The Lion King 1-3 [Blu-ray] [1994] [Region Free]

Finally after years of waiting for a re-release it finally happens and instead of slowly waiting for each movie to be released, they kindly released all three at the same time! This truly is a package that is worthy of the Lion King fans around the globe. I bought this for my girlfriend for her birthday, she is a HUGE Lion King fan, but to be honest a part of me wanted to re-live my childhood movie experience as well. Packaging: First let's talk about the packaging. The movies arrive in an African-themed box that pays homage to various scenes from the first movie. The box itself is surprising well-made and very sturdy. The box opens like a small door in the front to reveal a drum inside that actually houses the movies (ie: think of it as a box in a box). The drum is also surprisingly study, so you can tell Disney put great care in to the creation of this Collector's edition. Once you twist off the top of the drum you'll see a Simba DVD-housing for the actual movies, this is the only part of the packaging that you really need to be careful with. The DVD-housing is held together by two Velcro-like straps that can very easily rip off if torn too hard, definitely open it for your children. The housing folds out like an accordion and you'll see a plethora of DVDs and Blurays. Physical Content: There are a total of 8 discs included in this set. Here is the breakdown of discs: Lion King: 3d Bluray, Bluray, DVD, Digital Copy Lion King 1/2: Bluray, DVD Lion King 2: Bluray, DVD So, there's a total 4 Blurays, 3 DVDs, and 1 Digital Copy, which I believe is ONLY the first movie, but I have yet to try it. Disney definitely did not skim out on supplying a complete Collector's edition, which is actually quite surprising, because Disney can milk a product like crazy when they want to. (For example, Diamond vs Platinum editions? Honestly, just include the extras on both discs and stop milking the double-sets.) Movies: Not surprisingly the quality on these movies is just as great as before and the experience only gets better on Bluray, especially on scenes like the stampede with your surround sound turned up. The 3D content looks good and is appropriately placed and definitely not over-done, so you don't have to worry about it simply being a "gimmick". All-in-all this is a must-have for Lion King fans, both diehard and casual alike. Make sure you get this set while you can before Disney decides to cut off the production, like they do with all of their series, and you'll either have to fork out four times the normal price or wait patiently for a few decades to go by before the next big re-release.

We purchased the Blu-ray format of this set. For anyone wondering, there is no digital copy, no regular DVD, just blu-ray only, which, to be fair, is what it says it comes with. However I have seem some reviews saying not to order these since they don't play on a DVD player. This DVD set was BRILLIANT. It included all 3 lion king movies, which are very hard to find nowadays, for a really good price (at the time of purchase it was $35). We were debating purchasing these, and I'm glad we decided to. The title states that the DVDs are UK import, so we feared it wouldn't work on our US DVD player. However, they worked brilliantly with a full-screen picture and high-definition. These are ALL REGION DVDs! that means they work in all regions, despite being from the UK. We received exactly what was pictured, 3 DVDs in their cases, despite what others are saying about receiving the DVDs loose, and they came in that box to help keep them together. As for the movies, they were all brilliant movies worth watching. One thing I LOVED about these were the special features that came with the original Lion King movie. It included these AWESOME bloopers that were funny to watch and the option to play the movie in song-along mode, which was amazing. So, if you are thinking about purchasing these, don't let the UK import steer you away, they work in ALL REGIONS as far as I am aware, since the DVD cases say all region on them, and DEFINITELY work on a US Blu-Ray player.

Like a story straight out of the greatest works of Shakespeare, The Lion King delivers a truly memorable and timeless experience from the word, "GO!" From the ascension of the African sun with the calls of the enchanting Zulu choir to the final ascension of the newly-crowned king to the throne of Pride Rock, Disney once again astounds and astonishes its audience with its mixture of captivating storytelling, thrilling music, lovable characters, and rich animation. This Blu Ray release has been long overdue, but Lion King fans from the original release and newcomers alike will be awed and inspired by the vibrant colors of the talented and legendary artists in Disney Animation. Nearly two decades have separated this release from its original theatrical appearance, and yet watching this Blu Ray gives the same feelings and thrills of watching it long ago in 1994 - when the world was radically different, with no threat of terror, a thriving economy, and naive sense of safety. Watchers will escape once again into the harsh and magical heart of Africa, as they witness Simba, the heir to the throne of Pride Rock, grow up from a cub safely at the side of his regal father, Mufasa - masterfully portrayed by James Earl Jones - through the trials and pains of adulthood. His uncle Scar is as menacing as we remember, friends Timon and Pumbaa as lovable, and Nala as enchanting. One should do themselves a favor and purchase their own copy of The Lion King on Blu Ray before it goes back into the infamous Disney Vault. Adults with children should be cautioned if their child(ren) is/are of considerably young age - Mufasa's death is as saddening and moving as ever, and yet Hakuna Matata will have them singing and dancing around your house in no time.

My daughter loves these movies after watching them every day for the last three weeks she still loves them us adults still like them but we are getting to overload. But way better on blu-ray as no ads and we think it one off the best animated movies sets still stands the test off time.

Pas en Français, dommage

輸入盤なのでパッケージは少し安っぽいですが問題なく見れます。 子供も喜んで何回も観ています。 3枚セットでこの価格はお買い得でした。

Una edición sencilla pero completa. Cumple y con buen precio.

My favourite kids cartoon 😍
