I had no idea Zimmer did Muppet Treasure Island. I loved that song growing up. It also amuses me for two reasons:

One, hands down, Zimmer's most famous work is for another band of Pirates.

Two, James Newton Howard scored another Treasure Island film, Treasure Planet. The two collaborated on the first two Christopher Nolan Dark Knight movies.

This is also a good one:

I like how Zimmer reused a much less heroic version for Pearl Harbor:

Of course, few people realize this is Zimmer either:

He kind of sold his soul to Disney there for a while. I think of him as the Robert Ludlum of film composers: he's extremely prolific, and a lot of his stuff is derivative of his other works, but if it isn't broken...
