I'm a huge John Powell fan and this movie came on the other day and when it got to this part I knew I had to do a transcription of it for you guys.
If you like it or want more leave a comment (I know y'all love trolling my comment section) and like the video so the algorithm picks it up, or if you have a specific solo in mind leave that in the comments!

One reason I think John Powell is he best composer in the industry is how seriously he takes animation. Most composers just make some random orchestral underscore, but Powell (like Hans Zimmer, his mentor) actually writes music. Awesome music to be exact.
