Le Roi Lion - Coffret 3 DVD

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 CopyLion King 1/2: Bluray, DVDLion King 2: Bluray, DVDSo, 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.

A little overly woke in places, but still enjoyable a fun set of movies to watch with your kids although a little traumatic in places we need to sit with our kids When they watch movies.. especially the younger kids that aren’t used to the idea of death, but Disney is always done that when you think of Bambi, which was actually written for an adult audience anyway, I still enjoy the movie

I bought this a few days ago, and it just came today in the mail. I am very pleased with the set. I only had the VHS of the first movie, which bit the dust, so I am excited to have all three movies!What I really like is that in the original Lion King, they've kept it to the original theatrical release. Meaning that the added song, Morning Report, in the Special Edition that came out a while ago isn't in it. It's a cute song, but they had to use a different voice actor for Simba since the original one was too old. Plus, this was the way I first saw and grew up with Lion King.Also, it looks that Disney has completely remastered The Lion King. (2 and 1 1/2 were made later on, so I don't think they needed it as much) This means that the lines in the animation are pristine, not 'scratchy' looking which is reminiscent of 90's and earlier animation. At first I felt a loss of nostalgia, but I soon got over it once I realized that this is how The Lion King was meant to be. The sound is beautiful and crystal clear as well.The box it comes in seems to be a harder, condensed form of cardboard, as is the drum. The box is textured, giving a carved wood feel. The top of the drum pulls apart, revealing the CD's. They are kept in an accordion-style paper-board container. It's probably not the best of places to keep a CD, but it doesn't seem like they'll be moving around much and a few pieces of that soft paper that comes with protective CD sleeves can easily fix any potential problems.Altogether a great deal. At $75 it is less than $10 a disc and right now Amazon has free shipping on it. I highly recommend this set to anyone who grew up as a Disney kid or collects the movies. This was the first movie I saw with my sister in theaters, and the first movie I owned. And now I have a set that will last so I can pass on the magic to my own children.

Bought for my son for Christmas. He enjoys lion king movies. Quality is great & shipping was fast & great. Happy with purchase.

I got my Daughter this movie for Christmas. Movie works great. She Loves it.
