The Lion King Is The Highest-Selling VHS Tape Of All-Time

It’s hard to overstate The Lion King‘s success. 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. It was the towering achievement of Disney’s Renaissance, lacking only Beauty and the Beast‘s Best Picture nomination. Sure enough, The Lion King was immensely successful on home media as well. 

Though, again, that’s putting it mildly. 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. This is an astonishing accomplishment, though it certainly makes sense. In the ’90s, seemingly every kid had a copy of the movie and watched it religiously.
