Special Features

The first thing I noticed about the Music Of The Heart DVD was its snappy packaging. Miramax took a regular-sized keepcase and added a hinged tray to hold the extra disc (with the other in its normal spot). I like it! My only concern was in regard to marketing. A double case lets people know there

Based on the life story of Roberta Guaspari, and inspired by the documentary Small Wonders (included on a second disc

Contrast and shadow delineation are nicely rendered for a picture that is crisp and clean in all aspects. There are no distracting artifacts or pixelization. The overall appearance is easy on the eyes.

Soundtrack:
The Dolby
