Film scores (as opposed to "song soundtracks") tend to get a bad rap, and the reasons baffle me a bit. To each his or her own, I suppose, but film scoring is an art unto itself, and I really appreciate the composers who can write one that not only supports the movie, but stands on its own away from the film.

The score for "Bee Movie" does just that. As Mark and Glenn noted, it's a worthy addition to anyone's film score collection, and it's a big feather in Rupert Gregson-Williams' hat.

If you're not into film scores and just want the songs, you can find "Sugar Sugar" at Amazon's MP3 store or iTunes for a buck. And if you want "Here Comes the Sun," do yourself a favor: forget Crow's lackluster cover and get the original. You'll have to buy a CD ("Abbey Road" or "1") but not only will you get a much better performance of the song, you'll get a lot of other great music along with it.

This is a fantastic soundtrack. I have a degree in music and hear a lot of film soundtracks. And I have to say that this music is some of the "freshest" I have heard since John Barry's score to "Raise the Titanic."

Highly recommended.

Just what the heck are you people talking about??? This score is phenomenal! Did you think you bought the soundtrack?

Anyway, this is a great score. I own over 150 movie score's and in the cumputer-animated-movies-genre this is one of my top two at the moment. Ice Age II and this one share 1-st place. They are both dynamic and really fun to listen to.

Actully I had never heard of Rupert Gregson-Williams before I bought this score, but he found a place in my heart for sure. I'm looking forward to his next score whatever it may be.

This ain't a great soundtrack in general to begin with, so it's made worse when the best track, "Here Comes the Sun" by Sheryl Crow is one of the "Album Only" purchases. It's obvious that the soundtrack can't stand on its own--they know that people will only want to buy a couple of the songs so they make them "Album Only" purchases. I don't like it one bit and I *won't* be buying the album even if it means I don't get the song I want. Please change it, Amazon!

Album Only = just another reason for me to not buy a great song to add to my library. Too bad for the artist.

I am very disappointed that you can't get Here Comes the Sun on MP3 separately. This is the song my kids and I loved from this movie. Why not let the kids have it? They aren't going to listen to the instrumental soundtracks and why should I be forced to purchase an entire CD for just one great song??

like most of the other songs on this album... I want Sheryl Crow's "Here Comes the Sun" in a BAD way, though not bad enough to buy the album... I guess I'll have to buy another version of this song elsewhere...

I was disappointed that only one song on the track had the vocals. I was hoping to have the words to all the songs. This movie is one of my granddaughter's favorites.
