    So, going on, I was thinking of all the different composers who have created original scores for Disney attractions. (i.e. Randy Newman for Buzz Lightyear does not count) Let's see...

    Sherman Bros. did "It's a Small World", "Adventure Thru Inner Space" and "Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh" (the score for Disneyland's is supposedly new). X. Atencio did Pirates and HM.

    Let's see, moving on to Epcot, many names come across. Bruce Broughton did a lot here, including Ellen's Energy Adventure and HISTA, as well as the Timekeeper over at yester-Magic Kingdom. Jerry Goldsmith composed Soarin', and once again the Sherman Bros. for Imagination. Robert Lopez of Avenue Q fame also gets credit for "Big Blue World" in the new Nemo attraction. And, last but not least, famous composer David Newman created the score of Cranium Command.

    And that's about it for now (Epcot, aformentioned, was the big one)...any others that you can think of?...

    Buddy Baker wrote the score for Haunted Mansion, again with X. doing the lyrics.

    Buddy Baker also wrote "If You Had Wings" for Magic Kingdom.

    Sherman Bros also did both versions of the Carousel of Progress ("Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow" & "Now is the Time").
