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 Original Score, 1994; Best 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.

I simply cannot believe how beautiful this version is
The movie itself is a timeless classic and I don’t feel the need to talk about plot itself. It’s great, and it became even better experiencing it again as an adult.But the real highlight of this version is the visuals. I cannot state enough just how beautiful this movie is in 4k HDR. The best way to describe it would be like watching a painting come to life, hop off the wall and then start dancing in front of you. It’s a living painting.And if you have any experience whatsoever as an adult, this movie is a transcendental experience. You are able to make out all the pencil and brush work, and the colors are vibrant and powerful. I could rant about how good it looks for hours, but I’m going to cut this short and just ramble at my coworkers about how good it looks, even though I’m sure none of them know what 4k even is.This movie is absolute perfection, aside from the fact that when you pause the movie, a stupid indicator of where you are appears in the corner of the screen – which sucks, because I REALLY wanted to just pause and stare at the screen as if it were a painting – because most scenes in this movie are. 11/10, slightly upset that I’m going to be spending a LOT of money buying more Disney animation.

Long Live the King!
Hey, so the live action “The Lion King” movie has come calling. You know what this means?It means that I need to re-watch the old school classic animated film again!Words cannot describe my love and excitement for this animated film! “The Lion King” is probably my all-time favorite animated movie and it is one that never got old no matter how old I get! I just had to get this beauty on DVD because I wanted to re-watch this movie OVER and OVER again until the day I DIE! But, here’s a brief summary of the film if you want to know why this film is so AWESOME!The film started off with the birth of King Mufasa’s son, Simba and because of this, Simba will be next in line to be the king of the Pride Lands. But unfortunately, Mufasa’s evil brother Scar, wanted to be king himself and he starts making a plan on how to get rid of both Mufasa and Simba. When Scar finally succeeds in taking down Mufasa, Simba ends up running away from the Pride Lands and ended up with a warthog and a meerkat named Timon and Pumbaa. Now that Simba’s past has caught up with him, Simba must take his rightful place on the throne and defeat his evil uncle Scar.”The Lion King” has been a TRUE childhood favorite of mine! It has everything that you could ever hope for in an animated movie: drama, action, beautiful animation, amazing characters, brilliant character development and of course, MATURE THEMES like the death of a parent and the importance of being a ruler that is important for both parents and children to learn from. Probably the best part about this movie were the characters and the music themselves as they were very well done. My favorite songs in this movie were “I Just Can’t Wait to Be King,” “Hakuna Matata,” “Circle of Life,” and “Be Prepared!” I also loved the character development being done with all the characters, especially with Simba himself as he had to learn that he can’t run away from his problems and that he must face them head on.All in all, if you want to see a true animated classic film, then “The Lion King” is definitely the one movie that you just got to watch! It has everything that you could ever hope for in an animated film and it is one film that continues to be an all-time favorite of mine to this very day!

Great Price and Value for a Classic Animated Movie
The sound and picture quality are phenominal through my 4k tv and home theater system. the digital code also redeems the 4k copy (sometimes these movies only give you the FHD copy.)This was a great purchase for the money. i would absolutely recommend this to anyone looking to upgrade from DVD/Standard Blu-Ray copies!

It was all great! But there is a problem with the Personality Profile Quiz in the Bonus Features.
I thought that having this version of The Lion King was great. I loved the new song that they updated into it, called “The Morning Report.” A lot of the Bonus stuff was great, too. I enjoy exploring a lot of it. Except that, even though I checked it out in excited curiosity, too, I didn’t like a lot of how the Personality Profile went. I love Personality Profiles, by the way. I am a fan of them. I think they’re fun! It’s fun to put people in a box as best as you can, but this Personality Profile was way off. Even with how Zazu describes you at the end, if you are most like a character that he has pasted as stars in the sky. And the Personality Profile doesn’t have near enough Personality questions in it, either, to get you very accurately. Having lots and lots of questions in one game instead of just a few is the only way that you can come up with a very accurate assessment. That is what I know. The more questions are asked about what you are, that you try your best to answer, then the better and more accurately that this game that you play can put you in a box. It should also ask you and have you check off with your remote control with what you most, 2nd most, third most, etc., balanced between, and least are. And it should at least have about 100 Personality questions, to be so extremely accurate. And Zazu should have a lot more says for what you are, at the end, where he can even say a lot more what whatever is all that you checked off means that you all together correctly are. He even exaggerates how bad you are, on the one where you are most like Scar. Just because somebody tends to have a lot of the same problems that he does, doesn’t mean that they are near as bad as him. Scar was like the devil! He was a Hitler in a lion’s body. Besides, many people out in the World in many different ways tend to be bossy, unfeeling, impatient, intolerant, you name it, but it doesn’t mean that most of them are near as bad as Scar. He was the most extreme version of it. So, I find a huge complaint about how bad that Zazu described that I was, when I averaged up at times on it to being most like Scar. I most definitely am not near as evil as Scar. I’m even a Christian, for Heaven’s sake! But once I pick a lot of the Choleric type answers in the Personality questions that he asks me, Zazu (who narrates it) first calls me a bunch of names, and says that “I have an obsessive desire to rule the World, and that I didn’t care what it would take to get there.” Then he tells me that I am a huge troublemaker. Even to the law. Then he says that I deserve to be locked up, then says that I am most like Scar. It was not very nice of him. I averaged out to being most like Nala a few times, too, and a few times being most like Timon. But the way he described me then, too, was mostly definitely not me, and also some of it was even an exaggeration of how my answers mean that I am like. So, even how Zazu describes you at the end of the test is not very accurate, no matter who he says that you are most like. And I find that as a big complaint! And not only the questions it does ask, it should also ask what you from most to least are in the whole list of Personality Types that even come out of the four basic ones, called “Melancholy, Choleric, Phlegmatic, and Sanguine.” And if it did do it that way, then it should have two seperate levels in the same game, which is where one is all your Personality Strengths, and the other one is all of your Personality Weaknesses. Then Zazu can be able to tell you at the end who you are most like in the Strengths, and who you are most like in the Weaknesses. This Personality Profile needs a whole lot of improvements. So, I wish that whoever put out this special addition would do it in the way that I wish that they would. If they did, then it would be so much more awesome and exciting. And I wish that every movie released out there would have a huge Personality Test on it, in the way here that I said that I wanted them to be like, to even tell me who in the movie that I am most like in the Strengths, and who I am most like in the Weaknesses. Also, on this, I find it a complaint, too, that the Personality Test couldn’t be quiet. I didn’t like it very much that there was a repeatitive stupid jungle music on all of it, and that Zazu had to name out all of the questions on the page, when anybody who reads it can read.

Bajo cualquier estándar que pueda aplicarse a películas animadas, ‘The Lion King’ es una hermosa y concisa obra maestra que estimula la imaginación. Todo el mundo, niños, jóvenes y adultos, encontrará algo que apreciar en este cuento de Disney. Tiene algunas canciones memorables y ha engendrado una producción escénica muy popular.
