This volume examines music in fantasy cinema across a broad historical perspective, from Bernard Herrmann's scores for Ray Harryhausen, through the popular music scores of the 1980s to contemporary scores for films such as The Mummy and the Harry Potter series.

Unpacks animation film sound and music tracks, and contextualises them within the screen and music industries. Focusing on feature-length, widely-distributed films released in the post-WW2 period, this book highlights work from key centres of animation production, such as USA, UK and Japan, significant studios including Disney and Studio Ghibli.

From as far afield as the UK, the US, South Africa, Australia and Finland, this collection explores the role of sound and music across a wide spectrum of pornography and its increasingly uncertain boundaries with mainstream erotica.

This volume investigates the relationship between movement and sound as it is revealed, manipulated and crafted in the dance film genre.
