    Story Synopsis:
    The sequel to Walt Disney

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.85:1 digital-to-digital Fantasia 2000 exhibits image quality that is absolutely breathtaking, exhibiting sharp and detailed animation with an excellent sense of dimension. Fly above and around a group of humpback whales breaching in the clouds in the "Pines Of Rome" segment. Minor edge enhancement is noticed in "Rhapsody In Blue," but otherwise, the simple animation is intriguing. The "Piano Cocerto No.2, Allegro, Opus 102" segment is revealing of excellent "shadow delineation" as well as excellent detail. While the humorous "Carnival Of Animals, Finale" exhibits more simple animation, colors are rich and vibrant. Viewers will be completely engulfed by the beautiful images and fantasic detail in the "Firebird Suite

    Reason #59 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I have read Widescreen Review for years because it has been the only magazine available to me that describes the benefits and options available to anyone interested in widescreen movie viewing. I have learned a lot about movies and their display options (including sound) from reading this magazine.
