      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    In a Disney first, Mickey's Twice Upon A Christmas features the debut of Mickey Mouse and his friends in full computer-generated animation. Over 75 years after making history as the first animated character to employ synchronized sound, Mickey Mouse remains as popular as ever! Weaving together a touching tale of holiday cheer, Mickey and his pals learn that being together is more important than anything else at Christmastime. (Suzanne Hodges)

    DVD Picture:
    Given the Botox treatment of animation, Mickey and Minnie have never looked this good! This 1.78:1 anamorphically enhanced, all-digital DVD picture is crisp and clean, with incredible depth, detail, and definition. Colors are engulfing and vibrant, popping from the screen with flawless saturation. The pop-up-book transitions are also quite phenomenal. Viewers will be hard-pressed to find anything to complain about with this DVD. Fantastic! (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:

    Reason #73 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I like the movie reviews, and I like the equipment tests. I enjoy the interviews with manufacturers. I also feel that you are a good source for what is coming out next, trends etc. I think you dig a little deeper in your tests of equipment. Sometimes I have to read between the lines, and I know why you don't slam some company's gear. You have more interesting reading.
