Lion King: Special Edition (DTS)

Disney?s epic coming-of-age saga tells of the love between a proud lion ruler, Mufasa and his son Simba a naive and curious cub who "just can?t wait to be king." But Simba?s envious Uncle Scar has other plans, and his scheming for the throne leads to Simba?s exile from the kingdom he should rightfully rule. Befriended by the hilarious warthog, Pumbaa and his manic meerkat companion, Timon, Simba forgets his regal responsibilities and adopts a carefree lifestyle of "Hakuna Matata."
