Animalympics (1980) [Full Album]

[@frezerh]

The beauty of this soundtrack is that it hits harder as an adult than it ever did when I was a kid!

[@RF23232]

100% agree

[@reginaldd.paperstacks194]

Yeah Renee's tracks bloody brutal

[@lexcromwell5094]

[@KOBA971]

Indeed

[@FFKits]

SO TRUE you feel the songs and understand them better; like "Love's Not For Me" for example. Holy crap. That song leaves you hallow and heartbroken with its truth. As a kid I just thought the music was fun to bop to, you listen to the lyrics and appreciate the variety of genres more now.

[@Blitzkrieg_Wolf]

It's almost criminal that this soundtrack isn't featured on Amazon music or Spotify

[@ChrisKewl]

Agreed but the remaster is on Apple Music. :) I don't see a cent for it but it's nice that it is there.

[@childrenofminervaofficial4316]

Considering the songs were written by the same guy who wrote "Heart Full of Soul", "Bus Stop" and "No Milk Today" to name a few, we wouldn't expect anything less than perfection.

[@denise26100]

I can't believe this movie and soundtrack were made over four decades ago... I'm from Germany, was born in 95 and remember my Grandpa's wife from America visited us and gifted me a VHS tape of this movie. I watched it probably about a hundred times and every time I did, felt like I was escaping the real world for just a while and go to a different place, a magical place. With incredible music, animation and storytelling. I like to think this movie sparked my love for good music and films and it still holds a special place in my heart. A true masterpiece of animation with the perfect soundtrack! Thank you Graham Gouldmann and Steven Lisberger, who also created my favorite science-fiction world with TRON!

[@user-le2zv6go3v]

I'm from germany, born in 85 .. yes.. that's exactly what this piece of cultural history is .. I want to live there .. always wanted to, still do, I've dreamed of it sometimes over the decades :)

[@MrWhatdafuBOOM]

Same here, also german boy from '95. This soundtrack stuck with me since childhood. Probably no suprise I'm more into older music.

[@RF23232]

German born '84. Agree to everything.

[@getreal2977]

Also from Germany, I watched this movie in the theater 1980 and fell in love in particular with Rene's song. This song with it's melancholic and haunting tune followed me through my life and one day I had to make my decision for my future and took a huge leap of faith. As tough as it was, over two decades later, my lioness never let me regret my decision to follow her over 4,000 miles as she became my personal gold medal. So yes, this song had quite an impact on me and my life. We just had our silver wedding anniversary. Thank you, Graham.

[@FirstLast-dc7bc]

I'm 41 - I'm in tears listening to this classic!! x

I’m 40 and I’m listening to this with my 7yo boy. I got this in a Christmas stocking when I was about 5 and it was a Postman Pat video in the case. My Nan went straight down to Woolworths the next day and got it exchanged. The movie stuck with me ever since and got many many replays. An awesome movie and an amazing soundtrack indeed.

[@atribecalledjudah5436]

I feel you it reminds me of great time being a kid.

The Last Song „Weve Made it to the top“ gives me Ultimate nostalgic goosebumps... Childhoodtime = Best Time! I wanna be a Kid again

[@Trashgriffin]

I'm a 95 kid from Switzerland and one day in the early 2000s my parents caught this movie on TV and recorded it for me. Remembering this film and the music feels like remembering a magical time when I stepped into a magical place, a long, long time ago. I just bought the German DVD version and I'm so happy such a thing even exists. Can't wait to watch it with my friends and hide my face because I will be crying.

[@jasonrothbaum7266]

You can tell that Graham was at the top of his game and really put the time into this. There isn't a throwaway on this entire soundtrack - just an insanely talented guy 'going for it'

[@robl2894]

One of the films I watched several times a week as a kid. Brilliant.

[@alexac3098]

Raise your hand if you're 50 years old and watching the Tokyo Olympics inspired you to come looking for this soundtrack.....

[@RickGraham]

Graham Gouldman thank you brother. Grew up with this music.

[@mikeread4329]

I grew up with this as a kid in the early 2000's simply cause my mom saw it at a video store and thought it'd be cute for us I loved it and now that I am a musician I have taken lots of inspiration from this sound track and I jam to this all the time now

[@RF23232]

Love that story. ❤

[@tanjahuser166]

Hi there, my sisters and I have just watched the movie. We used to watch it million times when we were younger. Somehow we all three believe that there was a different René&Kitty song.

[@ChrisKewl]

I don't know of an alternative version of "With You I Can Run Forever" (Rene & Kit's Theme) - if you find it do let me know. Thanks!

[@FlowerofDissolution]

On of the best animated movies ever. I loved it as a kid. It was one of those things that taught me English. As a kid in the 80s, the special effects and everhing about his movie hit right home!

[@FlowerofDissolution]

Me music is really something. I listen even to it this day, that's how catchy and good it is. It's that sunbeam through a dark cloud and I just have to love it!!

[@Vailskibum]

Phenomenal movie

[@tablaturebutler2823]

Animalympics is the creation of Steven Lisberger, who wondered what it would be like if the animals got together to compete against one another. He even has a voice cameo as Dean Wilson, the body-surfing otter. Lisberger is better known as the writer and director of the original TRON for Disney, which was originally conceived as another "what-if" idea - what if a guy fell into cyberspace and had to fight his way out? The man's a genius...

[@Swampert384]

I did not know Dean was voiced by Linsberger. That's pretty interesting. For suure.

[@geoffboyardee3325]

Man I had no idea! No wonder I love them both so much!

[@marcusaurelius6307]

Wilson.....as in, beach boy wilson?

[@motxmod]

Fun fact: the guy in neon before the opening credits of the fill was a local radio mascot and was named Tron, the very same from the film.

[@BDNB-baddognobiscuit]

Oh that’s cool! The otter was my favourite character

[@jonesjeff42]

I entered a competition as a kid in the local paper, first prize some jeans, second prize the vinyl version of this soundtrack (which I still have) In restrospect I'm pretty sure looking back this was the first prize!

[@Rumblemach]

This is the greatest childhood nostalgia I know of on KZbin. Nothing else hits quite like this.

[@storywizard1]

I first saw Animalympics around 1983 or 1984 when I was around 8 or 9. Such a wonderful cartoon that has stayed with me for life. I'm now in my 40s and I just watched it on dvd today on this hot sunny bank holiday in London. My favourite songs are, We've Made It to the Top, Away From It All, Rene's Song and With You I Can Run Forever. I also love the African sound of Kit Mambo's song. I wouldn't trade the era I grew up in for all the money in the world.

[@Kage342]

They should actually play the music from this movie at the next Olympic games. 'Go For It' and 'Z.O.O.' should be played at opening ceremony because well, it is a great build up and the actual title is appropriate. The final song at the closing ceremony should be 'We've Made it to the Top' with pictures and highlights of various athletes who have won the gold medal and such. It would be a nice memorial to all the fun they had and it would make everybody sad that it is all over and make everyone want the next one to come swiftly. Who is with me on this idea?

[@rodneysmith6270]

It was created for the Olympics in the 70's and was shown on giant screens at the events

[@mymoonams]

Yeah.

[@purpleepicicon]

I was born in '77. This movie was a huge part of my childhood. Still hits me hard as an adult. Definitely withstood the test of time.

[@RF23232]

This movie influenced my childhood so much. Yes, it's an animated film but especially the soundtrack combined with the scenes make the movie worth to watch. Especially the lyrics of "Born to lose" and "Love's not for me" tell us much about life and choices. If you didn't see the movie so far, don't miss it!

[@ChrisKewl]

[@wulfweards]

This was truly an inspirational movie for anyone needing something to bring them up from their lowest. This movie taught me to never give up nor allow anyone or anything to get between me and my goals. Combine that with beautiful inspirational music from 10cc; and you have something that could lift you up and make you hungry for victory and success!

An under-appreciated classic killed by running out of money late on during production and therefore stopped from becoming the global phenomenon that it deserved to be.

The remastering is part of a project to preserve works that make their mark on the furry community as a whole. they have one of the largest arcive collection of furry art work, litterateur and films. the remasting of Animalympics would be a huge accomplishment in my opinion, especially since it's being done by a private collection group.

I first saw this when it was broadcast on NBC in 1982 (or thereabouts); I was 12 at the time. I became a convert on the instant and still remain one to this day. One of the best Disney movies that Disney never made. Not a single loser in the soundtrack. 😊 P.S. I lip-synched "We've Made It To the Top" in front of my delighted peers upon my graduation in '86. (It was a personal mixtape.) 😁

Oh my, how I love the music and the film! watched it again and again and again as a kid. nice and fun movie with a brilliant collection of different music genres and styles. It was a perfect symbiosis of animated movie + fitting soundtrack. It also introduced me to "psychedelics", the movie itself was huge tribute to psychedelic experiences, like the otter jumping from the kickboard into a psycho swim in the ocean, the skiing boar transforming into a machine or the goat hallucinating all the shits in the marathon. Definitely one of my absolute favourites of my childhood. Now that I speak of and remember the movie: everything's so good, I'll go watch Animalympics right now haha cu

Can we all just collectively agree that this was Zootopia before Zootopia?

Thank you so much for this! I have been searching for Animalympics for many years. When I was young I had the Lp but lost it. Cheers
