Now, knowing this will probably eventually get done anyway, I'm going to go ahead and suggest this one regardless. Having recently watched the film for the first time in fourteen years, and then matching it against the already-released CD, I have to say I am very disappointed so little of Hans Zimmer's score has been released. I hope in the future this changes.

I went to go see it at the 3D re-release, and I agree, there's so much great stuff missing off the album. Particularly the film version of the stampede sequence. Definite day one buy if or when a label decides to do a complete album.

Thankfully the prospect of this is so much brighter now than when I wrote that post.

My only "holy grail", whose every nanosecond I'd love to own on CD!

Interesting. There seems to be even more material than is present in the final film, in that tracklist - I don't recall the "Scar, We're Hungry" scene having any music, for example.

The entire score is a must-have, but "Kings Of The Past", the original unedited version of "...To Die For", "Reunion" and "The Return/King Of Pride Rock" are my top wanted cues. The battle version of the Simba/Mufasa theme playing during the final combat is some of the best scoring ever done by Zimmer, IMO.

Fingers crossed that the much-awaited announcement over here isn't too far.

Intrada is the label with the most prospective future right now. I relish the thought of what Disney titles might be released in the future.

I have no doubt The Lion King will be one of them, and that it will be released sooner rather than later.

I've been working on this in my spare time for a few days now. This is an analysis of the score to The Lion King. It's not complete, owing to the fact that I have no clue as to what else might be in the actual sessions themselves beyond what has been rumoured, spread around and used in the film itself.

That's certainly possible - we created an online petition requesting Disney for the release of this score, and I promoted it in just about every Lion King, Hans Zimmer and film-music related site I could find on the Internet a few years ago.
