The Lion King 1-3
The Lion King:Never seen The Lion King before buying the DVD, only really wanted to watch it as friends kept nagging me to.But really glad i took the chance on it, while yes, it does start pretty sad and at one point i even shed a tear, the second half is so funny, so heart-warming, so uplifting, that it more than makes up for the start of the film.Will I be watching it again? Yes, 100%.-----The Lion King 2:Didn't enjoy the 2nd Lion King as much as the first, and truth be told I got bored in places. Please don't get me wrong, i'm not saying it's bad, or a awful film, it's just not as good as the first, for me.The film centers on Simba and Nala's daughter Kiara, who falls in love with Kovu, a male rogue lion from a banished pride that was once loyal to Simba's evil uncle, Scar. Separated by Simba's prejudice against the banished pride and a vindictive plot planned by Kovu's mother, Kiara and Kovu struggle to unite their estranged prides and be together.Most of the original cast returned to their roles from the first film, apart from Rowan Atkinson, who was replaced by Edward Hibbert as the voice of Zazu for this film and its prequel.----The Lion King 3Out of the 3 Lion King films this one is by far my favourite, just because I totally love Timon and Pumbaa, but then again, who doesn't.Hakuna Matata is the 3rd & final installment in the Lion King trilogy. The film is a prequel/parallel to The Lion King, and focuses on Timon and Pumbaa before, during and after the events of the original film.The original cast returns to re-voice their parts, save for a few exceptions: Rowan Atkinson (the original voice of Zazu) was replaced by Edward Hibbert; Jonathan Taylor Thomas (originally Young Simba) is replaced by Matt Weinberg; and James Earl Jones and Jeremy Irons (Mufasa and Scar respectively) did not reprise their roles.

The way it was meant to be viewed!
I was a little weary about purchasing the Lion King again, as I'd bought it when it was first released on DVD and I was distraught by the new added song. They made it so hard to find the original version of the dvd as well. I spend an hour with my friends one time trying to find it!I decided to get the film on blueray, as I am a massive fan and I kept my fingers crossed. My wish had been granted! Not only can I now watch my favourite film in stunning blueray, but they removed that god awful song from the normal play! I was jumping up and down on my sofa with glee! Disney finally got the hint, don't mess with the classics!I was surprised when I heard they were doing all three films in a blueray boxset. I was only expecting to be able to get the first film on blueray. But I grabbed this box and I have to say, all of the films look great on blueray. If you like all three, it is worth purchasing.Also for Disney Movie Reward members, it's worth purchasing new to grab the points. I got my code inside which gave me a massive 450 points towards a reward. That's the regular 150 points per film! YOu'll already be halfway to getting a free dvd!

Classic original versions with superb blu-ray quality
The original Lion King made cinematic history for several reasons: it was the first commercial DIGITAL sound release (which gave a whole new dimension to suitably equipped cinemas) and it been one of Disney's best known animated features. In fact, even Disney studios found it so difficult to make any better their 'live action' version (unlike Cinderella, Jungle Book, Dumbo, Beauty and the Beast and Aladdin) is virtually scene for scene a recreation of the original. The two spin-off features did not do nearly as well, but are well worth watching. This terrific value for money collection of all three Lion King animated features is a must for any film library.

Worth owning.
The original is obviously a classic.The second is basically a remake of the first film but not as good.The third is a prequel/sequel/alternate look at the first film. Set around Timon and Pumba and how they secretly influenced some of the characters during the first film (it's actually not bad).Plenty of bonus features on all of them and generally the same cast voiced the same characters in each film (except Rowan Atkinson).

Great to see the original animation in Blu-ray
Went recently to see the 2019 "live-action" remake of the Lion King in the cinema and although the new edition was perfectly fine, it just made me nostalgic to see the original animation of my childhood and the newer version is no comparison despite all the big-name celebrities who've lent their voices to beloved characters. The two "straight-to-DVD" sequels are also a very enjoyable addition - but nothing holds a candle to the original. One of the best movies of the '90s if not of all time!

Superb! Worth it's weight in ermm mashmellows
This is an excellent box set and although it's a dvd box set rather than the bluray, it's worth the money... most bluray players will upscale quite well (obviously not as clear as a bluray, but darn close!).Watching Lion King (movie 1) is fantastic and for a small price you get all three editions... perfect for you, your mum and the kids! (what more can I say?!)Box itself is rather special, although cardboard it has a lovely well built construction and design. (slides half way down the box).3 x disks (dvd) for the price of 1 (bluray), and don't forget this cartoon movie was created before blurays came about.Enjoy!
