Netflix version is messed up

Just started watching TLU (as I do just about every year)...and I swear the soundtrack has been messed with. It's like all the dialogue-only scenes have been layered with random bits of the soundtrack from other parts of the movie. I say 'random' because they've used happy music during dramatic scenes, eg. when Schmendrik is trying to free the Unicorn from Mommy Fortuna's cage!

And in some cases the music louder than the dialogue (my hubby was watching it for the first time, and I had to put the captions on to make sure he could *appreciate* the dialogue).

Has anyone else noticed it? I swear I'm not going crazy...

The happy music you’re speaking of might be just Schmendrik’s funny moments and victory happy theme music. It plays during the trying and failing attempts to free the unicorn from the cage scene, attempting to free himself from the tree, a few seconds after Molly tells him he’s going the wrong way, during the Robin Hood, Maid Marian and Merry Men illusion scene, the big reveal of the unicorns in the sea within the waves and the bull going into the sea.

However if you’re talking about other scenes that aren’t mentioned above then the Netflix version is messed up.
