Comments: For this release Disney went with an AVC encode averaging in the high 20's to low 30's Mbps. For the most part this image is razor sharp and looks nice. This is due to the fact that the majority of this film is computer generated images. I did feel the colors looked somewhat washed-out and lacked the "pop" effect we have grown used to in the modern HD optical world. I listened using the PCM 5.1 4.6 Mbps option. I would rank this is average for todays standards in HD audio as well. The dialog was powerful and well heard, however there was little use of the Surrounds or LFE. If you are a fan of documentary-type films with nice graphics, I can confidently recommend this purchase.
