Who composed the Jungle Bunch: Operation Meltdown Soundtrack?
Olivier Cussac composed the score for Jungle Bunch: Operation Meltdown. Cussac is the Jungle Bunch franchise’s regular composer — he wrote the music for the original 2017 film The Jungle Bunch as well as the animated TV series, and he returned to score this sequel. His work draws on influences such as Michael Giacchino, Lalo Schifrin, and Michael Kamen, blending full orchestra with choir elements for an adventurous, family-friendly sound.
The score was released digitally and on CD by Music Box Records under the title “Les As de la Jungle 2 – Opération Tour du Monde,” performed by the Orchestre National d’Île-de-France. Confirmed track titles from the official release include “Coup de foudre,” “Les Baltringues / Camélia,” “Nouvelles Aventures,” “Arnold,” “Passive Attack,” “La Formule,” “De Doux Aveux,” “Paris / L’Usine,” “Medley Maurice,” and “Chez Albert,” among others on the 13-track album. Because the album is credited under its French title and we could not verify an official English-language, scene-by-scene track list, we’re not publishing a full cue-by-cue breakdown here to avoid guessing at titles.
