The king of all animated films reigns on Disney Blu-ray 3D—magic in a new dimension.Amazon.comNot 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 KeoghRelated ProductsVersions of The Lion King on Blu-ray and DVDRelease DateOctober 4, 2011October 4, 2011October 4, 2011October 4, 2011Format/Disc #Blu-ray, DVDDVD, Blu-rayBlu-ray 3D, Blu-ray, DVD, Digital CopyThe Lion King includes: Blu-ray 3D, Blu-ray, DVD, Digital Copy The Lion King 1 ½ includes: DVD, Blu-ray The Lion King 2 includes: DVD, Blu-rayBlu-ray 3DNoNoYesYes (The Lion King Only)Blu-rayYesYesYesYesDVDYesYesYesYesDigital CopyNoNoYesYes (The Lion King Only)Bonus Features4 Never-Before-Seen Deleted Scenes;Deleted Song;The Morning Report: Extended scene;Never-Before-Seen Bloopers;Disney Second Screen*;Pride of The Lion King; The Lion King: A Memoir- Don Hahn; Disney Sing Along Mode; Interactive Gallery; Audio Commentary; Disney’s Virtual Vault: Classic DVD Features Powered by BD-Live**Not Available in all territories.
