The heir could grow up in peace were it not for Scar, Mufasa's brother, whose thirst for power will drive him to commit the irreparable… To the delight of cartoon fans, The Lion King, the greatest success of the Disney studios (by a hair, it seems, along with the aquatic Nemo), is finally being released in an exclusive double DVD edition. For the occasion, Disney has gone all out, and there is plenty to satisfy the customer: no less than two versions of the film, a karaoke, games, deleted scenes, and a series of delightful documentaries, called \"safaris,\" on the different stages of the film's production. A DVD full of surprises and magic. A real joy in terms of animation. An ideal gift! --\nGeorge Maubeuge\n\n\nSpecial Features\n\n\nHow good-looking is the restoration of Disney's popular animated film? Take a look at the serviceable but dull film clips incorporated in the plethora of extras and compare them to the vivid gorgeousness of the film presentation. This \"special edition\" also adds a 90-second song (\"Morning Report\") that originated in the lavish stage musical. To Disney's credit, the original theatrical version is also included, both restored and featuring two 5.1 soundtracks: Dolby Digital and a new Disney Enhanced Home Theater Mix, which does sound brighter. As with the Disney Platinum line, everything is thrown into the discs, except an outsider's voice (the rah-rahs of Disney grow tiresome at times). The excellent commentary from the directors and producer, originally on the laser disc, is hidden under the audio set-up menu.\n The second disc is organized by 20-minute-ish \"journeys\" tackling the elements of story, music, et cetera, including good background on the awkward Shakespearean origins at Disney where it was referred as \"Bamlet.\" The most interesting journey follows the landmark stage production, and the kids should be transfixed by shots of the real African wildlife in the animal journey. Three deleted segments are real curios, including an opening lyric for \"Hakuna Matata.\" Most set-top DVD games are usually pretty thin (DVD-ROM is where it's at), but the Safari game is an exception--the kids should love the roaring animals (in 5.1 Surround, no less). One serious demerit goes to the needless and complicated second navigation system that is listed by continent, but just shows the same features reordered. --Doug Thomas\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eUPC:\u003c\/b\u003e 786936225419\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780788848506\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e DVD\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eItem Condition:\u003c\/b\u003e UsedVeryGood\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"IDshop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40673246085304,"sku":"0P-9BRQ-NPXD","price":39.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0030\/9765\/7390\/products\/41N0X3EJR6L.jpg?v=1633969461","url":"https:\/\/id-shop-ca.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/the-lion-king-disney-special-platinum-edition-collectors-gift-set","provider":"ID Shop.ca","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
