The cast of MY DOG SKIP also includes Bradley Coryell, Daylan Honeycutt, Cody Linley, Caitlin Wachs and Harry Connick Jr. as the voice of the narrator. Warner Home Video has done a truly fine job with their DVD edition of MY DOG SKIP . MY DOG SKIP is offered on a dual sided disc, which gives viewers the choice of full screen and anamorphic enhanced wide screen versions. The image is crisp, clean and highly detailed. Additionally, colors are very nicely saturated, without displaying any signs of bleeding or other distortion.
Blacks are right on the money and the image servers up a healthy dose shadow detail.
Digital compression artifacts do not affect the image in any perceivable way. The Dolby Digital 5.1 channel soundtrack has a simple, but pleasant mix. Since this is the story of a boy and his dog in small town America during W.W.II, there is very little call for extensive sound effects. The soundstage has a very open, spacious quality that makes subtle use of the discrete channels to create a very natural sonic environment. Dialogue is very clean and very accurately reproduced.
