The Lion King, one of Disney's masterpiece movies comes in plastic protective case. case and tape look and plays very good.
Not an ideal choice for younger kids, this hip and violent animated feature from Disney was nevertheless a huge smash in theaters and on video, and it continues to enjoy life in an acclaimed Broadway production. The story finds a lion cub, son of a king, sent into exile after his father is sabotaged by a rivalrous 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 music is more palatable than in many Disney features. But be cautious: this is too intense for the Rugrat crowd. --Tom Keogh
Anybody who struts around with Simba's hard-won authority deserves this royal DVD read-along from Disney. Kids can recoil at Uncle Scar's dastardly deeds en español and discover that "hakuna matata" sounds pretty much the same in Spanish, French, Italian, or German. And should the dynamic storytelling fail to thrill your 4- to 12-year-old fan, a flurry of other interactive options await. Toggle to "Songs" for sing-along renditions of movie hits, including "I Just Can't Wait to Be King," and on to "Music Videos," where Elton John roars soundtrack favorites "Circle of Life" and "Can You Feel the Love Tonight" and Jimmy Cliff and Lebo M groove to "Hakuna Matata." The "Vocabulary" feature allows for see-and-say mastery of a list of wildlife, while the "Game" section allows players to match paw and hoof prints to the proper beast and reassemble the scattered skeletal remains of an elephant. Original cast voices are featured, and grownups will be pleased by the package's reading component. --Tammy La Gorce

HORRIBLE SELLER!!!!!!!!:
I purchased this item over a year ago and I still have yet to recieve it. I have tried countless times to contact this seller to alert them of the issue and I have not yet recieved a responce. I will never buy from this seller again and I recommend no one else does either . The least they could have done was responded to my emails. VERY BAD SELLER!!!!!!

Awesome Product:
This item came new in the case just as specified. It is the special platinum edition so you can watch the old version or the new version. The item was delivered quickly within a few days. The seller sent me a card with a few stickers for the kids which was very thoughtful. I would definately buy from this seller again. This movie is exactly what i wanted, awesome!
NOT HAPPY:
did not receive package until a month and a half after buying it, and after getting it, it turns out that the dvd was pirated. I will never buy from this person again and I advise you to do the same.
