Yes, I've noticed the "musical signature" from FRESH AIRE II used a
bit, you might also notice the use of extended final cadences at the
ends of pieces using a major flat 6 chord moving to major flat 7
then resolving to the (major) I or tonic final chord. Also used in
the middle of one of the Disney pieces.

I remember it was used at the End of "WHITE CHRISTMAS", if I"m not
mistaken.
