I'm not very familiar with Thomas Newman's work. I've seen Finding Nemo, but I can't remember the music from it, and I haven't seen any other films with music that he composed. However, if all of Newman's work is of the same standard as this soundtrack, I'd definitely want to listen to more.One word came into my head when listening for the first time: quirky. I'm not even sure what that word means, but it sounds like the right word to describe the soundtrack: out of the ordinary, wacky, weird, original, wonderful, unexpected, delightful.It will definitely bring out the child in you...
