Blacks appear accurate, plus the picture boasts smooth contrast, as well as very good shadow detail and depth. The film element used for the transfer is almost perfect, with just a handful of minute blemishes present. The Dolby Digital 5.1 channel soundtrack has a standard comedy mix, which is strong on dialogue and music and light on directional sound effects. There is good channel separation across the forward soundstage, which provides stereo imaging for the music. Split surround sound effects are few and infrequent, but the rear channels do add ambience and musical fill.
Dialogue is crisp and fully intelligible throughout the film.
The bass channel provides a solid bottom end, but isn't afforded any opportunities to show off. As for the DTS 5.1 channel soundtrack, it is more of the same, only with slightly better resolution and additional musical clarity. Strangely, this major studio release offers no subtitles- only English captioning. Full motion video, animation and sound enhance the playful interface of the interactive menus. Through the menu system one has access to the standard scene selection and set up features as well as a nice array of extra features.
