      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Shiver me timbers! Kermit The Frog is a good sea captain who leads a voyage in search of a hidden treasure, but the villainous Cook (Curry) threatens the safety of the map. Muppet Treasure Island is good fun for the entire family! Based on the novel by Robert Louis Stevenson.

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.85:1 enhanced DVD picture exhibits a pleasing picture that should satisfy young viewers. The dark and gloomy scenes must be viewed in a completely blackened room, as shadow delineation is capabale of delivering visual information in the darkness. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    With good dialogue and an impressive use of each of the available channels, the Dolby

    Reason #36 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I read Widescreen Review because it’s simply the best A/V magazine available. No other magazine includes such a comprehensive discussion of developments and potential developments in the field, as well as a detailed analysis of systems and products available. Widescreen Review provides thorough and easy-to-follow “how to” sections in building and setting up home theatre and is the definitive authority on quality DVDs. No other magazine can beat all that. Kudos to Widescreen Review! I will never stop my subscription.
