      Tape review
    Review created: 05/16/08

    The tape in the beginning was a little fuzzy, but it began to clear up the longer the played. It arrived in good condition, and at a reasonable time frame. I would buy from the seller again. Thank you.

    Have always liked the Lion King Movie. It is well liked in my family by the adults as well as children. An excellent movie that is wholesome, entertaining, and teaches a few good lessons about life. It sounds awesome on surround sound. Another Disney great that you want to watch again and again with your children and grandchildren.
