Colors are quite vivid and are reproduced without any signs of chroma noise or distortion. The film element used for the transfer display occasional blemishes, but they do not detract from the presentation. This well authored DVD keeps digital compression artifacts at bay. The Dolby Digital 5.1 channel soundtrack is designed so that the rock songs play back at a high volume level, plus the mix utilizes the discrete nature of the format bounce sound effects around the entire soundstage. Additionally, there are a number of split surround effects that are effective and a bit surprising for an animated film of this vintage.
Dialogue is relatively clean sounding and always intelligible.
Elmer Bernstein s terrific score is also well integrated into the mix. A matrixed Dolby Surround soundtrack is also encoded onto the DVD, as are English, Spanish and Portuguese subtitles. The interactive menus are nicely designed, but fairly basic in implementation. Through the menus system one can access the standard set up and scene selection features, as well as the DVD's extensive array of supplements. Basically a Workprint with incomplete animation, the rough cut is a true work in progress, differing from the completed movie in a number of ways.
