15 Best Hans Zimmer Film Soundtracks
10. Kung Fu Panda
There will be many who will disagree with this inclusion but listen up the next time any of the Kung Fu Panda movies is on and you'll change your mind.
Zimmer visited China to prepare himself and boy does it show, composing a soundtrack that seamlessly blends traditional Chinese music, with a tone more akin to a film about a Jack Black sounding Panda learning martial arts. Dreamworks may not always produce the best animation but between this and How To Train Your Dragon, they certainly have some of the best music.
Best Track: Oogway Ascends
As the name suggests, this song is played during the wise old turtle's final moments, as he is lifted off into the afterlife. If you don't get goosebumps, or even a tear to your eye, listening to this track then something is wrong with you. Honorable mentions have to go to Hero and Training Po, the latter being used in the brilliant 'dumpling fight' scene.
