I recall Intrada saying they tried to do Mulan but I don't remember them commenting on Rescuers.
Rescuers did well at the box office so it's one of Disneys little darlings. The Rescuers Down Under bombed along with The Black Caldron so I can see why they would pass them onto Intrada. I suspect The Great Mouse Detective would be an Intrada release also. It's another film Disney has swept under the rug.
Here’s Roger’s quote on Rescuers from the link included in my previous post:
I had asked about The Rescuers, but Disney wanted to retain that one for their own (potential) plans.

I'm pretty sure Disney didn't want anyone stepping on their brand new release of the live-action Mulan (even though it's shown that tie-in material like this snowballs interest in related properties).
I wouldn't be surprised if Disney had a photo-realistic remake of The Rescuers in mind, at this rate.

I know thats on nobodys mind..but imagine a crisp...full stereo...newly recorded BAMBI by Tadlow...
I consider BAMBI as being one of the most sophisticated works in filmscoring.
Second wish would be a rerecording of PETER PAN.
All of the vintage Disney scores need to be (and could be) re-recorded. There have been okay re-recordings of Disney music before, but to my knowledge none of them were complete or faithful enough to truly replace the original recordings. Disney has literal thousands of original composer manuscripts/sketches all the way back to SNOW WHITE and I don't know why they haven't done anything with them. Lost scores like PETER PAN and ALICE really deserve a second chance on CD.
I think part of the problem as to why Disney hasn’t bothered re-recording the early scores is concerns about finding singers that sound close to the vocalists in their respective films, although this is a non-issue as far as Bambi is concerned since none of the songs are sung by any of the principle characters. That said, re-recordings for scores that mostly exist from MFX tracks like the last two scores you mentioned would be beneficial.

Just noticed since Ive been spinning Disney soundtracks lately, Bruns basically lifted his climatic music from the end of Sleeping Beauty when the Prince was fighting the dragon and re-orchestrated it for the climatic ending of Robin Hood when Robin was chased up the tower and jumps into the water and presumably dead.
He also uses a variant of this music in the Wizards duel scene in Sword in the Stone when Madam Mim turns into a purple dragon, though I think that may have been done as a parody of the climax of that earlier film.

I know that it's low on the Disney most wanted list, but I'd kill for the release of Oliver Wallace's score to Darby O'Gill And The Little People!

I would love a release of Darby O'Gill, though I think that might be more Intrada's territory since the Legacy Collection hasn't done any of the live-action films with the exception of Mary Poppins.

I agree, evident by Intrada's recent release of Return From Witch Mountain.
Don't forget about their release of Johnny Tremain.

Besides "The Jungle Book" I really would appreciate releases with music from the classic cartoons. The music alone works fine on FSM's "Tom & Jerry" and Warner Bros.' "Stalling Project". I'd really like to have some of Wallace's, Bruns', Dubin's and Smith's music, especially "Tea for two hundred". That's a funny thing! Disney did it with the "Silly Symphonies" and the cartoons could be the next step. Mickey, Donald and Co. are legends and legacies as well!
