Ew, the "the" looks terribly out of place.

Hm, seems like its the same font as the Bambi DE.

Well, I guess it's kinda cool that these two movies, which are often argued to be the same story, have mirroring coverart.

Well it's a massive improvement. Even the blure border is better than silver, but the sideways title, while slightly original and catches the eye, is not desirable. Do slanted titles, Disney.

I guess I've gotten used to the cover because it doesn't seem as replusive as before, but I still think that cover wouldn't appeal to me if I just saw it on a store shelf planning to make a blind buy.

But I guess Disney's relying on the reputation of this film to make it sell, which is okay, but would have been better if they had designed a cover to match said reputation.

The 3D blu ray should have an orange cover.

Do we know already if the new Diamond edition of The Lion King include only one blu ray disc like Bambi or two like Snow White and BATB?

If it's two discs, then from what I read, the 3D version will include one 3D blu ray disc and one 2D blu ray disc. So does that mean it will miss the second disc of bonus features?

Speaking of the 3D version, is it everyone's guess that the coupon we'll get for this release will ONLY be for the 3D version, as with Tangled?

I love the cover and most importantly so excited for this release :0)

As has been said before, no. In fact, Best Buy's ad clearly stated that the coupon will be honored for both blu-rays.

Sorry, did you mean that the Best Buy ad says the coupon can be used on both versions of Tangled? If so, where does it say that? I have the ad with me and do not see it.

I am also worried that this is going to be a 1 disc only edition. The platinum edition has great bonus features but it was still lacking (not to mention the disastrous navigation system), so I am kind of expecting a really packed edition this time around, at least something like the BATB diamond edition no less.

Not a big fan of the artwork but will definitely be buying it when it comes out, about time I started to make the upgrade to Blu-Ray anyways.

Just discovered blu-ray.com already lists this as 1 blu ray and 1 dvd

http://www.blu-ray.com/movies/The-Lion- ... u-ray/751/

is this reliable?

They are usually pretty accurate over there. I think it is going to end up being 1 BD/1 DVD, otherwise the 3D combo would be 5 discs (1 3D, 2 BD, 1 DVD, 1 DC), which is unlikely.

Thanks MJW! that should be fine. I mean it is dissapointing that it won't have a second disc of extras, but i'm just glad that the 3D version won't be missing any content.

Did not see that in the ad either. In fact my local ad had the price as $29.99 before coupon for the 3D release. It was $24.99 in store, so $19.99 after coupon. They also had the wrong price for Black Swan. It was $22.99 in the ad, but $19.99 in store. So something was up with the weekly ad... at least in my area.

I've heard of some people using the $5 coupon for the 2 disc combo at Target/Best Buy, but its YMMV as far as I know.

As far as a coupon on The Lion King it will probably be for the 3D version, if we get one.

Bambi still had a good amount of space left, so 1-disc wouldn't necessarily be a compromise.

Sacrificing a disc of extras for a digital copy is the sleaziest thing Disney has ever done. I've been saying it from day one: just give the damn code! Other studios started doing that a couple of months ago. Also, If you have a 3D TV, a Blu-Ray player, and one that plays 3D movies, there is absolutely NO need for the DVD. #sleaze

Was it said anywhere it was going to have a digital copy? No DE has had one yet, and I'd imagine if any would, "Bambi" would have gotten one simply because it came out more recently. Either way, "TRON: Legacy" has that five disc combo thingy with the original "TRON" and the 3-D version and the Blu-ray and the digital copy and the DVD and the collectable display plate or whatever, so while it's unlikely, it doesn't seem impossible at this point with a company as bizarrely whim-based as Disney.

Well... there kinda is. Even if I had a 3-D Blu-ray player et all, I'd still have just a DVD player in my room and in other bedrooms. I still like having the DVD for those occasions. Not to mention for loaning to my sister or friends who don't have a Blu-ray player.

Well At least Nala Looks back to frame compared to when she looked like Simba's Mother or Nala stressed out from being a new mother and Kiara Mewing all night and Simba won't help her and you know the drill...
