Visually stunning
I'll review the 4k quality rather than the film. I'm not getting into the comparison to the original other than to say I think this is better.Visually this is stunning. It feels like you can step into the screen and touch the characters. The quality of animation in flawless and the UHD reporduction is incredible. For once it makes.greatbise of HDR and doesn't make the whole thing look false. The sunsets and and the use of sunlight is really brought out in a super realistic way, see for example the opening scene with the cranes splashing through the pool on takeoff, or the lights dancing on the foliage when the mouse is running about.The sound is equally splendid and gives a great sense of presence. The stampede scene through surround sound shakes the room and heightens the sense of being there.This is far and away the best looking and sounding UHD HDR bluray I have seen.If you don't want to spasm out the extra for this, I can also say the DVD is stunning too asnis the normal BluRay. But if you're looking at this review, you'll be after the 4K version, so go ahead and buy it. You decide for yourself if you like this version of the film, I do and think it is superior in every way to the original, bit opinions vary, in quite a hostile way of you read some reviews of this!

Excellent resolution for the latest film. Glad we chose it.
We decided to buy the 4K UHD version as we had not previously bought the original film on either DVD or Blue-ray. I was so pleased to watch this latest version in such great resolution and would recommend it to everyone.You can really see so much difference with the UHD version and sometimes it's worth it. :)It's such a great film and I now watch it regularly.

Good, but original still the best
Visually stunning in most places, maybe distractingly so, the cartoon is still the version that should be cherished, did have a playback issue on 1st play for some reason,not sure if player or disc related. But worked fine next time.

đŠ Disney's Lion King 4K: More Than Ultra-HD, It's My Ticket to Dating Swimsuit Models! đŹđ
Introduction:So, I thought getting the Lion King in 4K was just about sharper lions. Little did I know, it'd be my secret weapon in the dating jungle.Expectations:Expected nostalgic roars, got way more than I bargained forâcinematic magic that turned me into the Mufasa of modern romance.Unboxing:Opened the box, and Rafiki would've been proud. The Blu-ray emerged like Simba from Pride Rock, or was it Pride Remote?First Impressions:4K clarity? I've never seen Hakuna Matata in such detail. It's like Timon and Pumbaa are in my living room, offering dating advice.Key Features:Ultra-HD? Check. Dolby Atmos? Double-check. It's not just a movie; it's a safari for my senses.How to Use:Put it in the player, press play, and let the nostalgia roll. Note: Do not attempt to reenact the "Circle of Life" at family gatherings.Personal Experience:Date Night: Put Lion King on for "ambience." Date assumed I was deep, connected to nature. Reality: Just wanted to impress with cool lions.Parents' Visit: Scar's villainy in 4K? Parents questioned my choice of entertainment. I blame Disney for my awkward explanations.Boss at Work: Attempted a Lion King-inspired speech at a meeting. Got more puzzled stares than Mufasa in stampede mode. Fired? Not yet, but it's a ticking clock.Bad Feature:It's not the movie; it's me. Can't stop reenacting scenes. The neighbors are filing a noise complaint about my "Roar-aoke."Quality of Life Upgrade:Turns out, the Lion King is a dating magnet. Swimsuit models love a guy who can flawlessly sing "Can You Feel the Love Tonight."Feature They Can't Resist:Swimsuit models can't resist the charm of Simba. Mention "Hakuna Matata" and watch them forget they're models for a moment.Conclusion:Disney's Lion King in 4K is more than a movie; it's my rom-com playbook. I laugh, I cry, I singâmostly for dates.Recommendation:For those who want more than just Ultra-HD lionsâget ready for a dating revolution with Simba as your wingman.Rating:âââââ 5 out of 5 for turning movie night into a Broadway-level performance. And yes, I blame the Lion King for my newfound dating prowess.
