Of course, it was 1994’s The Lion King that cemented his legacy. The score, which blended African rhythms with Elton John’s songs, won him his first Academy Award. The decade closed with an all-time great: the epic, driving score for Gladiator (2000), one of the best-selling film score albums of all time, and The Thin Red Line , which showcased his more meditative and atmospheric side.
