“The Lion King” is back on home video, concurrent with its current run in theaters. On October 4, the film premiered in high-definition Blu-ray™ and Blu-ray 3D™. Having this DVD in our home marks the first time my boys have experienced the film and they are hooked. Watching the DVD took me back to the first time I saw the opening of this movie. Do your remember what it was like your first time. So powerful. I think Lion King’s opening is the best film opening EVER. My kids seem to agree; their mouths were agape and their eyes were the size of quarters by the time “The Lion King” flashed on the screen.
The Blu-ray debut marks the first time “The Lion King” has been available in any form since 2004. Featuring high definition picture and sound, the Blu-ray creates an incredible at-home experience with a host of picture and sound enhancements, interactive features and bonus content, including a new set of funny animated bloopers.
