Beautiful box art. But I'll probably pass. $49 is a bit rich for my blood for what you get. I'm more interested in the on-disk features anyway.
Hopefully though some kind soul will do a custom disk cover using the box art.

wonder how much of the Laserdisc special features particularily all the character designs will make it over to the Platinum DVD edition. The Laserdisc is a chore and finger buster in the 'step forward' feature.

Looks damn_sweet to me, and I know my wife will be all over it. I've been considering picking up the LD box, but I may wait to see how this stacks up.

Actually, if you're a Disney collector & the Lion King happens to be one of your favourite films & you get the LD at a much lower price than what was the original SRP...it's not silly.

Just like Beauty and the Beast. And the DVD is a cropped 1.85. I think the director intended 1.85 here too.

Since Disney is saying it's 1.66:1 anamorphic, it's pretty much a moot point, unless they change it like they did last year.
Anyway, I must ask, where did you get those screencap illustrations from? They're exactly the type of thing I've been looking for!
