Title: Not what was expected
Review: I expected the DVD to carry the original Lion King movie/story. Instead, it is a modified story book edition with little if any animation, although the cartoons are all faithful to the originals. However, it really fails in achieving anywhere near the entertainment value, emotion and wonder of the movie or theatre performance. All in all - a big letdown. The only saving grace was that the price fell dramatically by shipment time and there are a couple of neat little inter-active games that keep young children interested for about 15 to 20 minutes. My suggestion - save your money; wait and see if they ever release the actual movie on DVD.
Is the review positive or negative?
