The element used for the transfer is nearly perfect, with a bit of mild film grain being the only negative in the equation. Colors are strongly saturated, without ever appearing artificial. There are no signs of chromatic distortion, nor do the most vibrant hues ever threaten to bleed beyond their boundaries. Black are very accurate and the level of shadow detail is also quite good. Digital compression artifacts are well concealed throughout.
Dialogue is natural sounding and the jokes are always completely understandable.
Frequency response is very good, so the music never sounds harsh or compressed. English and French Dolby Surround soundtracks are also encoded onto the DVD, as are English and Spanish subtitles. Full motion video, animation and sound have been applied to the interface of the interactive menus. Through the menus, one has access to the standard scene selection and set up features, as well as a nice array of supplements. Director Raja Gosnell and producer David Friendly are featured on an informative and mildly entertaining audio commentary.
