Music
The score was composed and conducted by Leonard Rosenman. The composer deliberately wrote no music for the first four reels of the film, before the protagonists enter the human body. Rosenman wrote that "the harmony for the entire score is almost completely atonal except for the very end when our heroes grow to normality".
The complete score was released in 1998 on compact disc, on Film Score Monthly records.

Famous quotes containing the word music:
“The music stopp’d, and I stood still,
And found myself outside the Hill,
Left alone against my will,
To go now limping as before,
And never hear of that country more!””

Yankee Doodle, dandy,
Mind the music and the step,
And with the girls be handy.”
