DVDs I Own
Here I list the different DVD releases of The Lion King that I own. I list the language tracks (not subtitles) included on each DVD (and the native name of the language in parentheses), how I obtained each DVD, where to purchase the DVD online (if I have that information), and any other information I have about the DVD.
I primarily collect the dubs in DVD format, but I own a couple of dubs in Blu-ray and VCD format as well.
IMPORTANT NOTE: In this list, I credit the wonderful people who have helped me obtain the DVDs in my collection. If you wish to purchase a DVD listed here, I encourage you to please try to order through the websites I link to before attempting to contact the people who obtained the DVDs for me.

The Lion King 2003 Release
The 2003 release was the second release of The Lion King, and the first time The Lion King was officially released on DVD, though a VHS version was also offered at the time. The DVDs usually had one or two language tracks in addition to English.

The Lion King 2011 Release
The 2011 release was the third release of The Lion King, and the first time The Lion King was officially released on Blu-ray, in 3D format, and as a digital copy. A DVD version was also offered at this time. I still mainly collect the DVDs. The 2011 DVDs usually have between two and five language tracks in addition to English.
The interesting thing about the language tracks on the 2011 DVDs is that sometimes, especially with the Eastern European releases, the DVDs actually contain more languages than are listed on the box. A language selection screen appears when the DVD is first loaded, and the complete list of languages is listed there. Languages marked with a * indicate that that language track was not listed on the DVD case.

Bootlegs or Unofficial Releases of The Lion King
Whenever possible, I try to obtain only official releases of The Lion King for my collection. However, sometimes the websites from which I purchase the DVDs misrepresent the products and send me bootleg copies. On the other hand, some dubs of The Lion King are not officially made by Disney, but I still try to acquire them for my collection.
