Sensible buyers will get the Bluray which also comes with the film on dvd too so you can still watch it even if your HD player is still in the shops yet to be bought
Animated/computer graphics and real family Disney films are the absolute best, in my opinion. Sitting down to watch one with the room lovely and warm ..... brilliant!
Is it worth having animation like Lion King in HD?
I have seen the SD version and its stunning on my Toshiba 1080p TV with live action films these seem to make all the difference but I don't notice this with cartoons.
It's getting another theatrical release in Autumn 2011 (the 20th anniversary of its US release), this time in 3D. I assume the Blu-ray/DVD release will come after that.
