Before The Little Mermaid did they include the score at all? I think it's a good approach.

I made my own CD of Frozen with the songs and score in chronological order. I might do the same for Moana, but I actually kind of think the album plays well as it is, for once.

Before The Little Mermaid did they include the score at all? I think it's a good approach. I don't know about the other pre-Little Mermaid scores, but Sleeping Beauty's original soundtrack album (which can be found on ITunes) included excerpts from the scores interspersed with the songs, some of which did not make it onto its expanded presentation.

My daughter introduced me to Moana over the weekend, and I've been enjoying the album a lot with the songs and score separated. I find it helps to have them separated, so I can be in one mode (enjoying songs) and then the other (underscore). Or just pick one or the other, if I want a briefer taste. I've never had an issue with this approach, think it actually tends to be a better solution than long patches of instrumental music with songs here and there. Rhino's Gigi is an example that I found works less well, though I don't hold it against them for presenting that way. You're enjoying the music, and then Maurice comes in and then he's gone and then he's back a little and gone.....distracting, as it wouldn't be in the film. But then, I am one of the partisans for a good album presentation rather than something more like the music as presented in the movie.

These film scores are basically musicals, so I never liked the separation either. There is no flow to these albums and they feel disjointed. I much prefer the type of presentation done for THE NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS soundtrack in such cases, that was really done well (including Patrick Stewart's narration). The Disney Legacy Collections are therefore better presentations of at least some of these scores (like THE LITTLE MERMAID).
