      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    The soundtrack and picture of this timeless Disney classic have been painstakingly restored and re-mastered for its 50th anniversary

    DVD Picture:
    The animated, anamorphically enhanced 2.54:1 DVD is an improvement over the previously reviewed DVD (Issue 76), with more naturally saturated colors and the overly bright colors toned down. The less vibrant colors now appear more natural, and the entire image seems to have a layer of grime removed from it. The blacks are deep, and there is a good sense of dimension to the picture, even though shadows aren

    Soundtrack:

    Reason #91 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I need a magazine at dose and not a sugar coat approach to reviews. I need a magazine that is not bias or a sell-out. And Widescreen Review is my winner. I am a 23-year old audiophile that likes to stay in the know and up to date on what’s new and what’s hot. I can't do that with a magazine that says every single review is a good one, like other mags out there that will be left name-less. The Sound And Vision of a product is important, but don’t sell-out to make a buck, and those people out there are the ones who think that Gateway makes a good plasma. Keep up the good work. I love the mag.
