I believe it was on sale or at a discounted price at one point, before its time for sure, so unfortunately I don't think it did too well. It may preclude further Disney titles from that era, Bruns or not. Hopefully it doesn't of course. I thought JT was great.

What happens with remaining copies of a title like this when the ‘Sept 1’ date is reached?

I'm still hoping for Brunner's scores for "Blackbeard's Ghost" and "Lt. Robin Crusoe, U.S.N.". Two of my favorit Disney live action movies with a lot of funny music. And of course: Brun's and De Vol's scores for the first three Herbie- movies. Come on Intrada! Get cracking!

I don't think he ever came home. I believe he went pub crawl with Bill Bailey.

Does this, Novel, film or score have any connection to the song 'When Johnny Comes Marching Home'
I've often wondered ?
Methinks no, Leo.
Never saw the movie, but Johnny Tremain is a fictional character created in 1943 for a novel set during the American Revolution.
The origins of the song "When Johnny Comes Marching Home" come from 1863 during the American Civil War, and refer to Union servicemen returning to family/friends.
... and - no - Johnny Tremain is not Johnny T. Williams. 
In any event, Johnny Tremain marched out of Intrada's mailroom stocks due to lack of consumer interest.

Really? It’s too bad because I had been interested in it and they were so quick to pull it. I seem to recall it being “sold out” very quickly between the time I saw it posted and when I was going to purchase it.
George Bruns is always interesting and represents a really classic part of Disney music. Yes this score is a bit hoary because of the film’s equally hoary subject matter of a romanticized Revolutionary War story which was a trend back in the 1950s likely thanks to the patriotic war stories of World War Two and the subsequent hunger for more “American Heroism stories” (hence the popularity of the Western and WWII films). But the music was still entertaining and had a lot of techniques to study thanks to Bruns’ experience with some of the best classic Disney animated films which spanned a wide range of comedic to classical/ballet interpretations. A really underrated composer.
It kind of seems like Intrada expected this to fail, saw low sales numbers and engagement on discussion boards and pulled it too soon. What a waste!
