Good review me thinks
Cheers STL!
that is so true! :lol:Quote:
THE LION KING was an animated motion picture triumph for Disney and is now a triumph of a DVD. Without question, THE LION KING looks and sounds incredible on disc. That, along with a nice supplemental package, makes this a must own DVD for the entire family. Absolutely recommended.
Thanks for the link, STL. :kovusmile

Yay, Consumers rated TLK 4.5 stars on Netflix! Check it out Here
Wonder who the bum is that wrote this::grrr: :grrr: :grrr: :grrr:Quote:
This is quite simply the worst animated film ever made. I am a life long fan of animated films, and even Disney films in general, but this is just drivel. The introduction was grand and made it seem like a really special film was about to be unveiled. Instead, the opening musical number ended, the animals started talking, and the film went downhill from there. The movie really drags on and seems much longer than it really was, the music was inane, and the story completely unoriginal. I enjoyed the Japanese version that this was based on much more. Oh, and why did the character of Scar have to act like a homosexual? I don't get it.
Even though his/her initials are MB, (the same as mine) That is certainly not me.:grrr:
In comparison, some other big movies get ratings as follows:
The Passion Of The Christ: * * * *
Road to Perdition: * * * *
Pirates of the Carribean: * * * * .5
I, Robot: * * * *
Lord of the Rings (ALL): * * * * .5
It is really something that an animated movie like The Lion King can keep up in ratings with such large productions as the ones listed above.
P.S. I think TLK deserves * * * * *, but thats just me:evilgrin:
That's reassuring. The 4.5 stars, I mean, not the bum review.
Ok, that review is really dodgy... because we all know that tlk is Disney's biggest animated feature ever!
It is good to see though, like you said SimbaTLK1 that tlk can keep up with other movies... :cheese: :D
Hmmm, I wonder if that person watched the same movie as we did? Because if that's what he says about TLK then it's obvious that he's mentally ill and needs to be shot quite frankly :D On a brighter note, 4.5 stars is pretty awesome :D
I bet one of those idiots that wrote that review were one of the bums on one of those Simpsons forums. :grrr: :die:
Ah well, it's nice to hear that TLK got rated that high. :cheese:
Grrrrrrrrrr... That guy did not watch the same movie... Or he's a nutcase. What's all this nonsense about it dragging? That guy's got issues... The ratings were good though :D Go TLK *waves flag*
I've never met a person yet who actually didn't like TLK even a little bit. Personally I think he wrote it just to annoy people, to which he has obviously succeeded in doing.
Anyway... Hmm.. Passion got that many stars eh? I'm happy ^^
And congrats to TLK for keeping up there with such other awesome movies through all this time too :cheese:
Yeah, he was probably a loser who needs attention :bleen:
But 4.5 is teh awesome! :D
:P I got mine at Costco for $40.00CDN...:hmm:
hmm..collector set...what?
Ours (in Belgium) can be found for 39.99 ? or even more (that's about 51 $ ) So I might be able to say, that ours is the most expensive?
The "thrilogy" boxQuote:

I got the trilogy box for ?30, I think. Still half of what it would be if I bought all 3 separately.
The box set costs about AU$60 here.... which is really annoying, I just want to get it for the picture things inside because I have the first and second movies on dvd already....
:lol: Wow, look how long ago I made that post. It must of been one of my firsts.
Ooh, so it's about the gift box? With the pictures in it and the book?
I payed a lot more for that one, 52 ? I believe (67 $ )
(import from US to Holland, and shipping from Holland to Belgium, that's why it was more expensive for me)
I know the US TLK DVD isn't really anything new, but I found this article about the various audio mixes and picture quality on the dvd, and thought someone besides me might be interested in it. :evilgrin:
well, i can only say 1 thing:
BRAVO DISNEY!
It says there are 2 versions of TLK...:confused:
All I get is the MR version.
I have yet to figure out how to get the original version, but yes, I <3 my TLK DVD.
Thanks for the link. I've read several reviews about the DVD quality but none went as in-depth as that one. I'm particularly interested in the contrasts between the laserdisc version and the dvd version, since I have watched both and drawn my own conclusions. They were right about saying that TLK is a reference-quality DVD.
that was a cool review :cheese: to get to the original version of TLK, go to the Set Up menu...then click on film/audio options and then click under the Original Theatrical section the first option and that is the enhanced 5.1 surround sound version :cheese: :bleen:
An interesting read, thanks ;)
In Australia, we're lucky enough to get a DTS soundtrack, and it sounds fantastic on a good 5.1 setup. It's probably the best sounding DVD i have heard. :cheese:
There is a relatively detailed review of it here :)
Another nice review. Thanks Mabatu. I really we we had the DTS soundtrack here in the US, i wonder what disney's thinking was on that :confused: :confused:Quote:

An interesting thing to note about our DVD is that to get the Disney Enhanced Home Theatre Mix, you need to have a DTS compatible decoder, as the DD track on our DVD is just the original theatrical mix, and doesn't sound as good. I've seen some surround systems that won't decode DTS, and only do Dolby, so in cases like that it would be better to have the DEHTM in DD :cheese:
I don't get it, where's the review?
Is there a link that I missed?
EDIT: Oh I see, forgot the word article. I've read the whole review before, it's quiet informative.
Click the word Article.Quote:

according to the first review it says that they cut the DTS for the USA because they didnt' want to sacrifice any picture quality ;)Quote:

my surround system has a DTS decoder so I wish we had the DTS version of TLK!
There actually is no 'orginal version'. The original version just has no new song with the original morning report, but its been cleaned up and all, so you don't get to see it quite as it was in theaters.
I also thought it was kinda strange Disney didn't include a DTS track given that TLK2 and TLK1.5 did have DTS tracks in the US. However, I'm very satisfied with the quality of the Enhanced Home Theater Dolby Digital mix so I can't complain too much. If they had included DTS as well they would have had to apply greater compression to the video section; there's always a trade-off.Quote:

I persoanlly think disney could have scrapped some of the trailers to make room for a dts track.Quote:

And give up prime marketing space on one of their most popular Platinum edition releases? Nah... besides they want us to have motivation to buy the HD version when it comes out. I think Disney's regular release cycle is 7 years so we should be due for a revisit of TLK in 2010.
Yep, no doubt that is true. Clearly the R4 DVD having DTS must have impacted the video quality somehow, but i was just wondering, maybe that would somehow be balanced by the fact that we have PAL here, which has a slightly higher resolution than NTSC? :thinks:Quote:

The tradeoff would be more in terms of MPEG compression artifacts than resolution.Quote:

Ah, that is a good point. Even so, the quality on our DVD is really good :)Quote:

I for one would really like a real theatrical version. It would be nice to see the (rumored) various things that were (supposedly) removed and the confirmed changes could be put back for collectors and fans.Quote:

I need to upgrade my equipment. I can't even do DD5.1 anymore since the DVD player in my HTiaB broke and I need a HDTV (or a better TV in general). At least I did get to hear the enhanced version before I was sent back to ProLogic land. :(
