In the House of Mouse

As long-time fans know, Trevor is one of the go-to film composers for Disney, and this role originated courtesy of his status as a colleague of Jerry Bruckheimer, who has produced a large number of movies for Disney, both under the auspices of Touchstone Pictures and Walt Disney Studios.

But Trevor's talents have also been utilized in a fashion which perhaps other composers cannot entirely lay claim to, and that's in regards to his music for theme parks.  And given the long-standing relationship they are of course Disney theme parks.  I find this wholly wonderful because, as a native Southern Californian, Disneyland was as much an enduring part of my childhood as any other.

If you're a completist kind of fan, here's where you can experience Trevor's music in the Disney setting.

Mission: Space
EPCOT, Walt Disney World
Orlando, Florida, USA
This ride is based on the Disneyland California attraction Mission To Mars, which was then made into a film, and then made into an attraction again.  Now that is recursion!  Gary Sinise, as fictional astronaut Jim McConnell, leads you through intensive astronaut training and a mission, whee!

I went on it twice!, or, How I Spent My Fangirl Vacation

Or if you don't plan on going to EPCOT, you can just watch this video, and hear some of Trevor's music which is broadcast outside of the attraction and during the ride.  Also, there is music playing in the gift shop at the exit.

Armageddon: Les Effects Speciaux and Front Lot
Walt Disney Studios Park
Marne-la-Vallee, Paris, France
The Armageddon attraction is not a ride, as has been previously noted, but a static effects show of the kind which is one of the primary attractions at the Disney Studios franchises   The attraction is located in the park's "Backlot" area along with a roller coaster and a stunt driving presentation.  It is a production setpiece, designed to allow an audience to witness a series of special effects much as the actors would have experienced them on the set of the film.

In this video you can hear a bit of Trevor's score, it's a "making of" short, featuring commentary in both English and French:

In the Front Lot area - the park's entrance - Trevor's "Titan's Spirit" theme, from Remember The Titans, is played as ambiance music.  I have visited the Disney's Hollywood Studios park at Walt Disney World, but I don't recall if any of Trevor's score work is played as ambiance in the Hollywood Boulevard area, which is the front entrance for that park.

I've considered how else Trevor's music could be utilized in the Disneyland setting, and since Tokyo Disneyland is a near-perfect replica of Disneyland California, and the companion park DisneySea has no parts apparently suitable for Trevor's music, I have to return to Walt Disney World...it's clear to me that Trevor needs to create some music for the Africa section of Disney's Animal Kingdom, or perhaps they could find a way to use some of his score for Whispers: An Elephant's Tale (which was also a Disney film).  Or, if Trevor would just honor my request (which I delivered as a direct plea in 2009) to score an animated feature already, then another ride might be constructed based on that for the Magic Kingdom park, and there you are...career planning, it's so simple!
