El Rey León (The Lion King) - Disney Special Platinum Edition Summary Disney's The Lion King Special Edition Features An All-new Song, "morning Report," And Never-before-seen Animation, Giving You Even More Of This Award-winning Masterpiece -- The Greatest Animated Adventure Of All Time. An Unforgettable Story, Breathtaking Animation, Beloved Characters, And Academy Award(r)-winning Music (best Music, Original Score, 1994; Best Music, Song, "can You Feel The Love Tonight") Set The Stage For The Adventures Of Simba, The Feisty Lion Cub Who "just Can't Wait To Be King." But His Envious Uncle Scar Has Plans For His Own Ascent To The Throne, And He Forces Simba's Exile From The Kingdom. Alone And Adrift, Simba Soon Joins The Escapades Of A Hilarious Meerkat Named Timon And His Warmhearted Warthog Pal, Pumbaa. Adopting Their Carefree Lifestyle Of "hakuna Matata," Simba Ignores His Real Responsibilities Until He Realizes His Destiny And Returns To The Pride Lands To Claim His Place In The "circle Of Life." Now Extensively Restored And Remastered -- Experience The Lion King Like Never Before, From Its Magnificent Musical Opening Over Breathtaking African Vistas To Its Emotional Climax. The All-star Vocal Talents -- Including Matthew Broderick, Jeremy Irons, Nathan Lane, And Ernie Sabella -- Rip-roaring Comedy, And Uplifting Messages Of Courage, Loyalty, And Hope Make This Timeless Tale Entertainment For All Ages.

Anybody who struts around with Simba's hard-won authority deserves this royal DVD read-along from Disney. Kids can recoil at Uncle Scar's dastardly deeds en español and discover that "hakuna matata" sounds pretty much the same in Spanish, French, Italian, or German. And should the dynamic storytelling fail to thrill your 4- to 12-year-old fan, a flurry of other interactive options await. Toggle to "Songs" for sing-along renditions of movie hits, including "I Just Can't Wait to Be King," and on to "Music Videos," where Elton John roars soundtrack favorites "Circle of Life" and "Can You Feel the Love Tonight" and Jimmy Cliff and Lebo M groove to "Hakuna Matata." The "Vocabulary" feature allows for see-and-say mastery of a list of wildlife, while the "Game" section allows players to match paw and hoof prints to the proper beast and reassemble the scattered skeletal remains of an elephant. Original cast voices are featured, and grownups will be pleased by the package's reading component. --Tammy La Gorce
