The Lion King: Diamond Edition

[Victurtle]

I prefer the original waterfall. It's more emotive and feels like gushing water. The new version, in animation, just looks like tepid water.

[ajmrowland]

I wonder if the Blu-ray will include the real theatrical version. Apparently, they changed quite a lot of things in the film:

I think the "SFX" is still there!

You mean the other word right? lol so Disney uploaded the Lion King's Diamond Site, with confirmation that Simba's Pride and 1.5 will only be part of the 8 disc set damn you Disney, the site also confirms bonus feats for both Simba's Pride/1.5

They probably realize that only obsessive collectors want to own their DTV sequels.

Although, honestly, the LK sequels are some of the best.

No, I meant the SFX mistook for the other word. It's there in the PE.

[Mason_Ireton]

I know bout the sfx thing, just tryin to be sarcastily funny, but guess it didn't work.

Still don't see a problem with Muffasa's Ghost sequence, the waterfall seems bet'ter than the vhs, which untill now, I didn't noticed that Nala is almost hidden by the fall.

Animators always say that a film is never finished - it just gets released. So, with that in mind, when the filmmakers want to change something, I'm all for it.

It's the same argument people use for the Star Wars films. George Lucas himself WANTED to make the changes he did. I don't think anyone else should be allowed to say anything against that. If you don't like the changes, that's fine. But I don't think they "owe" us anything in the likes of giving us the original version.

Well, I feel different. Especially when a certain version of a movie is released to the public for several years, I don't think it's fair to simply withhold the version the creators don't like because they're not satisfied with it for whatever reason. Of course, they have every right to release the version they want to, but the least they could do is give us the option. It's funny you should mention George Lucas, because there wouldn't be nearly as big a backlash as there was when he released the Special Editions if he released the original versions. Also, he stood against the altering of motion pictures during a Congress hearing about that subject, but apparently that doesn't apply to himself.

Danish coverart!

This will probably be the cover art for all the Scandinavian/Nordic countries:

Why Can't Disney get this right...in America and everywhere this applies to Disney's Artwork of movies... they need to plaster this image in their head

[nachonaco]

It's awesome, but they need to fix Nala's eyes.

Eeeeek! Can You Feel the Love Tonight looks amazing, but the birds and crcocidles in IJCWTBK? Ewwww, they look terrible! They look like cutouts! They looked great in the VHS!

[Kyle]

You think the new ones look like cutouts? I'd say the original ones look like cut outs, and I actually like them more because of that. the way they open their mouths originally was more stylized and intentionally flat looking. Almost UPA ish. the new ones they tired to make it look more dimensional and "proper".

[rs_milo_whatever]

The Danish cover is so much better! The characters need a little tweaking, but it's still so much better!

Here a link to an english book sold by a dutch webstore. It bears the diamond edition cover, only with horizontal text. So this must be a clue that more countries Will be receiving a different cover...only weird thing is the published date, which says 2003, but must be wrong

[rodis]

Even in a hundred years I would not have found anything wrong with the original crocodiles. And the new ones look fairly similar to me.

Actually this is a reprint of the 2003 edition, which I happen to have.
As for the title, you and I both know that the Dutch Bambi is horizontal as well, so we'll get it like that for Lion King too, I'm sure

Japan always get gorgeous cover art! Sleeping Beauty, Tangled and now for The Lion King. Wish Disney would use the Japanese covers everywhere.
