The Lion King DVD
 

Why the hell is it so hard to get? There is not a new DVD release until 2001 at the earliest.

The newest DVD release is currently out of print, and luckily enough to get it off E-bay for $20.

Disney periodically "retires" all their animated films, and then they rerelease them several years later for a brief amount of time.

Why though?

I have to wait till 8 years ago?

That blasted time machine took him back too far.

Don't fly anywhere on September 11th of that year.

Lion King is a good cartoon, i love it. sure we can learn from this movie no matter you're a kid or adult.

Totally agree!

This is by far one of my favorite offerings from Disney!

From the brilliant animation to some excellent vocal work (particularly Rowan Atkinson, Jeremy Irons, Robert Guillaume, Whoopi Goldberg, Nathan Lane & Ernie Sabella) to the unforgettable music by Hans Zimmer, Tim Rice & Elton John (righfully Oscar-winning), this is a superior piece of work.

Love it, love it , LOVE IT!!!

I grew up with the Danish version of it. Luckily they casted brilliant Danish singers to voice the singing roles and they did a really good job with the translation also. Otherwise they would've ruined it for me and I would've really missed out.
Every kid should see The Lion King, because every kid can identify with the Simba character.There is no beating this film, cartoon-wise, in my opinion.

Oh and I have no idea where you can get the DVD, sorry.

Calling The Lion King as a "cartoon" gives it a "cheap" feeling. It's more like a masterpiece in animation.

That's crap dude. ;) A cartoon is a cartoon. The way you put it sounds like you think cartoons can't be masterpieces. You can call it whatever you want, it doesn't change the fact that The Lion King... Is a cartoon.
Like calling Watchmen a 'graphic novel'. It's a freakin' comic, m'kay... A great comic, but still a comic. It's pretentious bullsh*t, and pointless at that.
