      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Pinocchio must literally get back to the family tree in "The New Adventures Of Pinocchio," the sequel to 1996

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.85:1 DVD exhibits a picture with satisfying sharpness and detail, though some minor smearing is noticed. Colors are rich and warm, with accurate fleshtones, and deep blacks. Pixelization can be a problem with this title, with noticeable breakup of finer details, though edge enhancement is minimal. The source element is quite clean, with only minor flecks of dirt and film grain. (Suzanne Hodges) Also includes a modified 1.33:1 (4:3) version (not reviewed).

    Soundtrack:
    The 5.1 audio presentation features fine fidelity and a generally delightful soundfield presence through the music. There

    Reason #81 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I saw my first issue in a newsstand two years ago. The movie reviews caught my attention right away. They were extremely thorough with their inclusion of such items as release dates, aspect ratios, and list of main creators like cinematographer, director, and writers. The breakdown of the critic's composite score is very telling and useful. Equipment reviews are extremely comprehensive and tend to cover a greater range of brands than most publications. One Installer's Opinion is a gem. I've been a subscriber for over a year now and have two of your special publications, both of which are first rate. You seem to be a couple of months ahead of your rival publications with reviews, and new equipment announcements are testament to the quality and dedication of your staff. I'm eagerly looking forward to the next issue as always.
