I know that there have been books of sheet music published for certain Disney animated movies (The Little Mermaid, Beauty And The Beast, Aladdin) that contain all the songs from those movies. However, there are some other Disney animated movies that I would like to get the sheet music for. These titles are Snow White, Dumbo, Bambi, Peter Pan, Alice In Wonderland and Oliver And Company. Now I know that there are books of sheet music for Disney movies that include some (but not all) of the songs from those movies (like “The New Illustrated Treasury of Disney Songs” and “The Disney Fake Book”). However, I would like to know if there were any books published solely for the films I named that contain sheet music for all the songs in the movie and maybe even the instrumental pieces. I've looked for them on ebay and Amazon and did find a few (Alice In Wonderland https://www.amazon.com/Alice-Wonderland ... and+guitar Peter Pan https://www.amazon.com/Peter-Piano-Voca ... Src=detail Snow White http://www.ebay.com/itm/SNOW-WHITE-SONG ... jR10BGnZmA and Oliver And Company https://www.amazon.com/Disney-Pictures- ... pany+piano).
However, Amazon doesn't give me the option to look inside the book so I can't how see how easy or complex the music is.
So, can anybody tell me of there ever was any sheet music books published for the films I mentioned that I couldn't find any books for and, if anybody owns the books I provided links for, what skill level are they written for?
Thank you.

Re: Sheet music books for Disney animated movies?
I have the Oliver one but I don't remember if it has the instrumental stuff(I don't think it does.)
I also have for Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, Lion King, Pocahontas, Hercules and Mulan.
I cant remember if i have the Hunchback and Tarzan ones(I have them stored in a cabinet and its been a while since Ive looked at them). I bought these some time after their films came out. I actually dont play instruments, I just think the ones with all the film stills make for nice movie collectables.
Do they still even make these? I wonder if they have any for Frozen and Moana?

Re: Sheet music books for Disney animated movies?
From just a quick Google Amazon search, both Frozen & Moana come in "Easy Piano" books (which 1 reviewer said are more like 4th-year piano level). I play clarinet, so I have a bunch of the music books- Frozen is included in a book with Tangled & Enchanted.unprincess wrote: Do they still even make these?

As far as complexity, they're not elaborate Beethoven symphonies, and they're not for brand-new players. I think a really good 2nd year player could play them, but otherwise a 3rd/4th year.
None of the piano or clarinet books I own contain any of the instrumental score sheet music.
But, with the Internet, I bet you could download some single-song sheet music for at least some score music.
Some of the songs are easier than others. Just cracking open a couple books, some songs are super-easy ("Once Upon a Dream"), while others aren't complex, but not for a beginner: "Can You Feel the Love Tonight" & "Circle of Life" are below.
*edit* - I took photos of the music book pages, but the forum says "It was not possible to determine the dimensions of the image." I guess a Google image search might be your friend to see the complexity of the songs...
