 Filmtracks: Black Beauty (Danny Elfman)
Black Beauty: (Danny Elfman) Marking the height of Elfman's orchestral majesty of the 1990's, Black Beauty would be one of Elfman's last classically influenced, fully-orchestral scores before experiementing with a more minimalist, electronic sound.
Looking back at 1994, it was easy to say that Black Beauty was "simply just another Elfman score." The composer had established himself as a highly refined artist in the fantasy, adventure, and mystery genres, producing scores that were darkly magical and enticing.
The title theme for Black Beauty is one of Elfman's best, slowly maturing from a violin solo to a heavy bass string statement of natural and slightly ethnic power.

 'Black Beauty'
In her screenplays for "Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey," "The Secret Garden" and "Edward Scissorhands," Caroline Thompson has made the child's-eye view of the world her special corner, and, on paper at least, "Black Beauty" seemed the perfect vehicle for her directorial debut.
Though Beauty suffers greatly, the movie skips rapidly through these punishing years without conveying much in the way of emotion until he is purchased by a good-hearted cabbie in London.
Otherwise, the movie is truly memorable only when Beauty (played by a 6-year-old quarter horse named Justin) frolics in the pasture, showing off his handsome lines and making rather an ass of himself in pursuit of a comely chestnut filly named Ginger (played by a Russian thoroughbred named Rat).
