      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Based on a story by Robert D. San Souci, Mulan tells the story of a spirited young girl who disguises herself as a soldier to spare her aging father from having to serve in the Imperial Army. Led by Captain Shang, Mulan trains for battle as part of a ragtag troop aided by her two sidekicks: Mushu, a smart-alek little dragon and Cri-Kee, a lucky cricket. (Suzanne Hodges)

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced and windowboxed/pillarboxed 1.66:1 DVD picture exhibits rich, solid animated images. Colors are beautifully saturated with bold reds and blues, atmospheric grays, and deep blacks. The images are sharp and detailed, with excellent dimension and detail. There are no signs of annoying edge halos around objects and pixelization is also rarely noticed. Overall, this is a beautiful picture that should certainly please the whole family. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #43 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I've subscribed to Widescreen Review for a number of years now. Unlike any other magazine in the field, WSR offers an incredible range of excellent equipment reviews, software reviews, and articles on upcoming technologies. It never ceases to amaze me on the inside information that Gary and his gang are able to get. A perfect example of this is the excellent speakers provided on the Home Theatre Cruise! How do you do it, Gary? I use WSR to keep up on which technologies are dueling it out for high-definition supremacy and to help me prepare for my future dream home theatre. Having such insider information is proving invaluable. No other magazine I know of helps to shape the industry it serves in such a positive way. Long live WSR!
