Ralph's theme here is a simple 4-note motif that manages to resonate a lot of emotion for his character. While the music plays the action very nicely, you can feel every ounce of story and character within it as well. Since the title of the film is also the main character one would expect this score to be character centric, and it really is. The score is a wonderful orchestral experience that uses the electronic soundscape as an accent. While Jackman does play a nod to the early stages of game music he doesn't rely on it. Anybody who grew up with a GameBoy, NES or SNES will appreciate this score much more. That first track also introduces us to Ralph's theme. The music for Wreck-It Ralph has a wonderful soundscape and right from track 1 of the score we see how Jackman has incorporated that good ol' 8-bit sound into a modern feel. Wreck-It Ralph presented Jackman with the perfect opportunity to blend retro with modern in this wonderful score from the extremely versatile composer. Jackman scored Disney's Winnie The Pooh last year and it seems that kept him on the studio's radar.
Aliens, Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter and Puss In Boots have all been fantastic. His scores for X-Men: First Class, Monsters Vs. Henry Jackman has been riding in the fast lane recently as his career has propelled from additional music writer for Hans Zimmer to full-fledged auteur.
