And boy am I glad I did!
Its a much, much, better film than the trailer would lead you to believe.
Love Is A Songreceived an Academy Award nomination for Best Original Song, butLittle April Showeris my favourite.
The song was recently used in a Vodafone advert in the UK to great effect.
Which is quite an achievement given the quality of the other songs.
It was awarded the Oscar for Best Original Song in 1940.
Somewhere Out There An American Tail
I remember seeing this when I was about four.
Its a film that I loved as a kid and one that I watched over and over.
This is a combination that was rarely heard, as both characters were voiced by Jim Henson.
Paul Williams and Kenny Ascher were both granted an incredible level of freedom whilst writing the songs.
Henson trusted them completely and was fully confident that hed love whatever they came up with.
Its one of the highlights of a soundtrack packed with some quite smashing lyrical work.
The score also won both awards.
Its theCircle Of Lifethats my favourite song that features in the movie.
The soundtrack to the film was phenomenally successful and was one of the biggest selling albums of 1994.
The song can currently be heard on adverts for Sky HD in the UK.
Two versions feature in the film.
