      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Mumble (Wood) is an emperor penguin, and everyone knows that emperor penguins need to sing. Singing just the right tune at just the right time guarantees a lifetime of happiness and commitment with just the right penguin. But Mumble can

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 2.38:1 DVD exhibits a pleasing image, with vibrant colors, well-resolved details, and good depth. Pixilization and compression artifacting can be noticed from time to time, occasionally becoming rather distracting. Edge enhancement is minor but noticeable. The bright white fields of snow and ice are well defined, with good detail even in the most intensely bright portions. While the imagery is good, it does have its problems. (Danny Richelieu)

    Soundtrack:

    Reason #86 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I read Widescreen Review because it offers in-depth, techno nerd detail level views and information about technology; integrated with a plain, easy-to-understand newbie explanation. The combination helps keep the inexperienced and experts alike informed, up-to-date, and market aware. Without Widescreen Review, I'd be just another large electronics store item purchasing sheep. Thank you for shepherding me towards the light.
