The Disney Song Encyclopedia

I added another book to my ever-growing collection - The Disney Song Encyclopedia (Harback: 350 pages). I'm a sucker for reference books, so when I saw that this title was available I knew I'd need to pick up a copy.

I've just begun to make my way through it's pages, but so far it doesn't disappoint. This book contains every single song used in a Disney production, (shorts, full-length animated, live action, theme park and Broadway shows from 1930 to present day - at least I assume it's every single song. I'm going to have to take the authors word on that one.) Songs, of course, are listed in alphabetical order with each entry containing notes about who wrote the music and lyrics, where the song appeared (some songs have been used multiple times) and any historical notes behind the song.

But, it doesn't stop there. The back of the book is loaded with appendices:

Appendix A: Alternate Song Titles

Appendix B: Song Writers Directory

Appendix C: Sources and Songs

Appendix D: Guide To Recordings, Videos And DVDs

Appendix E: Academy Awards For Disney Songs and Scores
