Walt Disney Records has released Disney's Christopher Robin Original Motion Picture digital soundtrack (release date: August 3).

The score features music by Emmy® Award-winning Geoff Zanelli ("Into the West," "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales") and Grammy®-nominated composer Jon Brion ("Lady Bird," "Trainwreck"). Disney's "Christopher Robin" has been in theaters nationwide from August 3.

Disney legend Richard M. Shermanwrote both the music and lyrics for the three new songs which appear in the film. The song "Goodbye, Farewell," which is performed by Winnie the Pooh and friends from the Hundred Acre Wood, can be heard in the opening scene. "Busy Doing Nothing" and "Christopher Robin" are both performed by Richard Sherman himself and appear in the end credits.

"Winnie the Pooh became a dear friend of mine when Walt gave us the assignment to write songs for the first Winnie the Pooh short film," says Sherman, "and here, so many years later, it is very special to be back in the Hundred Acre Wood again."

The lyric video for "Goodbye, Farewell" featuring Winnie the Pooh and friends can be viewed BELOW.

The two-time Oscar® winning composer and his late brother, Robert B. Sherman, who passed away in 2012, wrote the music and lyrics for the majority of the animated films featuring Winnie the Pooh and his friends distributed by Disney ("Winnie the Pooh and the Honey Tree," "Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day" and "Winnie the Pooh and Tigger Too," among numerous others). They also wrote scores for such iconic Disney films as "The Jungle Book" and "Mary Poppins."
