NEW YORK (AP) — The man who composed the music to The Lion King is just as comfortable with real lions, too. Oscar-winning composer Hans Zimmer animates such stunning nature sequences as bottlenose dolphins surfing for joy and lions hunting in the Namib desert for Planet Earth: A Celebration. The one-hour special pulls together sequences from Planet Earth II and Blue Planet II with a new narration from Sir David Attenborough and a reworked score by Zimmer and Jacob Shea. The composers say they enjoy writing music for nature documentaries because the sequences have never been seen before and have no associated baggage.
