I'm doing an analysis of movie 5's score. Here goes:

0:00-2:37: A new, amazing opening theme,
2:38-3:03: A snippet of "The valley", one of the most beautiful pieces in the sequels, heard in the credits for movie 4.
3:03-3:54: A cute, playful tune as the gang decides who should get the treestar.
3:55: silence
3:56-4:06: Ceerful tune resumes, then suddenly stops as Spike hits the tree.
4:07: Silence
4:08: Crashing noise
4:09: Silence
4:10-4:19: Awkward music as Petrie falls
4:19-4:21: Silence
4:22-4:57: Cheerful, playful tune as the gang chase the treestar, it mellows nicely and then becomes playful again, then mellows again
4:57-5:09: Somewhat regretful tune ending on a bitter note as Mr. Clubtail gets the treestar.
5:10-5:16: Silence
5:17-5:30: More melencholy music that suddenly becomes intense as Grampa enters the scene.
5:31-5:44: Silence
5:44-5:53: More dull melencholy music
5:54: Silence
5:55-6:52: Edited version of the beautiful second song that played during movie 3's credits.
6:52-8:41: A brisk, intense new tune in which the leaf goblers make their attack.
8:41-10:29: A very dark piece as everyone looks and later disscusses the damage the leaf gobblers did. Starts out almost like a funeral dirge.
10:29-11:23: A nice, optimistic pioneer-style piece that's played as the gang dicusses how they don't want to go live with their own kind and the resulting decision that everyone will leave together.
11:23-13:27: A dark, beautiful new piece entitled "The desert" as we know from the Michael Tavera sountrack clips, played as the herds make the long treck acorss the desert.
13:27-13:38: Silence
13:38-13:42: Loud, scary music as Cera uncovers a bug
13:42-13:44: Silence
13:44-14:58: More dramatic, dark subtle score (note: it is sometimes hard to hear over characters talking)
14:59-15:09: Repeat of part of 8:41-10:28
15:10-15:12: Silence (?)
15:12-15:57: Re-use snippet of "Whispering Winds" from movie 1
15:58-16:19: More slow, melancholy music, perhaps a snippet of 8:41-10:29?
16:20: Silence
16:21-17:01: Re-use of music when Cera charged at Sharptooth in movie 1

17:02-17:50 Walking pace music as the gang marches through the desert; with the harpsichord it sounds a bit like something you'd hear at a dinner party
17:50-17:52: Silence
17:53-18:13: Dinner party music resumes
18:14-18:15: Silence
18:16-18:27: Another melancholy snippet
18:27-31: Silence
18:31-18:47: Exited, fast music
18:47-19:37: Playful, exited variation of "The valley", ending on a peaceful, sparkling note as the gang reaches the big water.
19:38-19:42: Silence
19:42-19:56: Music from the treestar chase used
19:57-20:24: music turns sour and awkward as the gang realizes
 the water is salty; ends on dramatic note
20:25-20:48: Silence
20:48-21:05: Re-use of "Whispering winds"
21:05-21:31: Rather akward sounding score
21:32-21:39: Nice, sparkling score as they see the island
21:40-21:56: The cute, playful tune from 3:03-3:54...
21:57-22:03: Which flows nicely in to what I believe is a sped up snippet of "The Desert".
22:04-22:17: What I'd call a "discovery tune" as they see the path to the island.

22:37-24:00: Re-use of the bit of "Discovery of the Great Valley" during the Sharptooth fight scene.
24:00-24:08: Nice, sparkling, calm after the storm music. :)
24:08-24:19: Chasing the treestar music AGAIN.
24:19-25:12: More subtle (and towards the end brisk) music as the gang observes the island's vegetation.
25:12-25:25: Regretful tune that played when Mr. Clubtail got the treestar earlier on.

29:26-29-45: Slight variation of "The Valley"

30:47-33:42: A new, intense, action packed piece in which they encounter the swimming sharptooth.
33:43-49: Subtle music that I can say for sure has not been played yet.
33:50-34:01 Mr. Clubtail getting the treestar music (maybe the ending is different)
34:02-34:03: Silence
34:04-34:13: Music that played during mountains that burn scene in movie 1
34:13-34:25: Silence
34:25-38:17: "Always there" (The music for this song starts way before the actual singing does)

39:12-13: Silence
39:14-40:18: Fast paced chase music
40:18-40:22: Silence? (Hard to tell over characters)

41:17-41:58: Darkish tune
41:58-42:00: Silence
42:00-42:14: Intense-playful tune
42:14-42:25: Silence
42:25-42:38: Mr. Clubtail getting the treestar music
42:38-42:44: Silence
42:44-42:50: So subtle it's hard to decipher
42:50-42:58: I think a re-use of 41:17-41:58
42:58-44:27: When Chomper's parents appear this new song plays. Both sort of dark and humorous sounding
44:27-44:29: Silence
44:29-44:39: Subtle melencholy music
