Your Opinions and Comments

10 / 10
The Pixar animations films, seems to be the only good animation that Disney releases these days, and this DVD presentation does the Toy Story films justice. Armed with THX certified sound and a digital to digital transfer and more special features than you can shake a stick at, this a box set that is required viewing.

The picture is amazing and even this NTSC version still looks fantastic, with vibrant colours and amazing textures perfectly showcased on the anamorphic transfer.

The sound is again, fantastic. The depth of the sound is astonishing when you consider that the sound was built up from scratch.

The special features on this set are brilliant, as they provide the viewer with an in depth look at the process behind making the films, it also shows the sheer enthusiasm of the film makers about their work.

All in all a fantastic set, which should be viewed by anyone with a DVD player.

If you have a multi-region DVD player, buy this version as both films have fantastic audio commentaries, which Disney neglected to put on the R2 release.
