Movie Reviews of Jack & The Beanstalk
Movie Review: DVD Audio Problem...
Summary: 3 Stars
I was delighted beyond words when my brand-new "Jack and the Beanstalk" DVD arrived today; I was immediately struck by the splendid picture and clarity of sound. Marvelous! However, after watching for a while, I noticed (to my great dismay) that the audio track was not in sync with the visual element: e.g., the sound of an door slamming occurs a good second or two later than it should. NOTE: This defect exists only on the English audio track -- the sound on the Japanese audio track is in perfect sync.
In order to make sure that the error was indeed unique to the DVD edition, I compared it to my VHS copy and lo! -- the audio on the video cassette (English dubbed) is in perfect sync!
I remain hopeful that I just received a bum copy, and am waiting for a replacement DVD from the website from which it was purchased. I'll be sure to report whether or not the new DVD suffers from the same problem.
Has anyone else experienced this trouble?
Movie Review: Excellent Movie, Sloppy DVD
Summary: 3 Stars
This is definitely a gem of a movie. Old style anime, a classic tail, and musical numbers mixed together in a memorable way.
I would give this product a higher rating if it weren't for the poor DVD authoring. I had read in a previous review that there was trouble with the English audio track offset and it was present on my copy of the DVD as well.
