Fantastic Mr. Fox Scores Oscar Nomination

02/04/2010
. Alexandre Desplat's score for Fantastic Mr. Fox has been nominated for Oscar. ABKCO released the FMF soundtrack last year and, while it's been critically acclaimed, the Academy Award nod underscores just how truly brilliant this music is.

Upon hearing of the honor, Desplait commented, "Writing the music for 'Fantastic Mr. Fox' was a joyful moment of creativity that I was lucky to share with Wes Anderson.

"We tried to invent a world of musical sounds which would belong to the puppets only, and I took my inspiration from the craft of the animators, the set designer and the remarkable performances of George Clooney, Meryl Streep and Jason Schwartzman. I am proud to be once again honored by the Academy for such a special movie."
