    What happened to James McKee Smith? He doesn’t seem to have worked on anything after this score…

      After a decade of impossible deadlines, he chose his health over stress… :)

      Has been writing production music mostly ever since.

      Thanks for the quick answer. Understandable decision, but sad nonetheless. I’ve been re-listening to the first Kung Fu Panda today and noticed that most of my favorite cues were co-written by him.

      Yeah he was doing amazing stuff. On POTC 1 as well some fantastic cues !
