      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Syracuse, New Jersey is experiencing an unseasonably warm winter. That is until an overnight storm drops piles of snow, blocking roads and covering cars. You know what that means...no school, no rules...Snow Day! It

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.78:1 DVD exhibits a picture that will surely please its young audience. Images are sharp and detailed, with good background definition. Colors are rich and well balanced, with accurate fleshtones and deep blacks and bright whites. Contrast and shadow delineation are excellent. I could not find any distractions in the way of pixelization or edge enhancement.

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #31 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    Great resource for the home theatre enthusiast and industry professional alike. WSR has a nice combination of technical information and lively informative reviews of equipment and software, along with strong coverage of industry trends.
