Here it is, OFFICIAL (and I do mean it this time, for the ones who remember my April fools day thing =P) PR from Disney president of distribution, Bob Chapek. http://corporate.disney.go.com/studioca ... hapek.html

“The all-new 3D format immerses viewers in the epic settings and puts them face-to-face with these beloved characters. We’re showcasing one of the all-time favorite Disney movies in theaters and making it available in Blu-ray hi-def and in Blu-ray 3D—it’s the must-see, must-own title for everyone.”

“The Lion King”: Diamond Edition home entertainment release will be available from the Disney Vault for a limited time only beginning October 4 as follows:
• 4-Disc Blu-ray Combo Pack (for the suggested retail price of $49.99 U.S./ $56.99 Canada)
o “The Lion King” = Blu-ray 3D + Blu-ray 2D + DVD + Digital Copy™
• 2-Disc Blu-ray Combo Pack (for the suggested retail price of $39.99 U.S./$46.99 Canada)
o “The Lion King” = Blu-ray 2D + DVD
• 8-Disc Trilogy (for the suggested retail price of $100.00 U.S./ $115.00 Canada)
o “The Lion King” = Blu-ray 3D + Blu-ray 2D + DVD + Digital Copy
o “The Lion King 1 ½” = Blu-ray 2D + DVD
o “The Lion King II: Simba’s Pride” = Blu-ray 2D + DVD

And the one-disc DVD Edition will be available on November 15.
Finally, the film will release theatrically in 3D on September 16.


Good times! Also, New Trailer Here! Along With Confirmation Of Dates! and some HD clips. The trailer is playing in theatres, if you are in luck =P go watch Disney films now, you might see it =D.

Hope this clears up any confusion about dates / pricing for TLK 3D, Blu Ray or the theatrical release. But if you have any more, post them below, otherwise rejoice in rather delicious news!

I'm so going to buy the new DVD, just sayan. I never got to own TLK other than this really old tape... It's been a year since I've watched the movie anyway.

^ Yeah, a Lion King board should discuss bread instead... /sarcasm.

The point is, this is an official announcement, so now people know that absolutely anything else posted in other threads, is false or out of date information.

Awesome though. I wish the trailer was a little more dramatic, lol. It's going to be good though :3

Yeah, it seems like the trailer only featured the Hakuna Matata song x.x

Still, looking forward to all the new TLK releases!

Hmmm... a conundrum here.

I really like the sequels...but it seems that they are just going to be the discs. I don't care about the sequels as discs but I really would like TLK with the Blu ray packaging. Really would hate to buy the same movie twice.

That aside this disc seems PACKED with new special features. I love that.

Edit: Wait...TLK as a FATHER'S DAY gift? Isn't that...odd considering Mufasa dies?
