Alternate Versions
This film was re-released in IMAX and other large format theaters on December 25, 2002. The following changes were made to the film for this release:
-This movie opens with "The Lion King: Special Edition" title card, following the Walt Disney Pictures logo.
-The pouncing lesson scene was replaced with an all-new song, "Morning Report", originally from the stage show.
-The animation of crocodiles in the "I Just Can't Wait to be King" sequence was completely re-done.
-The animation in some of the scenes went back through the clean-up animation department a second time, to correct problems such as wavering lines and missing details, which, while not very noticeable during a traditional 35mm showing of the film, would have been discomforting on a much large IMAX screen. Small details, such as the characters who had faces that were too small to be seen in the original had faces, were also added.
-The waterfalls in the "Can You Feel The Love Tonight" sequence were enhanced.
-The 2003 Platinum Edition release omits the original end credits sequence and it uses the static end credits from the 2002 IMAX/Special Edition re-release. See more »
Delightful animated feature from Walt Disney Pictures about a naive young lion cub destined for greatness. Born the son of a beloved and authoritative king he's groomed to be the next ruler of the kingdom, but along the way he encounters tragic detours at the hands of his villainous uncle and scheming hyena henchmen. Years later—as an adult—he decides to embrace his destiny and take his proper place in the Circle of Life. Warm, intelligent, laugh-out loud funny film is a triumph in every aspect; unforgettable songs, snappy dialogue, remarkable animation, and a stellar cast of voices make this a treat for all ages. A rousing adventure that you can enjoy again and again, and arguably one of the finest animated films ever made. ****
