Why?

I have some books of sheet music from musicals, like Coco and Frozen. The music is always for the vocal songs. 

What I want to know is why they don't ever have songs from the soundtrack? In fact, I can't seem to find most soundtrack songs anywhere. I expect that for obscure movies, but not for Disney movies and other big names. The soundtrack music is actually easier to find if the movie isn't a musical. It's like the vocals completely overshadow the instrumental pieces. 

If I want to play them, it means I have to write them out myself, and it's a paaaaiiiin.

Let's Take a Moment to Appreciate Ballister and Bodhi

I recently watched Nimona on Netflix. It had been on my "watch list" for a while. But Nicole recommended it, so I moved it up the list. 

I loved it. 

Spoilers. 

I was at first excited to recognized the voice of the queen as Shadow Weaver (I love her voice).  Kind of sad to see how short-lived that was though. I would have loved more of her. Especially since she seems like a really good queen.

I also recognized the voice of Ballister. My brain worked its way to Star Wars, and all the way to Rogue One. But there it ended, and I had to look up who he was. The pilot, of course! Can we take a moment to go to Rogue One and look at what Bodhi the pilot does? Bodhi risks his life to defect from an evil organization, bringing vital information to the good guys. He ends up in the hands of a paranoid radical, who has an alien suck on his brain. Bodhi then recovers from that, escapes an exploding city, and volunteers to help with ANOTHER dangerous mission to gather more vital information. He is a key person in getting that information out. But then he's killed in the process. Poor guy. Freaking hero. 

So, as usual, previous characters help me get attached to new characters. In a shocking turn of events, my favorite character in the movie isn't the monster, but the knight! 

Maybe because he's the one that befriends and saves the monster. (I like monsters, so I use the term lovingly). Oh man, Ballister gets so tortured through the movie! (In so many ways).

The end was so stupid, but I loved it. And I loved the stupid debate about what kind of otter it was. And Nimona has so many cute animal shapes. I love how bouncy she is as a rhino.

Oh man, I think every time I watch it, I cry harder...
