Post by Sotiris »

Press Release: Walt Disney Records' newly created line of collectible CDs, Walt Disney Records The Legacy Collection, will celebrate the anniversaries of Disney's most cherished and classic properties that have been enchanting audiences for generations.

I love this, i just wish we'd get the complete score.
The Score to Lion King is amazing and not having the entire score has always been sad for me =')

I just really hope that this is somewhere in there. Hopefully...

But a part of me tells me that it won't. :(

Planning on getting:
Lion King
Little Mermaid
Sleeping Beauty
Pocahontas.

Wish they'd have:
Aladdin
Hunchback
Beauty and the Beast


Though this makes me wonder..
If they ever do release a Frozen (which I can see happening and if they were really smart, they'd have released it alongside the 3D blu-ray Crystal Edition), I can see them adding in the outtake songs that were sung by the original cast.


Either way, can't wait!!!!!!
And maybe we'll also get them on vinyl record :D

Very cool stuff. Not all of these are must-haves for me, but Fantasia, Poppins, and Disneyland are absolute no-brainers. Looking forward to these...

I'm so looking forward to it. I always wanted to have the complete score of The Little Mermaid.

I hope they add Beauty and the Beast in 2016, Aladdin and Snow White in 2017 in the collection.

Wow, this is nice. I actually don't have any of the soundtracks on CD, so I may start collecting these.

They should do a similar collector-oriented collection for Blu-ray.... lol.

Aww man, no 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. That's probably my most wanted, and its anniversary is this year.

Wow, now THIS is some pretty exciting news. I had a feeling the crazy success of the Frozen soundtrack would have them revisiting some older ones. A *little* disappointed they didn't just go ahead and make it the full score, but even so - it seems like a nice middle ground between "a few highlights" and "literally everything." I'm really surprised and impressed that they're going for a "collector's series" approach here.

I really, REALLY hope they end up going past the announced titles. Beauty and the Beast, Dumbo, Hunchback, Alice, Dumbo, Dalmatians, Great Mouse Detective, Fox and the Hound all have 5 year anniversaries in 2016. Would make a solid line-up.

Just give us all of them! :D

I'd be nice if we got the complete score or something like that.

Wow !

Finally, something worthwhile and interesting from the Disney Vault ! I only hope that the promised quality and new score / songs / artwork etc continue into every release, and they don't loose interest in them, like the Platinum / Diamond home releases.

super surprised Beauty and the Beast isn't part of the line
I'd love Hunchback too
I'm tempted by SB, TLM and probably Pocahontas too. I'd love to hear more of these. 'Farewell' on Pocahontas still gets me emotional.
It is criminal that Hans Zimmer's score for TLK hasn't been released in full yet.
Settling Soul mates? That is grim. And I've played Monopoly alone.

If they include it, that would be in 2016 to celebrate the anniversary, like all the others.

Yeah, I read the article on D23. :D This is pretty exciting news. I'm planning on getting The Lion King, Sleeping Beauty and The Little Mermaid. I really hope they'll include Beauty and the Beast, Snow White, The Hunchback of Notre-Dame and Frozen.

I wonder if the Walt era STs will have any bonus/previously unreleased material. The previously released ST CDs seemed pretty complete.

It's a little early for Frozen, though. But maybe we'll see in 2018. :wink:

I think it's a little soon for Tarzan, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's included come 2019 if Disney's still doing this. Along with Toy Story 2, maybe the Princess and the Frog, and, again, hopefully, 20,000 Leagues.
