It's not just about stories, images, dialogues and silences. The musics in the movies have a job, a purpose and in some cases, with the passage of time, the music manages to have as much presence as the story itself in our memory.
We bring you only 15 original soundtracks of children's films that you can see with your children and that later you can listen again and again. Soundtracks for small and future music lovers, to make our children love music and not only in the cinema.
They could be more, it is true, but we will be left with only 15 to start. 15 movies or rather, 15 soundtracks with their own life, surely more than one will accompany you on a car trip, for example, this upcoming vacation.
The Aristocats
Bohemian cats that play jazz as authentic professionals, Ladino cats that sing their evils with a lot of art. Cats are tremendous musicians in this story that we can enjoy with the smallest of the house an indeterminate number of times because as the composers of this tremendous soundtrack say, it is completely timeless and always sounds fresh and fun.
Fantasy
It is a musical film so it could not be missing in this compilation. It's one of those movies to see with the little ones in the house, to see it and to listen to it, to live and dream about the fantasy of great music.
Tiana and the toad
We continue with jazz, a lot and good, but now we are in New Orleans and the “mardi grass” a party that sounds as good as the movie itself. Randy Newman was to blame for this magnificent soundtrack that was even nominated for an Oscar at the time.
Mary Poppins
We return to the Disney classics. The songs are translated into Spanish so the little ones can learn them and hum them over and over again. In her original version Julie Andrews sang superbly well.
Smiles and tears
Yes, again his voice in the original version, again Julie Andrews giving life to a peculiar governess and again a classic with one of the best known, sung and hummed soundtracks in film history. It is not that it is a children's film itself but that is why it is still perfect for an afternoon of family cinema.
The jungle book
Yes, it is a delight to watch the movie where we look at it and of course the soundtrack lives up to the story itself. One of the classics of the animated cinema that has aged better and of which we have already spoken to you on this same page on the occasion of the premiere of its "human" version.
Dumbo
One of the saddest songs that can be found in a children's movie is the one that his mother sings to Dumbo, cradling him with his trunk from the cell. The soundtrack is great although the moments in which the music sounds maybe the animation gives a little fear to the little ones.
Brave
Celtic music for an unconditional love story. The soundtrack counts for the main theme with the voice of Russian Red, but it also has many moments in which the rhythm of the music gives strength to the protagonist to move forward.
River (I and II)
Brazilian rhythm one hundred percent in the two films of the Blue Macaws. The two films have magnificent soundtracks that can be heard again and again and always give you a joy that sneaks through your feet, it is difficult not to move, if only a little with these two soundtracks.
Happy Feet
Another bird movie, in this case they are penguins that sing and dance like real artists to the rhythm of Ricky Martin, Lionel Ritchie, The Beach Boys or Prince, among many others.
Home
In addition to the girl's character being inspired by her, Rihanna is responsible for the soundtrack of this 2015 film for which she had the collaboration of different artists, from singers to DJs, such as Jennifer Lopez, Kiesza or Jacob Plant among others.
Grease
You do not need any mention of your original soundtrack, surely we have heard it so much that we already know perfectly in what sequence each song enters. No, obviously the movie is not to see with the little ones but with those little ones who have grown a little more and who can enjoy the music, history, cars and dances of these somewhat grown-up high school boys.
Mamma Mia
Another that is not for children but that children enjoy very much, for the surreal point of the story and especially for the tremendous original soundtrack signed by the ABBA group. One hundred percent danceable, can you think of something more fun than singing the songs while watching the movie for the umpteenth time?
Star wars
To talk about John Williams is to talk about movie music with capital letters, it is to talk about a soundtrack that makes us immediately identify a movie and orchestral movements that lead us to think about some of the most significant moments or characters in this saga . It is perfect to make our children get used to the overwhelming sound of the great orchestras.
Indiana Jones
Seeing him run through jungles or cities while a whole orchestra is playing in the background is inevitable that he has your heart even more in suspense if it fits and of course, if in front of the orchestra we have John Williams again because there is nothing more to add. A new saga to which Williams put his rhythm and his music and earned him another nomination for the best original song, one more ...
