The only explanation I could think of was that, since Disney sold so badly with this title, I just thought they might have decided to give it longer to see if they can sell it so more...
Isn't the Lion King supposed to be Out-of-Print by now?

Sorry if this was already discussed, I thought the Platinum Editions were supposed to be released around October and then be discontinued (6 minutes to think of this word...
) by the end of January. Why is The Lion King still here?

Lion King will be out of print(OOP) in Jan 2005 because Disney wants the media to buy Lion King 2: Simba's Pride and Lion King 1 1/2 to have the whole triology along with Lion King.Sorry if this was already discussed, I thought the Platinum Editions were supposed to be released around October and then be discontinued (6 minutes to think of this word... ) by the end of January.

IMO just put them OOP as soon as possible.

I guess Disney wants to see how much money they can make off the Platnium Edition of TLK. That and I guess they want people to have all three movies or something. I was a little mad that Sleeping Beauty went back into the vault so soon but at least I got it. Sleeping Beauty is my ALL-TIME favorite classic Disney movie. As a kid every time my dad would take me to a video rental place to get a movie they only movie I'd watch would be Sleeping Beauty.

No. The lion king will be on sale for 2 years. This was announced with the platinum increased frequency announcement.

Yeah -- because of the revised Platinum schedule, the 14 titles are now on the 7-year rotation cycle. Two titles will be released per year starting in 2005, stay on the market for 2 years and then be vaulted for five years. The 2-per-year hasn't started yet, but leaving them on the market was effective immidately.
