| Editorial Reviews: | |  |  | | Not an ideal choice for younger kids, this hip and violent animated feature from Disney was nevertheless a huge smash in theaters and on video, and it continues to enjoy life in an acclaimed Broadway production. The story finds a lion cub, son of a king, sent into exile after his father is sabotaged by a rivalrous uncle. The little hero finds his way into the "circle of life" with some new friends and eventually comes back to reclaim his proper place. Characters are very strong, vocal performances by the likes of Jeremy Irons, Nathan Lane, and Whoopi Goldberg are terrific, the jokes are aimed as much (if not more) at adults than kids, the animation is sometimes breathtaking, and the music is more palatable than in many Disney features. But be cautious: this is too intense for the Rugrat crowd. --Tom Keogh | |

| Everything that looks good, ain't good. | |
| | I'd like to say the the price wasn't too cheap, because at $23.00, I could have bought this movie new. I figured I haven't had a bad experience in the 2 years I've been purchasing items from Amazon, so I'd buy it anyway. The delivery time was excellent, the case was neat and the disk was spotless...perhaps too clean. It is a copied movie onto a DVD from a pack of DVDs done up with a Label Maker. The movied started skipping as Simba went to sing "I Just Can't Wait To Be King", and then totally stopped playing! Since it was being played at a sleepover, I had to keep trying 'cause the children were totally looking forward to it. I eventually had to turn it off since it wouldn't fastforward, turn it back on and from the menu, skip a chapter then slowly rewind as close to Simba's song as possible so they could finish watching it...then it did just about the same thing at the hyena/Scar's song "Be Prepared". Disappointing, but didn't want to go through possibly more hassle with trying to return it to the sender.
| | | I have not received my order, even though it was billed to my credit card. Neither the supplier nor Amazon have answered any E-Mails inquiring about the whereabouts of my order.
| | | Was not happy with the quality of the 1st dvd at all. I have to say that James Shaw (at media_fun) sent me out a new dvd right away. Well, number 2 dvd also stoped in the same place the first dvd did. They did not seem authentic. On the DVD I purchase from Redford entertainment on the back was writting in small letters The lion king 2 Simba's pride, there was no writing on the back of The Lion King. I sent them both back and hope to get a full refund.

| | | I was led to believe that the DVD was new, however on watching it, it has an error in it. I'm disappointed.
| | | Great movie, ordering from Amazon was a necessity as the Lion King is not yet released on DVD in Australia. Arrived quickly, within the allocated time.
