The end-of-year theatrical releases continue with “Mufasa: The Lion King”. SoS has been working on this film throughout the last year, providing music transcription for localization.

Our work began almost a year ago, transcribing small sections of character performances to create sheet music used by language territories to cast local voice actors. During postproduction the work continued, transcribing full versions of the songs and updating those transcriptions whenever edits to the film affected the vocals. The amount of music and number of characters in the film made this no small task.

“Mufasa: The Lion King” is in theaters worldwide December 20.

Moana 2, the most recent SoS transcription project, has released in theaters. As with the first film in 2016, Symbols of Sound worked with Disney Character Voices International to transcribe the vocal performances and create sheet music for localization of the film into 45 languages.

Along with the common slate of languages, Moana 2 is dubbed into both Māori and soon Hawaiian. The Māori version is being released in New Zealand simultaneously with the English version. The Hawaiian version, to be dubbed later, is planned to feature Auliʻi Cravalho, who plays Moana in the English version.
