Still the mightiest animated feature of them all and the undisputed 'king' of the box office, Walt Disney Pictures' THE LION KING roars to life as never before with its dazzling large format debut at Manchester's only IMAX cinema.

Reformatted specifically for IMAX and the giant screen from the film's original digital elements, this special limited engagement offers moviegoers a chance to experience one of the greatest animated adventures of all time on the most majestic canvas imaginable and with a spectacular newly remixed soundtrack.

The film is screened at Manchester IMAX (situated in thefilmworks at The Printworks) which has an IMAX screen as high as an eight storey building, as wide as three double decker buses, half the size of a football pitch and large enough to show a whale, life-size!

With its compelling story, breathtaking animation, colourful characters, Oscar winning music (songs by Sir Elton John and Tim Rice, score by Hans Zimmer), the film follows the adventures of a young lion named Simba, who just can't wait to be king.

The sudden death of his father, Mufasa, and the treacherous actions of his Uncle Scar lead Simba into exile and ultimately on a hero's journey of self-discovery.

Adopting the "hakuna matata" philosophy of his comical jungle guardians - a wart-hog and a meerkat (Pumbaa and Timon) - Simba eventually comes to terms with his destiny and returns home to Pride Rock to help put things right. Join the "circle of life" and relive the magic, majesty and music of this entertainment milestone.

THE LION KING is a U certificate and has a running time of 94 minutes. Tickets can be ordered online at www.manchesterimax.com.
