Mix Presents Sound for Film: And the Award Goes To…
The Peanuts Movie
Animated films don’t traditionally fare too well in the main Oscar voting categories, with a few exceptions. However, they are playgrounds for the technical categories, and the sound team at Skywalker, led by the master, Randy Thom, has loads of experience, from films in the Pixar franchise to How to Train Your Dragon. Bringing the Peanuts characters to the big screen seemed like a natural for the new generation of moviegoers and while it didn’t exactly light up the box office, it did put forth a track that neatly bridges the base sounds of the everyday world with some of the exaggerated realism we expect from the best of animation.
