This weekend, Film Music Reporter launches a new weekly article series covering music for new TV shows, as well as made-for-television movies and mini-series premiering in the following or previous week. The articles will be published every Sunday.
Earlier this past week, the Cartoon Network premiered Dreamworks Animation’s Dragons: Riders of Berk based on the Academy Award-nominated hit film How to Train Your Dragon. The show’s voice talent includes the cast from the movie, including Jay Baruchel, America Ferrera, Christopher Mintz-Plasse and T. J. Miller. John Paesano (Ice Age: A Mammoth Christmas) is composing the series’ music and is incorporating John Powell’s themes from the feature version into his score. The first episode is available to download for free on iTunes and the show airs every Tuesday night on the Cartoon Network. Visit the official show website to learn more and check out our previous announcement about the assignment.
