For the past few years I have been trying to collect my favorite childhood Disney movies on DVD. What makes this goal complicated is the Disney Vault, the place that Disney executives take good movies so they can keep demand up. It is an evil scheme, but one that I have paid close attention to.
For instance, I very quickly scooped up Fantasia
when it came out of the Vault in April, and Beauty and the Beast
in August.But I have been waiting...patiently...for the past 3 years... for my favorite movie of all time, The Lion King
, to finally return from the Vault. 
Well, it was announced in July, that it would be released TODAY, October 4. I pre-ordered it in July, and have been patiently waiting for it to arrive.
Then this weekend, my patience ran out. We went and saw it at the movie theatre in 3D on Saturday. It was just as I remembered (minus the 3D part).
(though it did cost more fore 2 people to see it in the theatre, than to purchase the movie in DVD+Blu-ray+3D+digital copy format.)
ANYWAY, it comes out TODAY. It should be in my mailbox TODAY. I plan on watching it at least a dozen more times.
Are there any movies you feel this passionately about? Or am I the only crazy Disney movie collector in the world?
My fiance bought it for me the other day. I've watched it 3 times already. Love the Lion King. My second [and most recent] tattoo is of Rafiki's Simba painting.
ReplyDeleteDon't worry, I'm a Disney lover too...
ReplyDeleteNot especially Lion King, but I try to buy DVD's of my favourites ones whenever I have money enough to have the collection.
In due time, I'll have them all !
