Writing along the lines of Alan Menken's work for Disney in the early 1990's, Silvestri not only provides a breathtaking score for the visually stunning Polar Express, but also lends a hand to the numerous songs that accompany the film. After Silvestri's minimal contribution to Cast Away, he comes back for Zemekis' next project with power. The pairing of Robert Zemekis and Alan Silvestri represents one of the most acclaimed and seasoned director/composer duos in the entertainment industry alongside Steven Spielberg and John Williams.
