Overview

Finding Neverland – Original Motion Picture Soundtrack features the evocative and emotionally rich score by Jan A.P. Kaczmarek, composed for the 2004 Academy Award–winning film starring Johnny Depp, Kate Winslet, and Dustin Hoffman.

The film, directed by Marc Forster, tells the story of playwright J.M. Barrie and his inspiration for creating Peter Pan.
