An interesting use of music occurs in The Polar Express (2004) when the kids are about to receive hot chocolate on the train. The music incorporates the sounds of the waiters footsteps/dancing, the chairs revolving, and the tablecloths being put down. Each of the waiters movements are also emphasized by an instrument being played in the background. I thought it was interesting to incorporate sounds as a part of the music, rather than just having them be left as background noise. The music also conveys the mood of the kids in the scene (they are in awe and excited) and the waiters, as the instruments are very light and bouncy to match their dancing.
