      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    With nearly twenty minutes of material restored to this Anniversary Edition of the Visual Effects Oscar

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced and windowboxed 1.66:1 DVD exhibits a well-restored picture that shows little sign of its age. Colors are rich and vibrant, with nicely rendered fleshtones and deep blacks. Though some scenes are slightly hazy, images are sharp and detailed throughout. The animated scenes are solid and smooth, with excellent color saturation. Film grain and source element artifacts are apparent, but are neither excessive nor distracting for the film

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #45 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I read WSR because I enjoy configuring my home entertainment system myself. I don't have enough disposable income to buy all new components and hire an installer to set it all up. So, I have relied on WSR to guide me in almost all aspects of the (continual) upgrade process. I have always stayed glued to the reviews so that I can choose where my dollar is going to affect the greatest impact in my system. When you have a tight budget to work with, even the smallest purchase decisions make a difference.
