    Great behind-the-scenes material

    Chances are, if you're buying this you've already seen THE LION KING (1994), you like it, and you want to know the specifics of what's on this disc. Well, for one, this isn't *quite* the same version of the film that premiered in theaters. There's a new song ("The Morning Report") in this cut of the movie, and to be honest, it doesn't add a whole lot to the film. It's pretty harmless, but I really wish they'd included an option to watch the movie without it (like they did for the BEAUTY AND THE BEAST (1991) Platinum Edition). The real reason to get this DVD is for the bonus material. There are TONS of behind-the-scenes documentaries about the making of the film plus deleted scenes and music videos. If that's your thing, you'll love it.

    The Lion King Box Set

    One of the better attempts of the Disney Company's to try to recreate the magic that was once associated with the Disney name. This one has some delightful characters and VERY engaging music going for it, too. The animation, although not nearly the superior art form perfected by Walt Disney in his heyday, is above average compared to most modern cartoons. Still, it ofttimes looks as if it was created by a group of schoolchildren with a good computer program. The hero's name is Simba (a lion), and the movie follows his exploits from birth to adulthood. I wouldn't want to give away the ending here. I really don't have to. The title of the film did it for me. The primary storyline is taken directly out of a Japanese cartoon that I watched as a small child called "Kimba the White Lion." Aside from changing his fur color and first initial, many of the scenes are exact replicas of the original--albeit with much smoother animation (those old animes didn't have the computer technology that exists today) and catchy songs added. I enjoyed it enough to want it on DVD, though. If you are seeking original Disney-quality fare, look for the classics like Cinderella and Snow White. If you just want a movie to use as a cheap babysitter, little kids are bound to enjoy this one. It does have some violent segments in it, but not such a big deal compared to what gets onto regular TV these days.

  • One issue

    I love the movie, the only issue is that it takes forever to start playing. After every single preview for other movies it goes black and u have to stop the movie and push play about three times for it to come back on. I k ow its not my DVD player because its brand new and never done that before and still doesn't do it to other movies. Other than that once I can get to the play menu and able to push play its great. Just before the play menu.

  • Great for a Wide Range of Ages

    I've loved this movie since I was 12, when it first hit the theaters. I now run a small daycare and this is one of my favorite picks for movie time. It's emotional and deep enough to interest older children while the fun music keeps the 2 and 4 year olds engaged. It's one of the few movies that doesn't drive me nuts when the kids want to watch it over and over!!

  • The Lion King

    Classic Disney movie that is not available through normal streaming outlets. You pretty much have to purchase or borrow to view it. If you haven't seen this movie, you need to. Cultural icon. Platinum Edition contains unnecessary items but some people will enjoy them. I just wanted to watch the movie.

  • Disc problems, swapped it for another movie

    I was told the Lion King DVD had some issues, maybe scratches, but I swapped it for Bad Boys 2 on DVD which works fine. I haven't tested the whole movie

  • Okay

    It takes too long to get to the movie it stays pitch black til I press fast forward, and if I press menu on my remote it’ll take me to the menu, but when I select the option “play movie” it won’t play, it’ll take me to something else so I have to press scene selection and start it from there. Other than that the whole movie played well.

  • Fine

    Not the best quality CD, had a bad spot right out of the box and couldn't get past it. Also, it boasts games, but we could only find one interactive video which might be considered a game. It is very similar to Jungle Book but not as good.

  • Lion king trilogy

    The Lion King and Lion King 2 are great and we love watching them. Lion King 1/2 stops half way through and will not play, we are not able to watch it. Very disappointed in this product. Don't know how to replace it.

  • English version has great animation

    Did not know this disc was also in French. It was a gift for my grandkids so I hope it plays in English, as well.
