Joel McNeely scores Tinker Bell

Posted on July 9, 2008 by Dan Goldwasser

Composer Joel McNeely recently recorded his score to the upcoming DisneyToon Studios computer-animated film Tinker Bell at the Sony Scoring Stage with an 88-piece ensemble of the Hollywood Studio Symphony.

Orchestrated by McNeely and David Slonaker, McNeely conducted the music which is filled with sweeping melodies and a lot of energy to it. A choir was used later in the week, giving the music that special Disney touch.

The music was mixed by scoring engineer Richard Breen, while director Bradley Raymond and producer Jeannine Roussel gave feedback. Matt Walker (Senior VP of Post Production Music) and Brett Swain (VP of Post Production Music) were also on hand to lend opinion and suggestions. In the back of the booth were music editor Dominic Certo and ProTools Recordist Larry Mah.

Tinker Bell will be released on DVD and Blu-ray on October 28, 2008.
