Without at least 30 minutes of Han Zimmer's score, the "Best of the Lion King" CD isn't good enough.

The French trilogy box set (DVD)

^The red theme works so well with TLK (as would teal).

But at least with the blu-ray they are sticking with the original color theme.

I don't think this needs a new thread so I'll just post it here.

This is a song off of some Pokemon CD...anyway it's been mixed to pay homage to the Villains of The Lion King

Am I the only one who wishes the Trilogy would be released NOT in combo form? (or at least also release a non-combo Blu-ray edition)? All the extra discs are making the price uncomfortably high. They have a DVD-only trilogy being released so I would also like a Blu-ray only trilogy release as well as I don't want or need the DVDs. (and for the love of God, keep the 3D version out as well as I REALLY don't want or need that. That alone is making the price high. Don't even get me started on that digital copy disc as well.) Of the 8 discs, I'm only going to be using 3 of them!!!

^Trust me; very few combo packs actually cost much more than a standalone edition. The price wouldnt change much for this.

Edit: forgot the 3D version, but even that's a few dollars at best.

I agree with you on this, yet I do prefer to have combo discs. In case of portability, I would use the DVDs or if kids would want to play the film in another room with only a dvd player. So combo packs do have advantages... BUT WHY MUST IT BE SO EXPENSIVE?!

If it's anything to blame, it should be Blu-rays, DVDs Laserdiscs and VHS that ended or decreased the cinema re-releases. Disney knew people would rather own a copy of the film at home than seeing it again and again in theaters, so they go what the public wants.

an 8 disc to 3 disc difference wouldn't change the price that much?

I still think we should get seperate release for Simba's Pride/ 1.5, can't wait for this release, gave mom my platinum edition of Lion King/Simba's Pride/ 1.5, she was very greatful haha.

No it wouldnt. Blu-rays and Combo Packs arent that different in price. And for comparison, just look at the Blu-ray only LOTR Extended Edition trilogy. That's 1...........never mind. bad example.

Wow I was two when this movie came out. What blows my mind is that they can gather don hann and the animators or a historian to create a "making of" documentary but they won't. If they can do it for Bambi and Snow White, they can do it for Lion King.

Maybe LK just needs another 2-3 years before qualifying for a documentary.

I just got back from a 3D presentation of "The Lion King" and it was stunning. Since my guess is that this new theatrical version will be the one featured on the Blu-ray/new DVD, here's what you can expect come October:

- the touch-ups made for the IMAX version have not been corrected/returned to the original state, so the re-animated waterfall and crocodiles are still present
- scrolling end credits are back, and -- the best part --
- "Morning Report" is out (or at least it won't be featured in the default version of the film)

If you guys want to know anything else, ask away!

Just to throw some doubt around, the 3D version of Beauty and the Beast was not the same as the DE version. Thanks though!

Never knew it even had scrolling credits.

aw man that's a bummer, really liked Morn Report. unless you meant the scene won't be in the "orignal" version then its all good

this'll be a great aniv. gift for my fiancee.... once a while she'll ask me what are the new bonuses for the D.E

What can we expect pic wise Mooky? is the restoration bet'ter, what sections did they put in 3d??
