Not that I saw. Just the two Bluray discs.

PS. Check the reviews. They are not all favorable.

I personally don't think I will be double dipping.

No they don't. Kino never has digital codes...and Jimmy is right, the PQ is supposed to be washed out and horrible.

I think the picture quality is far from horrible (see screenshot) but the colors are somewhat muted.


Nevertheless I *must* have that original audio so this release is a must own for me.

Thank you for the feedback. I guess I'll be passing.

Wishing I hadn't plumped for the standard Speed Racer set. At that stage the Mach GoGoGo discs were unconfirmed.



Edit: Now that I know the SRP will be $300 I ain't so remorseful!

Yeah, I read about this yesterday. Nice!

This Lion King animated release really takes the absurdity to a whole new level.

If everyone remembers the 2011 2D/3D release caused controversy back in the day because literally 2 seconds of Mufasa's cloud disappearing off into the horizon was cut out.

They reinserted those 2 seconds in this new release (no 3D disc this time) but the video/audio are exactly the same as the 2011 release.

So people are rebuying it just for those 2 seconds which I understand the movie needs to be complete but that's below the belt Disney shame on you.
