Originally Kenji Kawai and Yoko Kanno were asked by Production I.G. to do the music, but both of them refused because their scheduling conflicts. Since Mamoru Oshii is a great fan of Hans Zimmer, he asked the German composer who also couldn't accept the offer, but recommended his friend Mark Mancina and Zimmer stayed as music producer and also wrote some themes for the series, essentially both composers scored theatrical films from Walt Disney Animation Studios, Zimmer scored The Lion King (1994) whilst Mancina became a recurring composer and scored features such as Tarzan (1999), Brother Bear (2003), and Moana (2016).
