I'm very thankful that Disney didn't mess this one up. This is the most talked about and most anticipated part of this disc. Everyone ranted how much they wanted the Japanese language track, and here it is, in pure 5.1 Dolby Digital. Also included is a French 5.1 Dolby Digital track. The sounds of nature here are presented in an incredibly crisp fashion.
Dialogue is clear and easy to hear.
Best of all, Joe Hisaishi's catchy, wonderful and memorable score uses all the channels efficently, it sounds perfect. The tracks perfectly capture the heart and spirit of the movie. This part is a bit disappointing. First off, you got the dub trailer in full frame and two channel sound. The trailer has a few bits of grain and blemishes, but looks solid.
