Original score from the 2008 antimated family feature film directed by John Henderson, starring Stephen Fry, Peter Serafinowicz and Miranda Hart.

THE STORY: Tales of the Riverbank tells the story of three friends – Hammy Hamster, Roderick Rat and GP the Guinea Pig – who, having swept down the river in a violent storm, embark on an epic journey in search of their lost homes.

THE SCORE: This new film version features the voices of Stephen Fry, Ardal O’Hanlan, Jim Broadbent and Steve Coogan – and an original score that relies on rich themes and infectious melodies in a way typical of its composer. Following the adventures of Hammy Hamster, Roderick Rat and GP the Guinea Pig, Thomas’ score is also filled with excitement, suspense, action, entertaining scherzos and big emotions – just as it should be in a big, epic story about three heroes who embark on a journey in search of their lost homes after a violent storm!
