Walt Disney Records: The Legacy Collection

Walt Disney Records The Legacy Collection, The Lion King two disc set will be available June 24th.​

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. Through 2015, Walt Disney Records will celebrate 12 anniversaries including “Pinocchio†(75th), “Fantasia†(75th), “Cinderella†(65th), “Lady and the Tramp†(60th), “Sleeping Beauty†(55th), “Mary Poppins†(50th), “The Lion King†(20th) and “Toy Story†(20th), among others.


To honor these musical landmarks, Walt Disney Records The Legacy Collection will feature the beloved original soundtracks, plus valuable documentary content that tells the story behind the music. Each album will feature newly created artwork from Lorelay Bove, a visual development artist at Walt Disney Animation Studios (“Tangled,†“Winnie the Pooh,†“Wreck-It Ralphâ€). The illustrations, inspired by the original properties, will celebrate Disney’s rich heritage and create a unified look for the entire collection.


The first release in the series is The Lion King, a two-disc set featuring the original motion picture soundtrack, 30 minutes of previously unreleased score, plus liner notes by Don Hahn (producer) and Oscar-winning composer Hans Zimmer.


Members of D23: The Official Disney Fan Club will get a chance to hear some of the music before it's released during the D23 Fanniversary Celebration roadshow, which will tour the country later this year, and D23 Members have the opportunity to purchase the complete collection with a special set of exclusive lithographs at a special price.
