    Story Synopsis:
    The sequel to Walt Disney

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.85:1 digital-to-digital Fantasia 2000 exhibits image quality that is absolutely breathtaking, exhibiting sharp and detailed animation with an excellent sense of dimension. Fly above and around a group of humpback whales breaching in the clouds in the "Pines Of Rome" segment. Minor edge enhancement is noticed in "Rhapsody In Blue," but otherwise, the simple animation is intriguing. The "Piano Cocerto No.2, Allegro, Opus 102" segment is revealing of excellent "shadow delineation" as well as excellent detail. While the humorous "Carnival Of Animals, Finale" exhibits more simple animation, colors are rich and vibrant. Viewers will be completely engulfed by the beautiful images and fantasic detail in the "Firebird Suite

    Reason #127 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I read Widescreen Review magazine because it gives not only in-depth reviews on equipment, as well as new technologies and technical breakthroughs, but also it has the best information on DVD movies in the world!!! Because I love movies so much (I own over 300 DVDs), Widescreen Review helps me decide which ones will look and sound the best without me having to rent hundreds of DVDs each month. The month is not complete without my copy of Widescreen Review magazine!!! Wish I would get two or three copies every month instead of one!!! Thank you for helping me with my passion!!!!
