The Lion King 3D in Theaters Now

The Lion King 3D in Theaters Now

by Veronica Spettmann

There are many aunties out there who have nieces and nephews too young to remember when The Lion King first came out in theaters. For two weeks only, those aunties have a chance to show their favorite kids the magic that they missed the first time around, but with the added wonder of 3D.
The movie is only playing for two weeks because it is expected to give consumers who want to experience it on the big screen a sense of urgency. Though, with the film’s popularity and a fresh generation of children that are itching to see the film on the big screen, this is hardly necessary.  The Lion King 3D is now playing at theaters nationwide.

This big-screen event should not be missed. The magic of the three-dimensional remastering and the surround sound are enough to make an auntie feel that maybe she is attending the showing more for herself and her own nostalgia than for the sakes of her nieces and nephews.

What child (or adult) would not love to experience the wonder of watching Zazu weave in and out of the jungle trees during “I Just Can’t Wait to Be King,” or to watch Scar jump out of the screen as he attacks the freshly returned Simba? Funny glasses and ticket prices aside, reliving this Disney masterpiece is something families can truly enjoy together.

The Lion King 3D has been released as a precursor to the Diamond Edition Blu-Ray Combo Pack, Blu-Ray 3D, and Movie Download versions on October 4. The Lion King 3D grossed over $29 million in its opening weekend.
