      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Surf

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.78:1 DVD shows good detail and shadow delineation, but black levels are slightly milky, which limits the dimensionality of the presentation at times. Colors are bold and vibrant, which should keep young kids interested. Some scenes show much more film grain/noise than others, which can be distracting. Edge enhancement is not overly distracting, but it can be noticed from time to time. (Danny Richelieu)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #119 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I read Widescreen Review because it keeps me up-to-date on the newest technology and gives insightful information regarding brands and types of product. I don't think I would feel comfortable making purchasing decisions without consulting Widescreen Review!
