This is possibly the best 3-D conversion I've ever seen. Better than Piranha.

Saw it the other night. Good shit. I liked how instead of stuff jumping out at you, they made it look more like you could jump into the screen.

The best part? You take off your 3D glasses, and the image is perfectly intact! :D

I think the problem I had is this is one of those movies I saw so many times as a kid that I know almost every line before it's spoken. Still, a few things surprised me, like how what I thought of as a family movie contains so much open talk of killing. I guess it goes with the territory when the story revolves around carnivores and political assassinations, but still, seemed like more than I'm used to.

The Lion King came out in the early 90s, talks openly about killing, and got a G.

Cats and Dogs came out in the early 2000s and had to rewrite many of the big bad's lines from "kill them" to "eliminate them" to keep it from slipping into PG-13.

Is this about the MPAA not scrutinizing Disney as much as other companies, or is it more about them getting stricter over the better part of a decade?

This is going to start a giant trend of Disney movies being re-released in 3D.

I really hope Aladdin is next. The flying-through-the-cave scene and Friend Like Me are made for 3D.

The MPAA has gotten stricter. The Hunchback of Notre Dame had to be edited to get a G and Atlantis, Lilo and Stitch, Treasure Planet, Home on the Range and Tangled all carried PG ratings (Bolt for some strange reason got a G despite the violence).

[up] No, Bolt did get a PG. The one you're thinking of is probably The Princess And The Frog, which really shouldn't have gotten a G.

Also, was anyone else surprised that this was just a 3D conversion of the original cut, and they didn't shove "Morning Report" in there?

From what I heard, the "Human Again" sequence in Beauty And The Beast was not included in that 3D conversion internationally either.

I stand corrected on Bolt. For some reason, I thought it was G and Super Rhino was PG.

[up]It's enough for me. I get to see it for free this weekend since my dad works on the movie theaters. I think they should've saved the 3D for a Disney movie that's not already on the top of the pyramid.

I agree with whoever said Aladdin should be next. I want a Diamond Edition.

(Wait, TLK 3D was released last Friday, right?)

I saw the movie in 3D.

Oh my god, it was amazing. Beautifully animated. Actually so beautiful I almost cried in the beginning.

Right, I actually went to watch it because I wanted to see how they could animate a 2D movie in 3D. I think that's what made it, since it was clear and the depth perception was a lot easier to notice that way, but I think the only problem would be that the environments had more detail than the characters so the 3D gave a lot of focus to the surroundings.

It was beautiful though, definitely worth the extra bucks for it.

My friends and I just got back from seeing it, and it was amazing. They certainly put more effort into it than most post conversion movies.

Just got back from seeing it with my friends, including one who (gasp) has never seen it. The theatre was full of kids that we assumed had never seen it, so we refrained from singing along and quoting every line like we usually do.

I was really happy with the 3D. It didn't give me a headache, didn't jump out at me, and just generally looked amazing.

I have a question: is this the original release, or the one that was out on DVD a while ago with new scenes like "Morning Report"?

Did you see my post from earlier? There were no extra scenes that I could remember. (And I always thought it would be the kids who would sing along and quote every line...)

Well, I'm still 16 and technically a kid tongue. I meant that the younger kids probably hadn't seen the movie yet, so we didn't want to ruin their first-ever Lion King viewing.

My friend was absolutely convinced that they had changed/added some scenes and tried to claim that I owned the DVD version despite the fact that the last time he'd seen the movie was at my house, when we watched it on my 1996 VHS.

The 3D conversion was handled by the same team who did the same for Tangled in Burbank. It was not outsourced. :3 That makes me happy.
