      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Shiver me timbers! Kermit The Frog is a good sea captain who leads a voyage in search of a hidden treasure, but the villainous Cook (Curry) threatens the safety of the map. Muppet Treasure Island is good fun for the entire family! Based on the novel by Robert Louis Stevenson.

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.85:1 enhanced DVD picture exhibits a pleasing picture that should satisfy young viewers. The dark and gloomy scenes must be viewed in a completely blackened room, as shadow delineation is capabale of delivering visual information in the darkness. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    With good dialogue and an impressive use of each of the available channels, the Dolby

    Reason #48 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    In addition to Widescreen Review, I subscribe to several audio/video publications, such as Sound And Vision, Stereophile, Stereophile Guide To Home Theater, Audio Video Interiors, and peruse through the myriad of British audio video publications when I go to Borders, Barnes & Nobles, or Tower Records. I must acknowledge that Widescreen Review is one of the better ones because it is more like a trade publication than a magazine full of advertisements. Moreover, Widescreen Review was one of the first publications to delve into DVI and more importantly, HMDI, which I deem important because it can make a lot of the current products out there obsolete. Put simply, Widescreen Review is The New York Times of audio/video publication. In other words, if you want real news, you read The New York Times. To stay on top of what’s happening in the audio/video industry, you read Widescreen Review. Enough said.
