This score has great themes - Dubois and Vitaly are really fun and catchy - and the classical rearrangements are well-integrated, but something about the score as a whole doesn't work for me.
The action arrangements in particular (except for the Penguin chase) are just boring. I keep hearing the same trumpet patterns, dull violin swirling, and ascending lines again and again. There's no real form or tone to it.
The first score has a lot more feeling to it even with a less "sophisticated" orchestration.
ugh i really want that background song 'where did Alex go?'. specially that part when Alex climbs the wall of the tunnel and jumps, it plays a very beautiful, dramatic song. where can i get that?
So out of interest, how much of this did Zimmer actually write? It looks like he did pretty much nothing on this film.

I'm no expert, but he at least did:
--the main theme --the opening --supervised the other cues and gave them the go if he liked them
Is that right? :P

The tracks HZ did with Junkie XL are awesome, especially the entire Monte Carlo chase. Such a fun music :p
Hybrid, if you get that information, i'm curious about the involvment of HZ on a score like this. I mean it's a very good score for one of last year's best animation movies, but it's not as high-profile as TDKR was.

I won't lie, I'm pretty sure composers have a big freedom on those. HZ is doing the themes of course but I don't think he's as focused as he could be on, say, a Batman.
For the first Madagascar (which was really different cause it only had half an hour of score), he totally left in the middle and Dooley finished, cause he had a little movie called Batman Begins to work on... :P

He does seem to invest a lot of himself in the Nolan movies.

Yeah you can tell the other composers were given freedom here. With TDKR or POTC the cues from other people still sound like Zimmer but here a lot of it doesn't even sound like him.
I'm looking for a short segment just at the end of the end credits, just before the song credits appear at the very end (DVD release between running time 88:20 and 88:46 minutes).
Does anyone know what this is called?

The end credits are a compilation of tracks previously played in the movie.
The track you speak about is New York City Surprise, it's also on the official soundtrack album!

Thank you but that doesn't seem to be it. I don't have the DVD on hand at the moment but I believe it's the short section just before "New York City Surprise" begins.

I used the european dvd. The running time can vary a little according to the system (PAL, ...). The short section just before that is in track 2: "Bad Dream - New York City" (0'59"-1'20") :)

Wow, quick and helpful responses, thank you! I checked the official soundtrack which unfortunately doesn't list this track. Is there a way to purchase it somewhere?

No this track is in the unofficial release only, no way to purchase it. For that your only friend is google :)
Is the track name "19. Knife Sting - We're Going To America" correct, because I have seen some tracklist with word "Africa", not "America" this track's name?

Not 95 mins?

80 minutes of score... plus 15 minutes of dead silence at the beginning of each track = "95 minutes"
