      WSR Narrative Review
    Special Notes:
    Erroneously listed as a full screen edition on back jacket.

    Story Synopsis:
    Whispers: An Elephant

    DVD Picture:
    The 1.85:1 DVD is not anamorphically enhanced but exhibits very nicely rendered images of the wildlife depicted in the movie. Color fidelity is nicely rendered, appearing natural. Sharpness and detail are pleasing, as is contrast and shadow delineation. Pixelization is detected at times, but edge enhancement is not a problem. The young target audience for this movie should be delighted. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #106 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    No one covers the issues in more detail than Widescreen Review. No one else has the breadth and depth of different review systems on which to base transfer quality opinions. Gary Reber has given more editorial space to important Home Theatre trends and technologies than anyone in the industry, AND he has Joe Kane and Greg Rogers on his staff as advisors/columnists. 'Nuff said.
