    OK, the movie deserves more than 5 stars, but I'm giving it two stars for it being altered. "more picture than ever before?" WTF? The movie was shot/drawn/animated/filmed in the "academy" ratio of 1.37:1. So every time this movie's been released in the past, you pretty much saw every inch of the film (in varying degrees of quality).

    For this movie to be "enhanced" for 16x9 means they blew it up some places, stretched it out in others, so it would fill up a HDTV screen. It's just as annoying as a wide screen movie cropped "pan and scan" style to fit on a traditional 4X3 TV screen. It's not that film purists/movie lovers want a big image; they want the RIGHT image. They want to see the image in the ration it was originally conceived to be seen. I'm pretty sure EZTakes also has another version of this movie in the correct aspect ratio, I'd recommend you get that one instead of this one. I'd rather get a public-domain dollar DVD of this movie, washed out with some splices and marks, than this "restoration."
