Disney's The Lion King 1-3 [DVD]

Arrived in good time & everything is fine & dandy!

The Lion King:Never seen The Lion King before buying the DVD, only really wanted to watch it as friends kept nagging me to.But really glad i took the chance on it, while yes, it does start pretty sad and at one point i even shed a tear, the second half is so funny, so heart-warming, so uplifting, that it more than makes up for the start of the film.Will I be watching it again? Yes, 100%.-----The Lion King 2:Didn't enjoy the 2nd Lion King as much as the first, and truth be told I got bored in places. Please don't get me wrong, i'm not saying it's bad, or a awful film, it's just not as good as the first, for me.The film centers on Simba and Nala's daughter Kiara, who falls in love with Kovu, a male rogue lion from a banished pride that was once loyal to Simba's evil uncle, Scar. Separated by Simba's prejudice against the banished pride and a vindictive plot planned by Kovu's mother, Kiara and Kovu struggle to unite their estranged prides and be together.Most of the original cast returned to their roles from the first film, apart from Rowan Atkinson, who was replaced by Edward Hibbert as the voice of Zazu for this film and its prequel.----The Lion King 3Out of the 3 Lion King films this one is by far my favourite, just because I totally love Timon and Pumbaa, but then again, who doesn't.Hakuna Matata is the 3rd & final installment in the Lion King trilogy. The film is a prequel/parallel to The Lion King, and focuses on Timon and Pumbaa before, during and after the events of the original film.The original cast returns to re-voice their parts, save for a few exceptions: Rowan Atkinson (the original voice of Zazu) was replaced by Edward Hibbert; Jonathan Taylor Thomas (originally Young Simba) is replaced by Matt Weinberg; and James Earl Jones and Jeremy Irons (Mufasa and Scar respectively) did not reprise their roles.

I was a little weary about purchasing the Lion King again, as I'd bought it when it was first released on DVD and I was distraught by the new added song. They made it so hard to find the original version of the dvd as well. I spend an hour with my friends one time trying to find it!I decided to get the film on blueray, as I am a massive fan and I kept my fingers crossed. My wish had been granted! Not only can I now watch my favourite film in stunning blueray, but they removed that god awful song from the normal play! I was jumping up and down on my sofa with glee! Disney finally got the hint, don't mess with the classics!I was surprised when I heard they were doing all three films in a blueray boxset. I was only expecting to be able to get the first film on blueray. But I grabbed this box and I have to say, all of the films look great on blueray. If you like all three, it is worth purchasing.Also for Disney Movie Reward members, it's worth purchasing new to grab the points. I got my code inside which gave me a massive 450 points towards a reward. That's the regular 150 points per film! YOu'll already be halfway to getting a free dvd!

This is an excellent box set and although it's a dvd box set rather than the bluray, it's worth the money... most bluray players will upscale quite well (obviously not as clear as a bluray, but darn close!).Watching Lion King (movie 1) is fantastic and for a small price you get all three editions... perfect for you, your mum and the kids! (what more can I say?!)Box itself is rather special, although cardboard it has a lovely well built construction and design. (slides half way down the box).3 x disks (dvd) for the price of 1 (bluray), and don't forget this cartoon movie was created before blurays came about.Enjoy!

I love The Lion King and when I found on Amazon that you could by all 3 films in a pack I was so happy. I had never seen the 3rd on before so I was glad that I had found it in a pack to buy and watch it. I have even taken them to work with me and had the children at work watching them which has then meant them asking their parents for all 3 films. I would advise anyone to buy the triple pack from off Amazon as in HMV they are selling it for more.

My little boy asked for this for Xmas last year even though he had never seem the films. He loved each one. The films had him glued to his seat. He laughed and cried at some of the things but he absolutely loved the films. He loved singing along to the songs. I was really pleased he loved them.

……..now film classics, and beautiful clever artistic stage productions.Music, character, stories, thought provoking for all ages, moving.Brilliant.

When she opened her present, my 2 year old daughter was so pleased to discover Simba, Pumba and Timon were in there that she looked like she was gonna cry because she was sooooooo happy!! I am glad I bought it but be prepared to watch it again and again as children get 'addicted' to it (my daughter requests it every day, several times a day)... I had never watched number 2 and 3 myself and was a bit 'worried' because of some earlier comments I had seen but I have enjoyed them just as much...
