Narnia Music on Tangled?

My siblings were watching Secretariat and there was an early Tangled ad on it. I heard some very familiar and loved music...looked over and saw that they were using the theme song from Narnia for the Tangled ad!
Hast anyone else observed this?
 
Could you find that advertisement or at least tell me what it said/showed? I just got several Disney Blu-rays and could double check. I know they have some 'Epic' stock music done by the same composer and they love using the 'Epic' music from Nation Treasure on Advertisements.
 
Yes...but I am willing to put up with it. Our computer is not working and I searched high and low for a power chord for this little NetBook so that I could get on here! I am just glad I can still get on here and talk.
 
It is standard practice to back trailers with excerpts from "appropriate" soundtrack music, regardless of the source. Heavily borrowed music is a sign that the soundtrack is not complete when the trailer was made, usually the case when the film is live-action.

Fully animated features start out with the voices, effects and soundtrack music and visuals are added to synch with the audio. By contrast, live action is filmed first, then the music is recorded with a stopwatch in one hand and a baton in the other. They may start early on composing the music, but they actually record it to synch with the action...the exact opposite of animated film work. In fact, very often there is a large viewscreen above the orchestra pit so the conductor will catch all the subtle nuances of "he's hiding behind the curtain with the knife...she's not aware" or "throw it overboard, it's about to explode!".

Those general assumptions may go out the window IF the butchered editing job of cramming ten kisses, five murders and an exploding car into a short trailer are too disjointed to match up with a proper movie track. Then they might look elsewhere for something to tie this jumble together.

Trailers often use the same music, because there was one movie ad I saw that had music from Pirates of the Caribbean....I believe it was one of the first National Treasure (2004) trailers.

The theme from Requiem for a Dream is also used frequently in movie trailers (one example being a Two Towers trailer)
 
Or the trailers Deep Impact used music from the score of Apollo 13.

It's worth noting that an add for the recent DVD releases of the BBC Narnias used Howard Shores music from Lord of the Rings.
