The Lion King's "Enhanced Home Theater Mix"...WOW!!!

I suggest everyone listen to the Disney Enhanced Home Theater Mix, it's
simply amazing! I'm lucky enough to have full range surround speakers to
experience Disney's "Dynamic And Spatially Enhanced Surround
Experience".

Every movie studio should take a note on how 5.1 should be done!

I totally agree. It makes you feel like you are in the movie more than the traditional 5.1 mix that is made for the theatres.

Posts like that get an automatic plonk from me. Life's too short.

Putting the excellent sound quality of the "Enhanced Home Theater Mix"
aside, what would make me feel like I am in the movie is to have the
EXACT SAME animation on this DVD as I saw 9 years ago in the movie
theater. I don't mind Disney adding the "Morning Report" scene to the
theatrical cut to make a "special edition" cut. However, I want the
damn ORIGINAL theatrical cut as shown in 1994, not an "original" cut
as shown in IMAX theaters earlier this year!

The crocodiles from the ORIGINAL theatrical release from 1994:

and the "retouched" crocodiles from the 2003 Platinum DVD:

<http://www.suesrock.net/home/tiramisue/newcrocs.jpg>

Am I the only one disturbed by the blatant revisionist animation for
this DVD? Yes? Well, then perhaps, they should refilm the end of
Citizen Kane, where the newly-recast, California-Governor-Elect,
Arnold Schwarzenegger (as Charles Foster Kane) says, "Rrrrozzzbud" (in
his thick Austrian accent) and put that on the Super-Duper Special
Platinum Edition DVD! Won't that be a treat?...

I didn't think so.

Enough of me carping about this. If you all are happy with this
revisionist piece of dreck for a DVD with its fluff "extras" and NO
theatrical nor television trailers, then fine... enjoy it. I, for
one, am quite pleased with some of it (like the new sound mix), but
overall, I'm very disappointed. I'm keeping my LaserDisc Box Set, and
I will treasure it more than this very weak DVD.

What are some other differences? If that's the only scene, I'm pretty sure
I can live with it.

We heard you the first seven hundred times. If seeing different
crocodiles for .05 seconds causes you actual physical pain, perhaps
DVD's aren't for you. I hear coloring books are much less stressful.

Congratulations. That's the most idiotic analogy I've read on this ng
all month (though it's only October 8 so I'm sure you'll have your
"award" stolen in no time). If you truly think changing the actor at
the end of Citizen Kane is equivalent to a barely noticeable
animation-cell change in the middle of a song in the Lion King, you
have severe mental problems.

then you have severe mental problems.>

Hopefully the Robert Guillaume documentary holds you over. Otherwise
you're missing out on the best-looking, best-sounding, most worthwhile
extras-filled version of the greatest animated film ever made. Try not
to let that destroy you.

Uh, that would be three times... Perhaps, you need to go back to
school and finally pass the 1st grade to know the difference between
three and seven hundred. I'll give you a quick lesson, though... 3
does not = 700. There, was that so hard? Lesson over.

Granted three times is twice too many, so I apologize to the NG for
the redundancy.

I'm sure that you would know first-hand about this little tidbit of
wisdom! Thanks for sharing your vast knowledge with the NG.

Are you an M.D. psychiatrist or have a Ph.D. in psychology? No? I
didn't think so. Have you ever even graduated from high school? No?
I thought as much.

I admit that my analogy isn't perfect. Obviously Charles Foster Kane
is a central character to Citizen Kane, whereas the crocodiles are not
central to the story to The Lion King. However, a substitution is a
substitution -- whether it be for a few frames, or whether it be for
longer (I am reminded by the two Darrens in Bewitched!). Disney
advertises that the Platinum DVD has the original theatrical cut -- I
was just pointing out that this is a blatant lie.

The extras are pure self-congratulatory fluff; there is very little
that is substantial about them at all. However, for those who have
the attention span of a child, I'm sure that the extras will appear to
be quite satisfactory.
