      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    "Chuck Jones: Extremes & Inbetweens - A Life In Animation" is a delightful look at the career of Warner Bros. animator Charles Martin

    DVD Picture:
    The 1.78:1 DVD picture is not anamorphically enhanced and is composed of widescreen interviews and documentary footage and Academy format cartoon classics. As expected, depending on the source, the picture is of varying qualities, but the new interviews are nicely photographed with well balanced colors. Sharpness and detailed are nicely rendered. There is little to complain about with regards to edge enhancement or pixelization, so the viewer can lose themselves in the fun subject. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    Most of the Dolby

    Reason #16 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I read to try and find the best quality movies for sound and video. Too many movies these days have horrible sound and with today’s home theatres seem unacceptable. Also, equipment reviews are helpful.
