Coming so quickly on the heels of the "Dumbo" bluray (our review of which you can read by clicking here: http://www.conversantlife.com/film/dumbo-bluray-review), Disney is back again with “The Lion King” on Diamond Edition BluRay and DVD.  There are several ways to see the film – Digital Copy, DVD, BluRay, and in 3D BluRay.  Here at Conversant Life, we have been generously provided with an advance review copy of the film on BluRay.

If you haven’t seen “The Lion King” then you may need to check your pulse.  It is Disney’s highest grossing animated feature ever (recently being #1 again for its 3D release for the past 2 weeks), has Academy Award winning music featuring the likes of Elton John and Hans Zimmer, and has been fantastically adapted to the stage on Broadway by Julie Taymor (Titus, Across the Universe).  The film has been parodied many times over (generally a sign of respect), and has sequences that are cemented into the collective consciousness of storytellers and film lovers the world over.
