Customer Reviews
Short versions only
I really love the Lion King and its wonderful music. Unfortunately, iTunes and/or Disney decided we don't need the complete versions of the songs in these podcasts, so they cut them off before they finish the whole performance.
Teasers...
"Hakuna Matata" and "I Just Can't Wait to be King" are cut off before the song finishes, which is a huge disappointment...
Okay
I would have prefer if the songs were completed in this podcast. Oh well. You can't have everything.
