a Tony for Ragtime) give the movie a sturdy backbone. From the Zhivago-gone-Broadway opening number 'A Rumor in St. Petersburg' to the 0scar-nominated get-up-and-sing 'Journey to the Past,' the CD is filled with bright numbers, including low-key pop versions of several of ... |

Halo 3 Original Soundtrack (2-CD Set)»rank: 2136from: Sumthing Else
: :From the most successful entertainment launch in history, comes the most anticipated video game soundtrack of the holiday season.

Album produced by Nile Rodgers. :ln terms of mood (both martial and eerie) and structure (the score is divided into 10 suites), there's no major departure from the ... |
