Heitor Pereira (Despicable Me, Minions, The Angry Birds Movie, The Smurfs, Beverly Hills Chihuahua) has recently recorded his score for the upcoming animated feature PAW Patrol: The Movie. The film based on Nickelodeon’s animated series of the same title is directed by Cal Brunker (Escape from Planet Earth) and features the voices of Beckett Hipkiss, Kingsley Marshall, Shayle Simons, Keegan Hedley,Lilly Bartlam & Ron Pard who reprise their characters from the show. They are joined by Iain Armitage, Kim Kardashian, Jimmy Kimmel, Tyler Perry, Randall Park, Dax Shepard, Yara Shahidi, Marsai Martin and Will Brisbin. The movie follows the pups as they are called to Adventure City to stop Mayor Humdinger from turning the bustling metropolis into a state of chaos. Jennifer Dodge is producing the project for Spin Master Entertainment. Pereira has previously collaborated with Brunker on the director’s last feature, The Nut Job 2: Nutty by Nature. PAW Patrol: The Movie is set to be released in theaters nationwide on August 20, 2021 by Paramount Pictures.
Pereira also has Illumination Entertainment’s animated sequel Minions: The Rise of Gru directed by Kyle Balda and starring Steve Carell, Taraji P. Henson, Michelle Yeoh, Jean-Claude Van Damme, Dolph Lundgren, Lucy Lawless, Danny Trejo, Russell Brand, Julie Andrews and Alan Arkin coming up. The film, which was originally set to be released last year by Universal Pictures, is now scheduled to open in theaters nationwide on July 1, 2022.
Animated Feature with a Heitor Pereira score number 169……, he’s overused in animated films recently, it’s like John Powell, Hans Zimmer, John Debney, and Harry Gregson-Williams in the 2000’s(but at least most of their animated movie scores are memorable, despite being very frequent composers)
Do you know if the score will be sell one day ? I can’t find it anywhere, and my little boy loves the music
Thanks !
