Disney is funny like that. They take so long in a ploy to build up excitement then they take you for the full 30 bucks.

I've seen that HighDef list for several years with that same titles. I've been waiting for Platoon forever. Who knows when TLK will come out. It's ambiguous..

Future re-release

Disney has yet to announce a date for the Blu-ray Disc release, although the studio showed clips of the film on Blu-ray at the Consumer Electronics Show 2008.[55] It is worth noting that since Disney has announced all future Platinum Edition titles until 2010 (Pinocchio, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Fantasia, Fantasia 2000 and Beauty and the Beast)[56] , a Blu-ray release/DVD re-release of The Lion King is not expected until 2011 the earliest.

Lion King DVD is in mortitorium and wont be available for 7 years, so a release would coincide with that
