Binding: VHS Tape EAN: 9780788845611 Edition: New edition includes Song, "Morning Report" Format: Animated, Closed-captioned, Color, NTSC ISBN: 0788845616 Label: Walt Disney Video Languages: Manufacturer: Walt Disney Video Number Of Items: 1 Publisher: Walt Disney Video Release Date: October 07, 2003 Running Time: 88 minutes Studio: Walt Disney Video Theatrical Release Date: June 24, 1994 Editorial Review: Amazon.com essential video: Not an ideal choice for younger kids, this hip and violent animated feature from Disney was nevertheless a huge smash in theaters and on video, and it continues to enjoy life in an acclaimed Broadway production. The story finds a lion cub, son of a king, sent into exile after his father is sabotaged by a rivalrous uncle. The little hero finds his way into the "circle of life" with some new friends and eventually comes back to reclaim his proper place. Characters are very strong, vocal performances by the likes of Jeremy Irons, Nathan Lane, and Whoopi Goldberg are terrific, the jokes are aimed as much (if not more) at adults than kids, the animation is sometimes breathtaking, and the music is more palatable than in many Disney features. But be cautious: this is too intense for the Rugrat crowd. --Tom Keogh Description: Disney's THE LION KING SPECIAL EDITION features an all-new song, "Morning Report," and never-before-seen animation, giving you even more of this award-winning masterpiece -- the greatest animated adventure of all time. An unforgettable story, breathtaking animation, beloved characters, and Academy Award(R)-winning music (Best Music, Original Score, 1994; Best Music, Song, "Can You Feel The Love Tonight") set the stage for the adventures of Simba, the feisty lion cub who "just can't wait to be king." But his envious Uncle Scar has plans for his own ascent to the throne, and he forces Simba's exile from the kingdom. Alone and adrift, Simba soon joins the escapades of a hilarious meerkat named Timon and his warmhearted warthog pal, Pumbaa. Adopting their carefree lifestyle of "Hakuna Matata," Simba ignores his real responsibilities until he realizes his destiny and returns to the Pride Lands to claim his place in the "Circle of Life." Now extensively restored and remastered -- experience THE LION KING like never before, from its magnificent musical opening over breathtaking African vistas to its emotional climax. The all-star vocal talents -- including Matthew Broderick, Jeremy Irons, Nathan Lane, and Ernie Sabella -- rip-roaring comedy, and uplifting messages of courage, loyalty, and hope make this timeless tale entertainment for all ages.

 Rating:  - Everything that looks good, ain't good.I'd like to say the the price wasn't too cheap, because at $23.00, I could have bought this movie new. I figured I haven't had a bad experience in the 2 years I've been purchasing items from Amazon, so I'd buy it anyway. The delivery time was excellent, the case was neat and the disk was spotless...perhaps too clean. It is a copied movie onto a DVD from a pack of DVDs done up with a Label Maker. The movied started skipping as Simba went to sing "I Just Can't Wait To Be King", and then totally ...

Neither the supplier nor Amazon have answered any E-Mails inquiring about the whereabouts of my order. Rating: - Lion KingWas not happy with the quality of the 1st dvd at all. I have to say that James Shaw (at media_fun) sent me out a new dvd right away. Well, number 2 dvd also stoped in the same place the first dvd did. They did not seem authentic. On the DVD I purchase from Redford entertainment on the back was writting in small letters The lion king 2 Simba's pride, there was no writing on the back of The Lion King. I sent them both back and hope to get a full refund. Cheri Reynolds Rating: - Lion KingI was led to believe that the DVD was new, however on watching it, it has an error in it. I'm disappointed. Rating:  - Classic Disney!Great movie, ordering from Amazon was a necessity as the Lion King is not yet released on DVD in Australia. Arrived quickly, within the allocated time. |
