And given the high compression, you'll see surprisingly little digital artifacting. All in all, if you want to pick nits, you'll find nits to pick. But I think most people will be very happy with this video. On the audio side, the regular Collector's Series disc and the Limited Edition 2-disc set come packaged with English Dolby Digital 5.1 and 2.0 tracks, both of which sound pretty out of this world. The 5.1 track features a very busy surround mix, filled with lots of panning and directional effects, and active rear channels.
Dialogue is centered up front and it's nice and clear.
The mix creates plenty of great atmosphere and Danny Elfman's playful score sounds terrific here, right from the opening credits. Best of all, there's plenty of low frequency sound to rattle your walls. There is also a DTS Collector's Series disc, which features English DTS 5.1 and Dolby Digital 2.0 audio. The DTS track, as expected, creates a clearer and more natural sounding audio experience, with smoother panning and a wider soundstage. It's also got plenty of bass to satisfy the most demanding DTS-heads.
