If you liked the previous films in the series, then by all means, give this latest installment a look. This is about as good as you can want from a direct to video animated film, no serious concerns in the least. This style of animation is not visually complex by any means, but the image looks very good in the end. I don't think the animation loses any stride in the move onto the digital format, as no problems or compression flaws seem to emerge. The colors look very bright and bold, with no bleeds or other errors to report in the least.
Contrast also looks sharp and while use of shadows is limited, black levels look stark and accurate.
I still wish this was offered in an anamorphic widescreen option, but even so, this is a solid transfer. This disc uses a Dolby Digital 5.1 track, which ensures the musical numbers sound fantastic. The music sounds rich and immersive, while the vocals remain in proper balance and on the whole, those elements shine through with no problems. The rest of the film however, is not active much at all and that is a little disappointing to be honest. A few scenes could have used a boost in the surround mix, but instead come off as flat and uninspired.
