The Lion King 2 : Simba's Pride

[mikovich]

I'm really confused about the release dates u have here at Ultimatedisney...

According to you "Simba's Pride" isn't supposed to hit shelves until August, and yet I saw it in stores here in Denmark just yesterday...

Guess were just lucky getting it 2 months earlier...

There is an existing (and in many places out of print) version of Simba's Pride in most countries - perhaps this is the one you saw?

The one coming out in August in the US is a new SE 2-disc.

Alternatively, the new disc is coming out as a SINGLE disc in many countries much earlier than the US. Australia is getting a single disc version next month, for example, and the UK is getting it in 2 weeks. Perhaps the one you saw is the new single disc version. Denmark seems to get things around the same time as us or the UK (give or take a month).

So my guess is that you saw the original OOP version or yours has just come early like most of Europe, the UK and Australia.

Hope this helps.

The new single disc version was released last week in the Scandinavian countries.

Release dates at Ultimate Disney are normally for the North American (region 1) versions. In other countries, the dates can be quite different.

The release date of the Lion King 2 dvd in Denmark is June 16, 2004. There is more information about it here at the Disney Database.

The R2 releases actually are quite the same as the R1 release... The only thing missing is the Virtual Safari and Rafiki's Challenge Game.

Yep... thats the one I saw... didn't notice it was a single disc version tho... does anyone know wether we get the 2-disc version in denmark and the rest of scandinavia?

Nope, only a 1-disc dvd. This because the Virtual Safari and Rafiki's Challenge game are not included... Rafiki's Challange game was a replacement of the Millionare game on the LK 3 dvd in R2. I'm not sure why they didn't include the Virtual Safari though...
