However, after NBC aired it for the second time, I knew that I would have to make time to watch the complete miniseries- and am I ever glad that I did. While in the form of a dog, Wendell is able to escape the Queen s clutches with the aid of a magic mirror that deposits him in the legendary 10th Kingdom- namely New York s Central Park. Making matters worse, the reluctant travelers also have to contend with the disappearance of the magic mirror, which is their only way of getting back home to New York. As Virginia and Tony journey across the Nine Kingdoms in search of the mirror and a way of restoring Wendell to human form, they are in fear of being caught by the Queen s minions, who are always just a few steps behind them. The image on the DVD is clean, crisp and very attractive.
Colors are vibrant and are reproduced without and form chroma noise or bleeding.
Blacks are solid and the image has very good depth. Directional sound effects are deployed on occasion and they are very well done. Of course, there is nothing that will tax anyone s audio system, however the mix is always full sounding and pleasant. The interactive menus are mildly animated and offer a fairy tale inspired interface. Through the menus, one has access to the standard scene selection feature, as well as a few nice extras.
