In Music in Disney's Animated Features James Bohn investigates how
music functions in Disney animated films and identifies several
vanguard techniques used in them. In addition he also presents a
history of music in Disney animated films, as well as biographical
information on several of the Walt Disney Studios' seminal
composers. The popularity and critical acclaim of Disney animated
features truly is built as much on music as it is on animation.
Beginning with Steamboat Willie and continuing through all of the
animated features created under Disney's personal supervision,
music was the organizing element of Disney's animation. Songs
establish character, aid in narrative, and fashion the backbone of
the Studios' movies from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs through
The Jungle Book and beyond. Bohn underscores these points while
presenting a detailed history of music in Disney's animated films.
The book includes research done at the Walt Disney Archives as well
as materials gathered from numerous other facilities. In his
research of the Studios' notable composers, Bohn includes
perspectives from family members, thus lending a personal dimension
to his presentation of the magical Studios' musical history. The
volume's numerous musical examples demonstrate techniques used
throughout the Studios' animated classics.
