I've been working on piano arrangements of various instrumental cues from Alan Menken's score for The Little Mermaid, and I wanted to take the opportunity to share these with you all! So far I've done the 7 main cues from the soundtrack. Having studied Alan Menken's music for many years, I felt that...

I bet some of you are familiar with this Youtube account already " Disney Ashman Demos: An Ashman & Menken Archive ". There's something new which surfaced just a few days ago - a work tape of Alan Menken and Howard Ashman composing Silence is Golden (the first iteration of Ursula's son...

Fantastic job on this, Jules! Thanks for sharing :) And the first video is up! Here is my rendition of the music from Bedknobs and Broomsticks , featuring "The Beautiful Briny", "The Age of Not Believing" and "Substitutiary Locomotion." Enjoy! https://youtu.be/qs2Jc6K7l...

The scorebook came crazy fast, it was here Wednesday night. It came with a little glass slipper pendant type thing, cute. :) I haven't read the foreword yet--I'll do that sometime today now I'm off--I really only skimmed and played "The Dress That My Mother Wore" the night it came since I...

Confirmed :) It's in there! Yay! Where I work's currently having layoffs. If I survive, then I'll definitely buy this. I didn't know SW had one of these, too. Does anyone have a link or is it no longer available? TBH, I wouldn't mind having these for most WDAS films since I do play piano. Of course...

Hopefully it includes "The Dress My Mother Wore" since it mentions deleted songs. $100 is a lot, but I'd like to have it for sure. Confirmed :) It's in there! The price is a little high, when you see the extent of detail that was required in order to make it, I believe the price is justif...

There's a fantastic book that was published just last month: Walt Disney’s Cinderella in Full Score Whether you're interested in studying the full orchestral scores of this iconic Disney soundtrack in depth, or even if you simply love the film and wish to learn more about it's history, this is a rar...

Does anyone know if video (or audio) from The Little Mermaid On Ice is available online somewhere? I did see a clip on YouTube quite a while back featuring Vanessa's character and there was some really incredible music (they actually did an orchestra recorded version of Silence is Golden - the cut s...

Calling all Hocus Pocus fans! This book was just released this month and is a wealth of behind-the-scenes knowledge about the movie :) Witches Run Amok: The Oral History of Disney's Hocus Pocus, by: Shannon Carlin https://books.disney.com/book/witches-run-amok/ https://books.disney.com/content/uploa...

I know this one doesn't fall into the "poster" category, but would anyone happen to have a hi-res version of Sorcerer Mickey from the Walt Disney Home Video logo??

It's really hard to say with this line! There's no consistency to the release schedule. 2014: 4 titles 2015: 8 titles 2017: 1 title 2018: 1 title 2021: 1 title 2022: 1 title As you can see there are sometimes long gaps of up to 3 years, but time and time again, Disney has shown us that they haven't ...

I love this "Evolution of" series on the Youtube account "justyourvoice".. it's amazing to see so many different iterations of these scenes and how they evolved over time from various workprints to final :) https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL67bHMInhk9WLI_pzWfYw338nODJIksif ...

Thank you so much Vlad Sicoe!! I love some of the new textless artwork you've found from the early 1990's VHS's of Pinocchio and The Jungle Book Thanks for sharing these with us! Where on earth do you find these

Thank you

I tried many, many times as well. Different credit cards, PayPal... shipping addresses both in/out of the US. I gave up eventually! Because every time a transaction goes through, it can take 1 month or more until the funds are released from hold by the credit card company / PayPal. Their customer se...

Great question! I would say... Snow White The Little Mermaid Pinocchio Honorable mention... The Jungle Book (1967). Such an iconic melody! Actually, not all of you may have listened to this before but the Main Titles for Pinocchio are beautiful without the narration/choir as well: https://youtu.be/4...

I'm sort of confused? Is this simply a complete score release or are they re-doing the whole soundtrack? :? It's a printed orchestral score of the entire film, all of the songs as well as instrumental sequences :) There are some sample images on their site to give you an idea. Until now, only piano...

To any of you who are Disney music lovers (and particularly those who love Alan Menken's incredible scores) Omni Music Publishing is now taking orders for Tangled as a complete orchestral study score! To my knowledge, this is the first time Disney has licensed a complete orchestral film score to be ...

Alan Menken spoke out about the Don't Say Gay bill on social media and posted the following article referencing Howard Ashman. It's nice to see prominent names in the Disney sphere coming out publicly and putting pressure on the company to change their stance. What would the Walt Disney Company be, ...

If anyone is interested in doing a deep dive into the musical score, melodic themes and composition style of Alan Menken's score for The Little Mermaid, this podcast is a must

There's always the feedback form people can fill out :wink: I have put a request in for a Legacy Collection release of Aladdin a few times! Here's hoping :) I feel like the sudden revival of The Legacy Collection for the release of Hunchback was because of enthusiasm from fans. So many time on socia...
