Marcus Mumford Talks About the Brave Soundtrack

I stumbled upon this video the other day but completely forgot to post it until now: Marcus Mumford, the lead singer of British folk-band Mumford & Sons talks (above) about the band's role in writing the song "Learn Me Right" for Pixar's Brave.

Mumford talks about the freedoms of writing for a film as opposed to for a CD, working with fellow Brit singer Birdy and Pixar. It's a very interesting look at the musical side of Pixar - Brave is scored by Scottish composer Patrick Doyle (Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Thor) and definitely worth a watch.

The Brave soundtrack promises to be one of the grandest and most immersive Pixar soundtracks to date!

Thanks to Mumford & Sons and Birdy and Doyle's fellow Brave musician, Pixarian Alex Mandel, for sharing this video!

Brave Soundtrack: Sounds of the Highlands

Disney and Pixar issues a press release this morning with some in-depth words on the soundtrack of Brave! Scored not by a Newman, nor Michael Giacchino, Pixar's first fairytale is scored by a newbie to Pixar, Patrick Doyle. Doyle scored Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, as well as Marvel's recent box-office hit, Thor. Joining Doyle on the film's musical side are Scottish Gaelic singer Julie Fowlis, British folk group Mumford and Sons, singer Birdy and Pixar's own Alex Mandel.


Pixar have also released another parody advert to promote Brave, Bag Pipe Greatest Hits (head to Pixar Corner to see this video feature).
