Disney Music Genre

Disney music deserves it’s own genre, primarily because they helped define the movie music we love, with an unnerving ability to remain catchy and relevant far after their movies have left the theater.

Beyond the music of movies, Disney consistently creates tunes we want to sing and share, driving them to create their own music group as well as reap bilions from licensing and distribution deals.

From Wikipedia:

Buena Vista Records, a label largely devoted to authentic soundtrack albums of mostly live-action Disney film musicals, such as Mary Poppins, The Happiest Millionaire, Summer Magic, and Babes in Toyland, as well as recordings by actors then under contract to Disney, such as Annette Funicello and Hayley Mills. Often, at the same time that Buena Vista Records released a genuine soundtrack album of one of the Disney movies, Disneyland Records, another, less expensive Disney label, would release a cover version of the songs from that film. The label was later absorbed by Walt Disney Records. It is still active today and releases various content such as Baby Einstein and karaoke CDs; it also has some recording artists. Most recently it has been employed to serve as the record label for Marvel Studios’ releases such as Thor and Captain America: The First Avenger.
