Selling over 32 million copies and producing $520+ million in revenue, The Lion King became the best-selling VHS of all-time, with Disney’s Snow White And the Seven Dwarfs coming up in second place.
Even beyond the wildest expectations set for the movie, The Lion King proved to be incredibly profitable and extremely lucrative, paving the way for a best-selling soundtrack, a thunderously successful Broadway musical, and a recent “live-action” remake.
Sure enough, The Lion King was immensely successful on home media as well.
