0:01 to 0:15
Key signature of F#m. The chords on this scale are as follows
F#m (i) , G#dim, A (III), Bm (iv), C#m (v), D (VI), E (VII)
Let's call this Theme A, lasting 8 bars.
Melody on first and second violins. Harmony on Viola, Cello and Bass, arpeggiation on Harp.
The first four bars (until 0:18) are generally that of a happy feeling with only a tinge of melancholy. A crude outline of the harmony would be F#m, D, C#m, E. In the next four bars, the melody is repeated again, but only the first two bars are similar now, with the last two bars (0:26 0:34) taking on a more melancholic feel rather than an outright happy one. This is supplied in part by chromaticism on the melody played by Violins (F natural, Eb notes), the i-v-iv harmony staying in minor for the most part, and an unresolved ending with the unstable iv chord of Bm (iv).
If we are allowed to be a bit loose on definition, we could fit the above in what is called a parallel period. There are two 'phrases' lasting four bar each. The first two bars are identical in both phrases, as if they were a question-answer pair. While typically the first phrase has a slightly unresolved ending and the second phrase as a stable cadence, in this case, the first phrase has a slight unresolved ending with second phrase having even more unresolved ground.

0:42 onwards is restating theme A , with flute and some delays/echoes in the original recording. In this version, I just supported it with some Horns. The flute isn't in its strongest/brightest register but in the middle register, which gives it a melancholic feel again

The part from 1:26 is restating same theme again on Guitars and Piano (this is just made up version and not in the original)

1:51 onwards is the main opening title for the movie
You could say this theme is just a variation of the main 'A' theme we looked at earlier
We are on scale of B major.
In bars four and five , (2:04 to 2:09), the melody goes to that unstable 4th degree again. The arpeggiated harmony has a G natural (flat vi). Both of these tend to provide it a 'mysterious' quality, not knowing what comes next. What is this movie about? Is it going to be a sad theme?
What follows is a jolly theme. The flute is in its upper/brighter register and has a more 'jaunty' feeling to it, also thanks to the fast arpeggiation. The flute is played brilliantly in the original recording. The sample library in this reproduced cover version can only do so much. The original recording probably has a nylon guitar to play the arpeggiated harmony. Just for variety, that has been replaced with not-so-bright synths and celesta (pushed into the background in contrast with Flute)
A few bars down, at 2:27, you will notice a very familiar melody from one of the songs in this movie.
At 2:46, a new variation of the theme starts. In this cover version, it opens with a subdued synth percussion (you probably wont hear it much on laptop/phone speakers). In the original , it is also played by what might be synth drum patch, but ... let me just say I wish it had sounded differently :)
This version also ends with the familiar melody from the same song (3:10).
At 3:23 is a teaser of what is about to come - the main theme  (the original recording probably uses some kind of 'vox' synth and drum kit. The cover version replaces it with a more delicate sounding Chorus and Celsta and winds )

At 3:54 is the main theme (lets call it B), which is slightly different from the A theme we had looked at earlier. We are in the relative key of G# minor. This time, the Violas and Cellos dont just play a supporting harmony role, but rather supply a counterpoint. Although the Viola and Cello dont play the exact same notes, they can be considered together as the second voice playing countermelody. Especially observe 4:07 where they meander into what seems like a different key altogether (D locrian? C minor?) before returning back to G# minor. This is tension and release coming from the counterpoint
Next is a restatement of the theme. Just like in theme A, first two bars are identicial. Last two bars heighten the tension and release using the chromaticism in the melody, harmony borrowed from other scales, and an unstable ending
