It's official; Robin Hood is now available -- and I finally have my grubby mitts on it!
By the by, has anyone heard news concerning future Legacy Collections? I know there have been rumors floating around about some potential releases, such as "Beauty and the Beast" or "Snow White", but I'm hoping for some concrete announcements. More unreleased scores would be particularly delightful. "The Rescuers" and "Ichabod and Mr. Toad" are two very underrated scores I'd like to see on CD. I don't however expect a "Sword in the Stone" Legacy Collection any time soon, considering the past two Legacy releases have been Bruns scores as well.

I don't however expect a "Sword in the Stone" Legacy Collection any time soon, considering the past two have both been Bruns scores as well. It was surprising enough that we saw two of them in a row; a hat trick isn't likely.
Current speculation seems to indicate that Beauty and the Beast will be next in the collection, as confirmed by a member of this forum.

I don't know which will be next and I never said that B&B was next.

Sorry for misinterpreting your response in the other thread.

I'm surprised how much thematic material exists here, because I remember an awful lot of Mickey Mousey music. Which oddly enough appears mostly during the last quarter of the score.
As was I. Bruns' scores, though still delightful as ever, have a tendency to mimic action rather than actually express anything emotionally. "Robin Hood" was a pleasant surprise in that respect, what with the many recurring tunes and leitmotifs. I think the best example of a score of his that suffers from the aforementioned constant Mickey Mousing would be "The Aristocats," which only boasts two recurring themes of any sort that I can recall. It's not always a con, but can certainly sound a bit scattered and "un-unified" at times, if that makes sense.
I'm not sure if "The Jungle Book" is a case of this though, as that's the one animated Bruns score I do not own/have listened to extensively in some form.
Jungle book does have some of it, but it also draws from the Sherman Bros. Song melodies and the Serengeti music he composed for the world's Fair.

A question about the Legacy release (which is, regardless, absolutely fantastic).
In almost all foreign language, dubbed versions, the song "Love" begins with a small, very "George Bruns", orchestral intro.
Here (French dub) from 0'00 to 0'004 :
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cCCUWu2NEsM
Same in the italian dub, etc... :
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rLzjQO9RApM
That intro is not heard on the movie's original English language track (DVD or Blu-ray) but those soundtracks have been so manipulated (remaster after remaster) that it's impossible to say if it was there originally and altered by mistake in a later remaster.
Foreign dubs have been, generally, less altered as the separate elements (voices, effects, music) do not exist any longer.
That instrumental intro is not on the Legacy release.
Does anybody have any clue about the whole thing ?

As a kid it completely went over my head Robin just got laid. Enter cave at night, exit cave by morning. Even the lyrics are naughty, “All grown up inside of me”.
Oh by the way, interesting bit about the intro music.
