Latest 'Lion King' DVD roars with a new song

By Andy Seiler, USA TODAY

The circle of life will surround DVD owners in a whole new way on Oct. 7. Walt Disney Pictures has seamlessly added a new animated song and sequence, Morning Report, to a special two-disc edition of The Lion King.



"It's the most anticipated Disney movie on DVD, and the exciting news is that it's not just the movie that they all loved," says Gordon Ho, senior vice president of marketing for Buena Vista Home Entertainment.


Inserting a song written by Elton John (news) and Tim Rice for the Broadway version, Disney animators have crafted an entirely new, brief animated scene for the film, the biggest animated hit of all time until Nemo swam along.


While the studio did this once before for the DVD of Beauty and the Beast, that scene had already appeared in an IMAX big screen re-release. This is the first time Disney has added a newly animated scene specifically for a DVD.


"It's impossible to capture lightning in a bottle twice, but I don't think we need to," says Don Hahn, producer of the original film and the new sequence. "This song was an easy one to fit in, and we're lucky that we still have a lot of the same people working in our studios."


The new "rebuilt" version is also in wide screen, includes extra details in the animation originally created for IMAX and also has a newly remixed musical score and three-dimensional sound effects intended for home theater systems, so the jungle appears to surround you in your living room.


It all sounds like an adventure but it raises a prickly question: How far back into its library will Disney go to make "improvements"? Would the studio do this to The Jungle Book? Snow White? When should a movie be left alone?


Disney's answer: Not to worry. It's all about options. The original version of The Lion King, with no remixing, no tinkering and no new song, will also be included in the DVD.


"The purists out there can see the movie exactly as it was in 1994," Hahn says. "Those who enjoy seeing new innovations can sing a new song."


Ho thinks he knows which you'll choose.


"Nine out of 10 people will prefer the home theater mix," Ho predicts. "I mean, the wildebeests feel like they're stampeding over your head."

Well it is awesome to know someone else shares my love for The Lion King. I loved the movie, but when I got to see the play, I was completely blown away. It's good to have an inner child:D Thanks CT4 for letting us closet kids come out play:)

I saw the play in Toronto. It was AMAZING, to say the least!! I cried at the play because it was THAT good.

I pre-ordered my copy already from Wal-Mart.com. This is one of the bste movies EVER!!!! I don't care how old I am. I will ALWAYS watch this movie and I can't wait for my sons to see it.

Girl me too. I was more into it than my kids. It makes you say "who comes up with this stuff"

I am so on that!!! Sleeping Beauty comes out on Tuesday, but I am SOOOO ready to see the Lion King and the new song!!

TTT

Tomorrow is the day. :D

i'm planning on walking down to best buy on my lunch break tomorrow to buy this. i'm so excited!!!

I like Lion King...but I must say that my all time favorite is Cinderella:D :D

The Lion King is the bomb movie!! I saw it in theaters a couple of times (I have no children, but my grown behind was all up in there!! :D )

I've also seen the theatrical production in Toronto it was breath taking. I plan to see it again in 2004 when it comes to Detroit.

I will definitely be buying this video.

My all time favorite Disney animated film is Beauty and the Beast! The Lion King is a close second.

on a side note... Finding Nemo is suppossed to hit stores Nov. 4,2003 (That was a cute movie)

I will be getting both The Lion King and Finding Nemo. The Blockbuster here is having a special where you but Finding Nemo and get 7 paid rentals for $29.99.

I'm so sorry to say it, but yes it was. I even got some free lithographs with it that I'm going to frame and put in my babies' room.

What do you all think about the new song? It's going to have to grow on me. I used to love the original scene when Simba pounces Zazu without the music. I'm glad that dvd comes with both the new version and the old. I can't wait to get a chance to look at all the extras and play the games.

To be released on 2.10.04 ~ The Lion King 1 1/2
 

The Lion King 1½ is an ingenious sequel that retells the original film's story from the perspective of best pals Timon the meerkat (voiced by Nathan Lane) and Pumbaa the warthog (Ernie Sabella). Anyone who has wondered how this odd couple met will find out here, beginning with Timon's flight from home following disgrace and his chance encounter with the sweet but lonely Pumbaa. With the arrival of young Simba (Shaun Flemming), The Lion King's familiar tale is reborn via a fresh angle, fleshed out by returning characters Rafiki the wise monkey (Robert Guillaume), Shenzi (Whoopi Goldberg), and Simba's love interest, Nala (Moira Kelly). While the retooled narrative proves a novel experience, The Lion King 1½ is really a vehicle for voice actors Lane and Sabella, whose comic performances are shamelessly, broadly funny. Matthew Broderick, Julie Kavner, and Jerry Stiller are also in the vocal cast. --Tom Keogh
