The Secret Life Of Pets (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) by Alexandre Desplat

The Secret Life Of Pets (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) is a Soundtrack & Scores album by Alexandre Desplat, originally released in 2016. On Gatefold: 3 pressings tracked.

About

A journey of this magnitude requires an appropriately animated soundtrack. Equal parts George Gershwin’s “Rhapsody in Blue” and George Benson’s “On Broadway,” Alexandre Desplat’s breezy, jaunty score for <i>The Secret Life of Pets</i> epitomizes a hustling, bustling New York somewhere between Woody Allen and <i>Mad Men</i>. Lively cymbals evoke wiggling, wagging tails, while seductive flutes bring to mind the caricature of an inquisitive-yet-cautious cat. And the curious, dancing clarinet of “Meet the Pets” perfectly sets the mood for the animals’ wide-eyed adventure.
