      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    From 1995, not 1985 as is indicated on the box, The Indian In The Cupboard is based on the book by Lynn Reid Banks and is a charming tale for the whole family

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.78:1 DVD exhibits nicely rendered color fidelity, with accurate fleshtones, well balanced hues and deep blacks. Images have a slightly soft character, but detail can be nicely rendered. Fine details shimmer slightly at times. There is a considerable amount of edge enhancement that can be bothersome, yet some scenes are free from its distraction. Compared to the LaserDisc reviewed in Issue 19, the DVD picture is undoubtedly preferred. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #12 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I started with the Ultimate Widescreen DVD Movie Guide and haven’t missed an issue since. I thought it would be nice to have a good resource for DVD reviews, but it’s turned into so much more. It’s to the point where if I don't see certain segments in the mag (new products, one installer, etc.), I feel a little disappointed. Please keep up the great work.
