I'm not that surprised. At the most (although "WWTBAM" is a British concept) Disney (through ABC) only own the US rights. The show has been sucessfully licenced to different companies all over the world, so it must be a rights nightmare.

At the least, they've shot it with the American host, so the 'joke' is unlikely to play so well in other countries.
Most of my Blu-ray collection some of my UK discs aren't on their database

Thanks, Joe Carioca! I see the Almighty Rafiki is featured on the back. I may possibly have to pick this up now (not that I wouldn't have anyways, especially after MMBoy's informative review :P :D

Glad to see they replaced that "All-New Movie" heading in bold letters with something smaller and different. That heading just made it look like a GoodTimes release.

That's cool! Have fun watching it. I'm sure Timon and Pumbaa will be really funny in this movie. The trailers look hillarious. I read that the brochure packet contains information and artwork on Simba's Pride, Special Edition.

It looks like everyone will be getting The Lion King 1 1/2 before I will. My brother ordered the DVD from DisneyStore.com last week. I don't know when it will arrive though.
