Hey guys, I have been on Twitter and I have heard that Lion king is going into the Disney Vault FOREVER! Is this true? I can't, how can I live with that?!? If you don't know what the Disney vault is, check out the definition here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disney_Vault#History Anyway I have heard that other movies like Aladdin is already in there and Lady and The Tramp is going into the Disney vault with TLK on the 30th of April. I know that TLK has been in the Disney vault a lot but apparently it is going in forever, as Iv'e heard. Anyone else heard of this and any extended information about this?? Thankyou. I hate the disney vault. why not keep the movies around forever!?

The Disney Vault is used to generate excitement about a film in later years. The Lion King came out of the vault on 4 October 2011 – for its 3D release (which I missed, shamefully). You are right in saying that TLK will be locked up on 30 April 2012, but that doesn't mean the film will become inaccessible. It will always be available through sites like Amazon or Ebay – although prices may be higher.

I doubt it will be 'vaulted' permanently though, Disney will want to build the excitement and release it in 8-10 years (possibly as 8K 3D, which would look absolutely spectacular in a large cinema).

ooooh, right. I get it now, hehe. Silly me lol Thankyou!

They say that about most of the older Disney movies,but usually like years later they end up putting the movies out of the vault and start selling them again to make more money. Then they do the same thing over and what you to think it's going to be lock in the vault forever.

Questions really belong on the main site, not on here. And since the matter seems to have been resolved, this topic is rather pointless and should be locked.
