VIDEO: A terrible transfer from Disney . The 1.85:1 image is frequently soft and hazy looking, although some of the outdoor scenes look decent. Colors are generally accurate looking, but that's generally the best thing I can say about this transfer. The print is problematic, occasionally looking dirty and exhibiting scratches. Mainy scenes also contain noticable artifacts and grain- during a few scenes, I found the artifacts severely distracting - there are a lot of instances of pixelization and a couple of slight bits of shimmering. A lot of the film looks "harsh" and not coming close to looking "film-like." Detail is in the image is wanting as well. A scene or two looks average, but for the most part, this is definitely the worst transfer I've ever seen. A lot of people ask me what's the worst looking disc I've ever seen and I seriously think this is it.

SOUND: A very basic sound mix that is mostly dialogue and additional touches of music. Dialogue doesn't sound that great, somewhat on the thin side and not always perfectly clear. Average.

MENUS: Basic film-themed menus.

EXTRAS: Nothing.

Final Thoughts: A funny film, but not a very good DVD. Decent audio, awful video quality and no extras, not even a trailer. Not recommended and Disney needs to make some serious improvements in their DVDs.
