CUE-BY-CUE BREAKDOWN

The opening logos for Touchstone Pictures and Dreamworks SKG play with no music, just the ambient sounds of a quiet English countryside.

01. Dartmoor – 3:52 – Unreleased (0:08) / OST 01 [0:00-1:05] / Unreleased (0:08) / [1:05-2:06] / Unreleased (0:08) / [2:06-end]

The movie’s lone title card (“Dreamworks Pictures and Reliance Entertainment present”) is scored with a quiet string sustain. When the title card fades out and the Dartmoor countryside fades in, [… Coming soon]

The album version of this cue is edited down in 3 places – Removing the opening string sustain, shortening the music for Albert watching Joey from the fence (0:54-1:17 on the CD, running 0:23 compared to the film’s 0:31) and completely removing the music for Joey and Albert’s stare-down (which would go at 2:06).

02. To The Auction – 1:58 – Unreleased (0:21) / OST 02 [1:56-end]

03. The Auction – 2:21 – OST 02 [0:00-0:43] / Unreleased (0:05) / [0:43-0:52] / Unreleased (0:02) / [0:52-1:56]
04. The Auction (Alternate Ending) – 0:30 – Unreleased

The album has two microedits at 0:43 and 0:52, and also presents the original ending of the cue. The revised ending would be edited in at 1:44.

05. Bringing Joey Home – 2:16 – OST 03 [0:00-1:20] / Unreleased (0:03) / [1:20-2:13]

A 3 second pause has been removed from the album version at 1:20. The film version is also longer by 15 seconds overall, hard to tell if by looping/stretching what is heard on the OST in the film, or if the OST is edited down.

06. Bonding With Joey – 1:36 – OST 03 [2:13-3:49]

A Sustained note (OST time 3:00-3:02) has either been shortened on CD or lengthened in the film, no way to tell.

07. The Duck – 0:54 – OST 03 [3:49-4:20] / Unreleased (0:03) / [4:20-end]

A small bit of the repeating pattern at the end is removed at 4:20 of the OST track.

08. The Whistling Montage – 2:02 – Unreleased

Williams expanded the film cue into a concert arrangement, which was included on the OST in place of the original cue. See below.

09. Albert Defends Joey and Harnesses – 3:23 – Unreleased (0:22) / OST 05 [0:00-1:42] / Unreleased (1:14)

The film version of the portion on the OST is slightly longer, hard to tell if through looping in the film or editing on the OST.

10. Walk On – 2:42 – Unreleased

11. Townsfolk Arrive – 1:10 – Unreleased

12. Plowing – 5:35 – OST 06 / Unreleased

The film version is about 25 seconds longer than the OST version. It seems like the first half of the cue in the film is a different, longer take compared to the album version. The second half of the cue seems to be the same in both places.

13. Dad’s Metals and Horse Vs Car – 1:51 – OST 05 [1:42-end]

In the final film, the cue edit edited down slightly at the very end.

14. Ruined Crop – 1:55 – OST 07 [0:00-1:52]

In the film, the repeating pattern heard from 1:11-1:21 on the OST is repeated 12 times instead of the OST’s 9 before the backing strings come in, but its hard to say if the film was artificially looped or the OST was edited down.

15. Leaving For France – 1:45 – OST 07 [1:52-end]

On the CD, the ending of the track bleeds into the next track, making a clean and complete ending unavailable.

16. Preparing For The Charge – 0:58 – Unreleased

17. The Charge – 2:24 – OST 08 [0:00-1:39] / Unreleased (0:45)

The cue fades in late on CD and is overlapped with the ending of the previous track. The section heard on the OST from 0:09-0:20 is 3 seconds longer in the film, hard to tell if due to stretching in the film or editing down on the OST. The final 45 seconds of the cue are not heard on CD, as the CD segues to the next cue early.

18. Surrounded and Captured – 1:42 – OST 08 [1:39-end]

19. The Package – 2:57 – Unreleased

20. The Desertion – 1:41 – OST 09 [0:00-1:29] / Unreleased (0:12)

The opening 13 seconds of the OST track are stretched to 29 seconds in the film, though it is unknown if they are artificially stretched or it is an alternate, slower recording. The ending is shortened to create a segue to the next cue.

21. The Execution – 1:07 – OST 09 [1:29-end]

The opening of the cue is shortened due to the way it segues from the previous track on the OST.

22. Joey’s New Friends – 3:30 – OST 10

A rare cue with no noticable differences in the final film.

23. The Saddle – 1:38 – Unreleased

24. Over The Hill – 1:50 – Unreleased

25. It’s A Pity They Found You – 0:53 – Unreleased

26. Pulling The Cannon – 4:12 – OST 11

In the final film, the section from 3:22-3:36 is dialed out completely. There are also some edits and possibly looping, though there doesn’t seem to be any unreleased music and the overal length remains the same.

27. The Death Of Topthorn – 2:45 – OST 12

On the CD, the ending of the track bleeds into the next track, making a clean and complete ending unavailable.

28. The Dash Across No Man’s Land – 2:44 – OST 13 [1:51-end]
29. The Dash Across No Man’s Land (Insert) – 0:04 – Unreleased

In the final film, a 4 second insert replaces 35 seconds of original material. On the album, the end of the next cue is heard overlapping the start of this cue. The album also presents Williams’ original version of the cue; the insert would replace 2:41-3:17.

30. Approaching Trapped Joey – 2:00 – OST 13 [0:00-1:51]

On the album, music from the previous track overlaps the beginning of the cue, making a clean opening unavailable. The film version of the cue is longer, but it is impossible to tell if its been artificially extended or if the album version is cut down.

31. The Reunion – 4:23 – Unreleased (0:06) / OST 14 [0:00-1:39] / Unreleased (0:03) / [1:39-2:16] / Unreleased (0:19) / [2:16-end]

The film version contains 28 seconds of material microedited out of the OST, but has 4 seconds of material microedited out towards the end, making it 24 seconds longer total.

32. Remembering Emilie and Finale – 5:14 – OST 15 [0:00-0:46] / Unreleased (0:07) / [0:46-end]

A long string sustain followed by a fadeout before resuming has been turned into a short string sustain that segues to the next piece of music quickly on the OST (at 0:46).

33. End Credits – 8:06 – OST 16
34. End Credits (Alternate Opening) – 0:21 – Unreleased

35. Learning The Call (Concert Arrangement) – 3:20 – OST 04

Williams expanded the “Whistling Montage” cue into a full concert arrangement and included it on the album in place of the film cue
