Synopsis / Press Release

Disney’s epic coming-of-age saga tells of the love between a proud lion ruler, Mufasa and his son Simba – a naive and curious cub who "just can’t wait to be king." But Simba’s envious Uncle Scar has other plans, and his scheming for the throne leads to Simba’s exile from the kingdom he should rightfully rule. Befriended by the hilarious warthog, Pumbaa, and his manic meerkat companion, Timon, Simba forgets his regal responsibilities and adopts a carefree lifestyle of "Hakuna Matata."

I wasn't saying it was a spam post, or anything of the sort. I was merely saying that it would be better if you searched for existing threads rather than creating new ones.

Now I understand im new and there probably written and unwritten ethics but from what I see it dosent state that i can post a new thread.

As it happens, searching for threads before posting would come under written ethics - see Rule 3, part C (http://www.joblo.com/forums/announcement.php?forumid=20). ;)

It's just as fun to keep it all in one thread (especially if it was created by me :p). Anyway, this has nothing to do with DVDs so I'll shut up now. Welcome to the forums :)

BTW, I think the Collector's set looks fucking cool, and I've got mine ordered - can't wait

The region 2 set comes out a little after the R1 (31st October), and will include a DTS soundtrack. It seems like the features will be the same. Personally I'm not really too bothered about the lack of DTS (if I had a set-up that could take DD5.1 I'd be more than happy), so I'll stick with my R1 box set. Haven't read anything so far that suggests a "Collector's Set" will be released in Europe.

Sweet! I love this film! I would definitely buy this, if I have the money at that time.

The gift set looks very cool, but I think I'll be going for the UK release as it has a DTS track, which the US release doesn't have.
