The Lion King (1994) More at IMDbPro »

The Disney DVD Platinum release of this movie included an optional version (through seamless branching) with a new song, "Morning Report", originally from the stage show.
The Platinum DVD uses the IMAX release, which contains slight differences in animation. For example, characters who had faces that were too small to be seen in the original had faces added to the IMAX print. Also, there are some visual differences in the "I Just Can't Wait to be King sequence." The ground is different in one shot and the alligators and birds have been changed in at least one shot.
Also shown in 3D version.
In the original 1994 release, the film opened with the dedication to Frank Wells (in a yellow font), the blue Walt Disney Pictures logo (with birds chirping), Walt Disney Pictures presents, then the start of the film. In the IMAX release/Special Edition, the Walt Disney Pictures logo is orange with a black background and the Frank Wells dedication before it is in a red font. On the 2011 DVD/Blu-ray, the CGI Walt Disney Pictures logo has been added, then it skips to the Walt Disney Pictures presents logo. The Frank Wells dedication has been moved to the end of the end credits.
In the 3D re-release the old Disney logo is replaced with the new Disney logo and the Walt Disney Animation Studios logo is added in. These changes were also made in the 2011 DVD & Blu-ray releases except the Walt Disney Animation Studios logo was only shown in the 3D version
