SoundtrackNet – For his score to the film, Silvestri conducted a 101-piece orchestra, which included eight French horns and six percussionists. A choir was also recorded later in the week, heightening the dramatic adventurous material.

Nice to see Silvestri get a nice, big, fun scoring job. I’m still not sure what I think of the movie itself (but hey, Dick Van Dyke is in it, so I’ll see it just for that). If it give Silvestri the opportunity to cut loose and have some fun with a huge orchestra at his disposal, it can’t be all bad.
