Synopsis:

The Lion King has be released on home media several times over, with changes being made along the way. Many of these changes were for the better, but some of them were for the worse. This fanedit of the film serves to take some of the better changes from earlier releases of the film and add them back into a more high quality, later edition copy of the film. Also included are more songs!

Change List:

- The Frank Wells tribute was moved to the beginning of the film, like how it was in the VHS release. - I replaced the modern Disney logo with the orange-and-black logo that was used in the Platinum edition. - The redone shot of Rafiki holding up baby Simba at the end of the Circle of Life sequence was swapped out for the original version of the shot from the VHS release. - The Morning Report sequence was added back in instead of the original pouncing lesson scene. - Eduardo Quintana's animation of the stage version of the cut song "The Madness of King Scar" was added in after the scene where the hyena's confront Scar about not having enough food. - The version of the scene where Simba is lying on the cliff ledge and the dust forms the letters "SFX" was added back in. - The scene where Simba runs towards the clouds after speaking to Mufasa was restored (after the clouds were mistakenly removed in the Diamond Edition). - The end credits from the VHS release where the credits scroll down in one column instead of two were added back in.
