    When Are Disney Bringing The Lion King "out of the Vault"?

    Does anyone know when Disney are going to bring The Lion King DVD out of the Vault? I've been searching for The Lion King on DVD for about a year.

    If you look good in stores (or websites) ...

    Disney is trying to release each classic again every 7 - 9 years.

    Well... You are a little late, I mean it just came out in the end of 2003 and was out for a little over a year. (Right?) I don't know when TLK will be released again... But you could try Ebay. Good luck.

    You know I could be 100% wrong but I've been hearing lately that The Lion King is going to be released on Blu-Ray which would be totally awesome but like I said.....I could be wrong

    This was posted at http://lionking.org/

    "12/11/2006 - TLK on Blu-Ray Sooner than Later?
    Ryan R. reports that on the new Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest DVD, there's a preview of upcoming Blu-Ray releases of Disney classics such as Aladdin, Beauty and the Beast, National Treasure, and (third on the list) The Lion King.

    This is interesting news for early adopters, particularly those who have gone the HD-DVD route rather than Blu-Ray; evidently Disney has thrown in its lot with the Sony/Samsung consortium and decided to back the technically superior but (possibly) less well-supported Blu-Ray. We shall see how it plays out, but Sony's track record with storage media formats is not good..."

    Well I found Leijonakuningas in Finland in January last year :P It took me and STM ages though :P

    I agree with that though, eBay is probably your best shot HM.

    There's a Yorkshire phrase that goes: "Tha canst bai owt on t'interclick" I think it's appropriate xD

    The US Amazon.com has used copies starting at $23 or so. With shipping, the total would be around $24.

    Personally, I'd wait for them to re-release it, seeing as how it'd probably cost upwards of $25 new.

    I'm going to wait until they release it on HD-DVD or Blu-Ray.

    Because The Lion King is just one of those films you need to see in the best quality possible.

    Do you have to have a certain thing to play HD-DVD or Blu-Ray DVDs? Could I play it on my PS2, or just a Sony DVD player?

    Thanks.

    Nope.

    TLK on dvd is superb quality, and when it comes to 2d colour animation, you can only go up to a certain boundry of quality image. (hence it being on blu ray or hd dvd a complete rip off).Only way you will be able to see the quality diiference on Blu-ray or HD dvd,(if any) is if you have a big TV which is HD enabled (more money)

    if its HD DVD, you need a HD DVD Player (ps2, xbox will not work) (more money)

    If its Blueray you need a ps3 or a Blu Ray DVD player. and yes They are very expensive. (even more money)

    This website will help you......

    Thanks. I'll guess I'll just stick to the normal DVD when it comes out.

    I would buy the normal DVD now off ebay or amazon, because the dvd is getting rarer and the prices are only going to get higher ><.

    To a T basically.

    If you have a DVD, the only way to get better quality is to get an HD ready TV...the DVD is perfectly adequate.

    Blu-Ray and HDDVD are made for movies with huge graphical effects like The Day After Tomorrow for example where a lot of high intensity CGI is used. But like Adam said, with 2D animation...it's somewhat pointless releasing it onto Blu-Ray/HDDVD since 2D animation can't be made into a better image than it currently is on DVD.

    So if you want to spend some money to watch your TLK DVD with a better quality...buy a 50" HD ready LCD TV with Dolby 5.1 Home Cinema sound >)

    ...or something similar.

    The only reason I'd buy TLK on blu-ray or HD-DVD, is just to "have" for in the collection, haha.

    Other then that, I'll stick to DVD as long as I can.

    They all money-hungry *grrr*

    LOL. That's the only reason you would buy it? My reason would be becouse i wouldn't know what to do with money. And even then i would never let down my friend called Download.
