A Timeless Classic Given a New Lease of Life!
|
Calling this the best ever family entertainment flick is no hype or exaggeration. Just as it happened way back 70 years ago, trying to keep up with Disney's "Snow White" has been a blessing for fans as now after "Snow White"'s Platinum Edition treatment which included DTS and Dolby 5.1 audio enhancements plus visual restoration, we get a similar treatment unfortunately without the DTS option and yet I had to struggle for the first half hour to try and find any visual imperfections to this restoration but I had to give up as I could find none! The visual effects, especially the tornado scenes still amaze me at just what they were capable of special effects-wise all those years ago. The Dolby Digital 5.1 surround was a real plus for me and went a long way in bringing this all-time classic into the 21st century. If it's so good already, I can only imagine how much better the Blu-ray version would be and I await the day of that release with bated breath! Like a true classic, this movie has aged very, very well and has passed the test of time. Whoever did the casting should have received an Oscar as I thought all the actors did very, very well. Judy Garland was perfect for the role of Dorothy and Bert Laer was excellent in his role as the Cowardly Lion.
The Special Features deserve honorable mention as well; we get a great behind-the-scenes documentary narrated by Angela Lansbury who also did something similar for the "Snow White" restoration dvd as well. There's also a History of Oz, Deleted Scenes and many interviews with the cast. Every child should have a chance to see this film and with all the great restoration work that has been done on this dvd, there is no other perfect time to get this dvd. This a without doubt one of the best ever movies ever made.
Very highly recommended! |
