As for the human performers, their flesh tones appear very healthy. Blacks accurately reproduced and the image has excellent contrast. The Dolby Digital 5.1 channel soundtrack is really great, far better than one usually gets from a comedy- especially one where the stars aren t human. Of course, one won t find an overwhelming number of directional effects, but this isn t an action movie. There is a big, open forward soundstage, and the rear channels are effectively deployed when required.
Dialogue is always clean and intelligible, plus the music is very well integrated into the mix.
The opening musical number really kicks. A Dolby Surround soundtrack is also encoded onto the DVD, as are English subtitles. The interactive menus are fairly basic, but they have a cute design. Through the menu system, one can access the standard scene selection and set up features, as well as the DVD s supplements. Director Tim Hill, Gonzo, Rizzo and Kermit participate in the commentary, which is almost funnier than the movie itself.
