Haunted Castle (3-D) (Large Format)
Without question, 3-D technology has come a long way since the days of  red and green cardboard glasses, andHaunted Castleoffers  delectable proof. This half-hour digitally animated  feature--also available inThe Ultimate 3-D  Collection, which includes two other films and the H3D  "i-glasses" hardware needed to generate the 3-D imaging--tells the story  of a young rock star facing the Faustian offer to sell his soul for fame  and fortune.The tale is a foil for the effects, of course, but a decent foil with  above-par music and excellent animation and effects, from torches to  trees, gargoyles to guitars. The sound is terrific, enhancing the sense  of depth with a seamless DTS surround-sound mix that works well even in  headphones.--Michael Mikesell
