For Zimmer’s new live show he presented a Kung Fu Panda suite that featured the “Oogway Ascends theme”, the “Panda Po theme” & “ The Celebration theme”. Does this then confirm that all three of these themes are entirely Zimmer creations?
5m47-48 has the celebration theme.
My question specifically was if the Celebration theme was made specifically by Zimmer
I wouldn’t take the cues used in the setlists as confirmation that they were solely Zimmer compositions, take The Holiday or Pirates as examples.
Also IIRC Po’s theme (Panda Po) was written by Hans and JP, with each of them contributing a melody or something of that sort.

First time revisiting this score fully in awhile and I didn’t realise before that Shifu had his own theme that was essentially abandoned in the future movies.
