      WSR Narrative Review
    Special Notes:
    Mislabeled on outer slipcase as a "16:9 Widescreen Version." The disc is non-anamorphic widescreen.

    Story Synopsis:
    She only emerges once in four seasons, but the icy-hearted Snow Queen (Fonda) has seemingly made it her mission to ruin any love in the life of Gerda (Hobbs), whose mother

    DVD Picture:
    Mislabeled on the jacket as being anamorphic, the 1.78:1 DVD is not anamorphically enhanced and exhibits a slightly soft picture, though details can be nicely rendered at times. Colors are well balanced, with accurate fleshtones and deep blacks. The snow scenes have an appropriately cold feeling, with lots of blues, grays, and whites. Finer details are noticed shimmering at times. Edge enhancement can be noticed, but it is the slightly blurry appearance that is most annoying. (Suzanne Hodges)

    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.
