A rare discovery

[Kossu]

Ok...is it Christmas already?

After a very...strange set of events, I discovered these gems today:


- A full video copy of the Lion King workprint from 1993: https://archive.org/details/thelionk...1/VTS_01_1.VOB

Be warned that the image quality is terrible, but the audio is decent. There's a lot of content I have not seen before...not linearly arranged like this anyway.



-A full copy of The Lion King Laserdisc Letterbox version: https://archive.org/details/lion-king-laserdisc-capture

(Yay for old IJCWTBK crocodiles...)

There's also some of the "making of" extra content available:

https://archive.org/details/side-6-laserdisc
https://archive.org/details/side-7-laserdisc
https://archive.org/details/side-8-laserdisc

I've seen this content online before, but not on this quality.

Oooh, I'll be watching that making off!
I always thought it was the making off presented by Robert Guillome, like the version that's on the special edition VHS box.

I also have another different making off version, that was aired on TV.

Oooh, wow! Very, very cool stuff! I'll be watching this too

Gosh, there is something so charming about the old "VHS-like" quality of the film. It's probably all the nostalgia

Agreed! So much nostalgia... Or it could just be the crocodiles. I find it hard to believe now, but those crocodiles frightened me as a kid...for some reason.


@nathalie; Do you mean the extra special edition VHS tape from 1994? Is that content different from that of the laserdisc?

[nathalie]

The vhs box edition has Robert Guillome presenting the making off video.

Thank you. I love all of these: "Making of/Behind the scene" Stuff. I had the VHS but I couldn't remember what was the content but this definitely up in my alley. especially the storage size due for standard definition back then.
