Well most people overlook Hans in the Lion King, because of his Collaborator at the time, Elton John was a bigger name than him back then.

I liked Backdraft because that music alone did two things. One, it help make something like fire fighting sound awesome. And Two, Hans knew what Ron Howard wanted. At the time, realism wasn't needed to make a movie look good if you had a good combination of storytelling. When they did Backdraft, they didn't care about the realism of fire fighting, but the POV of fire fighters themselves. They wanted to make fire fighting sound like a supernatural battle of epic purportion.
