Known as Flåklypa Grand Prix in norwegian, which is the most seen Norwegian movie throughout the ages, at least according to this article by NRK from 2009.

Pinchcliffe Opening introduces us to one of the movies recurring and memorable main motifs. Sonny reiterates this motif, but adds a somewhat jolly whistling in its short tune.

Lambert's Theme/Getting Started also returns to the same motif in the middle of the composition. It's starting motif is also used in the All in a Days Work is another playful and spirited theme, with the same marching percussion.

There Lies Pinchcliffe introduces us to the movies recurring and memorable main motif. This motif is then called back upon in the Norwegian Sunset (Reodors Ballade) theme, but with a slower, ballad-like tempo.

Racing Down the Mountain is a fast-paced and upbeat track, which again, uses the same motif.

Soline's Dance is quite a standout track, lending influences from arabic music to fit the ethnicity of the character.

Fy Fazan Departs sounds majestic and "dutiful"?

Building Il Tempo Gigante has the same studious and happy work vibe to it as many of the rest of the tracks. And again, it uses the same motif as the opening theme.

Sabotage screams sinister and shadyness, quite descriptive for a sabotage.

March Kanate, Op. 2 i jolly and fun tune 😄.

Home Sweet Home uses the same motif as in the Opening theme

Reprise (End Credits) brings the movie to an end by doing callbacks to the two main motifs of the movie.
