Earlier this year, Walt Disney Records recognized the milestone anniversaries of a dozen of its animated movies with The Legacy Collection; a series of special edition soundtracks presented with exclusive new content and artwork. Now, Disney is wrapping all 12 special editions into The Legacy Collection Box Set and to celebrate the release, Walt Disney Records will be offering special discounts on the box set on disneymusicemporium.com.

The CD collection includes classic songs, background scores and rare recordings–plus music from Disneyland Park. In addition to remastered tracks, each album in Walt Disney Records The Legacy Collection Box Set comes in its own hardcover book, filled with art treasures, exclusive essays, and new illustrations by Lorelay Bove, a visual development artist at Walt Disney Animation Studios. Bove was recently named one of ’10 Animators to Watch’ by Variety.
