First Paul Westerberg, and now Prince. Is there any ’80s icon safe from the hellish, credibility-crapping task of scoring animated children’s films?
A new Prince track, “Song of the Heart,” will be found on the soundtrack to the upcoming animated film “Happy Feat,” due Oct. 31 via Atlantic. The cut, which features slap bass, piano and horns, was written specifically by Prince for the film, which boasts the voice talents of Elijah Wood, Nicole Kidman, Hugh Jackman and Robin Williams. “Happy Feet” centers around a family of Antarctic penguins.
Actually, we’d probably see this movie, unlike that totally stupid Open Season (yeah, like a bear and a deer would be friends–so fake). But couldn’t they have used one of Prince’s classics, instead of some surely terrible slap-bass nightmare?
