      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    "Little Giants" is a family comedy about a peewee football team that fights for the right to play. Former football pro Kevin O

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.78:1 DVD exhibits a bright colorful picture that is a perfect complement to the lighthearted comedy. Hues are nicely saturated and well balanced, with accurate fleshtones and deep blacks. Images are sharp and detailed, with accurate contrast and shadow delineation. Finer details can seem a bit smeared at times. There is little in the way of distractions, as edge enhancement is only noticed on occasion. Pixelization is also minor for a very nice visual experience with this title. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:

    Reason #104 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I trust it, and more importantly it is a trust, which has been earned. Reading Widescreen Review is still the best way for me to keep abreast of new products and emerging technologies, and it has heightened my senses and enhanced my appreciation of my own home theatre. Thanks to Widescreen Review, I have been able to make informed purchases, improve the performance of my equipment, and keep it looking and sounding its best. Reading Widescreen Review has changed my life for the better. Were it not for Widescreen Review introducing me to filming techniques; video transferring, production and playback; widescreen TV technologies; and audio production and playback, I probably would not have gone on to study these technologies to the degree that I have.
