      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Have you ever asked yourself,

    DVD Picture:
    If you can avoid becoming seasick by watching this movie, the anamorphically enhanced 1.85:1 DVD exhibits superb imagery. The undulating animated images exhibit completely solid and smooth colors. The bizarre images are sharp, and accurately convey the actors who portray the characters. In a word, the animation is unusual. In another: fascinating. There are just a few signs of pixelization and shimmering, but the transfer seems true to the intended look of the movie. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby
