♥♥♥♥♥ |
Not perfect, but greatness nonetheless

The other reviewers are right. The silly (and at this point futile) cropping of the "offensive" scene in "pastoral" is sill there, and Deems Taylor may as well be nonexistent without that sonorous voice (which you may recall if you watched the VHS of this film, or saw one of it's rereleases).
That being said, the audio and video remastering is quite good- though if Disney thought there was any money in it, they could do better. And the extras are actually interesting- unlike most of the tripe they package into Disney special editions. The "extended" (or roadshow cut) is also very intersting, but since I grew up with the shorter-running-time VHS version, this one seems a little on the long side. But I'm not going to complain about more of this spectacular film.
At it's heart this is a triumph of film and particularly of animation. It is a valuable addition to any collection. |
