How come the Lion King on DVD is so expensive??

Answer 1

Best Answer - Chosen by Voters

Because Disney animations are timeless. We watched them when we were kids. Our parents watched them when they were kids. And our children (and their children) will watch them too.
So they will always have people who wants to buy them and they have no reason to reduce the price to encourage people to buy them.

Answer 2

because Disney is a big greedy monster of a studio.

Answer 3

like every disney dvd, they release them with high prices and tell everyone that after so long it will be locked up in the film vault and you will never be able to get it, so people pay 30 bucks for them because they don't want there kids to grow up and never see Mulan

Answer 4

Its because when a film is "digitally remastered" companies seem to think that they are re-releasing it as a new film so they increase the price to full retail

It is stupid, I agree. In UK its like £13.99 for that DVD when about two years ago the older version was about £5.00..

Anyway try the net if your looking for a bargin

Answer 5

This long awaited DVD of The Lion King carries the Special Edition banner not only because it is packed with bonus features but also because it includes two versions of the film for you to enjoy. The Original Theatrical Cut is joined by a new Special Edition of the movie that includes a newly recorded musical number that has been seamlessly integrated within the movie through the addition of new animation that maintains the films original look. This new song is known as “The Morning Report” and is performed by Zazu around ten-minutes in when Mufasa is giving Simba a pouncing lesson. Sadly they were not able to bring Rowan Atkinson back in to record this additional song though just like the new animation, the replacement voice actor manages to maintain the illusion that the song was there in the first place (for those who have never seen the film at least). So is this new song a worthy addition? No, not really. Unlike the other songs it serves little purpose other than to lighten the mood and for me it failed even to do that as it just does not have the punch of the other tracks. One best to avoid in this reviewers opinion though like many of the bonus features on the disc I am not so keen on, I am sure kids will love it.

***Only reason i can find, it does have loooads of stuff on there thou****
