Having heard all those songs, I'm glad they're not in the game.

It's a shame there are so few samples from the film. I think the familiarity of the music and quotes are a great thing to have in a pinball game. Surely the whole point of choosing a classic film as a theme is because everyone knows it inside out? Unfortunately JJP decided that soundalikes saying things that aren't in the film is a better way to go. Big thumbs down for me there. A highlight of the game for me is when the Wizard/Guard starts multiball because it is a clip from the film. There needed to be a lot more of that IMO. I don't really see much more of that being added from how it's developed so far unfortunately.

Perhaps too expensive to license the use of all that?

I think it would be hard to make the film clips sound good as compared to the new compositions (and they would play side-by-side), in addition to any possible copyright issues.

Probably to many licenses to procure. Remember Williams had to change taxi because they didn't have a license to use Monroe's likeness. I would think the same with Judy Garland, and the record companies, etc, etc. I may be wrong, if not it is a shame you have to pay for every little thing in this world separately.

Speaking as somebody who "does" music for a living, as desirable as actual movie soundtrack clips might be, you don't want the singing on the machine for the simple reason that it would clash with the increasing number of callouts that become more complex with each update. Can you imagine "Follow the yellow brick--SHOOT THAT SPINNER WITH SPEED!" or "Somewhere over the--RETURN IF YOU WISH TO CONQUER!" (Or whatever he says...I can't make out half of it because of the sound mix the way it is now!)

Shoot that sphere with speed! Wake early if you wish to conquer!

Oh...so THAT'S what it says! No wonder I never score any points!
