Speaking to the British GQ, he said, “Music was so much a part of the original and the music in the current film didn’t have the same impact. The magic and joy were lost.”
He added, “The soundtrack hasn’t had nearly the same impact on the charts that it had 25 years ago when it was the best-selling album of the year. The new soundtrack fell out of the charts so quickly, despite the massive box-office success.”
