Addition #2 Neal Acree - The Revelation (Game Soundtrack) (Varese) Neal Acree & Michael Tuller - The Animal World (Velvet Machine Records) (composer's own label)
If international co-production is included, then animations like Wish Dragon (Phllip Klein), Over the Moon (Steven Price), The Abominable (Rupert Gregson-Williams) and Animal Crackers (Bear McCreary) all have their soundtracks released by US labels.
Steffen Thum & Lorne Balfe - Standing Up (14th Street Music) (Balfe's own label) Andrew Kawczynski - Sky Hunter (probably by composer's own release as well, the label is not specified)
