Paul McCartney has composed the themes for the upcoming animated feature High in the Clouds. The Grammy Award-winning singer/songwriter who was previously announced to contribute original songs to the film is also receiving credit for providing the themes to the score (presumably based on his songs) according to producer Nicolas Atlan who shared images from last week’s scoring sessions at Abbey Road Studios in London on social media. Michael Giacchino (Up, Lost, Star Trek, The Incredibles, The Batman, Ratatouille, Spider-Man: Far from Home, Jurassic World) has composed the score for the movie directed by Toby Genkel (The Amazing Maurice, Two by Two: Overboard!) and starring Himesh Patel, Celine Dion, Hannah Waddingham, McCartney himself, Lionel Richie, Ringo Starr, Idris Elba, Clémence Poésy, Jimmy Fallon, Pom Klementieff and Alain Chabat. The animated musical tells the story of a teenage squirrel who embarks on an extraordinary journey to set music free after he accidentally sparked a revolution against the bossy diva-owl who has banned all music from his town.
