News is coming in from around the web that the final specs for the upcoming DTV feature will include a THX-certified (a first for a direct-to-video title) 1.78:1 anamorphic transfer, Dolby and DTS 5.1 Surround Sound, and a whole heap of bonus materials, gathered on a second disc. Despite the general feeling towards Disney’s video feature track record, this one looks like it could be worth checking out! Davis DVD has the full story with all the extras listed. The Lion King 1½ is due for release on February 10th 2004.
