    Story Synopsis:
    A seamless blend of animation and computer generated imagery, Atlantis: The Lost Empire is yet another ambitious Disney creation, suitable for an audience a little bit older than the studio

    DVD Picture:
    The all-digital, anamorphically enhanced 2.35:1 DVD (not identified as anamorphically enhanced on the jacket) exhibits sharp and detailed animated images. Color balance is superb, with rich, solid hues. There are no signs of edge enhancement which can distract from even the best animated features. The picture is clean and solid, and should surely delight its target audience. (Suzanne Hodges) The DVD also includes a modified 1.33:1 version (not reviewed).

    Soundtrack:

    Reason #132 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    As an owner of Whole House Audio & Video Inc. (WHAV), I need to stay informed on the latest DVD and DVHS releases and keep an objective opinion on how well they perform. Of all the magazines and periodicals we receive, I constantly find myself reading WIDESCREEN REVIEW over all the others combined. The articles are well-written, thought-out, and accurate. I also find the Editors Couch and the equipment reviews very useful and informative. Thanks for producing a quality magazine without all the BS you find in most other publications.
