Disneynature: Sea Lions of the Galapagos is now available on Disney+. Its soundtrack is also now streaming on music streaming services. The score was composed by Raphaelle Thibaut.
Said Thibaut, “Composing the score for ‘Sea Lions of the Galapagos’ was incredibly rewarding. I believed the score had to play a crucial role in capturing the emotional depth of Leo’s journey. I was drawn to the emotional and environmental contrasts at the heart of the film—playfulness and danger, land and sea, intimacy and scale. To support Leo’s journey, I blended expressive orchestral writing with raw, textural sounds and subtle regional colours, aiming to create an immersive, organic sound that felt like an extension of the environment and to capture both his spirit and the wild, magical character of the Galapagos.”
