Up (Soundtrack from the Motion Picture)

“Up (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)” is the film score to the 2009 “Disney-Pixar” film of the same name composed by Michael Giacchino. This is his third feature film for “Pixar” after The Incredibles and Ratatouille. Giacchino wrote a character theme-based score that the filmmakers felt enhanced the story of the film. Up received positive reviews from music critics and won major awards. Despite being well regarded, Up was not released as a compact disc (CD) until 2011, when it became available via “Intrada Records”.

The score album was nominated to multiple awards. It earned two “Grammy Awards”: Best Score Soundtrack Album for a Motion Picture, Television or Other Visual Media and Best Instrumental Composition for “Married Life”, at the 2010 ceremony. The score also won the “Golden Globe Award” for Best Original Score at 67th Golden Globe Awards, the Academy Award for Best Original Score at the 82nd “Academy Awards”, and the “BAFTA Award” for Best Film Music. Up was the first “Disney” film since Pocahontas to win the Academy Award for Best Original Score, spanning a gap of 14 years, and the first Pixar film to win the award. It also became one of few scores to win an “Oscar”, a “Golden Globe”, a “BAFTA”, and a “Grammy”.
