Ah theres no need for this thread to get so negative (for these things have a tendency to spiral out of control!).
You may be right that some people often overlook animated scores, because of a preconception that they are somehow “kiddie”, or less worthy of their time than “proper” film scores. I would usually get the same reaction from people if I talk about my love of game scores, for example. But I doubt the majority of dedicated score lovers (especially the ones who frequent this board here) could be painted with the same brush as the average Joe on the street. People here can appreciate the work of a good composer, regardless of the medium they are working in.
Of course it would great if all our beloved animated scores were released, but sadly that will never likely be the case. Scores in general are a niche market (comparatively speaking!) and animated scores are niche even among score collectors. I for one am thankful for any the animated scores that we are blessed with.
Who among us honestly thought we’d ever see a day where we’d get a proper officially released album for Batman: the Animated Series, let alone two wondrous volumes? And only recently LaLaLand gifted us with the incredible Superman: The Animated Series as well! It really is a marvellous time to be a lover of music J
Like yourself Senn555, I would give my left nutsack for a release of the music from The Last Airbender (tv series), but I’m still flabbergasted that we even managed to get a score for The Legend of Korra (a lovely album that I listen to quite regularly!). Hopefully the success of that album (its my understanding it sold quite well) will encourage them to release a second volume, and maybe somewhere down the line we’ll get something to represent the original Team Avatar J
It’s also worth noting that the score in question in this topic IS getting a release, albeit in digital-only format, so at least that’s better than nothing. And in the future, digital releases may even become the norm. In fact, it could be that if things move over to purely digital releases, it might allow more specialised (ie: less traditionally profitable) scores to see the light of day. I’m loath to relinquish my hold on the physical CD, but eventually we’ll all have to move with the times!
I just thank my lucky stars for all the animated scores that have come our way in recent years and owe a huge debt of gratitude to all the hard working people in the various labels who help fuel my musical obsession.

Let's just settle down, calm down for a minute and talk about something potentially very serious.
You have TWO nutsacks?!

The big kicker for me, why I didn't buy the Intrada disc (and to this point, many of the Intrada/Disney releases that I'm somewhat interested in - including the newer Thor score, Lone Ranger, Toy Story 3), was the price. It's very difficult for me to justify paying "specialty label prices" ($20/disc) for what is, essentially, a blind buy. It's the kind of thing I reserve for something that I know for a fact I'll love - movies with scores I'm familiar with and already like, favorite composers. No number of glowing message board recommendations or 15-second sound clips are going to convince me to spend $20+shipping when there's a significant doubt that I'll get $20+shipping worth of enjoyment, however you would even quantify that. This would have likely been a quick blind purchase for me on Amazon for $9-$12 with free shipping, based solely on word of mouth.
I understand why the prices from boutique labels are what they are for , and I know it's a reality I have to accept - I pay those prices and I pay them often for things I care about; but my not purchasing certain titles will just have to be another reality for somebody else to accept - the one or two people who are currently crying because of that one extra copy of Tinkerbell that's sitting in a warehouse somewhere. I'm happy this is available on disc for those who care $20 worth, and while I'm sorry that it didn't sell well enough to justify producing the sequels on disc, I'm happy the music is available digitally for the new one

"Soos! The portable toilets are clogged again!"
If only I had your positive outlook, calmblueocean. It's a bit difficult to have that when you've made enemies who only care about putting you down because you're different and you're constantly surrounded by them.
I'll apologize for my initial comment about the situation being "disgusting". Yeah, I'm bitter because there's not nearly as many animated releases as I'd like there to be. I grew up on animation and that medium has always spoken to me more than live-action does, so to see things like Star Trek seemingly getting complete discography releases (a franchise I've hardly seen nor do I care much for... and am getting increasingly annoyed with because of everyone else obsessing over it - and I've seen all of the Nostalgia Critic Trek reviews and Into Darkness), along with Intrada's comments that DuckTales isn't a priority and that they have other things to release first, is all a bit more than frustrating to me. I do understand the numerous factors blocking such releases from happening though - from master tapes / agent issues with Shuki Levi / Haim Saban scores of the 80s to Hasbro / Disney / Nickelodeon not deeming such ventures as worth their time and money.
That, combined with this board's favoritism (my perception) over live-action and/or 1940s-1970s content that I've never seen, rarely venturing into newer material from the 90s and onward, has made me at odds with the tastes and preferences of most here.
I guess it'd be nice if more people would appreciate the medium I'm into, but I'm not interested in winning friends or favors here.

Just to make you fans of TINKER BELL tantalized, there are full-score composer promos of all four Tinker Bell videos. They are high-quality, very enjoyable scores, comparable to the Intrada release.
I enjoyed them so much that I went to the Public Library children's section and, one-by-one, I took each film out and watched them.
My semi-exasperated wife (who will "NOT watch a cartoon") rolled up her eyes and must have thought that I was going through my second childhood or something. But they were all enjoyable and well-supported by the score...and, at my age, I don't give a damn. smile

I'm curious, where did you find these promos? I didn't think they existed...I would love to hear them!

I was approached by someone liquidating the estate of a deceased producer (not in the USA) and I jumped at the chance. They were quite limited, from what I understand. Just a lucky happenstance for me.
