      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:


    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.85:1 DVD exhibits a pleasing picture with sharp and detailed images. For the live action scenes, colors are well balanced, with accurate fleshtones, rich hues, and deep blacks. For the animation, colors appear muted inside the library, but are a bit more vibrant as the adventure leads them to the pirate ship. Some film grain and dirt is revealed from the source element. Edge enhancement and pixelization are minimal. (Suzanne Hodges) Includes a modified 1.33:1 edition (not reviewed) on the disc

    Soundtrack:

    Reason #84 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    Let me tell you a story about a man named Mike. Overwhelmed by components, can't believe marketing claims. And then one day while surfing on the net, up came a page with an interesting claim... Knowledge that is. Reference material. Widescreen Review. Well, the first thing you know old Mike's signed up. Getting monthly coverage and in-depth reviews. He thought Widescreen Review is what we all should read. So now I'm reading Joe Kane and spouting ISF calibration, that is. Image quality. SMPTE bars.
