In "My Love Affair With Marriage," from an early age songs and fairy tales convince Zelma that love would solve all her problems as long as she abides by societal expectations of how a girl should act. But as she grows older, something doesn't seem right with this concept of love: the more she tries to conform, the more her body resists. (Gary Reber)

The 1.85:1 1080p AVC picture, reviewed on a VIZIO Quantum X P85QX-JI UHD/HDR display, was animated digitally and sourced from a 2K Digital Intermediate. The animation is exquisitely beautiful and unique in design, which delivers a fascinating visual experience. The color palette exhibits saturated hues that are abstract and sensual with predominantly stylistic pastel-like shadings. Contrast is superb with deep, solid blacks; excellent shadow shadings; and natural white levels. Resolution is superb with fine animated textural detail and image clarity. This is a fabulous visual experience that will be appreciated by those who love animated art and animation that is educational. (Gary Reber)
The DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1-channel soundtrack is enveloping throughout with excellent atmospheics and sound effects. Foley sound effects are perfectly executed. Kristian Sensini's orchestral/choral score is dynamic sounding with excellent sound staging and aggressive surround envelopment. The music choral segments are powerful and deliver excitement. The orchestra, choir and singing are perfectly recorded. Dialogue, which is subtly directional, sounds spatially integrated, This is an incredible holosonic® soundtrack that impresses. (Gary Reber)
