He first gained recognition for The Incredibles.Won an Academy Award for Up and a Emmy for Lost. Can be seen as a modern-day John Williams, sharing this with fellow composer Joel McNeely (who is now considered to be the Poor Man's Substitute for blockbuster composer Giacchino himself in recent years), whom Giacchino can also be seen as a next-gen Superior Successor to along with the late Frank DeVol due to also their most occasional collaborations with Disney sided with their other film and television works outside of the family-friendly company. He can also be seen as the modern day Stu Phillips in the television business due to scoring episodic music for shows whose theme songs were composed by the show's creators (Glen A. Larson for Phillips and J. J. Abrams for Giacchino). Also known for naming many of his pieces with awful puns and being the usual composer for filmmakers J. J. Abrams, Brad Bird, Matt Reeves and Colin Trevorrow, and for being a frequent composer for projects in the Marvel Cinematic Universenote since Phase 3.He also created the new fanfare for the 100th anniversary Paramount logo, along with the fanfare for the new Hammer Films.Much of his work for Pixar can be found on Pixar's Awesome Music page. | |

Darker and Edgier | |
| Michael Giacchino (Music) / int_14beeefd | comment |
Darker and Edgier: His collaborations with Matt Reeves tend to be this compared to the rest of his work, gloomier and quieter than the John Williams-esque scores that he is more famous for. His score for Reeves' The Batman is also this compared to prior Batman film scores, more somber than Danny Elfman and Hans Zimmer/James Newton Howard's themes and comparatively less bombastic than Zimmer and Tom Holkenborg's, while at the same time serve as a companion piece to Jerry Goldsmith's hauntingly harsh and dissonant scores to First Blood and Outland. | |

Hurricane of Puns | |
| Michael Giacchino (Music) / int_2937826d | comment |
Hurricane of Puns: His tracks have a serious tendency to be punny (virtually every track title in the Star Trek (2009) soundtrack is a pun, usually either on the contents of a scene or on Nero's name). Because of his propensity for punny track names, his soundtracks also tend toward inadvertent spoilers. | |

Recycled Soundtrack: Numerous themes get recycled throughout his works, leading to the same theme popping up in Star Trek, LOST, The Incredibles, Up, or Ratatouille with only a slight change to fit the theme. | |

Production Posse: He's worked with Chris Tilton (on whom the terrible pun tradition has rubbed off) on both games and television. Inversely he's part of the JJ Abrams and Pixar posses (especially Brad Bird) and used to be part of EA's. Amongst his regular musicians is legendary session bassist Abraham Laboriel Sr. He has worked with writer Adam F. Goldberg on the Muppets productions The Muppets' Wizard of Oz (as a composer) and The Muppets Mayhem (producing the score, which was composed by his son Mick). | |

Author Appeal | |
| Michael Giacchino (Music) / int_6627695f | comment |
Author Appeal: The man loves his strings and brass sections. Expect to hear one or the other on many of his scores. (Then again, these are pretty much standard issue on most film and TV scores, but Giacchino does admittedly use them more than most). He is heavily influenced by the works of John Williams, as can be heard in his use of strong leitmotifs with complex orchestration. It's even apparent in his incidental music, combining strings with small but precise jabs of flutes to raise tension. | |

Leitmotif | |
| Michael Giacchino (Music) / int_9f6fb586 | comment |
Leitmotif: Giacchino is in love with these. Nearly every score he writes features a few-note theme which plays constantly. In fairness, most film scores are built around leitmotifs, so Giacchino is hardly unusual in that regard. | |

Superior Successor: While's his musical work are a Spiritual Successor to Williams, McNeely, DeVol and Phillips as noted above, he can be considered this too as they can be seen as a next-gen Reconstruction of the latter four's own past work. | |

Reconstruction | |
| Michael Giacchino (Music) / int_e50987a9 | comment |
Reconstruction: His music is this of the upbeat, exciting Lighter and Softer orchestral music scoring that relates to composers that he grew up with such as John Williams, Jerry Goldsmith, Lalo Schifrin, Alan Silvestri and James Horner (right down to using veteran orchestrator Jack Hayes in his past works such as Star Trek (2009) and Up until Hayes' death), especially in the intense, brooding Darker and Edgier Hans Zimmer-dominated movie music world that some audiophile listeners could need a break from. The only difference between Giacchino and the aformentioned upbeat composers is that Giacchino needed another conductor to conduct his music, while the said composers usually conducted their own scores. | |

Pungeon Master | |
| Michael Giacchino (Music) / int_f46fb603 | comment |
Pungeon Master: At least half of his song titles will feature terrible puns. Rare aversions are The Family Stone and Rogue One, whose titles are sober descriptions just like in the scores by John Williams. (Although Giacchino and his team did do some for fun, which appear in the liner notes◊ with a Lampshade Hanging - it may have been at the behest of Lucasfilm). | |
