taking a look at the musical scores of
particular films that are usually
undervalued or aren’t given the respect

also while these scores may contain one
or two songs with vocals the majority of
the work must be instrumental to qualify
number 10 Atlantis the lost Empire is
offering the legend of Atlantis probably
one of the few overlooked Disney movies

style the score takes the audience on a
