T.". The scene is the one where the bicycles take to the sky. The music seems VERY similar to that heard in one of the latter movements of Beethoven's Symphony #5 (can't remember off-hand which movement; not the first, though). Always wondered how John Williams could compose so much music so quickly! Bill Beblo Bell Communications Research 290 W. Mt. Pleasant Ave. Rm 1B-112 Livingston, New Jersey 07039 (201) 740-4421
