It's doesn't contain traditional Western flavors because it sounds like everything else Zimmer does. My daughter is watching this and I was in the other room listening, and I came to IMDB because I thought to myself "this score has Zimmer audio prints all over it" and sure enough I was right. Massively repetitive with melodic material that doesn't stray far from other scores of his, very synth-y quality sound making even the strings sound artificial, and tons of overblown percussion.
I find it tiresome and generic but it's fitting enough for the film and tells the kids all of the appropriate places to be emotional.
