      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    The Simpsons, in their first feature-length Movie, find the fate of their beloved hometown, Springfield, hanging in the balance when Homer (Castellaneta) and his new pet pig cause a major ecological disaster. The family is forced to flee their home, and it is up to Homer to save his family, Springfield, and possibly, the world. (Stacey Pendry)

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 2.40:1 DVD looks very much like the television show: fleshtones are a rich yellow, images look flat with relatively poor dimensionality, and everyone has four fingers.

    Reason #43 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I've subscribed to Widescreen Review for a number of years now. Unlike any other magazine in the field, WSR offers an incredible range of excellent equipment reviews, software reviews, and articles on upcoming technologies. It never ceases to amaze me on the inside information that Gary and his gang are able to get. A perfect example of this is the excellent speakers provided on the Home Theatre Cruise! How do you do it, Gary? I use WSR to keep up on which technologies are dueling it out for high-definition supremacy and to help me prepare for my future dream home theatre. Having such insider information is proving invaluable. No other magazine I know of helps to shape the industry it serves in such a positive way. Long live WSR!
