Is this classical?

I LOVE this song, and the rest of the music from the movie "Astro Boy". I would say it is a type of classical music, but it differs greatly from much of the classical music of the baroque, classical and romantic eras. What do you think?

This is just one example of film music that seems like classical, but can't quite be sure.

Nice piece, I like it too. Listing to the harmony (dissonance) I would suggest an early 20th century style.

I think film music is its own genre. It can and does pull elements from every available style out there. Most classical lovers do not consider even intense orchestral scores like StarWars to be actual classical music - even 20th century classical.

This music fits the film music genre.
