The Lion King Diamond Edition 2-disc Blu-ray (G)
Movie: 4 stars out of 4
Disc: 4 stars out of 4
Hitting the shelves just after a two week 3-D theatrical rerelease, this exquisite Blu-ray package is just the latest incarnation of Disney's highest-yielding cash cow and one of its finest productions. Pinching more than a bit from Shakespeare's "Richard III" and featuring one of Disney's most ominous villains (Jeremy Irons as Scar), "The Lion King" is about as intense as a "G" rated film can get yet while still maintaining a pure family-friendly experience.
Technical specs: aspect ratio: Widescreen (1080p/1.78:1), audio: English (DTS-HD MA 7.1), French and Spanish (DEHT 5.1), subtitles: English SDH, French and Spanish.
Special Features:
* Never-before-seen deleted scenes and bloopers
* Deleted song
* Extended scene
* Two featurettes
* Disney Sing-a-long mode
* Interactive Blu-ray gallery
* BD Live
* DVD version of the film
Disney, $39.99
