The Land Before Time | Soundtrack Suite (James Horner)

[@lfgubrs]

RIP James Horner. Thanks for the childhood

[@samdiego1965]

Goodbye to one of the greatest composers of all time. You will truly be missed James

[@shepglennon8760]

10:28-10:40 that climax gets me every time...so mournful

[@caiuscosades362]

So many complex emotions in that last bit there. Such a joyful ending, "they lived happily ever after for generations"; lesser artists would have made it too saccharine, but Bluth pulls it off like no other and I get chills every time I hear that last bit of narration as they hug each other in the sunset and cut to credits.

[@Daercoma]

I was fortunate enough to meet James Horner, what a kind gentle soul he was.

[@Anaxirax]

Woah woah... I came here randomly to listen to this and at the same time I learn that James Horner recently died D: RIP

[@leeabe3932]

This is one of the grandest orchestrations ever for a children's animation - like some beautiful ballet of creation.

[@nishayates3901]

I have so many childhood emotions come back when I hear this! Lolol

[@danielstrike7650]

yeah and this feels so amazing :)

[@derickcastro8549]

This is possibly my most favorite music by James Horner and he will be remembered forever. Unlike my childhood, Im a teen with a soul of a child. And a quote to James Horner from a movie called The Iron Giant, "Souls Don't Die." RIP James Horner. We'll all miss u.

[@Cammapro]

How, can a normal person, dislike this?

[@BruizerBlue]

Born in 86 and feel somehow this movie from VHS at the library was a top 10 memory from childhood and especially that song....thanks Fred.

[@fishfrogbean]

why does this get me so emotional

[@lara6683]

that transition at 10:08 - 10:20

[@Gilgamesh465]

lara6683 I feel you on sooooo many levels at that transition. Thanks for pointing that out. He was a good composer btw.

[@RB01.10]

lara6683 Most powerful moment of the entire piece IMO.

[@Finecine]

Only Horner and the L.S.O. could pull that off, wonder if it that was mixed or if it was played with the live with the transition at Abbey Road Studio 1. There is not much that surpasses this soundtrack, it contains everything. Horners imagination and sensitivity with the openness to used synth let him lead the way in film scores.

[@mariosmanesis8376]

one of the best of james horner greetings from Hellas [Grecce]

[@mariosmanesis8376]

thanks

[@rolandh4947]

The absolutely best of James Horner

[@cinnn12]

such great music...you will be missed James Horner

[@abcpat100]

JUST BOUGHT THIS ON VHS! Rocking it 90s Style!

[@nataliexjean]

Wow this brings back some childhood memories. So powerful. This is my favourite childhood movie.

[@rolfmeyermusic]

RIP James Horner, you will always be one of my huge inspirations.

[@BenJabituya]

RIP James Horner :'(

[@brandoncruise6398]

Simply beautiful, adventurous, and emotional musical storytelling that fires up curiosities and imagination of life long, long ago.

[@user-om2jl9ys2v]

My favorite movie of all time.

[@brodiger]

I'll always remember this music from you thank you so much James Honer for being awesome for composing the music for this film it's one of my favorite works from you RIP you will forever be missed

[@Spectracon]

Rip James. Thanks for all the beautiful music.

[@philippegrand7494]

My Childhood in a track...can't put into words the memories it brings me

[@lnsullivan422]

I gotta admit that I love James Horner's music, and he will definitely be missed, but I'll go to my death bed with the fact that John Williams is simply the best. Anywho... Rest in Peace, James.

[@lnsullivan422]

Not at all, because John Williams composed Star Wars. Those scores, and the emotion in the characters that is conveyed by them, are proof in and of themselves that John Williams is a better composer than James Horner. It's actually more mature to think of one as better than the other, since their faults are being recognized. They're both fantastic, though.

[@Alty592]

I like Williams, but imo he has no range, all his works sound the same. Some would probably call it his own personal touch, but I find it to be repetitive and annoying. Everything he does more or less screams "Star Wars" to me. Completely distracts from the original work.

[@APTEM_Me]

These two are just the mirror of the great genius of Sergei Prokofiev, his musical style, which they brought to the modern generation.

[@NightWanderer31415]

Perhaps his best score. Heart-wrenching and beautiful at the same time.

[@kingbawesome]

I still have the movie after many years :) If I ever have any kids in the future, this will definitely be their first movie :)

[@marlo1987sh]

YEA JAMES IS PROBABLY THE BEST IF NOT HE IS IN THE TOP 5!!! THIS IS EPIC

[@Bloodfold3]

My heart is wanting to bring the kid back out in me so badly. And my mind isnt getting any younger...I just wish Walt Disney were still alive today. So he could see all the junk thats being made today, and bring back the movies that lived in our heart for years...and still grow with us. As we get older...those feelings, will never leave. And that, is a TRUE gift to make many movies that has had that effect on your life, your heart...and soul

[@Roxas935]

This makes me so sad listening to this!

[@KIM187]

why that?!

[@Roxas935]

KEONrca nostalgia... memories of when I was a kid.. ;)

[@KIM187]

Roxas935 i see. im also driftin in memories with this sound, but ... im not really sad. there is a time for everything ;)

[@nnpietro]

I know. Its the sound of when life wasn't seemingly as hard.

[@keithfritz6280]

Took our children to see this in 1988 when it came out. The first thing I noticed was the score and I wondered, "who is this guy?" I am sure he is writing scores for the Great Master now.

[@Asims6801]

I watched this film all the time when I was a kid. Then recently I had decided to watch it again. Balled right through it.

[@FreyaEinde]

Apparently I just felt like crying big old slobbery tears. That's why I'm here, that's why I've watched this. I regret nothing.

[@sydniusalminia5364]

2:30 right in the nostalgic feels

[@shadedgreyART]

i always get into so many arguments with my friends when i say i prefer this and an american tail over all of the disney films at the time

[@OpinionatedChicken59]

***** And do they physically attack you with a Blu-ray of Frozen?

[@shadedgreyART]

Violent Rainbow nah they're older so its usually the lion king

[@abcpat100]

***** Not going to lie The hand drawn 2D animated films Disney creates are good. Though the scene where Littlefoot's mother passes away is more emotional than Mufasa's death.

[@McSuperfly101]

When you consider that the Disney films "of this time" were things like The Black Cauldron and Oliver & Company I don't see how anyone could argue that this and An American Tail weren't better.

[@codguy360]

I cant describe how much i love these movies, but after recently watching the original i have to say, there was not a single happy moment in the entire film. i was crying the entire time. such a depressing movie for one of my favorites as a child

[@mariosmanesis8376]

the best suite ever thanks James Horner for all the great music on all the best movies R.I.P.

[@ArcRogerr]

Holy shit, this movie is almost 30 years old.

[@cyancoyote7366]

3:30 Is, in my opinion, the most beautiful part of this awesome soundtrack!

[@mariosmanesis8376]

one of the best of James Horner, R.I.P.

[@bigolbur1251]

I still hear the VHS quality wobbles when I think back to this film. I watched it so much that the tape started to deteriorate and got all 'wobbly'. Listening to this soundtrack I can still hear them VHS wobbles

[@aftermanyasummer2585]

This is my childhood, I remember how much I loved that main melody and still do!

[@danielabercrombie8013]

Childhood. #RIPJamesHorner

[@sdelly19]

this guy is a complete genius, I love him and Bill Conti. Man... just wow.

[@jamespitman2373]

Truly spectacular

[@elionaidgranados1005]

One day I'll meet you James thank you for inspiring a soul in this Music God bless you !!

[@thekingsean92]

This film and the song always moved me as a child and i have to admitt i still get pretty emotional when i ear this film's theme

[@sdelly19]

I've seen this so many times that i can tell you every line, and every part at every sound of this music

[@OpinionatedChicken59]

This movie came out the year I was born! I'M SO OLD!

[@tallgirl195]

Of course I have loved all this music since I was a child but after 10:14 I got chills the first couple times I listened... RIP James Horner, so sad

[@Philosupremum]

Good memories. This music is just AWESOME!

[@justintuffo2801]

incredible score takes me back to a simpler time in 2-d animation

[@rowenaescolano7401]

i love the story...........the only cartoon i cried too much

[@SithLordLuna]

RIP :(

[@e1000oak]

I love early Horner; the beginning of this mix is so epic

[@sarahbain3078]

love the soundtrack

[@KelAZ20]

These songs and some of the Balto soundtrack pieces give me goosebumps

[@chrisbarkerguitar]

Wonderful!

[@mariosmanesis8376]

thanks Fred, all your videos are more then great

[@Wulfgod1349]

I must say, your choices of music for this suite are damn good...and the way they are edited is seemless! It's like one song that never gets old. BTW (and I don't care what anyone says), James Horner is the man!

[@laurenschreiber3361]

my favorite soundtrack

[@Summergirl9091]

I was listening to the music yesterday and ended up crying

[@dhenri11]

You can feel the vast landscape being painted in "The Great Migration" - a beautiful beginning that I maintain should have been the main theme to the movie. It's interesting to hear how Horner took inspiration from Prokofiev's Romeo & Juliet for the "...Migration" theme. If you find the complete ballet (4 Acts) and go to about 1:57:57, you'll hear what I mean. Great stuff!!

[@benzodithioman]

I love this score!

[@ttoommssmmiitthh]

4:45 , littlefoots mom saves them.

[@mazrin90]

i miss land before time !

[@theworldisugly3]

HOLY CRAP, MEMORIES!!!

[@MegaJamesj]

Love this, great times at least I don't remember what is that movie when I was little, but now at age 11 I know this.

[@carlosmeneses4111]

las mejores peliculas tienen los mejores soundtracks..

[@rachdarastrix5251]

Why is it all music in The Land Before Time is just so much more aw inspiring when no one is talking during it?

[@danielreca]

Tengo 16 años pero mis padres me lo pusieron de pequeño y enserio la mejor película animada que he visto

[@CHilla415]

this sounds like childhood.

[@SolcitodeRosario]

Por la canción del min 09:52 q me acordaba perfectamente esa melodía... Le digo a mi novio.... Mirando La leyenda del zorro 2... El compositor de esa música debe ser el mismo q Pie Pequeño... Se cagaba d la risa... Googleé y así es!!!! Era tan especial, su sonido tan cálido.... Cómo se pudo morir ese tipo??? El más grande del mundo de la música!!! T adoro James!!!!

[@juns1987]

2:22 is the most memorable to me; omg i remember how sad i was when little foot's mom died

[@JeffreyKenison]

James Horner also did the music for Titanic (1997) which even won him an Academy Award. That I think might make a swell addition your list. Don’t you?

[@Xellusss]

widermal ein cooler soudtrack ;D

[@hannahwoods276]

Oh the childhood memories 😂

[@maxcons9043]

Land Before Time!!!!!!!!

[@juns1987]

oh man, of course james horner would have composed this. no wonder it was so memorable!

[@EclipseHedgehog]

10:31 ow! my feelings! they're bleeding!

[@jossan3441]

R.I.P

[@diegoperez9339]

GENIAL!!!

[@GiganticClayDino356]

1 dislike, somebody must not be human.

[@Einhasad]

8:25 *_* magic

[@nmeyers92]

8:48 until the end. magic

[@0anubis]

miss my innocence :( my childhood

[@FalseLieStudios]

RIP

[@christianldove]

I'm convinced that Horner drew inspiration from Prokofiev for this soundtrack. Go listen to Romeo and Juliet.

[@Yodolibre]

Esto es maravilloso y también para llorar hermoso

[@uhsfilmcrew]

That feeling when you find your last comment.

[@Zeitoper]

I see he liked Bartok's "Wooden Prince."

[@APTEM_Me]

Initially, the filmmakers wanted the dialogue not to be in the film, for example, "Spring Rite" in "Fantasy", "Talking with the audience" was to be music. Therefore, James Horner carefully approached the creation of the track. Prototype was the symphonic fairy tale of Sergei Prokofiev "Peter and the Wolf" in 1936. Like Prokofiev Horner, for each character a musical leitmotif is created. The transmission of symbols is transmitted by the ratio of different musical themes. I think that fans of this soundtrack will be interested in comparing these two works. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hGW9eYOffd-Yd6c

[@CeruleanFilms]

The very beginning of "Migration" (which is cut off here) actually sounds a heck of a lot like the prelude to Wagner's Rhinegold.

[@tvmattkc]

10:30 Chills up my spine :.)

[@matthewbuick5890]

Whispering Winds. :-)

[@WolfySnackrib666]

ME TOO :O

[@thatonewolfguy]

I would not be against a cg remake of this film

[@FeuerEngelRzk]

fucking movie to cry :'(

[@kittykitty0204]

Closest it gets to being "Disney" anyway is that George Lucas was involved. But it's technically made by Universal.

[@billroxxx]

goodness gracius, me! I love this crap! Me So Lonely!!

[@wentzr]

I really wanted to buy this soundtrack on CD for my kid this christmas... but $45+ on amazon? It's amazing music but c'mon man.
