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!

This IS a Lion King forum. What were you expecting?!

[KopsTheTerminator]

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is an official announcement, so now people know that absolutely anything else posted in other threads, is false or out of date information.

I like bread TPAM

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

[Moka]

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?
