From Amazon.co.uk

Disney's 1994 animated feature, The Lion King, was a huge smash in cinemas and continues to enjoy life in an acclaimed stage production. The story finds a lion cub, son of a king, sent into exile after his father is deposed by a jealous uncle. The little hero finds his way into the "circle of life" with some new friends and eventually comes back to reclaim his proper place. Characters are very strong, vocal performances by the likes of Jeremy Irons, Nathan Lane and Whoopi Goldberg are terrific, the jokes are aimed as much (if not more) at adults than kids, the animation is sometimes breathtaking and the songs from Tim Rice and Elton John, accompanied by a colourful score, are more palatable than in many recent Disney features. --Tom Keogh

Format:DVD
In my option this is the Best Film that Disney have made, the DVD quality has just made the film more enjoyable to watch. The extras on Disc 1 & 2 make this a must have for any Disney Buff or any one with young children.

I did had problems accessing the Original 1994 Version on Special Edition DVD, the “play” icon on the main menu just seemed to play the New Version of the Lion King.

I called Buena Vista Home Entertainment, they informed me that you need to do the following;

Wait for the main film menu to appear, then go to set-up Icon, in set-up go to the Languages Icon and lastly in Language menu you will find Original Version, (just under Hebrew).

Thank you for reading my review and I hope it helps anyone who thinking about buying this DVD or anyone who had the same problem as me.

5.0 out of 5 stars Be careful of some of these reviews 11 Nov 2011
By John A. Stedman TOP 1000 REVIEWER
Format:Blu-ray|Amazon Verified Purchase
The Lion King Double Play (BluRay +DVD) released in November 2011 is a 5 star product. No doubt in my mind. Picture and Sound quality are superb and the film is a true classic that speaks for itself. However reading through some of the reviews shown here, it appears that they have been mixed up and do not always relate to this package - some relate to Region 1 US read along issues for example. Choose your review with care!

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding! 25 April 2006
By Mr. B. Ambrose VINE™ VOICE
Format:DVD
Disney are known for creating amazing tales but this one, along with the animation the powerful voices for the characters, and the amazing music makes this a truly breathtaking Disney classic!

I saw this film when it came out in the cinema, and I have watched it so many times since then as I think it should be regarded as one of the best animated films out there.

I was lucky enough to get hold of this version of the DVD and I would totally recommend adding it to your list today! One of the best Disney films out there.

I grew up watching Disney films, and have seen most of the classis, but this for me is the ultimate classic. Its got laughs its tear jerking moments and above all it's a film that has proved the test of time and deserves its classic status. So buy it while you can because you won't be disappointed.

4.0 out of 5 stars The last great old-style animated film? 20 Mar 2006
Format:DVD
Made in 1994, The Lion King is arguably the last great old-style animation film before the arrival of more edgy, in your face computer-designed animations such as Shrek and Madagascar. It’s an epic story of love and betrayal in a grand setting of the African plains.

Although The Lion King is mainly based around the central plot there is some side humour, especially from Timon (a meerkat) and Pumbaa (warthog) companions to the main lion Simba during his isolation as a young adult. An immense epic animation, which is well worth seeing.

3.0 out of 5 stars Could have been better.. 3 Nov 2003
Format:DVD
There is no escaping the fact that The Lion King is possibly THE greatest Disney Animated film ever, so like many others i was thrilled when it was released 'Special Edition'. Having bought Beauty and The Beast I was expecting great things. Unfortunately I found that the standard of content did not match that of the Beauty and The Beast. There was very little booklet information, just lots of adverts. Also the games were very uninspiring and tedious. As for the Original Theatrical Release, as there was no information telling you were to find it had to sit and scour the whole of both discs...twice, until i eventually found it...in Languages...i mean of course, how silly of me to not have looked there first.
If i had not found it, i can assure you I would have been taking the film back and demanding a refund...Saving grace i can watch the original because the special edition version isnt a patch on it, the song they re- inserted should have been left on the cutting room floor.
But now ive had my gripe will go off again to watch Simba on his journey and sing along to the much loved songs....with one final comment....Hakuna Matata!

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent with one disappointment! 17 Oct 2003
By Benson VINE™ VOICE
Format:DVD
This is an excellent DVD from Disney. The only dissapointment is the new sequence 'The Morning Report' as it is extremely obvious it is a different singer singing for Young Simba, and this kind of spoils the new sequence. You shouldn't let this put you off though because it is still interesting to see, and the original version of the film is on the DVD anyway.

The lion king never looked better on DVD. The images are crystal clear with the colour more obvious than ever before.

Theres a whole disk of extras as well as many extras on the disk with the film including a new version of 'Circle of Life' (sang by random stars from the Disney Channel), a 'Which character are you most like?' quiz and many featurettes about the making of the film.

If you liked Disney's previous 'Platinum Edition' offers you'll love this, and if you are a huge fan of the lion king, it is definitely for you!

5.0 out of 5 stars Good enough to make you hyperventilate 30 Nov 2003
Format:DVD
The Lion King has got to be Disney's best movie of all time. If sales figures are correct, and you already own three copies of The Lion King on VHS, then there's no real point describing the plot of the film, beyond the fact that its wonderful art, award-winning songs, and loveable characters are good enough to make you sob into your Lion King hankerchief. In a good way. And you'll have been licking your lips in frantic anticipation of the Special Edition DVD. And believe me, it's been well worth the wait.

And the Gift Set is no less wonderful. For a start, it contains the Special Edition DVD, with its 2 disks with beautiful disk art, the special features of games, interveiws with the animators and such, the film itself in all its improved glory, and in general, three wonderful hours of bonus material.

After you've enjoyed the film, you can then enjoy up to eight original drawings of the characters to keep in your cupboard in an airtight box so that you don't wear them out by looking at them too much, and most wonderfully of all, the DVD companion Hardback, 'The Journey'. This describes the making of TLK, the making of the TLK Special Edition DVD, and has some lovely pictures in it as well. These are found only in the Gift Set.

All of this is wrapped in a special box with beautiful art.

It takes a lot for me to give any film FIVE stars, but here is TLK in all its greatness.

A small warning - despite being a very limited edition of the Special Edition, the DVD contained within the Gift Set does not contain any more special features than it does when purchased on its own. The extra money is paid for the book, pictures and box. The Gift Set is for adult collectors, not children.
